Dr. Patrick Wilmot

I attended Yale University in the US, I was a classmate of John Kerry. I was more intelligent than John Kerry. I was two years ahead of George Bush who is now the President of the United States. My Intelligence Quotient doubled that of George Bush. I was more dynamic and charismatic. I also had more leadership abilities. So if I wanted to make money, I should have stayed in the United States. I never changed my visa from student visa so that I can stay in the US. I never asked for US citizenship. I came to teach in Nigeria and went to the Ahmadu Bello University, not even the most famous university at the time. There were universities of Ibadan, Ife and Nsukka. I went to ABU and taught my students and it became one of the best universities in the whole of Africa because people like myself and many of my colleagues were dedicated. Instead of allowing the students to memorise things, we taught them to ask questions and the students learnt a lot because that is the way you develop a mind. You must question your teacher and all your ambition must be to better your teacher; not to be equal with your teacher. And I appreciated everything the students did in terms of criticizing me. That is why many of them are occupying very high positions in the society today.
