I laugh when Nigerians talk about Technology & Innovation as the solutions to our problems.
Don’t get me wrong, technology is important but more than anything else, we need to urgently fix Nigeria's education & create jobs for young people before this country implodes. #Thread.

During one of our recent trips on #VSFCovid19Intervention to Warri from Benin, something happened that brought my statement above into a better perspective.
We got stuck in a terrible traffic at Koko Junction just before Ologbo.

Stuck there in traffic, some Niger Delta boys ‘showed us pepper’.
They seized our food trucks, removed the batteries & demanded for N75,000 before we could move.
They boasted that even if the Governor calls them, our trucks won't move till we settle them. They weren't joking.

Anyway, based on logistics, we had to drop sha, so we can continue with our journey.
So, how can a Mobile App or Artificial Intelligence solve a knotty issue like this? Without education and massive job creation, we already sitting on a ticking time bomb.

We need to fix our education, else we can't hide from the consequences of a failed education system.
