Tim: Hi, Professor Albert Einstein. My name is Tim A., I am a youth empowerment enthusiast, Pan-Africanist, Technopreneur, and an African thought leader. I disagree with your categorization of Nigerian elites as “UDJ”. With hundreds of billionaires, politicians, business owners, and religious leaders flying private jets and leading a platinum lifestyle in Nigeria, your assertion seems mean. Vice President Kashim Shettima recently gave us “good news” while responding to Kemi Badenoch, leader of the UK Conservative Party, stating that one in every three or four Black persons on earth is a Nigerian. The VP said by 2050, Nigeria is projected to become the third most populous country on earth, overtaking America in population. Nigeria is a Superpower in waiting, I think!

Albert Einstein: Nice meeting you, Tim, even if virtually.First, don’t call me Professor; I am simply Albert Einstein. The penchant for titles is a Nigerian disease that has evolved from an epidemic to a pandemic. Your people crave titles the way your women crave hair, nails, and eyelid attachments. For your information, anyone who cannot find fulfilment or recognition by their first two names is either a failure, or a victim, of what I call Legacy Inferiority Complex (LIC). All the great innovations your 230 million people depend upon daily come from leaders without titles: Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, Elon Musk, Larry Page of Google, Michael Dell and Jack Ma of Alibaba among others. Yes, I deliberately used strong words to describe your elites because they have failed woefully in discharging their historic responsibilities. This failure has turned your country into a global laughingstock, where life is short, brutish and nasty.

Your Elites are unwise, otherwise they would have known that in Nature, nothing can be given, all things are sold. Their physical health, personal safety or happiness is directly proportional to the health and safety and happiness of the average man on the street. They should ask their counterparts in Europe why they are constantly pushing their respective nations towards equilibrium. Wise elites will dread more personal prosperity which only loads them with more. Benefit is the end of nature.

But for every benefit that does not translate to abundance for the greatest number, a tax is levied, which MUST be fully liquidated during their lifetime, or their descendants will become debtors to Nature. In Nature, there is no debt cancellation, no tax evasion, no tax reforms Bill, because there is no National Assembly: every unjust accumulation of prosperity and power and benefits are avenged in equal measure. Before I forget, tell your Vice President to stop bragging about the size of your population. By 2040, artificial intelligence (AI) will handle 85% of what human beings currently do, rendering population size irrelevant. As Yuval Noah Harari warned, most of that population will become part of the Global useless population, unless you reverse the rot in your country, and quickly, too. In the AI age, Productivity, and not population, determines who wins.

Tim: Okay, Mr. Albert Einstein, given your monumental intellectual magnitude as a science expounder, permit me to “attach” something to your name; perhaps “Ogbeni AE,” “Mallam AE,” or even “Chief Servant AE.” You are extraordinary, and my culture frowns upon addressing elders by their names alone. Now, tell me, where do you think the fault lies? Is the fault in us, our stars, and our geography, or is there a “supernatural embargo” preventing Nigeria from rising?

Mallam AE: Of course, the fault is in you- both the leaders and the citizens. You have eyes but cannot see, brains but cannot think your way out of the hole in which you remain enmeshed. You have hands yet cannot produce even the simplest things like pencils, toothpicks or matches. Even teddies for black babies, and Christmas trees are produced by the Chinese who are not Christians! You have everything you need to create the abundance that could make Nigeria the America of the Black race or the China of the African continent. Yet, you choose to remain a Lilliputian!

Tim: Mallam AE, how then do we achieve EC³? Nigerians have been waiting, fasting, and praying for a Messiah, the chosen one who will transform the country.

