AN EDO-BORN PSYCHOLOGY AND ECONOMICS STUDENT INVENTS ELECTRICITY GENERATING FOOTBALL. Pragmatism, a philosophical system that holds that making a clean break from conventionalism and traditions is what we need in NIgeria if we are to break the jinx that have manacled us in every facet of our national life.Toeing the path that works rather than the herd mentality is what we need if we are to make any headway as a people.In Nigeria the science-Art dichotomy in our secondary schools and higher institutions has robbed us of many innovative strides and heights we would have attained as a nation.JESSICA MATTHEW,AN HAVARD trained psychology and Economics student has made nonsense of Nigerian trained scientist and Engineers.With NO PhD dissertations or professorial title in physics or electrical/electronics Engineering,Jessica matthew has been able to come up with an invention that has put paid to the primitive and pedestrian mentality common among Nigerian students that we are only suppossed to be cocooned in our respective disciplines.Come out from your straight jackets and iron masks,learn to think out of the box,do those things that intellectual lilliputians considers as crazy and you and our coutry will be better off.Good morning and a happy sunday to all.
