How Intelligence Kills: Our Dangerous Addiction To Intelligence, Religion and White People is a collection of essays and sketches ... written while I was in Nigeria between 2011 and 2013. The book is a product of the cultural clashes that occurred between the Nigerian world I grew up in and the American world I lived in for 10 years. On returning home, my eyes were open to a lot of things that made sense growing up but no longer do now. From our educational system to our religious system, things had changed. Tell me what you think and if you want longer excerpts.

Excerpts

On Gay Marriage "I confess that I don’t see the big hoopla around gay marriage. I mean I could care less what two consenting men do behind closed doors. Except if the men happen to be politicians deciding how to steal "our"…I take that back…Niger Deltan's oil money. I confess that I am less worried about two men screwing each other and more worried about a politician screwing an entire nation…over and over again!" http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1296689049/how-intelligence-kills-the-inappropriate-truth

On Religion “Three years later, I found myself several thousand miles from secondary school at a church in Houston, Texas, but this time nobody was speaking in tongues or binding out demons. Instead they talked to God in gentle whispers, completely the opposite to the yelling and shouting I was used to back at home. Also, church actually started and finished on time; and on Sunday you could actually go an entire day without some random person asking you the guilt-seeking have-you-gone-to-church question. And my scary dreams? Well, they suddenly disappeared. It was as if the Devil and his whole crew of demons were denied visas at the American Embassy. And I can totally relate to that…” http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1296689049/how-intelligence-kills-the-inappropriate-truth

On Education "The fact is that our road networks, like our educational systems are built on a system of memorization; you either know the directions or you don’t. There is no logic to navigating the roads…if you get lost…ask for directions or ask jeeves I mean Jesus. But in the western world, if you ask for directions, you are told to head north or south and then to take exit number X or Y. Even the exits are numbered according to the number of miles between exits. It is a very logical system...their roads were probably planned by people who sucked at memorizing." http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1296689049/how-intelligence-kills-the-inappropriate-truth

NOTE: I confess that this book will be one of the most candid and honest books you would have read in a long time. I advise that if you are not ready to get your head smacked with the book, you should drop it, ‘cause it would change your perceptions about a lot of things. But then again, I confess that this book will make you laugh, so you should not really drop it... http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1296689049/how-intelligence-kills-the-inappropriate-truth
