It is tragic that Nigeria is backward as a country. No steady electricity for the majority is a sign of backwardness. But it is more tragic that we don't realize that the thoughts, the beliefs, that produced that backwardness reside inside our heads. And we continue to tenaciously hang on to them. We continue to cherish them. And the majority continues to live unfulfilling live, while the minority continues to splurge with wealth obtained by unmerited favor. It is well. Isn't it?
