So sorry, trudax, they can never see it in that way, because very few people possess that kind of deep thought when it comes to reasoning and brainstorming which is mainly peculiar to mostly introverts. When I was young, I think alot... Like, where do people came from, who created us, who is God, who created God, are there other people elsewhere just like us? It goes on and on like that, and then I will suddenly get so scary, chills from within and then I dismiss that thought and I was around 4yrs during this period. So, back to your question. Only some certain individuals have that level of abstract deep thinking faculty in them... Unfortunately, the society we live in doesn't favors it, they find a way possible to suppress such deep level of thinking at all cost. Thumbs up, I love your post @trudax
I love your post. I am actually surprised that there are people in this country who share my views.

Have you ever wondered why in Nigeria when someone makes a claim, the common response you will get is: Who told you? It's never why: Why do you think so?
This represents a cultural history that has repressed the act of questioning. How would a society move forward when the act of questioning, which is the bedrock of change and invention is rebuked right from the home?
When I was younger I used to always think a lot, and whenever I would be engage in serious thought about something I observed or something I read, my dad would walk into my room and tell me that I should stop thinking and go and play with my friends. In Nigeria only people who have problems are supposed to think.

You are so on point with what you said about being knowledgeable. I was having a conversation with a friend a week ago and we were talking about the popular entertainment gist and she was enjoying the convo and contributing excitedly, but when I drifted the conversation into abstract subjects, she lost interest, saying I was boring her like her lecturers used to and I was using too much big grammar.

Even if our foundation is bad, can't common sense show people the usefulness of acquiring knowledge, developing the act of critical, independent thinking and open mindedness? I mean, no one told me this. And I bet no one told you too. Why can't the majority see it?

MurderX:
Correct! Nigerians will only see this point after the third world war or 1000yrs later.
