Last night I watched a documentary about the US Moon missions.
Thousands of engineers, scientists, mathematicians and entire universities working on one impossible goal of putting humans on the Moon.
The level of ambition was almost frightening.
Then I opened Nigerian news this morning.
And it was the same depressing circus:
Politicians defecting again.
ADC de-recognized.
Jos massacre.
Another ethnic argument on TV.
Every day is just noise.
220 million people… and our biggest national obsession is still politics and tribe.
No moonshot.
No grand scientific challenge.
No national engineering ambition.
Just endless distraction.
Did Nigerians themselves lose the hunger for greatness?
Because great nations argue about how to build the future.
We argue about who insulted who yesterday.
And that difference is why some countries are planning missions to the Moon…
while others are still trapped in yesterday’s arguments.
