Nigeria's Hour of Decision

I have spent close to six years understanding national productivity and workflow modeling. I will give you, first, my honest opinion. Within twenty years the nation of Nigeria shall disintegrate into full-scale conflagration of the ethnic sort. Like any nation that does not understand how to manage its resources. It is not a matter of anything other than the failure of Nigerian PhDs to be relevant in negotiations on how to use Power. Now, I'll be honest with you. I'm a free citizen of the earth, so I will never walk on Nigerian soil again unless under certain circumstances. Nothing in Nigeria is worth the indignities I have to suffer. But Nigerians, emotionally bound to something they cannot understand (called Sovereignty), corrupt themselves yearly because Nigeria is "home." So, to a man, Nigerians are corrupt. It is, relatively, a precise charge. Nigeria's problem is the problem of Africa. No one can think fast enough to keep up with modern European economic science. When I began to study econometrics under Gujjaratti I shuddered at the depth of it. These days it makes me laugh to observe that the great econometricians of Europe all eventually got bored with the lack of understanding and perhaps mediocrity of their students, and began great dialogs which, hopefully, I'll get to put to theater one day. These were mighty men. The best of Nigeria's minds, for example, shall not stand in the same sphere as my mentor Dr. Selano, a man who speaks seven languages fluently and who understands the folly of nations so well it is said that he once sank the world economy when he was drunk on champagne. He was celebrating the fact, that Saturday, that his investment in me was not wasted.
You may not understand what I am saying. Take one day in Switzerland and contrast it with one day in Lagos. If you are racist, then you will find a way to justify the madness of Lagos. But if you are not, then a feeling of awe will envelope you... when you finally realize, just where Nigeria is today... and where it was in 1979 when the new Republic had all the world buzzing with anticipation. It was not Babangida who killed Nigeria. Neither was it Soyinka with his foolishness in dealing with Babangida (I will never understand it in history... is the man a fake? Or does he not know what nobility is?) What killed Nigeria is the Ooni of Ife. I once believed that I would only step on Yoruba soil again if to visit the Ooni's palace and pay my respects. Alas, I have none left for His Eminence today. He is dead to me. As is Yoruba civilization. Let us find out if I am lying.
