After COVID-19 we really need to review our education system and its core values in this nation. If there's anything COVID-19 has exposed or taught us is how useless our education system really is in Nigeria. We can't even use our education to solve our problems in terms of crisis. We can't manufacture test kits, we have to rely on others to do it for us, can't make our own standard ventilators, we aren't even trying to manufacture any serious drug or produce any vaccine on our own, we are just waiting for others to do it. Are we saying that if others don't give us test kits we wont be able to carry out the test?

If they don't manufacture ventilators we won't. If they don't make any drug or vaccine we will all sit down and die.
We can't even sit down to think of our own home grown solutions that will work for us with our unique culture and situation, instead of copying the emergency trial and error lockdowns that Western nations had to introduce for themselves to fight the virus. We seriously need to sit down and review our education and it's importance to us as a society and how we should use it to solve our problems after this pandemic is over.

We the governors in Nigeria need to invest here than embezzling state funds to buy edifice in abroad.
Now there's no abroad to go again and no hospital here, how do we survive!?

For example do a research to find out if there is any single COVID 19 case in Madagascar as of today the answer is non because they used self made herb to cure the virus while WHO disapproved it but the president have an order to use it even drank it on live broadcast

Ok

How sir. Though we know that we only read, just to pass, but can't research. Only 10% can research.

Please I need to leave minna before I start begging on the street , anyone with a means to travel to Lagos , I am willing to pay ,

Nigeria get educational system?

It's quite unfortunate

Well, you can say it again Mr governor but am saying we can't achieve any meaningful progress or development in the area of research.
Our main focus now and always is to advance the politics of nepotism and regionalism. If it's not from my region, we must not support it.

It is better we stop lying to ourselves and speak out collectively that Nigeria as it is constituted, is not working and can never work. Those who are gaining from this present structure, who are evidently in all the 36 states of the country, are our common enemies.

Biochemistry and Microbiology department in Nigeria universities should be totally shut down. They are both useless. And yes, if you are here reading this and you studied any of the two courses above, you are equally useless in that field.

How many research institute do we have in Nigeria and how much fund goes there yearly.Research institutes are practically non existent here.The problem is not with Educational system but rather corruption being the bane of the society. All those courses you mention are useless in nigeria because they arent able to secure jobs after study and would rather travel abroad to advance n work where research institutes are funded and where they are well taken care of . And the ones unable to travel abroad changes their career path to work in other sectors.

The country is not ready to fund that research and scientific sector(whatever it is called). So it has rendered those courses useless

because Baba doesn't know where to begin with, he is just a figure to compensate the south east region but lack the capacity to initiate anything under his ministry. Better make them merge them with education ministry

Only God knows where our country is heading to
