Good writing, I must admit!
Whenever I come across post like this on social media,
one question always hijack my thinking, and this is the question :
HOW ARE WE GOING TO GET OURSELVES OUT OF THIS NONSENSE WE FIND OURSELVES AND MAKE OUR COUNTRY BETTER FOR THE FUTURE GENERATIONS?....
And I have not for once seen a post or perhaps platform that talks about "WHAT TO DO" instead of citing problems here and there, let's engage in how to fix all this problem and stop fixing blame....

Getting a personal library that doesn't include all this nonsensical motivational books is kind of a good one...
But what do we do after knowing all this facts?

I think knowing and talking isn't going to solve anything!

INTROVERT:
PLEASE TAKE YOUR TIME AND READ.

This is a beautiful piece, God bless you real good.

Opakan2:


you obviously are a jambite or yet to complete secondary education. Same goes for the OP

Before I got into the system, it has been like that.. when I got there, it was like that. Infact throughout my days in uni, it was struggle against Mgt's injustice

It's your likes in glorified secondary schools who know nothing thinking they are something or one of these 14 - 15 yrs kid already in tertiary institution that come up with oversabi posts like this
Nonsense

Jeez. You obviously did not read the article.

This is the best write up I've read on nl since I joined

BoboYekini:
It could never be. As she is just a step above the millennials that the author writes of.
This piece is enough to galvanize a nation into a reading frenzy, but I fear we are too far gone. A few of us will murmur and nod in admiration of fine writing - and use the opportunity to drop a few ostentatious words of our own. But the horde, the millennials, it is water off their backs.

...i am impressed by your excellent use of language.

Ishilove:

Tell them. It's so annoying

It's so bad that I see my colleagues who graduated with B. A English use it. I guess not all graduates are "educated" after all.

AnthonioAlsaid:

If you had sense to understand my point rather that seeking Google to help you criticize

You'd have realize we wanted to pass the same info.

Now be gone

oooh!
so you knew where to find Google, and still make wrong assertions or fact twisting is your profession?
point of correction, we are not passing the same info. if you had wanted to do such you would have seen and acknowledge your mistake and not this....

AnthonioAlsaid:

Read my post again
You'd see BE GONE at the bottom
Make good use of it

eradicating the attributes of the half educated is part of the "aluta continua."
so sad you are not making good use of the resources at your disposal.

i am done and gone from thee.

Hence the many contradictions of our blighted existence in Nigeria. Boastful public anti-intellectualism – I don’t read! This essay is too long! – is worn around the neck like an Olympic gold medal by people screaming “aluta” on social media. People who live for hate and by hate on the basis of ethnicity and faith also go about screaming aluta

A nation that cannot produce a critical mass whose attention span can grasp more than a tweet is doomed. A nation that cannot produce a critical mass that can read more than a paragraph without grumbling is doomed.
The article is talking about lazy folks like you.

OK, thanks, I'm a lazy folk but I've got more important things to do with my time rather than read senseless post like yours...

Karlman:

Thank you. We speak the same language.

Kizyte:

I'd seen your posts and seen those things that are 'important' to you.
Next time just skip post like these ones, instead of advertising your dilatoriness and torpidness.
Getting old is mandatory, growing up is optional.

Hmmmm.... Only a University of Ilorin graduate can cook up something this beautiful and educating. Truly better by far...

indeed this article was meant for me i won't let this slide easily

Don't be so cocky

Franzinni:
The OSHODI.. Comprehensive dictionary defines it as such..

Aluta continua. <a.loot.er. Continu.ah>

A Latin phrase and It means

LOOTERS SHOULD CONTINUE.

Lwkmd guy you no well oh

...the activism struggle continues.

UjSizzle:

I strongly doubt you know why you were taught Summary in school. And I can assure you it wasn't to deter people from long reads.

noted..next!

It is, "I'm" not "am

clap for yourself.. Anything else?

who your English teacher epp wole Soyinka?

the author of the post has succinctly echoed the thoughts I have on the endemic problem associated with youths presently in this country. we abuse, and denigrate each other on social media without actually looking at the root cause of the hydraheaded monster created and continuously nurtured by our leaders. it seems the purpose of the struggle is then lost in the thick layers of hatred and sheer animosity we harbour towards each other. we should pls eendeavor to learn to tolerate each other with the intent of collective emancipation of the Nigerian project from our present crop of leaders

The white men that brought us education know the significance of summary, that is why in SSCE, summary carries the highest mark in English language examination. Did you know the number of posts being posted on nairaland alone daily? did you know the number posted on other social media? so why should one spend one's invaluable time reading an epistle which ordinarily should have been encoded in an highlight format?.

BTW you don't have to always display your unmanned characteristics while responding to people's response on a platform like this, try and be more cultured ok!

INTROVERT:






In summary the article was talking about all you guys who don't read....who wobble, dab and wabble in ignorance and enjoy it. Cheers.

"Against Tribalism"

That's more than enough for everybody out there!
