As it is....'MONEY' is the root to all evil.well,am not going to take sides on that
I have long known NAIRALAND to ß an e-discussion forum,where you can come drop opinions,get to know other people's views and get lots of criticism.Without wasting any further time,i will go straight to the point.
My sister was popping the floor this morning and just looked at me and said 'in fact all this schooling sef is just to make money' I objected immediately and said it all depends on the person's choice....some do it for the money and... some to get explored and some cos what lies in the end(For their passion to ß fulfilled).Still on the matter,she was on a wider view saying in short all we do in this life is to make money.She also said 'okay take a look at the artiste,the footballers and the likes' and I said they make much money doesn't mean ALL are after all that cos of the money,some could be for the love they have for it and without knowing,they make a 'blow' someday and also,that I think is an African mentality.The argument continued and I had no option but to bring my situation into it.
I said...'Look! As a student of Agriculture, You know I have been aspiring to study medicine and even in that field..surgery,still at that......Neurosurgery why do you think I have been on the chase for that course even as at present when I know/have heard the plans of the Federal government in the agricultural sector?' Again I said even if medical practitioners make enough money as you claim...the question is do they still have time to spend the so called 'enough money'? (Speaking of our eldest brother a doctor... who had to remain in his working place one certain E-xmas period where the whole family was gathered...more like a re-union) all these where just to prove that some people are after their hearts and passion and not really the money.Saying most people I may agree to some extent but 'ALL'.....NO! And excluding myself doesn't make it 'all'.
Now to you nairalanders...what's your take on this issue. Thanks in advance
