We Are Not Serious Yet by Ononachi(m): 8:30pm On Apr 13, 2016
We are not serious yet.We talk about diversifying the economy, but fixated on investing heavily in agriculture.No one is talking about investing heavily in technology. No one is talking about investing heavily in medicine. No one is talking about investing heavily in education and research etc. How can we be counted a serious and competitive nation when we can't produce world class engineers and scientists in our universities? Will it be a taboo for us to manufacture airplanes, ships and submarines before 2025? Will it be a bad thing for us to manufacture smart phones and fifth generation computers before 2020? Will it amount to terrorism if we manufacture our own war jets, tanks, warships, fifth generation warplanes, drones and nuclear weapons before 2025? Will it be a bad thing for us to invent something that has never existed? I mean, what plans are we making to achieve all these in thenearest future? What investment plans do we have in place for all these...? What are we even doing about power generation that has gone from worseto worst?Well, I guess we do not deem investing heavily in all these sectors as diversifying or boosting the economy.Honestly, we are not serious yet! If we continue this way, I am afraid we willstill be talking about oil, agriculture and 5,000 mega watt power generation in 2030. We are far far far far far behind and have no plan to catch up soon
