Creativity and the Caged African Child: Nigerian Perspective.

      Аннотация: In this era of globalization every country needs to nurture human individuals who are productive, no matter their positon and level of education. Not being productive results in “other- dependence”. A country that is not proactive to self production is not protecting her people from unconscious slavery; thus being over dependent on other countries for a large portion of economic means of survival. Being proactive makes a country balanced between level of production and consumption; such a country is likely to be less prone to crsis. It is not an exergeration to say that most African countries, espetiatially those in Sub-Saharan Region, are largely dependent on other nations for technological innovation and other means of livelihood. This other- dependence could likely be a reason for the Region being crisis prone. Why then the less productivity and over dependence on other countries by this Region? Based on some observations and researches, I am of the opinion that, some negative factors could have intercepted the ability of people in this Region to be creative, thus the caging condition.
