#Nigeria:The negative commentaries relating to the rise in fuel price is finally confirming what I've always suspected about our COLLECTIVE INTELLIGENCE being very low.

No doubt we have individually brilliant people but their brilliance has been of no use to the country.
How do young people like and retweet a post in support of fuel subsidy removal 2 months ago and now that the subsidy has been removed with the corollary of upward price variation setting in,they are now supporting Sowore's revolution!😀
The same thing about our low collective intelligence is why our people steal government funds that should have been used to develop our society , stash it in cash and other assets in already developed western countries. We have a long way to go!
I am not sure of the future of Nigeria anymore because I have come to realise that majority of our people, even educated ones, are not really interested in good governance.

We are a people inflicted with the maladies of immediate gratification and short-termism.
It's becoming obvious based on recent political subterranean activities and moves that our dear country may be on its way back to the confused political formations of 1960 underpinned by primeval sentiments. This is another expression of our low collective intelligence.
This same tendency is responsible for our inability to learn from history : our economic history of fuel subsidy and the other lessons from our political history.
