Nigeria’s problem scales beyond corruption, economic crisis, unemployment, tribalism, amongst many others. These afore-mentioned problems are effects of one singular cause: Ignorance.

Ignorance is the reason we condemn without second thoughts. Ignorance is the reason we blame the government for the wrongdoing in our country. Ignorance is the reason for our disbelief in the our black skin. This ignorance deters growth and development of the economy.

Because of ignorance, we compare Nigeria’s 170 million people and the oil money to share with the United Arab Emirates’ 9 million people, and we say that Nigeria’s oil should feed Nigerians the way UAE’s oil feeds the Arabs. There are too many mouths in Nigeria for a natural resource like oil to feed.

The only way out of ignorance is the knowledge of technological advancement through industrial revolution.

Every developed country has scaled the technological hurdle. Countries that are developed today, like the United States and the United Kingdom, have passed through their industrial revolution.

Britain’s industrial revolution began in the late 1700s. By 1800, Britain was a major exporter of goods and services. USA’s industrial revolution began in the early 1800s. By World War 1 (early 1900s), the USA mobilized and prepared for war in a single year.

In the last decade, devices and phones have been synonymous with China. China’s technological advancement began in 1980. By 2002, China was producing more Ph.D. graduates than the entire UK combined. In 1981, 63% of China’s population lived under the poverty line. By 2004, this rate reduced to 10%. This means that in 23 years, 500 million people climbed out of poverty.

The economies of these developed countries are much higher than ours because they have scaled the technological hurdle.
Nigeria’s way forward out of this abject penury is technological advancement through industrial revolution. If Nigeria begins production with Nigerian factories and industries made by Nigerians for Nigeria, we will rise out of our economic crisis; we will rise out of unemployment; we will rise out of illiteracy.

If Nigerians mass produce goods and services that Nigerians need we would import less than half of what we import now. Goods and services will be cheaper for Nigerians because there are no shipping costs, and there is reduced buying of foreign currencies. The Naira will begin to appreciate. Nigerians will begin to sell goods and services on the global market with the Naira and the value of the Naira will therefore increase.

If Nigerians start building factories and industries with Nigerians, for Nigerians, there will suddenly be jobs to fill. When these industries and factories are built and commence work, there will be job positions to fill. When these products are made cheaply and commercialised easily, more Nigerians have jobs and can therefore afford these products.

If Nigerians start building industries and factories with Nigerians, for Nigerians, Nigerian children will grow up around products created by Nigerians. This will lead to creativity in these children. This will lead to a willingness to learn in these children. They will grow up fascinated by the technology around them, and system would be forced to sit up to cater to the minds of these children.

The future of a better Nigeria lies in technological advancement. If 500 million people can walk out of poverty in less than 25 years, why can’t Nigeria’s entire population (which is twice as less) come out of poverty.

Let individuals and government create and begin industries in our country that make products we need. Bringing in industries that are set up in other countries does not benefit us as much as we think it does. We need our industries. We need our factories. We need our economy to rise. We need to realise where the bar is, and we need to reach it, and raise it.

Sweetiepie, it's too long...

only the SE can technologically drive this contraption but like you all know, we want out already!
leaving the mofos who no sabi national anthem and their brothers who are media propaganda experts to do their best while our own brothers in the SS bring the economy to zero.
technology in nigeria will remain a dream because igbo people wont do zero for the zoo.
soon i will be in china and all my plans are IGBOCENTRIC in nature!
make SW and NE NW NC go learn national anthem and objective journalism first before we talk about tech.
ndi iberibe!!!!!
soon it will be IGBO MADE! in the markets
boys are working hard to make things work!

Technological revolution through prioritizing technological education and not industrialisation.

What I mean is that, our people should first be given technological knowledge which will enable them to start up indigenous small scale industries. The most successful ones can then receive private and public investments to grow further in order to create more jobs and wealth.

STEPS TO TAKE.

1) Place Technologists on equal footing with Scientists and Engineers. Therefore award BTech in our Polytechnics which should then be a 5year course
2) Polytechnics curriculum and teaching pattern should be changed from Engineering format to Technological format.
3) The Technological format should focus on
a= How existing technologies are produced and how they work in each field of study.
b= What to consider or watch out for in order to make new Engineering Designs Practicable if necessary with the knowledge of existing technologies and changes to original designs when the impracticability of the design becomes clear in the course of bringing that design into reality.

PLS NOTE : It is one thing to design and another thing for that design to be practicable (work in reality). For this reason, final product might be different from the original Engineering Design.


4) Polytechnics should be stopped from using the terms Engineering because there are Technological oriented. Example

Mechanical Technology, Chemical Technology, Electrical/Electronic Technology, Civil Technology, Agricultural Technology, Computer Technology, Environmental Technology, etc are terms they should be forced to use.

Therefore a graduate of YabaTech should not say he is a Mechanical Engineer but rather he should say he is Mechanical Technologist.

With the knowledge of how existing technologies are produced and how they work, the graduates of polytechnics will be able to reproduced existing technologies and sell. The most successful ones can then receive private and public investments to grow to an international technological businesses.

This will lead to proliferation of indigenous industries which in turn will create more jobs and wealth.

Bro there is a standard in engineering practice and it can never change and for ur u information B.Tech is only awarded by a university of technology not a polytechnic, if a polytechnic wants to award B.Tech it has to be upgraded and we need more polytechnics than universities even
Theses is a world standard and Nigeria won't be different
People who designed the coreculum are no fools and they knew what they were doing...
Engineering requires the highest IQ more than any other profession,

The truth is engineer is far more important than a technician or Technologist and that's y an engineer can be employed as a Technologist or technician but the revers will never be the case... Never!!!

It's like the house of representatives wanting to be equal with Senate... Am tired of explaining this

First of all I think what we need is vocational training centres across each local government in the country, we're we teach people skills for 2 years and not just teaching skills but also teach them how to use the skills to make money...
Second is to link the research centers to the private sector, the connection between the two is weak and need to be improved... We have designed that would sale in this world lying as prototype.. A professor in unn discovered how to make solar panels form. The regular touch and die plants... And this would slash the cost of solar panels by over 80% if perfected.... And there are more like this..
. Our banks need to do more Instead of given people billions to build cenimas, u can buy an idea and develop it ans make good profit from it...

If done properly like you stated,the bank of industry will be much more useful in developing our indigenous industries in an exponential sequence, thus economic growth sets in.
