You've said it all @masterwriter. Africans have covered different aspects of technology. But yet we need better governance. There are countless talented minds on the street. No one to help them. Had it been we have a good governance like the whites, it'd have been a different but better story entirely.

We have men that have built several tech devices and gadgets. We have great programmers that have written several codes and software that can better the life of human race as well. And our children have been among the smartests and brightests in foreign schools.

May God touch the minds of our leaders and business men because we do not only lack good government but we are also blessed with business men who only put their cash in what will benefit them monetarily or bring fame. The business enterprises in our communities prefer to sponsor pointless initiatives instead of helping the students who are the very future of tomorrow. Cowbell remains the only big enterprise that impresses the students with their famous COWBELL MATHEMATICS COMPETITION. Others open their wallets to sponsor Big Brother, Dance stages, Project fame, etc. while serious students receive no help.

The brainiacs are suffering with no sponsorship nor true helping hand to boost them. Africa is in total chaos. And I doubt the nature is ready to bring us out of this.

We are in technology age. Let small children learn programming right from basic schools as they have better brain then. A ten years old child should be able to design a responsive website. What's there? HTLM + Javascript + PHP knowledge is all you need to do that. Impress the brilliant students with sponsorships and motivate the ones that aren't that smart. We do not need to rely on foreign lands to get our gadget and other devices. An engineering graduate should be able to build at least a radio tape. Even our local airports are being run by the whites. Foreign pilots.

In short, I'm beginning to get furious. Let's stop deceiving ourselves because in reality, we have lots of ground to cover.

Thanks for this peice bro. It's a great post and I learnt some things from it.
