What the whites brought to us is not Education but English literacy, intellectual rape discern to tell us about ourselves rather than telling them who we are.

When you have a degree in a particular discipline, the question you should ask yourself is what can I do with this? If your degree can not impact, solve problems and add values, then in actual fact, you have not acquired a degree that would change your status and change people's life.

Why must you be looking for someone that created his or her own job to employ you? It means you are an employee not a problem solver.. You are someone conditioned to abide by rules and should for no reason flout one. You are a slave, that is, someone who does not ask questions.

When you get a job and you are told not to bring your child, that is not work but job. One who works, has a saying on what he or she does. You are a slave. That is why when you finished school and they tell you to go into a labour market, they are telling you that you are a professional labourer. Soon, you would be part of labour union and be fighting for your rights after you must have been deprived.

Oh you think a banker is better than an "adire woman"? Oh...then you knows nothing. If an adire maker can come to her work with her baby. She decides when to come to work and not, she decides what she gets monthly, when to leave work and what to wear. If the adire maker has the liberty to do as she pleases while the banker has to follow as the employer wishes, then you and I know who is better.

Philosophy is about what you say and how you think while sociology is about what the society says...

Africans and Nigeria youths, Why can't you think? Think and think.. Don't just accept what the society throws at you or thinks you are.

Be a problem solver, not job haunters. Look everywhere, there are 1001 things begging to be fix. Start from there, that is only place where you can earn yourself a name, a pride, a sense of belonging, a fame and a value. No ones becomes great because he is the best employee or labourer.


Greatness comes from the art and act you have mastered, that changes people's life, betters yours and profits you. If you are the best presenter on channels TV and your life becomes something when you are unfortunately fired, then what is good about you? You are just like many past athletes that have risen to glory and stardom but fails to plan, hence they tarry.

Think about your life, reflect on the past and caste a future's platform upon which you can navigate.