Ogbeni AE: No one leader can single-handedly turn around a country without EC³. You’ve had strong men like Awolowo, Aminu Kano, Gani Fawehinmi, Tunde Idiagbon, and OBJ. Why did they fail in their quest for power or their attempts to transform Nigeria with the power given to them? Take, for instance, President Obasanjo. He believed the NNPC refineries would function better in the hands of private investors. Yet, two weeks after leaving office, the sales of the refineries were cancelled by the Yar’Adua government, and since then, billions of dollars have been wasted on fruitless Turnaround Maintenance (TAM). Similarly, President Obasanjo upheld the sacrosanctity of the country’s secular constitution. Yet, under the 4-Stars General’s watch, the country’s secularity was compromised by an ordinary mallam, and heaven didn’t fall! Obasanjo also prioritized massive savings for rainy days and exiting the Paris debt trap. However, two years after he left power, the elites that took over from him engineered ‘’cloud seeding to artificially cause rain’’, therefore, the funds he saved were looted, and Nigeria fell into an even bigger debt trap, now nearing ₦130 trillion! I repeat: your elites are UDJ!The only instance where EC³ seems to work in Nigeria is during Item 7! The elites, allegedly led by Abacha, Diezani, Yahaya Bello, and Betty Edu unite during a treasury-looting congregation. According to EFCC, all differences disappear, no political parties, no religion, no region. There is perfect unanimity, with everyone singing from the same song sheet- the men harmonize in bass vocals, the women in soprano, while the boys and girls sing in alto.

Tim: Chief Servant Albert Einstein, can you further elucidate the role of leadership in your formula: T = EC³ + (D – C²) × i?

Ogbeni AE: Tim. Please, I vehemently reject your title of “Chief Servant”. That is yet another ludicrous, Luciferian title used by some of your thieving politicians. Were you not in Nigeria when the National Assembly approved SUVs and bogus allowances for themselves contrary to your constitution, which prohibits public officers from fixing their remuneration? Did you see any “Obidient” or “Atikulate” arguing against such an anomaly?For transformation to happen, a country needs the first core three burden bearers, i.e. Washington, Jefferson, and Adams, in the case of America. Then it requires the strong 12 Change Evangelists, then the inner 50 strategists and, finally, 1,000 committed elites, i.e. the enforcers who are all united and ready to pay the ultimate price for their actions, if need be. That was what happened in Singapore, Israel, America, and China. It wasn’t just Lee Kuan Yew, David Ben-Gurion, George Washington, or Deng Xiaoping who transformed their respective countries. It was a section of their elites coming together to declare; This far, no further. We must do whatever it takes to remove the oppressor’s knee from our neck so we can breathe. The tragedy of the Nigeria situation is that the elite’s consensus for transformation is completely impossible because you sold yourself a fat lie when you tell one another: one nation, one people, one destiny. You are many nations, different people, many destinies, like the UK!

Tim: Are you saying one strong man in Aso Rock can’t transform Nigeria under the proposed mega party?

Mallam AE: Nigeria is like a Polygamous home where every child clings to their mother’s arm for emotional and psychological gratification. Consequently, building EC3 along the maternal line (nation-states within Nigeria) is your only veritable pathway to arrive at your respective ‘promised land’. President Buhari, after ruling Nigeria for over nine years, was honest enough to publicly declare that ‘’if Nigeria (his country) becomes too hot, I will join ‘’my people’’ (Fulani nation-state) in Niger Republic.More importantly, however, every successful movement in history was built on ideology, not personality. In one of my books, I had your country in mind when I wrote, “The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result.”.

I believe it is high time your country stopped indulging in wishful thinking. The way your country is currently structured, no national transformative leadership can emerge relying on the existing superstructure. Therefore, EC³ is impossible, and without EC³ + (D – C²) × i, transformation will remain elusive.What brough ruins to ‘eternal’ Roman empire in 476 AD? The different nationalities that made up the Roman Empire kept struggling for the steering of the Empire’s Limo with one another like crabs in a water jar, pulling themselves down to the basement, full of negative energy.

This is exactly how the Hausa, Igbo, Yoruba, Bini, Fulani, Ijaw, and others have been behaving for the past 64 years. It was after Portugal, France, Britain, Spain etc achieved self-governance that they could focus on building their respective civilization, became stronger, more innovative and more productive and more prosperous. … Click here to continue
