The Battle Of Dreams.part 41

The long journey into developmental jungles is not the same as the long journey to developmental urbanism or developmental urbanisation.The long journey into counter developmental trap or extreme jungles of underdevelopmental rusticities quite alarming I keep wondering like Sam Adeyemi who was very direct with dedicated essay I could not recall now.He wrote his optimism how Nigeria should have beautiful cities like the West.It will take eternities for Africans to have beautiful cities and unless something drastic is done the same spirit of the jungles persist.Although many reports were written about the growth of decaying slums in Lagos from ojora badiya,Maroko and many of the 42 cities slated for demolition in the 80s and 90s.I haven't seen any of such articles ever since.It shows where they are no great dreamers beyond Sam Adeyemi whose concept dies the moment his pen retires from the inscription and was bundled out of nigeria into america during the unsucessful incursion of  endsars revolt.This is quite tragic .I don't want to see dirty cities in my vicinities and sometimes not sometimes but often appalling mess to witness.The incessant carnage in the Nigerian roads and not just the recklessness of the drivers but the authorities which consistent fail lack lustre nigerians the home of poor dreamers fail woefully to give nigerians a world class road network with twenty lanes on both sides and ten lanes for railways and wireless cable cars if possible and constructed with robots in 6months and not eight years unlike the Lagos to Calabar stupid eight years constructed with robots with no expenses incurred beyond robotic deployment.Unfortunately when wole Soyinka the greatest black man of all time who was labeled a bad politician by Obasanjo was tired of seeing dead bodies on the road,he flared into anger and set up road safety mechanism that later led to federal road safety union he was accused of stealing half a billion naira or billions in some cases,ended up not only resigned to his fate of broken dreams that Kemi Badenoch once refered to but perhaps quashed the spirit of taking the presidency during abdulsalam Abubakar era when the same military president wooed Soyinka to become president which he refused cited reason that he didnt want to be regimented according to his personal assistant for a decade Tunde Awosanmi a doctorate lecturer at the university of ibadan. This was how the golden dream of producing perhaps the greatest black president of all time and peradventure too world greatest president ever never materialised in our lifetime and it will never happen again.Kemi was right this nation specialuses in dream destruction.Little wonder, poor dreamers exist in Africa where development hardly exist but only jungles are advanced in perpetual organisation of chronic underdevelopment and structural counter development.

In this jungle we define counter development the return of medieval mechanism back to stone age era and chronic underdevelopment structural aggravation of medieval mechanism both currently happening in Africa especially Nigeria that is some five hundred to a thousand years backward since 1300-1600 age of the Renaissance period.It shows that it will take Africans same period to catch up with the west should we still motivated to follow their textbook economics devised for their own use and suitable to their climes.To close this gap we badly needed wonderful dreamers whose ideology as icons or luminaries could break the roof and brings out the unprecedented and beat the benchmark we set on WOICO otherwise the ideology at WOICO a subsidiary corporate project at Middlesex Cosmos could last for a long time the aims and goals are achieved.Nothing happens by itself without a moving force.
