stillwater: So this is the face of one of the ministers that destroyed education in the country. Ok!As minister, I was a vocal critic of the satellite campus system, which I believed was seriously lowering the quality of higher education in the country. “I was the first person to notice that.”Today, we have the Open University system which is taking care of that need. I also introduced the French language policy so that every Nigerian can have the opportunity to be bi- lingual. When I left office it was abolished. I also brought focus on teacher education so that you first of all produce teachers who will teach others. Building schools without the people to teach is an effort in futility.”Maybe you. Were in the primary school at that time for you. To notice all of it 9 Likes |

[color=#006600][/color] dauda birmah: As minister, Of course we can remember those good old days when one could still raise his hands in jamb exam and report a fellow student to the invigilator that he is cheating. If u do it now, u will get linched. Heck some of our invigilators do the exam malpractice now. Some of us used to run away from class during time for french because we just couldnt understand it. I can still remember when i wrote my first essay with french. Gone are those days. Nigeria was better then ooo. You tried Sir. |

dauda birmah: As minister, Barka de zuwa, Alhaji. Please go through threads from time to time and see the frustrations of Nigerian youths with our leadership and advice your friends in leadership positions to tow the path of integrity and vision. I have always maintained that the generation of our fathers (you included) failed us the younger generation, and if our youths are worse today than our fathers were, it is only because your generation did not show us any example. We are a generation without role models You taught us that honesty is not the best policy, corruption is. You taught us that merit does not come before connections and nepotism, hence we have very lazy youths. What is the point of working hard when you cannot make any progress doing so? You taught us about greed of epic proportions, where a single man embezzles money that even his fourth generation would not finish spending. You taught us that it doesn't matter how you make your money, what matters is that you make it. Bottomline Alhaji, your generation has failed us, and I'm not saying this as someone who is a failure. I'm saying it as someone who loves my fatherland deeply but who has to live in another man's land because my homeland is nothing to write home about. You guys should redeem yourselves - all of you who have had the opportunity to lead in Nigeria. You still have some time. Nigeria has no excuse to still remain a third world country at this time, but persistent bad leadership has been our undoing. 2 Likes |

Neo-XVI:I understand what you are going thru my friend the problem with nigeria is nigerians we don't support ours rather we continue applauding dos countries there is progress in nigeria look at the development we have now @ 52 years,e keep comparing our self to the us which gained independence nearly 200 years ago corruption has hindered the development of all the sectors of the nation’s economy. The problem of corruption is responsible for the decay in education, the level of unemployment and general poverty in the country. We must fight this monster which has created unemployment. All our money is going to foreign banks and is being held hostage there. If you bring all that money here it will go a long way in reducing the level of poverty. The economy was far better in the Abacha days. His regime was not a bad government contrary to what some people were saying after his death, they started to invent lies against him. At his death, we had $8, 9 billion as foreign reserves, but the regime that succeeded him handed over $3.4 billion. In his days, it was N78 to a dollar, but he was targeting N62 per dollar before he died. How much is it today? Even the money they recovered after Abacha’s death where did they keep it. It is the same corruption. We must be sincere in the fight against corruption. The EFCC and other related agencies must show more commitment. If you fight corruption in the day, and sleep with corruption at night, that is not fighting corruption |

Re: Fomer Education Minister Joins Nairaland by Nobody: 2:57pm On Mar 16, 2013 |
dauda birmah: As minister, I was actually in secondary school. I spent two years in a public school and this was assailed with numerous strikes before my parents shipped me off to a private school. In that public school, students had to continuously inform the teachers before they knew it was time for them to teach. For a whole term, my social studies notes only exceeded two pages. This is me coming from a private primary school and receiving this rude shock of what schooling under the Nigerian government is like. As for the public primary school near my house, I saw how children as young as 5 years old were sent on errands during school hours by their teachers. Public services in my time were a perfect disgrace. It is the foundation of those days that have reduced education to the sewer state it is now. |
