THE CAPITALIST NIGER
It is time
for us to take back the torch, or at least start playing in the same field.
It is sad that a continent of over 750 million people (correction; 850 million in 2005) and a race of over 1
billion people, no Black has ever won the Nobel Prize for science. Of course, Blacks have won the Nobel
Prize for Peace and Literature. I am not arguing that winning the Nobel Prize is the yardstick for
intelligence. However, it is a reflection of how Blacks all over the world have been miseducated. We are
not educated in the areas which could help us solve the multitudes of crisis facing the Black race in this
new millennium. In fact, it is not that we are not educated, but it is that we avoid those educational
areas which we consider hard and pick the soft areas. Rather than hard core science, we choose social
science. But even with the droves of us going into social science, we don’t even know who we are,
where we come from and where we are going
