Food critic Opeyemi Famakin has said one thing that genuinely worries him is the thought of raising his future children in Nigeria.
According to him, he has no desire to leave the country because he still wants to be part of Nigeria’s growth. Even so, he believes the kind of thinking he sees around him makes him question whether he wants his children to grow up in that environment.
In his words:
“In real life, Nigerians, the way Nigerians are dull, it scares me for my children, because I don’t want to japa. I want to build Nigeria. But my kids, my kids cannot grow up with these dullards. My kids cannot, and they are loud about it.”
Famakin also shared his thoughts on how he sees Nigerians and Ghanaians differently. While he believes Nigerians are naturally good at business, hustling and creativity, he feels Ghanaians have the edge when it comes to critical thinking.
He said:
“Ghanaians are smarter than Nigerians. It’s just, they are not as hardworking. No, they are not as hardworking, they are not hustlers. Nigerians are business smart. You can be business smart and dull generally.”
He went on to explain why he separates business success from intelligence in everyday life, saying the two should not be confused.
He stated:
“Being business smart and smart in real life are different things. You can be business smart, you can k!ll it in the business space, but in real life, in critical thinking, you can be a dull piece of sh!t. When it comes to business, hustling, making money, creativity, Nigerians are smart.”
