Social Research Is Pleasurable…

However tasking and draining it may appear, it leaves you better than you were, with fresh insights to pride about this reality called “Society”.

As the Team Lead in an ongoing Assessment Study in Anambra State, I led a team of young multidisciplinary Researchers to some parts of the State, where people live on the brinks.

I encountered young smarties, whose lives seek nothing short of opportunity. An opportunity to unpark loads of natural talents, one that you can comfortably describe as “follow come”, as nothing around them is supportive of the quality of genius they exhibit. While at this, I shared some transient thoughts with Izuchukwu on how best to fix the fate of our rural brethren.

This is where the EFCC, I think, must show responsibility. The proceeds of Internet fraud, when retrieved, should be deliberately channeled to rural education in the community of the thieving cyber criminal, who MUST be ushered into an accessible data base of “Hall of Shame”.

This is where the real “Doings” should be showcased.
