Because, the system of education we run in Africa is still the same we inherited from colonial Britain. The education was originally meant to keep us dumb, unfortunately, it's still achieving it's purpose. It only allow the creation of follow-follow leaders and follow-follow citizens. So, we see airplanes fly and we even enter it, but we don't want to know how it was made. We see ships travel on water, but we don't care how it was built. All we want is buy the latest Prado jeeps, but we don't care about how it was made.

Our education system disables the African mind to want to explore scientifically, and it was intentionally made that way by Britain. Same for Francophone African countries.

Africa cannot develop until education is restructured and science taught in our native languages across Africa to enable children have inquisitive minds; like start building robots even from primary schools.

Africa cannot develop without investment in grassroots science.

- Here, in the US, public colleges and universities are required by law to make their campuses voter-registration areas. In fact, my alma mater was a polling unit in the 2012 elections.

- Smoking is generally prohibited in restaurants

- Presidential nominees only campaign in 8-11 states during the general election. Those states are referred to as "swing states".

- In most states, patrons cannot touch strippers. Only handshakes/hugs are allowed. Most counties/cities and states go to the extent of legislating the type of outfits strippers should wear on the job.

- The federal minimum wage is $7.25/hour. Some states (and cities) have a higher minimum wage. California's minimum wage is presently $10/hour, which will increase to $15/hour in 6 years time.

- Full time work, in general, is no less than 40hrs per week. It would surprise you to know that some highly skilled professionals such as lawyers, doctors, investment bankers etc work up to 60 hours per week.

Please I will want to contact you privately.I want to use same means to travel but need to make some enquires from you.Thanks

Your email address or mobile number would be appreciated.

OP, Welcome to the US. Most of your observations are spot-on, especially the church-going part and work.

-If you clock-in for work, you must be actually working. No time for dulling or chatting on the phone except during your lunch, or break. For minimum wage workers, lunch usually lasts for 30 mins if the shift is more than 5 hours. Breaks last for 15 minutes.

-Salaried workers get 1hr+ for lunch, in addition to breaks.

-I'd go out on a limb and say only 30% of people in my county go to church on Sundays. There is no traffic on the freeways on Sunday mornings. And I also noticed there are no billboards advertising a church.

-In the US, if your home electronic appliances develop a fault, it's cheaper and more convenient to buy a new one.

-I'm yet to see a cobbler (shoe maker) here. If there is a tear in your shoe or sandal, you simply by a new one.

-California law mandates restaurants to serve a free plastic cup of water to anyone that requests for it.

-No one can be tried twice for the same crime, due to the American constitution's prohibition of "double jeopardy".

Hi,
how do you intend to get your green card? or are you going to be shuttling between Nigeria and the US every 6 months? won't that raise suspicion of the border agents? Thanks.
