A few weeks ago, I had a heartfelt conversation with a young scholar I consider one of my mentees. He asked to meet me because he wanted to discuss issues he couldn’t share over the phone, and it took weeks before we finally connected. All my friends and mentees know that I am a passionate supporter of Nigeria and disapprove of people leaving the country in search of better opportunities. His reasons: My salary doesn’t cover the essentials for my small family at the end of the month. Teaching and research consume my time, leaving me with little energy or…
