I'm just trying to ask my self a curious question: 'has brain drain contributed to this castration or is it as a result of the castration?' Now, what is the restitute to killing this state of affair such that we stop whining over the obvious? Are we intellectual subservient such that we are unable to make 'good use' of our skills and knowledge without having an expat's (intelligence) view? I remain here.

It took Pixar 20 years to make a successful 3D software and hardware environment - to become profitable .. all thanks to investors like Steve Jobs who had extra cash to keep a 'good invention alive, but a loss making venture non-the-less'
The others seeing the success, just bought the engine and proceeded from there; cutting down 20 years of a research - to create 3D environments, films and games.
Of course, Pixar could not give them everything - so these other companies had to figure some things out.

When Ford, Mercedez and the rest came up with the vehicle engine, and the overall design of the car i.e the driver seat, co-driver seat, the passenger seats, the four wheels.. etc Companies like Toyota took it up from the basic and earlier design, of a hydrocarbon engine - without going through the 100 yrs of steam engines and experiments preceding the first successful engine deployment.
