 I want to challenge  nigerians  at home  and diaspora  to take  a cue from bukina Faso  which has just raised  a 250 miliion  dollars  patriotic loan  from those  at home  and diaspora. 

 We are nigerians! We can do  10 billion dollars  patriotic  research grant for the men and women of june 16 2026. As featured  in  the Guardian newspaper nigeria .

Look we built  we built 3 miliion houses that are now unoccupied. Why.?  They are si expensive. Unaffordable rent.  Or just plain unoccupied and Unaffordable. 

 Now is the time ti shun shortermisn and devote our 22 billion dollars yearly to the men and women of june 16 2026 as captured in the guardian newspaper .nigeria

Research output is the hard currency of any country and so strengthens the value of the Nigeria and ushers in shared prosperity by Translating macro economic growth into micro economics dividends  for all.
