Poor morale of nigerian academics

[Augustine Togonu-Bickersteth]

Dampèned morale of nigerian academics: a clear and present danger. Our academics by the very training and pre occupation are supposed to amongst other things find solutions to problems confronting humanity We need the aademics otherwise we are left to doing what seems the bloody obvious thing to solve our problems like sticking feathers to our arms and assume we could fly that way or making cutlasses to every household and assume that is enough for food sufficiency. Let's get a little sophisticated in our thinking It seemed impossible to jump onto the moon until man learned to jump with his brain. Here in nigeria we seem to trying to get to the moon by standing on a pyramid of dollars. Bags of money ! Since the nigerian president bola tinubu was sworn in on the anniversary of the birth of USA president, John F Kennedy maybe he could take some cues from Kennedy who exemplified american exceptionalism.
