Forgive me if I say this but I will always remember Ghana whenever I think of Nigeria. Though I was small then, but its still vivid in my mind how the Ghanaians wandered about every nook and cranny of Nigeria; they did all our odd jobs; sewing and knitting, photography, shoe repairs, hair-dressing etc. then came the watershed in the history of Ghana that called back all in diasporas.
Years back, we were ahead of Ghana in almost everything, today we are trying to find our feet and worst of all, we now go to study in Ghana; soon our naira will be nothing compared with cedis. If we run away from our responsibility, it will be there waiting for us and it wont be wise to relegate it to our children at least for the sake of posterity.
In this quest to build Nigeria, lets introduce “do it yourself “(a program that will inculcate craftsmanship) to our primary, secondary, and tertiary institutions. It will not only promote Nigerian educational standard, but will help our economy by reducing unemployment. Give a hungry man a fish, he will come back for more but teach him fishing and you’ve made him a fortune.
