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& #39;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& #39;t move till we settle them. They weren& #39;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& #39;t hide from the consequences of a failed education system.
