The subject of this article was imposed on me by TASCK Creative Company Limited, who were the organisers of the Ignite Conference 2021, which took place in Lagos State on November 17, 2021.
I am an economist and an investment banker by training and an entrepreneur by choice and so I understand that it is impossible to separate economics from politics. Indeed, in most countries where the economy is underperforming substantially , nothing might change significantly for as long as politics continues to be allowed to trump economics. To move the needle significantly in Nigeria, you need more knowledgeable leaders as well as a more discerning electorate.
Nobody is going to come from Mars, Jupiter, Australia, the UK, the USA or France to improve Nigeria. That said, I sympathise with our citizens who are seeking greener pastures in Canada and a few other rich countries that will take in a smattering of Nigerians on selective criteria; usually to accelerate the brain drain from Nigeria. The fact however is that, with a population of 200 million , Nigerians are far too many to be absorbed by the rest of the world.
All over the country, it has almost become fashionable for the educated young voter to brag that he or she has no intention of registering to vote or voting or both. This was my definition of rock bottom at the Ignite Conference.
