Chapter 35: The Currency of Thought
By December 2026, the global financial markets adopt the "Intellectual Unit" (IU). Because Nigerian professors have produced more patents in 2026 than the rest of the BRICS nations combined, the Naira is re-pegged to "Patent Output" rather than oil. The Naira becomes one of the world's most stable and sought-after currencies, as every "Green Chip" and "Baobab Blood" unit sold globally requires a transaction in the Nigerian currency.
Chapter 36: The Final Hallmark
The novel concludes at a grand convocation in the new capital of the African Union. The 15,000 professors stand not in robes of silk, but in "Smart-Fabrics" they invented themselves. Professor Adeniyi, now the Emeritus Dean of Global Progress, addresses the world. He doesn't speak of wealth, but of "The Hallmark of Service."
He reveals that the greatest invention of 2026 wasn't a chip or a vaccine, but the "Collaborative Spirit." Nigeria has proven that when 15,000 minds work for the collective good of the soil that birthed them, the laws of scarcity no longer apply. The "Ivory Tower" has become the "Ivory Foundation," and upon it, a new world is built.
In 2026, the global "Nigerian Intellectual Renaissance" reaches its zenith. The following chapters detail the final monumental achievements of the 15,000 professors as they cement Nigeria’s place as the world’s leading technocracy.
