Africa And Our "Love" For Education by seuncyrus(m): 11:13am On May 20, 2016
Why Masters And PhD? When You Can Unlock
The Riches Of The World Without A Bachelor's
Degree. Since I was a little boy,I remember in
Lagos,Nigeria that we were always told
"Education is the best legacy". As a small boy I
lived and believed in this statement, till today I
believe this statement. However, I still remain a
strong advocate of the fact that education do not
define the future of any nation or man. Globally
today,one common mistake people
make,especially in Africa where I hail from is that
everybody wants to go to school.

We all wanna have a certificate. But what is the use of thecertificate when it can't get you what you really
want? People are so much in love with education
today, that they keep doing all manners of course,
programs and whatever. Many people
today,always yearn for "I wanna have my
Masters", "I wanna have my PhD", excuse
me,keep quiet and go do something better.

Today,I studied the world very well,I checked
those who dominate the world in terms of wealth,
but 90% of these guys ain't Masters or PhD
holders. Some of them don't even have Bsc. But
PhD holders are their subjects. Brother Bill Gates,
our richest man in the world doesn't have a
common Bsc, but you know the serious ones who
go getting Bsc are his subjects, he gives them
paycheck upon their PhD. Our brother who
founded Facebook(largest social media in the
world) and the 6th richest man in the world Mark
Zuckerberg doesn't have a common Associate
Degree. Brother Aliko Dangote,the richest black
man got only Bsc, but you know he hires PhD
holders to drive his trucks all over Nigeria. The
richest black woman Aunty Folorunsho Alakija
didn't attend no university, but she is all over
Nigerian universities giving speeches on Masters
and PhD convocation day. She is even a
Chancellor at Osun State University.

I can go on and on to tell you mighty shakers of this moment who have got no degree,but who pays degree
holders. Sometimes ago,a survey was carried out
about houses in Lagos, and it was realized that
90% of the houses are owned by illiterates who
can barely read or write, but the tenants are
degree holders. Your degree doesn't qualify you to
be a landlord, it is what you can do!! Beloved,
your degree is not your destiny, stop being
boastful of bagging those degrees, it is your
potential and the level at which you can think and
maximize opportunities that defines you. Today, I
am not preaching to you not to pursue Masters
or PhD or any program you find good for yourself,
but be sure of one thing, those things ain't a sure
certification that you will be rich. We have host of
degree holders selling iced waters. Finally, study
yourself and do what's best for you. Don't be
freaked by the desire of wanting to have degrees
that doesn't determine destiny! Good morning.
