"NIGERIA AND HER USELESS EDUCATIONAL SECTOR.


If 2y(5x-7y) -6y (x +6) = 45. Find x.


Yesterday i was in the sitting room watching a program
calledChina24 on CCTV NEWS, an electric lamp manufacturer was interviewed together with his workers in his factory. The workers are kids between the ages or 12-18 the most beautiful part of it was that the kids can on their own manufacture same.


Now let's come down to Nigeria.
Nigerian students are busy searching for "x" while students
in the
developed countries are manufacturing things for the
development of
their country.

In Nigeria, our engineering students spend nearly all their
time solving difficult equations and searching for "x".

In Nigeria, students will be asked to search for "x" I do smile
and ask
myself how can we use Algebra and simultaneous equation
to boost
the economy.

How can we use the located "x" to solve the challenges
facing us?

In Nigeria, teacher will draw a circle having dots in it on the
chalk
board and tell the kids "this is an Orange" imagine.
In Nigeria, a teacher will be in the class room using acid to
change
litmus paper to red on the chalk board. In fact, in Nigeria the
best
place to mix acid with base is on chalk board.

In Nigeria, a teacher will be in the class teaching rock and it
types
and expect the students to be able to identify them in real
sense how
possible?

However, the above are some of the reasons why at 50+ as
an oil
producing country we are still importing tooth-pick and
matches. Our brain has been channel to the fact that failure
to go to school will end one up as a domestic servant of the
educated ones which I seriously disagree with. We can't all
be in the class room at the same time and expect us to catch
up with the developed countries, it never done; we will keep
depending on them with such barbaric idea.


Let those that are willing to go into sport be on the field or
track not
in class room, Christiano Ronaldo of Real Madrid FC was
expelled from school at the age of 14 and today he is a
world footballer.

Let take those that are good in construction to factories or
workshops
not class room. Let's take away pen from our engineering
students
and send them out of class.

Let's take away pen from those that are willing to take hoe,
cutlass,
hammer, saw, screw driver etc.

Our too much dependent on pen is sending us backward.
To me, spending 5, 6 or more years in tertiary institution is
nothing
but a total waste of time, 3 years is enough for engineering
courses.

12 calendar month is enough for food related courses and 3
or 4
years is enough to be a lawyer. Imagine our youth spending
8years of their lives in university and still our Government
don't trust on their expertise rather they travel out of the
country..


At this juncture, I will like to call on the government at all
level to
look into this and find a lasting solution to it.


Lastly our government should stop sending the talented
ones away
by sending them aboard for training and failed to establish/
provide where they will be discharging what they've learnt
or the skills they've acquired upon their arrival. If we can do
this, I believe that few years to come Nigeria will be the
greatest country of the world while others will be on the
queue at our back.

But before then, I remain my humble self. God bless my
father land".
