Oga you try.Just like you I come from Nigeria. Every now and then we hear about a single Nigerian that has performed marvellously abroad.
Sir, you must understand that you are a tree a massive Iroko tree.
You have limitations howeverthough, a tree cannot not make a forest.
The African technological awakening you talk so glowingly about can only be attained if you replicate yourself in us (Young Nigerians).You will have to find a way to do this sir.
Remember Sir, before you were Achebe and Soyinka. Today nobody has taken their place. They might soon leave the scene.
That is the legacy you must leave for us, use that marvellous brain to fashion out ways for encouraging young Nigerians to dominate their enviroment.
We do not yet have need of the Connection machine, but we have need of a legacy from you.
