if the piece had been written by ordinary Nigerian. But sir, your article above is an embarrassment and travesty to the body of universal knowledge and (scholars) intellectuals. Nigeria
at a time we needed his intellectual advice. While Nwolise intellectual contemporaries in global academia are researching into the cure of coronavirus and using AI to transform the world to amity, he ensconces himself in current African religious bondage to promote these gods of men in Nigeria. Wow! The retired professor’s interface between religion and knowledge acquisition doesn’t add up at all. The write-up is premised on religious bigotry and ethnocentrism—not born out of sincere patriotism.
It is a travesty of an idea to inquisitors and literate minds for the eminent professor to espouse religious dogmatism for the consumption of the reading public. We are in deep trouble in Nigeria for the cesspool of religious indoctrination and dogmatism. The Arab and western world that sold religious fundamentalism and prosperity gospel to Nigeria is moving at a great speed in Research and Development with cutting-edge industries; and Science and Technology. Take an excursion to Israel or UAE or Saudi Arabia to see the unprecedented structural and mental developments ongoing in these regions. These countries hardly dwell on religious idiosyncrasies. Religion, politics, and tribalism are mutually exclusive in advanced countries.
The most painful side of our collective problems is the involvement of some of our renowned professors, doctors and other literati that supposed to know better and educate us on how to promote our mores, values and cultural heritage. Africans are the problems of Africa. We are all in the quandary of religion and blasphemy of pure God. The psychology of our gullible people in Nigeria is their deadliest enemy. Rewire the already wired psychology, everything shall be added unto it.
The mixed blessing is that the after-effects of COVID-19 induced sufferings have changed our orientation towards ignorance and other mundane things. While it is easy to hide information from many Nigerians, in the form of writings, I would have loved the article had questioned the abracadabra or veracity of these miracle pastors and imams ossifying the brains of their followers.
