Neglect First Principles At Your Own Peril

Railway Transportation:
There are underlying problems in Nigeria that stand in the way of efficient railway transportation systems. We need reliable and affordable electricity. We need home-based scientists and engineers who can build and mantain trains, cabs, engines and whatnot. We need a solid culture of constant and continuous improvement. Greed, bribery and corruption have to be greatly reduced...

In my opinion, our problems are deep-rooted. The enabling environment for Nigerians to tap into their creative imagination to create, invent and maintain technological products is below par... 

We cannot have sustainable transportation systems: land, air or sea if we neglect first principles. A country that does not take inventions and innovations in Science and Technology as a major priority will always lag behind.
