In search of answers to the perennial question of jobs in the society, our ancestors appear smarter than our leaders! Our current leaders boast endlessly about what my ex-BPE colleague, Sa'ad Jijji, called "Nigeria's jobless growth! - high GDP growth figures without jobs"! Our ancestors and the latter-day colonisers focused on developing our resource endowments - agriculture, mining and industry using indigenous labour and technologies, even if on modest scale and scope.
