NIGERIA The Mindset We need
The peculiar situation we all find ourselves with the challenges of COVID19,Our focus must be getting through and but much more,getting out.The exemplary action of the 2 Nigerians in this report cuts to the heart of how the New Nigeria must be built. https://twitter.com/MobilePunch/status/1246321027958878208
1 Call To Service
Most Nigerians have an outsourced mentality where it is the responsibility of the others to solve the problem. Challenging times reveal the true state of our hearts to our Families & Nation at large.We are quick to revel in nostalgia of what & where Nigeria was
in the 60's&70's speaking of the Groundnut Pyramids,Rubber Plantations etc.The climate &land remain the same,it just the people that refuse to work the land.Malaysia now exports Groundnut Oil & Rubber products globally & we just want to Import.This can be applied in the Education
Health,Tourism and Manufacturing sectors. It is interesting to recall a Corn-beef factory in Kano.Uni College Ibadan now UI should be the No1 Uni in Africa with Students flocking from all over the world note it has a Noble laureate as an Alumni.The Patriots as I would address
them heeded the call to Service.The had never seen the said Ventilator but with Unusual Missionary Zeal the proceeded and today the testament is the Story making the news. Missionary Zeal is the opposite of the Esau spirit e.g. Do Giveway/Cyber Almajiri, Corruption&Criminality
2 The Skill We need.
Nigerians need to retool for the progression we require. Skills that Built Dubai were not Lawyers or Banker but Craftsmen of various types.Nigeria needs an urgent & forceful push to Tool Up our labour force.Our construction Ind is dependent on Skilled labour
The 6334 School system must be re-assessed with a view to growing the need manpower. We should also give dignity to labour not all can be Musician,Bankers or Politicians.The Limelight given to a small sector has caused a drift into unproductive degrees with reference needed here.
3 Believe again In Nigeria
We must commend the CMD of JUTH for BELEIVING in the Patriots.The colour of the Skin is a major factor in the access to capital,contracts and patronage.The enlightened self interest revealed in this pandemic has made it mandatory to Grow Nigeria

America the Power house is compelling industries to serve their interest only even if it means reneging on existing contracts. Nigeria Elite,soon your money will mean nothing either in Health,Education or Tourism.
A new day is born. We will have ourselves to blame if we do not profit from the Pandemic. I believe great opportunities abound but only the ones with focus,delayed gratification&Skilled labour will reap from this window. Nigeria Shall be Great but we all must make her Great.
