Can Buhari's body odor language move Nigeria's innovation forward?

WHICH is the world’s most innovative country? Answering this question is the aim of the annual Global Innovation Index and a related report, which were published this morning by Cornell University, INSEAD, a business school, and the World Intellectual Property Organisation. The ranking of 140 countries and economies around the world, which are scored using 79 indicators, is not surprising: Switzerland, Britain, Sweden, the Netherlands and America lead the pack. But the authors also look at their data from other angles, for instance how countries do relative to their economic development and the quality of innovation (measured by indicators such as university rankings). In both cases the results are more remarkable. The chart above shows that in innovation many countries in Africa punch above their economic weight. And the chart below indicates that, even though China is now churning out a lot of patents, it is still way behind America and other rich countries when it comes to innovation quality

Despite our greater GDP, we are being worsted by many economically and demographically smaller African countries

Even ''ordinary'' Mali is doing better than Nigeria, the self-acclaimed giant of Africa

Innovation is based on research, which itself is conducted in Universities (in the main, of course). Unfortunately Nigerian universities are no more than glorified primary schools where little, if any meaningful, competitive research leading to commensurate innovation takes place.

Okay! I get it. Most of the innovative or potentially innovative Nigerians have all escaped abroad. The remaining folks in Nigeria are so dumb that they chose to elect an illiterate 75 years old man as their president. Education, research and innovation would now be even more dead than they have ever been. Shame!

that's is why we Biafrans want to go,we are tired of madness

We only need to compare innovation in Biafra's 3 years to Nigeria's at that same time.
