DO YOU KNOW? That, NO nigeria village is poor as the richest cities of the west yet. Yet, the poorest villagers of the West seem richer than Nigeriarich-city men. Since were so rich, where then did our poverty come from? Since the are so poor, where then did their wealth come from? Poverty is powered by shame, and wealth is powered by pride: weve been so ashamed of ourselves, that our treasures rot into garbage; but theyve been so proud of themselves that they recycle their garbage into treasures. Weve been so ashamed of ourselves that we endlessly wait to start in honOr but theyve been so proud of themselves that thy culturally start their dreams in shame. If not for shame; we would have packaged our Garri like Cornflakes and We would have packaged Ankara for wedding gowns. If not for shame; we would have packaged Thatch roof for city building and we would have packaged Naija for the whole world to celebrate. Oh! If not for shame; we would have conquered poverty...
