The Principle of Quantum Reality and Nigeria Leadership Pedagogy -By Tony Osakpamwan Agbons

As a Physics student back in the day’s yore, one of the topics that turned my belly (note, not my brain hahahaha) was the “principle of quantum reality”. I just couldn’t get my head round it. Chemistry was my numero uno subject. According to the Britannica encyclopaedia, this principle attempts to describe and account for the properties of molecules and atoms and their constituents – electrons, protons, neutrons, and other more esoteric particles such as quarks and gluons. These properties include the interactions of the particles with one another and with electromagnetic radiation such as Light, X-rays, and Gamma rays. Now you see what I mean. My head is getting hot right now! To read and understand these things, you need to sharpen your intuition, or possibly just give up any sense of reality at all.

Alright, before you start ‘mind travelling’ as you read this, let me ask you a simple question related to quantum reality. How many of us would naturally say that feathers and bricks fall at the same rate under gravity from a height? “Ohooo!”. You see what I am talking about? In 1935 the scholarly `scientific wizard`, Albeit Einstein and two other physicists in the United States, Boris Podolsky and Nathan Rosen, analysed a thought experiment to measure position and momentum in a pair of interacting systems. Employing conventional quantum mechanics, they obtained some startling results, which led them to conclude that the theory of quantum reality does not give a complete description of physical reality. Okay let`s bring it home….

This is where our dear country Nigeria comes in. Our bubble has finally burst. What is our emerging quantum reality relative to how we navigate our physical reality? We are facing the stark reality and the cumulative result of mediocrity, gross incompetence, bad leadership, and governance especially in the last seven and a half years. Nigeria is at a decisive point in history. It is an All or None rule for us now. We cannot afford to get it wrong in the 2023 elections. We need to fix Nigeria. Our country needs to work for us. Nigeria is not only meant for a few people (who are less than 5000 in number) to enjoy good life while hundreds of millions of citizens are suffering. We need a Nigeria that guarantees the happiness of the majority and not a tiny minority. Systems have to be put in place and Governance must be for the joy of the greater majority of people and not just for a select few. We must face our “quantum reality”. So, Nigerians, go and collect your PVC (Permanent Voters Card) `make we vote wisely` without parochial tribal, ethnic, religious, or political party sentiments in this coming 2023 election. Wishing You All A Very Merry Christmas and A Prosperous New Year.

Indeed, A New Nigeria is Possible as we make this quantum leap to our zenith consciousness where each of us is an isomer of our valued “Nigerianess”…I rest my case. Make I run go farm!
