Nigerian "Idol" has come to an end and someone has won Millions for "Entertaining" both Live and On-Screen audience for some days.
Soon, Big Brother Africa will commence and the "Entertainment" with its attendant Millions continues.... There are also many other not
Quite popular Reality TV-Shows, all on "Entertainment". This has gradually become the only sector where Nigeria is at par with USA and
higher than many other "Developed" nations of the world.
I've been wondering why no one or company want to organise Nigerian "Idol" on Science and Technology. In a nation that imports Toothpicks,
Padlocks, Screwdriver , Kitchen Utensils, etc from other countries. A nation that has no functional Research Centers, Good Hospitals or equipped Institutions of Higher-Learning. A country that can not refine or add value to any of its God given resources including Human. I'm sure most of the contestants on this "Entertainment Idol" learned the trade from other bcountries but now "Nigerian Idol".
Can any History student tell me the age of development (Stone, Iron, etc) Nigeria is now. Or has it passed (jumped, should be more appropriate) all those stages of development and has caught up with USA on Entertainment Age? Our History books will tell us that all the developed nations when at this our stage of "Import Dependent", left everything and faced essentials. Entertainment should come after Hardwork but Nigeria in her ironical fame , has come to be known as a nation that put the Cart before the Horse. And she's still Achieving unmeasurable feats. Is that not a Miracle???
No wonder, the only two successful sectors in Nigeria are; Entertainment and Religion Industries.
