According to Nigerian journalist, Jide Taiwo;
'I think Nigerian kids are overschooled. Parents send them off as earlier as 1 and they spend the next 20 years of their lives in classes and lessons and holiday coaching and summer coaching and all what not'.

Can't blame the parents. When you sometimes have to do two jobs each just to make ends meet, you'll have no option than to send off your baby to school even as early as 3 or 6months.

What do u expect when companies these days want to employ a 24 or 25 year old with 10 years working experience?

I totally agree. The poor kids close from school by four o'clock and some still do extra lessons at home. Still our educational standard is nothing to write home about

I hear it's done to prepare the child for the future rigors of office work.
If you send the child to school at age 3 he'll stay in classes with children he's way older than. Na during puberty he go suffer am pass: he'll outgrow the rest of his peers first.
