“Let us be honest with ourselves, road construction is not classified as one of the historic scientific discoveries of the modern era.”
The lack of respect by one race for another may not quite be about the colour of the skin, but the historic achievements that stand them out as superior to the other. Those who have sent men to the space can hardly be blamed for their contempt of those still battling with the most elementary aspects of societal development.
Road construction is at the elementary ladder of development, yet it is still that thing we have been grappling with in Nigeria. What we call roads in our society are in their most derelict state, sources of avoidable accidents and traps for insecurity of every description. Sadly, our politicians sought cheap popularity with it. They bought motorcycles for their supporters in creating an impression that they have created jobs or empowered their constituents. They also created an impression that their identification with that dangerous and crude mode of public transportation stand them out as sympathisers of the poor and down-trodden.
