If we are waiting for some change its not going to happen! Being that those who are lecturing today are lost in what today requires! Including the parents that belong to the baby boomers age who are trapped in old school beliefs! It would really take a mutant injection to shift things! I have a design but it would take time to see the result! Are Africans patient to see themselves through?
A lot believe we are lazy, maybe! Remember that there is an influence in the biological atmosphere that we are in! The hotter the weather the duller the people! To prove this divide the world in half and you will see a pattern where all the countries in the Southern Hemisphere are underdeveloped and the northern are developed! The other is nurture to rise we must force "assert" ourselves against nature!
The second. The Then family values have disintegrated; where parents focused their kids on money rather than development! And on a social level we had spread the internal apathy! How many speak of vision? As soon as you do, you find people who tell you it isn't possible or you are a dreamer and the guy folds his hands cos he cares more about what others say. The fact that the educational system internally had been corrupted had worsened the situation for the abled youth to find skill and support!
The chase for easy money "oil" had further worsened the situation! The fact that most of the people who were working were civil servants in government compounded the issue, which means they never had to do anything to make ends meet, which curbed them from the instinct and skills in entrepreneurship and business! Creativity is shunned cos sports, arts and culture is considered for the riffraff and parents want to see their kids be lawyers, engineers and doctors. Now there is a bottle neck where lawyers are practising 419. Doctors have become babalawos and engineers have been put in fancy cages "banks" to count money! Total skewed values if you ask me! Diaspora that could be of help are fought and asked for remittance which only feeds and breeds vultures and hyenas on the grass root level!
In Africa we had no system from start, we had colonialism but that isn't a system, it was a strategy for others to gain what they needed! We never tried ourselves to grow from there! Nigeria wasn't oppressed like South Africa! I think the mosquitoes and our aggressiveness saved us from our lands being liveable but it has also been our curse!
