The Former Formal- Our Emigrant Has Gone Haywire by olaobamide: 7:10pm On Sep 05, 2015
OUR FORMAL EDUCATION WAS/IS NOT FORMAL
Our primary school education was beautiful, our teachers continued to surprise us with lot of rhymes. In many rhymes, we mimic all we wanted to be; attributing ourselves to world billionaires, public office holders, fast track investors to mention few. Those teachers contributed their own formal quota to our nascent and developing literacy.


Beyond this, we were too young to realize the very colossal mission that portend and presage our rhymes. Our formal teachers were gods, they would make us be all we wanted. With this basic reality, we were prospective.

Sooner, we began high school, our new formal teachers were not our uncles and aunts like did our former teachers. Here our teachers were not gods, they no longer stay with us in class. The genius of our time became the class ruler and go to call our formal teachers when need be.

Our literacy soar higher. In no time, we began specialization, we became scientists, commercialists and lot more.

More to this was the class system of our time. The geniuses were our gods, our formal teachers rated them higher, they enjoyed fairness, they were garlands and accolades of honour.
In another class system were us, we were the braids and plaits around their(geniuses) honorarium.

The class system was part of the formal education we added to our literacy; it left us with despondency and optimism.
The optimist were our geniuses and we(braids) were left with despondency. Our class system was la-di-da.

When we finished high school, our formal education unveiled that, our geniuses would grow up, they would become professors, doctors, lawyers, jurors and other government workers. They would be rich(many of them would have four houses, six vehicles and more), they would enjoy social security and Medicare. They would retire after about thirtyfive years of service and would be gratified with subsequent pension.

We(braids and plaits) would also grow up, but to be odious and hated by our geniuses. We would neither have four houses nor six vehicles, we would not become government workers, we would not enjoy Medicare and social security.
Our high school literacies told us we would be poor and we would be rich if only we become geniuses.
OUR FORMAL EDUCATION WAS NOT FORMAL.

We were not satisfied with the level of our literacy; for we believe we were macaco of the highest order and must be decorated with tertiary sandarac.

And now, OUR TERTIARY FORMAL EDUCATION IS NOT FORMAL.
Our literacy and formality as taught by our tertiary formalists will serve as human power for government and private agencies.
Our geniuses are glad; they have the key to the future, they will be selected preferentially to us. We will not be liabilities to government and private agencies. The geniuses will be our anti-fandom, they will hate us, we will love them. Few among them will transit to us(braids).

Our formal education will stabilize us in the world of formality; some of us will have financial education and majority will transit to geniuses. We will cry because part of us transited and they will hate us.

Since we cannot depend on government and private agencies; We will become fast track investors, we will own largest shares in private investment, we will create mutual funds for geniuses to invest in, we will become teachers to geniuses who care to make us their mentors. We will proof our financial literacy in oil and gas company, gold and silver mining, real estate management and lot more.
Our financial statement will have many zeros, we will enjoy financial freedom, we will not be lazy, we will be lauded by government and we will control the world economy.

Geniuses will envy us, they will invest and become flippers and rat race investors. They will work for us and hate us the more. They will become our liabilities(added to our ownership equity is our asset) and they will be loved by us.

We will be happy we were braids,
We will be happy we transited from geniuses to plaits,
And we will see more terra incognita that will make us our reality in the formal education that is not formal.
