WHY NIGERIANS ARE DISCUSSING YESTERDAY’S MATTERS TODAY

THE DISAPPEARING FADAMAS…THE FOLLY OF A PEOPLE AND WHY DUBAI IS THE NEW MECCA FOR NIGERIANS
In fact, what the nation should be talking about now is how the mega dams and massive irrigation projects, both of which have acted as catalysts to worsen the Northern Nigerian ecology and caused the near extinction of the fadamas – traditional agriculture in the North, have contributed to causing famine and general poverty in Nigeria, particularly in the North, earning her the shame of being labelled the POVERTY CAPITAL OF THE WORLD.
We should also, be talking about the effects of over-grazing on the Nigerian environment – intractable desertification (North) and erosion/flooding (South, particularly the South East), and impending flooding all over the nation due to poor land management and climate change, amongst others.
Where there is a vision, the nation ought to have turned the whole desert up North into oceans and seas, bursting with agricultural activities, having all sorts of sports such as car racing – FORMULA 1, skyscrapers, ice skating in the desert, the trans Sahara high way to Europe with HS2 speed train, etc.
In fact, what Nigerians and indeed, all persons of African ancestry are good for, is sight-seeing and not inventions, creativity, innovations, imaginations, strategic deep thinking, futuristic planning – the reasons why our boys have continued to be ambushed and killed time and again by a band of street urchins – the Almajiris, who form the BOKO HARAM FIGHTER FORCE (BHFF), despite all my security inputs and leads from over here to the Nigeria authorities.

“Thus, unarguably, whilst the Arab invaders left Africans with Koran to be beheading and bombing themselves, stealing, killing, maiming and destroying themselves, the Christian West left them with the Bible with which they have been using to rob “the least of these ones” of their widow’s mites. All this nonsense is due to the pervasive foolishness of all persons of African ancestry and their gross lack of imagination, innovation, creativity and inventiveness – the effect of the colonial education whose goal is perpetual mental slavery as evidenced amongst successive generations of all persons of African ancestry – the people politically and pejoratively referred to by the rest of the world as BLACKS.”
