why are we always blaming the govt when we are part of the govt, maybe we should spend more time on constructive meditation and planning accompanied by courage & determination in whatever we are doing b'cos most inventors failed many times be4 they finally succeeded but they were focussed and have confidence in themselves & what they are set to achieve. Naija people are gifted people. Abi how una see am ehhhhhhhh..................

inventions at the production level is expensive and is usually sponsored, obviously nobody is doing the sponsoring. The government but not only the government is responsible

It is true that the level of invention in Nigeria is poor but the scientists are all not to be blamed totally. Invention is the result of training, experinment, experience and desire to do it alternatively; all these, are not the exclusive preserve of scientists. Any one can invent but what has experience thaught us? It is that of being content with the situation. We are content with our electricity supply, petrol production, drug appreciation, housing condition and every aspects of our lives, so in which area do we need improvement? Unless and untill we wake up as a people not willing to be satisfied with our poor conditions, inventions will remain what we call it 'inventions'.

The blame is on the govt, because they don't want our Scientist to develop. There was a time some guys are up with some ideas, the next thing that occured was that they arrested them

Though we are not encourage and stuff, it does not mean that we should stop, like one of my song goes "never give up is the story". The problem is this passion for quick money which is greed, and if you want to do something new and make the mistake of telling friends just because they did not think of it first they would try to discourage you, maybe to do it them self and take the glory or just to feel better than you. this boils down to self vs willpower. If you have the willpower you can do it. but never give up.

This is where the private sector should come in because if we are waiting for the government to pour some money into inventive and scientific sectors, we would be waiting forever! If you have the means in this lifetime, pour some money into finding creative investors in Nigeria. Not only would you be creating jobs, reducing reliance on imported goods, and increasing exports, in time the dumb government will see the sense in it and come to you. The reason why America is such a great country is because people took initiative. They didn't wait for the government to start producing. People like you and I did that. People like you and I built cars or sponsored it; people like you and I invested in railway stations and made an obscene amount of money doing it too. Stop blaming the government (even if they are completely sh*tty), take action on your own and make sh*t happen!

I agree with you that the people should take action on their own... but i begin to believe that you are either not in Nigeria or if you are you have not tried to do anything and you are just blabbing. you mention America, even though the govt didnt start the inventing, they put in the necessary things i place for the people to take the initiative. why did the english man that concieved the idea of a computer not invent it? becos he lived before Faraday invented electricity.. i hope u get my point? It starts from the choosing of the political leaders. when illiterates rule, ofcos they wont see sense in science and technology. as long as they can steal enough money to import them.

Now, I know you are just setting out to insult anyone with a different opinion. The point of this forum is for people to state their opinions. I've stated mine, if you can't deal with it... well that's your problem love, not mine. First you equip yourself with a proper education find out how you can help your community, then you set about putting your plans in place. Study American history, and you'll notice that the government often followed the initiative of the people. What I said, if you paid any attention before reducing me to a babble, is that Nigerians ought to invest in each other. That's all people do in those western countries that we all admire. They find the smarts and aide them. That's all I said people back home should do as well if we want to be recognized as an inventive country as well. That's not blabbing... that's my solution to the problem presented. I hope you get my point.
