Education is not the same in Europe, Asia, America, Africa. Education in the other places; except Africa, is based on their own languages, terms, culture, point of view, history, e.t.c. During slavery and colonialism, the original model of education in Africa was removed and replaced with what white people believe to be education. Same way they made their own languages official in our lands while our languages were relegated to the back seat.

The prerequisite for formal knowledge acquisition in Nigeria is English. The prerequisite for formal knowledge acquisition in Benin republic is French.
e.t.c.

No matter how intelligent a Yoruba boy, he cannot be educated in Africa, unless he speaks English. No matter how intelligent an Igbo girl, she cannot be educated in Africa, unless she speaks English.
e.t.c.

Get it?.

It ought not to be so!!. Because, this alone cuts off a large chunk of the African population from knowledge acquisition.

Of course, you would not understand these things cause you're already a victim of the system. Our leaders too are already victims, because nobody escapes it.

Lord Kwame Nkrumah, the founding father of African independence noticed these problems in the 50's. He was so embittered that he called education in Africa a "fraud". Unfortunately, he didn't live to make necessary changes.

Indeed, Lord Kwame Nkrumah noticed the problem with education in Africa. After observing the distortion of education in Africa, he said .

As you can see, the father of African independence who schooled in about 3 American universities called education in Africa a fraud. He even went further to say in future this education would create the type of elites that would become a problem to Africa's development!. This's the same problem you've observed, but unfortunately you can't fathom the cause of the problem is education.

Another African scholar Mr. C. Tsehloane Keto, observed that education in Africa was faulty and that it makes us surrender power to foreigners. Mr. Keto said

All the above gives white people intellectual superiority over us- which is why you see a white man giving instruction for a job done by Nigerians. It's so because we the African people have not realized the foolery in what we call education- the education cuts us off from real knowledge acquisition!. It only indoctrinate us!. We no longer remember what we have today is not true education but an indoctrination fed us by the British and French. The intellectual superiority white people exert over us is so big that a white man boasted to me recently saying

He had the audacity to say such to me because he understands we're being fooled with what they fed us as education during colonialism. He understands that knowledge is only knowledge, if they say so. He understands they create knowledge and that all we can do in Africa is copy and paste. Yet, the saddest part is that while white people understands the damage and how western education mess up our minds, but we Africans don't!.

Until African nations re-invent education and eschew what Fela Anikulapokuti called ''follow follow'' and what Bob Marley called ''mental slavery'' we'll remain in this situation of looking up to white people as a standard.

I've researched the problem with education in Africa and I know exactly what the problem is. In order for Africa to develop we must create a model of education that’s grounded in African philosophy, ideals, point of view, history, culture, e.t.c. A model of education without colonial hangovers. The same model of education the Japanese have used to acquire knowledge to build technological wonders and went to the moon without western influence. I’m talking about a model of education that will work for Africa!.

Can't nigerians build their roads without the input and assisstance of foreigners? In a country of millions, we depend on foreigners to build roads, find, drill, sell and refine oil, we depend on foreigners to manage our national football team.
This country sucks big time.

Construction of dualised road is not a new thing. Mr Govenor, complete the Monorail, and I will know if Y̶̲̥̅̊ø̲̣̣̥ǖ are working or not

Nyesom Wike is a fraud and nothing but a photo-op Governor. This is a man as Minister of Education did nothing and cant point to any achievement in the education sector besides embezzling money.
He achieved absolutely nothing as Minister of Education and this is the man people expect to perform as Governor of River State. I can predict his performance use of substandard materials for projects,inflated contracts,massive corruption and more debt for Rivers.
Before you get a promotion you have to achievements to show,what can Wike point out what he achieved as Minister of Education,here lies the problem of Nigeria,rewarding failures and thieves to be leaders of the States with the biggest budgets in the county and 4-8 years from now Rivers State residents will be wondering were they went wrong. Africans were never meant for self rule

Oyigbo needs a total overhaul. The roads in that semi-urban is terrible.

amaco12:
hahahahahahahahahaha.roads with open drainage.no walk way,no street light.well he has tried anyways but don't compare him with Amaechi.

overlord77:


Don't mind them, the likes of omenka dat will never speak good of anything outside APC.
I never liked Amaechi or Wike neither did I like PH but with what this man is doing now, fixing d roads, the street lights, clearing trash. I believe he will be far better than that lousy ex-governor

OAFMods:


Wrong, the black race is just not ready for emancipation. Education is the same from Europe Asia Africa n the Americas. Anytime the black man is ready to do away with greed that is when Africa will progress.

The Europeans succeeded in taming their greed having realized there is no new land to be exploited or conquered, Africa is far from realizing conquering n exploiting its populace will not augur well for its development. Its not about education, its more of common sense / intelligence of the Africa leader.

Joke is on you. I doubt u even stay in Rivers State then u will know what Wike is showcasing is child's play compared to what Amaechi did. I'll highlight some for you just in case

1. Rumuokwuta - Rumuola Rd.
2. Rumuokwuta - Choba (Uniport) Rd.
3. Ada George Rd (from NTA - ikwerre rd.)
4. Resurfacing of Airforce - Rupokwu link rd.
5. Trans Woji bridge
6. Oginigba to Slaughter rd.
7. Rumuodara - Artillery Jnct.
8. Diobu inner road
9. Water lines - Ikwerre Rd. (Ikokwu)
10. Resurfacing of GRA...

And these are in PH alone... other LGAs witnessed same

Not to talk of the World class schools he built in with Modern facilities to empower Rivers children...

Amaechi's feat in Rivers is laudable.

Or u want me to remind of you security

Don't compare Wike with Amaechi please. PH is dirtier now and drainages are getting blocked because of poor refuse management. Be sincere
