I will never enroll in the school of thought that the global economic system is designed to keep Africa under unending poverty.

African Nations are the instrumentalizers of their recurring technological backwardness and mostly the originators of their socio-economic issues.

During the course of defending my #Green4Blue Initiative, I made a point, that African Nations are presently redundant in supporting the proliferation of global infrastructural shift; they currently do not have long long-term plans that supports the Green Revolution. However, the major implication is that in the next few decades, by the time Internal combustion engines (petrol/diesel-driven machines) are already phased-out across the developed regions, African Nations would still be at the mercies of these developed Nations and their automotive manufacturers through their massive importations of Green Machineries.

Proactive Countries across the globe are currently launching solar-powered windows for energy collection, solar park, faster EVs with long mileage, hybrid cars, and many other forms of renewable energies, whereas most African Universities are still having the technology of internal combustion engines in their syllabuses. Can you spot the difference.

The solution is for African Nations to catch-up with the rising waves of global civilization. The foundational step towards the realization of this goal is to develop an effective R& system while also eliminating every form of myopic instincts that have been subjecting the African development in the dungeon of retardation.

We are the cause of our problem. See innoson motor for example, a serious government would make sure every government office has at least ten of that car. Our children that don't even know their own language are been taught foreign languages in schools(They can't even speak at least one of the 3 major languages in Nigeria), even our very own pidgin is forbidden. If your cloth is made in Aba it is fake(but we have forgotten how tecno started). The thing pain me. We are selling ourselves to the white man.

the funny thing is: we don't know that we need it. I was discussing the other day with some "graduates", and they were telling me 'the system is already bad and there is nothing we can do about it". And I told them that you and I are the system. Our collective mind set that the system is bad is the bad system. If we collectively try to change our mindset then the system would auto correct.

The first step towards liberation is knowledge...

have a look at the attached image, the problem is that the black do not read, most do not strive to upgrade, whereas, the system changes every now and then..
Readers are leader, we can lead the world when we start reading for value-added purposes...

I like that clause"value added purposes". Most of us usually read to pass exams-used to be among this group. Thats why I tell people that care to listen read everything even the one that you feel are against your principles, that way you develop an open mind.

In sum, education is meaningless if it cannot transcend to food on the table of a common man.

Cheers bro, you seems learned...
