Zuckerberg started out as an ordinary man- he had shoes, clothes, properties, riches and wealth but those were not his true wealth- ideas were his main currency.
A young nan with ideas in Nigeria is as good as dead in a country where policy makers themselves, despite decades of speeches claiming the contrary, care very little for young people or any ideas that don't involve their own fortunes.
Soeaking of our members of state and federal assemblies who should be creating the laws which facilitate everything from business to our most basic comfort-reports about their huge salaries and entitlements have once surfaced again. If every one of them relinquished just 10% of their state sponsored income, Nigeria might afford to recruit graduates into the police system, more sophisticated duties than the very many unqualified individuals wielding guns.
Gradually, the later could be weeded out of the system. We can't afford to keep employing mediocre people, be it in public office or any related government service.
What' all happen to thoase who' all be rendered irrelevant by the changing times is the crux of our inability to reform. Politicians are afraid of ' new blood' because of its game- changing potential.
If from a rent - seeking society we progress to a productive society. Virtually half of our business and political elite would disappear. It is the very nature of the universe to have a season for everything; so Nigeria's Zuckerbergs, etc, will undoubtedly rise no matter what is done to stop them.
