MESSAGE TO E-MONEY AND OTHER WEALTHY NIGERIANS.
First, THANK YOU for the lives you have touched.
Thank you for the people you have HELPED.
Thank you for the families you have SUPPORTED.
Thank you for the generosity.
Giving is GOOD.
Helping people is GOOD.
Changing someone’s life is GOOD.
But there is something we need to SAY.
If you do not know where else to put your MONEY,
look towards NIGERIAN SCHOOLS.
Go to the UNIVERSITIES.
Go to SECONDARY SCHOOLS.
Go to PRIMARY SCHOOLS.
Spend your money there.
Fund RESEARCH.
Fund LABORATORIES.
Fund ENGINEERING DEPARTMENTS.
Fund MEDICAL RESEARCH.
Fund TECHNOLOGY HUBS.
Fund SCHOLARSHIPS.
Fund POSTGRADUATE STUDENTS.
Fund INNOVATION.
Fund CLASSROOMS.
Fund LIBRARIES.
Fund TEACHERS.
Fund STUDENTS.
Fund the people who can build the FUTURE.
Because that is what serious countries DO.
That is what serious GOVERNMENTS do.
That is what serious PRIVATE SECTORS do.
They fund KNOWLEDGE.
They fund SCIENCE.
They fund TECHNOLOGY.
They fund RESEARCH.
They fund UNIVERSITIES.
They fund the people who can solve problems the ordinary eye cannot even SEE.
Now the question is:
Can Nigeria build its OWN?
Can we have our own MICROSOFT?
Can we have our own APPLE?
Can we have our own TESLA?
Can we have our own serious CAR BRANDS?
Can we have our own MEDICAL TECHNOLOGY COMPANIES?
Can we have our own SOFTWARE GIANTS?
Can we have our own SEMICONDUCTOR INDUSTRY?
Can we have our own RESEARCH-DRIVEN COMPANIES?
Can we build technologies the WORLD will buy?
Yes.
But it will not happen by accident.
It will not happen by clout.
It will not happen by gifting cars to people who mock EDUCATION.
It will not happen by rewarding NOISE while abandoning KNOWLEDGE.
It will happen when people with MONEY begin to fund people with IDEAS.
It will happen when wealthy Nigerians begin to adopt UNIVERSITY DEPARTMENTS.
One person funds CHEMICAL ENGINEERING.
Another funds MATERIALS SCIENCE.
Another funds COMPUTER SCIENCE.
Another funds MEDICINE.
Another funds AGRICULTURE.
Another funds RENEWABLE ENERGY.
Another funds ROBOTICS.
Another funds AI.
Another funds BIOTECHNOLOGY.
Another funds MANUFACTURING.
Another funds RESEARCH into Nigerian problems.
Water.
Power.
Roads.
Health.
Food.
Security.
Housing.
Transportation.
Waste.
Energy.
Industrial production.
These are real problems waiting for real MINDS.
But those minds need FUNDING.
They need LABORATORIES.
They need EQUIPMENT.
They need BOOKS.
They need COMPUTERS.
They need GRANTS.
They need SCHOLARSHIPS.
They need lecturers who are not thinking of SURVIVAL every morning.
The least LECTURER in Nigeria should be earning close to what professionals in industry earn.
A person training ENGINEERS should not be living like a beggar.
A person training DOCTORS should not be humiliated by society.
A person training SCIENTISTS should not be abandoned.
A person training future LEADERS should not be treated like a nuisance.
Because when you destroy the dignity of TEACHERS and LECTURERS,
you destroy the future quietly.
Fund UNIVERSITIES.
Fund UNIVERSITIES.
Fund UNIVERSITIES.
That money can NEVER go to waste.
A car gift can trend for ONE WEEK.
A laboratory can produce value for DECADES.
A scholarship can change a FAMILY forever.
A research grant can create a PRODUCT.
A product can become a COMPANY.
A company can become an INDUSTRY.
An industry can change a NATION.
That is how serious countries think.
They do not only celebrate people who TREND.
They fund people who BUILD.
They do not only reward people who make NOISE.
They fund people who can solve PROBLEMS.
They do not only gift entertainers.
They endow RESEARCH CHAIRS.
They build LABORATORIES.
They sponsor PHD STUDENTS.
They fund STARTUPS from UNIVERSITIES.
They connect RESEARCH to INDUSTRY.
They turn KNOWLEDGE into PRODUCTS.
They turn PRODUCTS into COMPANIES.
They turn COMPANIES into NATIONAL POWER.
Dear @SenRemiTinubu, I have started roasted agbado business as instructed by you. I used my certificates to lit up the fire.
Do well to ensure bandits do not attack me on my way to farm, do well to ensure price of transportation doesn’t run me out of business. Lastly, while you and governor’s wives cruise in the exotic cars you shared, please stop by and buy my corn.
Honorable mention.
The South Eastern Patriarch of uprisen olodos.
250KG of visceral fat, 3 gram of brain cells.
The very Ebube Dike of fools whose entire significance is tied to money.
No class. No decorum. No modicum of intellect.
Cha cha cha Olodo upriser kwenu o. 👏
You need to have balls of steel to drive "intellectual" conversations in today's Nigeria social media space.
As for the congregation of the uprisen olodos, in the conversation of the Olodo uprising - I have decided to share my own think piece.
