Realization Time Is Now By gbite martins Now that the advisers to President Jonathan of Nigeria had declared they saw nothing wrong in honoring Nigerian professionals in foreign land. It will be impossible to expect these professionals, who only think of being accepted academically and live for seeking approval from their managers, to question the worthiness of being honored for contributing to another country’s economy. Receiving these honors from one of the people they claimed prevented them to demonstrate their experiences, by not providing amenities in their country of origin, is a dangerous way of thinking by bunch of PhD’s. Fredrick Lugard must be right to say southern Nigerians don’t have the ability to see their future. You can Google Fredrick Lugard. Producing generations of graduates that claim perfection psychologically among each others, enabling continue disconnection between old and new generation, but run to others to be managed is indoctrinations. No country can develop on only book theory. It’s time to start bringing up logically sound generation, that will see how dangerous and wasteful it is to bring up youth with the spirit of going around the world, being managed at home and everywhere they go, as a way to demonstrate their version of clear perception of truth. At least, education is learning process to acquire clear perception of truth. It’s not about given any African President medal of honor on international stage, but having their names in their country’s history books to determine their tangible achievements in office. If Africans are going to contribute anything tangible towards black race’s progress, while their counterparts outside the continent were dwelling on how chains were put on their neck in the movie industries for prosperity, they should start educating their youth on how others are dealing with their counterparts. In terms of how black president having no birth certificate, in a country where immigration is billion dollars business to monitor every visitors, instead of producing leaders and generations that believe population prevented them to progress adequately. Africans stagnant way of thinking is not white people’s fault. Education is not about dwelling on knowing the past, but should be about knowing where you stand to see the mistakes of the past, rather than reliving your past. What the southern Nigerians especially the Yoruba and some Africans outside their countries can do to contribute towards the advancement of their country, is to create a culture of making suggestions towards their country’s development, instead of complaining and blaming their brothers and sisters at home of what all of them considered education from foreign countries, by asking themselves these questions. What it is the Black Africans were looking for from their masters after over 30 to 50 years of independent, they’re yet to find? Why disadvantage people cannot see being radical is looking for answers to ignored questions? Why they have to bring in foreign countries to establish factories or industries on education they’ve acquired for over 50 years? Why do they think allowing other’s languages to dissolves their dialects and writeable languages, is to their future advantage? Why creation of new words had stopped in their languages, but take pride in claiming superiority on adopted languages among each other and conjuring new words in other people’s interpretation of sound? Let’s not forget that we were taught the word was God in the Bible, as it is in many other religions. If these questions can be addressed, they’ll see it’s a waste of time going around or waiting for their counterparts, who were comfortable functioning within the frame work of other’s design outside the continent, to come and contribute towards development of the continent. |
