I believe everyone should strive for knowledge, acquiring skills and building up competences but with the way life is now then a mix of both would be my choice ( excluding cash and kind ).

Hmm i see your point but to me, your friend is right to seek for knowledge as getting good grades is just for expedient reasons through those other means you mentioned. Knowledge stays with you forever, empowers you, opens your mind and sets the foundation for further exploits.

I also seek for good grades sometimes through cramping and pouring then hoping to acquire the knowledge later but it does not turn out the way we intended in some cases and hence the ills of cramping and pouring lol.

Stop chasing after what the country wants. The question should be "what do u want?"
Do you just want to be a graduate? Or a professional in what you do?
That's the difference between the pursuit of good grades and the pursuit of knowledge; the kinda graduates each produces.

You also have to know that the pursuit of pure unadulterated knowledge gives u an edge in the examination hall cos it makes u well grounded, no matter how the examiner twists the question, u won't be twisted.

I'm gonna give you an example, I remember when u did International accounting as a course. As you know, globalized economy is one of the economic factors that influence International accounting and it has its own objectives. A lot of people crammed those objectives, some even copied it down. But the examiner twisted the question like this; "what common efforts are pursued by nations in a globalized world economy?" This question confused them, they left the objectives of globalized economy and started writing the historical background of International accounting.

I can go on and on but I'd like to stop here. I have also weighed the both concepts and I have chosen my path.

The pursuit of knowledge supersedes corruption any time any day. On the other hand, corruption kills the zeal of pursuit of knowledge.

Note: This is my opinion, this is what I believe in, I'm not forcing it down anyone's throat cos it won't be fair. We all are vested with the right to choose our path, so choose what you think is best for u.

That's one of the problem of cramping facts as you cannot defend or discuss those knowledge competently outside the exam or lecture hall. When a student focuses too much on cramping and pouring then with time it will be very difficult for you to go back in seeking knowledge, it kills your creativity and ability to think outside the box.

Forget your country as in this modern global village, your skills, knowledge and competence are needed the world over. They look beyond good grades out there and seek for those who actually know what they were doing in school. Education according to Albert Einstein is not the learning of facts but the training of the mind to think.

Most of what we do in classrooms in Nigeria from nursery to tertiary education is the memorization of facts and we definitely forget those things quickly over time. Yes teaching is a form of learning and so do interactive discussion, playing,observation, experimenting,inquisitive thinking or actions, trial and error, apprenticeship,personal research and independent studies too.

Vivian chinaza said a lot for everyone to think and decide what to do, we were all product of this education system and society that defers us towards cramping and aiming for good grades or paper certificates. At a point in life we do realize this mistake and woe betide us if we do not deviate from that path after this realization. Just like vivian i am weaning myself off that Nigerian mentality and aiming to pursue raw knowledge.

P.S You can take a look at the education section of nairaland and see how these secondary schools kids are looking for expo to cramp and pour in their WAEC and JAMB examinations.

we all re saying d same tin,i want 2 b good in both ways,no b la cram la pour mata sha

Knowledge is everything and its d basis of every real virtue. D problem we face in d country today is "knowledge in disguise". One dat av dat kinda knowledge though may av a high graded certificated,bt its ntin, its nt even knowledge; its certificate. Wisdom,understanding,good work,decency etc are all d branches of knowledge. U cn take a view to c if d country posses any of those listed. Without d pure knowledge, u're just big Zombee cos though u may b big, u're empty.
My elementary school motto then was KNOWLEDGE IS POWER.
