Time Validates

Hey there. Let's set the alarm for a productive day ahead. Before diving in, let's acknowledge the date, which might vary depending on where you're tuning in from. Now, let's get to it. But first, a word on the political and economic landscape here in Nigeria. It's crucial to recognize that the political elite often prioritizes their own interests over those of the people. Trusting them blindly is akin to living in a cycle of déjà vu, where they justify their actions while contradicting the interests of the people.

He couldn't understand why I would do that, (if you have ever gained any insight at all from me, part of the persons you should applaud is my brother. He introduced me to books outside academics and played the father figure in my life). Back to the story, he couldn't comprehend why I would suddenly stop reading even though I at that time didn't fully understand also. But part of the things knowledge gathering had thought me is to pay attention to my instinct. And at that time somehow the burning question of whether it should be more than just gathering knowledge was prominent in my thought, I knew there has to be more than that.  For instance, a professor is called a professor because he has started creating proving theories. Well, maybe not in Nigeria and Africa almost everything we do in...
