Èyín méjèjì mán npa mí lèrín.
It's been a while since I've been up here.
The only thing I would change is that one does not need to be literate in English. That was where my argument went down. I still believe that literacy is a must when holding a position as a member of a political party.

So you speak Yoruba? or did you ask someone to translate?

Anyhow, how is school going?

Now, I agree with you 100%

Are you in NY really?

Yes, I speak Yoruba. I had to use the French language keyboard to get the "do-re-mi" accents. Yep, I wrote it myself. School's going well, I'm preparing for college now, well finalizing the financial aid process. I live in Maryland, not New York. But it's about a 4-hour drive. How about you? School/work?

I actually live in jersey but have friends in MD.

Lucky you!!
I did not apply to Maryland schools. I plan to go to PG Community College and then transfer to College Park or somewhere else after 2 years. I applied to some schools but it all depends on how much they give me. Where did you go?

Lucky me? Think again. . . I work my arse off, phuck luck!
Anyway, I went to the most famous college in NJ. . . If you know the answer, hit me up on IM, below my screen name. I'd waiting for you. I dont want to derail the thread anymore, you can ask me whatever question you have on YIM. Lucky you, you have someone like me to ask questions, when I was applying, I had no one. Anyway, I will be glad to help you anyway I can.

Tunmi, sounds like a solid plan. Just make sure you plans things out well in advance so your credits transfer.

Stop whining. Get over it grin

I have always wanted to post on this topic because I am actually interested in the efficacy of democracy in an environment where people do not understand the reasons and consequences of their votes. I was reading a couple of articles on this issue and it got me thinking about democracy or as my friend fela would say democrazy.

Isn't that. . . every democracy? I do agree that better-educated citizens make for overall a better society. But I don't think an inability to read implies less ability to understand political issues.
Re: Illiterate Delegates Banned From Voting In Ondo State by SEFAGO(m): 7:06am On Feb 18, 2011
Hmm depends then how do you get informed about what is happening or about the candidate. Illiteracy is just not the ability to read but you will likely be unable to understand the complexities of what the politician is selling you and if he or she is selling you garbage

95% of humans (no matter how educated. And I'm including myself in this 95%) do not fully understand the issues. Often they just clannishly and tribalistically vote dem/repub (for example).

The political activists who deeply research the issues do. But they are a small fraction of humanity.
