Albert Einstein’s Special Theory of Relativity proved that the properties of time and light can be reduced to a simple mathematical formula: E=mc², where energy (E) equals mass (m) times the speed of light (c) squared (2). The secret the formula revealed: that mass and energy are different forms of the same thing- had eluded scientists for centuries, much like how transformation has eluded Nigeria for decades.
Nigeria’s arrested development remains a great global paradox: how can a giant elephant deliver a kitten, and the wealthiest become the poorest? The country's numerous development plans, including the 1960s &1970s, Visions 2000, 2010 &2020 and the 2014 National Conference Report have all failed, they are a case of recurrent miscarriage. Worse still, the ‘Hope’ in President Tinubu’s Renewed Hope agenda- seems to have bolted- as major multinationals either close shop, exit, or scale down operations. Companies like P&G, GSK, Equinor, Sanofi, PZ Cussons, Microsoft, Unilever, NABISCO, Bolt Food, Jumia Food, and even the 'Seven Sisters' oil companies among others.
