NIGERIA AND HER USELESS EDUCATIONAL SECTOR.

If 2y(5x-7y) -6y X +6 = 45 find x.

Just this evening I was watching a program called China24 on CCTV NEWS in my friends house, an electric lamp manufacturer was interviewed together with his workers in his factory. The workers are kids between the ages or 12-18 the most beautiful part of it was that the kids can on their own manufacture same.

Now let's come down to Nigeria.
Nigerian students are busy searching for "x" while students in the developed countries are manufacturing things for the development of their country.
In Nigeria, we engineering students spend nearly all our time solving difficult equations and searching for "x" and heat supplied to a cycle.
In Nigeria, students will be asked to search for "x" I do smile and ask myself how can we use Algebra and simultaneous equation to boost the economy.
How can we use the located "x" to solve the challenges facing us?
In Nigeria, teacher will draw a circle having dots in it on the board and tell the kids "this is an Orange" imagine.
In Nigeria, a teacher will be in the class room using acid to change litmus paper to red on the chalk board. In fact, in Nigeria the best place to mix acid with base is on chalk board.
In Nigeria, a teacher(chukwuma and idigbe) will be in the class teaching rock and it types or something new to our hearing and expect we the students to be able to identify them in real sense. "NOT SO?" how possible?
However, the above are some of the reasons why at 50+ as an oil producing country we are still importing tooth-pick and matches. Our brain has been channelled to the fact that failure to go to school will end one up as a domestic servant of the educated ones which I seriously disagree with. We can't all be in the class room at the same time and expect us to catch up with the developed countries, it is never done; we will keep depending on them with such barbaric idea.
Let those that are willing to go into sport be on the field or track not
in class room, Christiano
Ronaldo of Real Madrid FC was expelled from school at the age of 14
and today he is a world
footballer. My team captain in UNIBEN is now in London making cool money for him and his family just by playing cricket.
Let take those that are good in construction to factories or workshops
not class room. Let's take away pen from our engineering students
and send them out of class.
Let's take away pen from those that are willing to take hoe, cutlass,
hammer, saw, screw driver etc.
Our too much dependent on pen is sending us backward.

To me, spending 5, 6 or more years in tertiary institution is nothing but a total waste of time, 3 years is enough for engineering courses. 12 calender month is enough for food related courses and 3 or 4 years is enough to be a lawyer. Imagine our youth spending 8years of their lives in university and still our Government don't trust on their expertise rather they travel out of the country..
At this juncture, I will like to call on the government at all level to look into this and find a lasting solution to it.

Lastly our government should stop sending the talented ones away by sending them aboard for training and failed to establish/provide where they will be discharging what they've learnt or the skills they've acquired upon their arrival. If we can do this, I believe that few years to come Nigeria will be the greatest country of the world while others will be on the queue at our back.
