What are your thoughts on the topic, and what do you think should be done

Yes. Nigeria will one day make science - as in, the use of our senses - a priority.

Today many tremble nakedly in a Garden of Eden labouring in fear of death. While day by day more and more decide to use their God given senses as Scientist Eve did to check for themselves if they shall surely die if they were to open their eyes and see.

It's kind of an inevitability, innovate or die.

With our leaders and current mindsets, No.

Best you can do is be science literate yourself, and make sure the next generation understands science, understand it's not magic, and what has been and can be accomplished with it.

You need to understand that the date will one day be in 2121, then 2221, .... then 3121.

One day go be one day, even if its for our great great great great great grandchildren.
