Klump. Klump. Klump. It is the
inexorable march of human progress. Nations march; individuals march. Kings
march and commoners march. Rulers march and the ruled march.
*Benin-Auchi-Okene Federal Highway |
The grand purpose of our
relentless march is to move away from the undesirable to the desirable; from a
life of hard scrabble in a village, for instance, to a modern life of luxury in
towns and cities, as in Lekki in Lagos , Asokoro
in Abuja and
other enclaves of the wealthy and the well-heeled. Nations march to move from
being under-developed to developing and thence to developed nations. The
developed nations march because they want to develop even more and uneven the
score.
