BUILDING AN INNOVATIVE COUNTRY (1)

When you fly over cities in the developed world, especially over farms, it is a beautiful scenery when you look down. The rows of farms are clearly marked out. When you fly over Nigeria and your plane is close to landing, take a look at the farms. They are haggard and out of order because we still use crude implements. It is so bad that if a farmer who died a hundred years ago wakes, he will go back to his farm and just continue where he stopped cos he will still remember it just the way he left it, smh.

We are still using the same old crude implements in this age of mechanized farming.
The way maize/corn had been either cooked or roasted is the same way it is still being done today. Same pot, coal and wire-mesh and I wonder shouldn’t somebody develop something that will deliver these people who roast corn from the smoke they inhale? The average Nigerian mind must become creative.

It has been established world wide that wealth creation only begins with the mind. Countries that depend and build their economy on their natural resources are among the poorest countries in the world with just a few exceptions. This is where we are today in Nigeria. We have
depended so much on our oil that we need to sound the alarm, this country needs to change. There was a time that the richest people in the world were the sultans of oil rich emirates. Those days are gone and they are gone forever.
The wealthiest people in the world now are people who use their minds. The wealthiest people in the world presently are those who trade in information products like Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg and the rest of them.

We can get there!!!
