There was a time Nigeria talked about satellites, space missions, science, engineering and the future.
Today, our headlines are dominated by kidnappings, corruption, political drama and survival.
That shift should worry us.
A nation becomes whatever occupies the minds of its young people.
When children grow up hearing about scientists, inventors and astronauts, they dream of building.
When they grow up hearing only about violence, fraud and politics, many begin to believe those are the only paths to relevance.
The tragedy is that we have stopped inspiring our children to even look up.
The future belongs to nations that fill young minds with impossible dreams and then give them the tools to pursue them.
We cannot build a great country if our children are surrounded only by stories of failure.
Things have to change!
