Fvck it! Mo'fvcker never loved us. That's why i dropped my dream of becoming a petro-chemical engineer(actually that was what pops wanted me to become).
First, my chemistry teacher never liked me, it was like she had this personal hate on me- she used every opportunity she had to fvck me up. i went to a military school,so almost all the soldiers cane were well acquainted with my back and black behind. I gotta admit, I was stubborn alright but I wasn't the only stubborn kid in class then na. I grew up hating chemistry and no matter how hard i tried, Chemistry and I were never gonna be friends. During my Jamb days, i was always lucky to have a science student as a seat partner, and i was always fortunate to be with someone who's either a bookworm or has expo connection.

When i sat for FUTO's Direct entry exam, the case was different 'cause we were given different paper types. I simply answerd english,maths and physics.......then shaded rubbish when I got to chemistry because I didnt know sh!t. Fortunately, my english, maths and physics covered up for my Chemistry BLUNDER.

I remember I even finished the whole 'Comprehensive Chemistry' textbook but i still ended up with nothing. That was when I knew I had no business with chemistry.

pharmguru:
my chemistry teacher in primary 5 (GOD bless his soul) made us commit the whole damn 20 elements to memory word for word....and to recite them PERFECTLY off hand. no shortcuts!

a feat we achieved thanks to his fat canes which landed mercilessly on our backs at the slightest error.

back then we taught he was wicked for doing that but now i know better cos they really helped me in sec school
You were taught chemistry in primary school?

Morning y'all.
I wonder if schools today still use acronyms and formulate songs to aid learning. I remember being taught the first 20 element but it just dint stick. So our Intro tech teacher ( Mr Benshak-God rest his soul) was passing by and when he noticed, he came in and tot us a song he learnt when he was in school. I ll recite and hope it helps someone. Here goes...

ALL THESE ARE JUST ROTE LEARNING NONSENSE INHERITED FROM THE COLONIAL EDUCATION SYSTEM.

Alll you need from chemisty is how to make useful products from the resources of the earth.

Long before people new the periodic table they were smelting iron from ore and producing knifes, swords, and axes; making beer from fermented grain; distilling alcohol; producing soap and paints and dyes for coloring cloth. When gun powder (the infamous black powder) was invented the chinese didn't know what was the periodic table.

Yet today we have chemical engineers and phd chemists who cannot make this simple substances without using sophisticated imported apparatus. But our grandmothers in village can still 'cook' soap. Our 'educated' chemists must import chemicals to produce paints but dyes were commonplace here long before the whites stepped foot on Africa. Local Blacksmiths were smelting ore into iron with crude earth furnaces, yet you tell me without imported factory you cannot produce iron.

Stop rote science. Science is a practical endeavor. You dont learn science as you will literature or history. Even history has to be enacted sometimes for it to sink in.
