By Ayomide Obembe Africans are generally not inquisitive. As long as something works, it is considered fine—there is no need to understand the principles behind it. If you ask how it works, the answer is often, “It’s God’s work,” or “It’s a mystery that should never be understood.” This mindset discourages curiosity and stifles intellectual […]
