It’s Time To Listen To…… Emeagwali & One Million Nigerians (Part 1)
Time might be perceived, defined and configured as being relative. But, ironically the law of relatively is some kind of wisdom that spurs the mind and commands us to search the universe for better solution.
Such a phenomena challenges the thought process and requires in-dept observation – this critical mass that makes us to listen to the voice of wisdom wrapped in timelessness! This is perhaps the time in the life of “that living creature” called Nigeria to turn the head, refocus the mind and listen to her inner-self.
This is the right time for Nigeria to ponder and listen to the voice of her productive children echoed through the global wilderness of the emerging Information Age.
This is the voice of Dr. Philip Emeagwali and more than a million other Nigerian super-brains in Diaspora – who perhaps through the global observatory lenses – can proffer functional solutions to the astronomical challenges poised to the Nigerian (nay African) nation in the 21st Century Information Age.
And listen must we not before we miss the golden opportunity of seeing similar a comet? What is the harm in listening? Conventional wisdom dictates that it takes few men (and women too) to change the world. Also, it takes just a few dedicated Nigerian to make science and technology work positively for her.
Perhaps Philip Chukwurah Emeagwali and many other Nigerian super-brains in Diaspora indisputably possess the capability to spur the nation to greatness. Ignore “perhaps” – there is no doubt about the above statement!
