TOWARDS THE PANACEA FOR NIGERIA’S ECONOMIC CRISIS: CAPACITY BUILDING OR MIRACLES?

Abstract

This study considered both capacity building and miracles in the quest for the panacea for the Nigeria’s Economic Crises. With the tool of the theories of multiple intelligence and divergent thinking adopted by this study: It was discovered that miracles will endorse laziness, enhance superstition, encourage counterfeit prophecies and launch the Nigeria’s economy down the drain since it is not proactive. Capacity building will enhance creative intelligence and innovations, ability to adapt to any given vicissitude and making significance progress even in the midst of stressful circumstances. This study concludes that concerted efforts should be made by both the Nigerian state authorities and the church towards investing in capacity building and promoting it. The churches should direct their resources to building skill acquisition centers, affordable schools for talents discovery and mastery, manufacturing industries and the likes instead of building of more cathedrals, empty halls and embarking on projects that wields zero economic value. Primary and post primary institutions in Nigeria should restructure their academic syllabus to accommodate reflections on creative intelligence. This study adopted both the primary and secondary means of data collection. The required hypothesis and deductions were drawn strictly on the qualitative analysis and synthesis of the collated data made via culture centered and phenomenological approaches.
