My brother, it's a tough climb back to the top. Slavery and colonisation dealt a huge blow to the African psyche. To our sense of self and competence. We need a major program of re-orientation that starts with the kids in nursery and primary schools. Instilling knowledge of, and pride in our historical accomplishments as Africans, and our massive contributions to human civilization.

I heard they don't even teach History at all now in our public schools. In my days at least we were taught some African history - Ghana, Mali, Songhai, Kanuri empires etc. Which is why one has retained interest in the subject till today. So we really need to go back to the drawing board, in terms of our curriculum. Good thing you mentioned China. In China, they don't joke with their history. Every Chinese kid is taught about their heroes, from Genghis Khan to Chairman Mao, to Confucius. In fact the principles of Confucianism, stressing hardwork and frugality, are drilled into every Chinese kid before the age of 10. That is the sort of thing we need to do here. Social engineering as they call it.

Abeg, Abeg, Abeg!!! Why are you people like this, we are talking about competence and you are bringing tribe. How all you lot always manage to bring in tribalism into serious issues amaze me.

Now to the issue, Looking back at her past records, she can never and will never even be considered for such position! The post of a World bank President is not by academic qualifications or by how many seminars or meetings you attend with world leaders.

And never you compare Adesina to Okonjo, it's insulting pls.

No No No! That doesn't make it wrong. Different countries use different methods of calculations,just like measurements.but they are all correct.

In this case, America uses PEMDAS where "P" stands for "Parenthesis" and "E" stands for "Exponents/Exponentials",

Britain and Australia use BODMAS and BIDMAS where "O" stands for "Order" and "I" stands for "Indices"

Canada and NewZealand use BEDMAS where 'E' stands for "Exponents/Exponentials"

some even use PIDMAS or PEDMAS where 'P' stands for 'Parenthesis' ,'I' for 'Indices' & 'E for exponents/exponentials'

Nigeria uses BODMAS where 'O' stands for 'of' which is still correct.

Because Indices,Exponents,of and order all relate to "powers and square roots" which is the message they are all trying to pass across in different Languages!


so you see, the cummutative hierarchy within Mathematics (especially in order of operations) is expressive in dimensions explicit to geographical locations and colonization.

THANK YOU!
