The first step to becoming a totally independent nation in terms of our need as a nation is for everyone to change our collective thinking. We need to upgrade our thinking, we need to stop seeing school as a medium for qualification towards job security. Instead, as a means of changing society. the nations of Europe, America and Asia did not arrive at the enviable state we all still dream of today by just being a nation of job seekers. No! they consciously took steps that led them to where they are today. The aim of this blog is therefore to change our perspective toward employment as well as give information that will enable us, as a nation to be numbered among the committee of industrialized nations of the world in no distant time. Another important fact is that, to get to that desired position among the committee of industrialize nation, it is a collective effort. It's time to stop giving excuses.
It is good that the clamour for Nigerians to return to agriculture from the Olusegun Obasanjo’s administration of 1976 has been sustained by successive government. However, the problem with most of the call to return to agriculture is that those clamouring for such end with the thought of exporting the agricultural produce, this I disagree with. The question is ‘who are the farmers?’ because most times we want everybody to go back to the farm and if I understand what we are saying we are simply encouraging subsistence farming which from age past have never reduce unemployment or increase government revenue. What types of agriculture should we then do?
