You were the bridge between the North and the South: who spoke Yoruba better than I did, but who was proud of his noble Ebira Northern heritage and his royal roots. My dearest brother, Prince Nazir Ado…

But the real question we should be asking is whether the world could and should actually retain some inefficiencies, rather than the relentless pursuit of efficiency and more efficiency that may tip the scale and lead us all into confusion. There will certainly not come any day in the future where human beings will not have to lift a finger because robots have fixed all the problems. Artificial Intelligence will not be able to do every work – even though it will try hard. The history of governments and businesses in this world could be validly summed up as the…
