More than anything, this proves to me that Paul Graham's subconscious is still trying to recover from being wrong.
So as often as possible, he's trying to convince himself Nigerians were wrong instead by misrepresenting our case.

My dad was like, meh.

This was a problem 10 years ago. And it seems obvious the school management has done little to fix this problem.

He said someone used delve in a well thought out email to him and he thought it was AI that was used to construct and Nigerians told him it wasn't to us and other British colonies.

The only thing Nigeria can export in any meaningful quantity is talent/services. We're not self sufficient at anything else so we need it for home consumption.
Our talent and service offerings are also largely underdeveloped.

More importantly we need to be honest about what needs decentralisation and what doesn't.
Decentralisation is not inherently better than centralisation.
It all depends on our goals. Decentralisation for the sake of it cannot be the goal.

The gag is that the cars that get compressed more are the safest to be in. Because this scenario where you're back up against a wall and a truck rams into you is the most unlikely scenario.
The more likely one is ramming into something else.

I think it's all about leverage. When you have leverage you use it. The young Nigerians leaving don't think they have the leverage they need here. That's their perspective.
People in top families coming back is just them recognizing the leverage they have and capitalizing.

Alcohol gets to me because it's the 3rd leading cause of preventable deaths in the US.
About a 3rd of road accident deaths in the US are alchohol related.
So yes, even people not drinking die randomly because of alcohol.

After failing technical drawing twice in university, it was on the way to a remedial exam, while waiting for a bus that someone while explaining it to another person, corrected a mental handicap I had had for 2 YEARS.
I passed an exam I was sure I was going to fail.

Not even the government. But the society as a whole.
Social contracts are the way to progress. Without them, we don't make societal change.
I don’t know when people will understand that an individual, no matter how rich, can never bring systemic change to a society. That’s the government’s job

The Christian mode for giving (The Book of Acts) is too radical for most people. That's why it goes largely ignored.
All my life I've never attended a church sermon where a pastor preached about it. I think it's because their own lifestyles would also be affected.

Sex is not the bedrock. Intimacy is. Sex is a very vulnerable and intimate act used to foster intimacy.
You gain pleasure from being intimate even in other ways, doesn't mean you go around being intimate with everyone you meet.

"We obsess over outcomes and not the process to get us there"
This thread talks about this, for education and it's so true.
But I see this first hand in our business culture all the time. It's why we don't build as many big businesses too!
I finally remembered what I forgot yesterday on my walk and listening to the same podcast episode. There is a reason our progress is delayed in Africa. We obsess over outcomes and not the process that gets us there. This is known and easy to say, but why? Incentives. I'll explain

Atiku refusing to attend the debate is a negative for him and only him. Because Buhari supporters don't care about whether he's a good candidate or not.
But this move will turn off many prospective Atiku supporters; the ones who can help push him over the line.
