It is just the mentally blind as well as a pitiably self deluded person that might say get up using the country socially, economically and politically since its flag independence from Britain 50 years ago. It continues to be an awkward social engineering completely and absolutely nothing short of which very obscure phenomenon that now permeates our entire national life. Whichever way you wish to have a peek at it, Nigeria could be likened to some lighted candle which includes its wax burning slowly and steadily. This is, no doubt, as an effect of lack of fine leadership in their entire political landscape, crass and inordinate opportunism, unbridled corruption in every certainly one of the facets of the company's social fabrics, nepotism, tribalism, religious bigotry and all other vices that may do not be associated with all the kingdom of animals. Whether we like it you aren't the fact remains and ironically too that in spite of her enormous economic potentials, the nation remains one from the poorest and a lot underdeveloped places from the world. This may be its shameful disposition within the comity of civilized nations for very many years. Despite her huge income of not less than US$6 billions daily from crude oil alone, her average citizen still lives on less than two dollars a day. Common sense suggests that things must just not able to carry on in this way this also will be the reason our youngsters should be mentioned on the way of an new global social order notwithstanding the actual fact that this so-called Millennium Development Goal remains a long way away from your knowledge and also the reach of any typical grassroots person only exist inside psyche of the at the corridor of power only. It is usually good to know some people talk glibly and thoughtlessly too that this industrial revolution in Britain was the country's catalyst for rapid economic development within the 18th and 19th centuries forgetting which it may not have been possible without men of education, science and technology like Richard Arkwright, James Hargreaves, Reverend Edmund Cartwright, James Watt as well as some others like them.. What the totality of singular and joint initiatives of these men of history brought towards the world include: 1. Discovery and utilization of new energy sources. 2. Invention and fabrication of recent machinery and other automated/mechanical devices. 3. Invention and development of faster kinds of transportation and communications that today's Information and Communication Technology is surely an offshoot. We must be mindful of the fact the rapid social and economic growth and development of Britain in the 18th and 19th centuries; USA in 19th century, Japan in late 19th and early 20th centuries was permitted inside the first place by their men of education, science and technology. It is not too our policy makers inside the education industry usually are not fully conscious of the incontrovertible fact but they seem being beyond touch with all the reality knowning that will be the reason why they feel much unconcerned about how you can move it forward by allowing the academic staff union of Nigerian universities to go on strike endlessly. It is quite shameful that, today, our universities are will no longer citadel of learning like inside the events of yore but a breeding ground for cultism, political thuggery as well as some types of social miscreants that have become the bane in our entire social fabrics. It is very shameful that several Nigerian university graduates can hardly express themselves articulately and adequately in English language while the present rating in our post-secondary institutions inside the set of global university index is not even attempt to write home about. As a result one wonder of what way the labor of our own heroes past is not in vain so where can we range from here?
