If Africa must be a developed continent then Africans need to grow up . This growth is about maturity. Growth is not about covering our naked bodies with expensive and fanciful wears, it is not about driving expensive cars that are built to manage Nigerian roads, it is not about being able to afford medical treatment abroad, it is not about getting education in a foreign land developed by human beings like us; growth is about the quality of knowledge that we have acquired and able to apply for our own good, it is about our ability to reason and bring about mental revolution. The revolution that will tell us that when we build our roads well, we will spend less in transportation. It will teach us that when we equip our hospitals, we don't need to waste our money going for medical treatment abroad. It will teach us that when we invest in education and employ the right teachers, our certificate will be valued anywhere in the world and we don't need to spend too much money schooling abroad. This mental revolution will only be achieved when we read with understanding and task our brain to reason.
