In a world where technological advancements decide the progress of nations, the decisions made by countries in their formative years play a significant role in shaping their futures. A recent observation by Reno Omokri brings to light a stark contrast between the paths chosen by India and Africa, particularly Nigeria, post-colonialism. CONTINUE READING
India, once a jewel in Britain’s colonial crown, chose to shed the British influence in terms of language and religion. They embraced technology, aiming for the stars, quite literally. As of today, India has its flag on the moon, a feat not many nations can boast of. On the other hand, Nigeria, rich in cultural and natural resources, embraced Britain’s language and religion but seemed to have missed the bus when it came to technology. The outcome? While India exports technology to the world, Nigeria finds itself in debt to countries like India.
The essence of Reno’s observation isn’t to undermine the importance of language or religion. English, as a language, has allowed many nations to break barriers and communicate universally. Religion, be it Christianity or Islam, has provided solace, direction, and community to millions. But the crux of the matter lies in the priorities set by nations. Nigeria might have bigger church auditoriums than any other nation, but does it have a military-industrial complex that matches its size and potential? The glaring imbalance is evident.
Furthermore, the educational structure in Nigeria raises eyebrows. In a world steered by science and technology, Nigeria still emphasizes English and religious knowledge over science. While having Bibles translated into every possible African language is commendable, the absence of science textbooks in these languages is alarming. This not only highlights the misplaced priorities but also underscores the need for a radical change in the educational system. ONTINUE READING
Many African nations have continued to focus on traditional courses, many of which, though rich in knowledge, do not align with the demands of the present world. The fascination with disciplines like sociology, anthropology, political science, and the likes, as pointed out by Reno, may be holding back the continent from true progress.
In conclusion, while it’s never too late to change the course, nations, especially in Africa, need to introspect on their choices. Embracing technology, giving importance to scientific education, and aligning with global demands could be the first step towards a brighter, more prosperous future. The world is progressing at a rapid pace, and it’s high time nations decide whether they want to lead the race or play catch-up.
Reno omokri in his word, he said:
“India rejected Britain’s religion and language but accepted their technology, and today, they landed on the moon. Africa and Nigeria gobbled up Britain’s religion and language and did not embrace their technology, and today, we have landed in debt to India. Our English may be better than India’s, but India’s condition is certainly better than ours.”
“It may be time for us in Africa, and especially Nigeria, to consider if having the largest church auditoria in the world has done us any good, especially when we do not have a military-industrial complex to boast about. And sadly, in Nigeria, English and either Christian Religious Knowledge or Islamic Religious Knowledge are often compulsory, but science is not.”
“We have Bibles translated into almost every language in Black Africa, yet, it is rare, very rare, to find a science textbook translated into any African language. And when I write against our fascination with obsolete courses like sociology, philosophy, anthropology, political science, library science and so on, Africans and Nigerians attack me. Now see!.”
