You think corruption is our [b]only [/b]problem then why is Malaysia equally corrupt doing better and equally growing.

A bad system brings bad result

A good system brings good result

like begets like. A snake cannot give birth to a lion,NEVER.

You got it wrong; corruption is a by-product of a society that has gotten its values wrong. Like I said before the problem is not in the systems we have. Although they are not perfect (and non is) they can still get the job done given a better society. Take our education system to America or Japan and it will still run better than it does here. We need to clean up the society. Our problem is insincerity; we pay lip service to our development. We claim we want change but on Election Day we vote on sentiments: North or South, Not born rich or born rich, Christians or Muslims.

How can you say a system is bad when you have not implemented it sincerely and have consistently starved it of funds?

Here is a simple analogy, assuming your TV could not turn on during a low voltage situation. Do you then assume that the system (the TV) is bad and buy a new one? Even if you buy a new TV, at very low voltage the new system (new TV) will still not work, leading to waste of time and money. To conclude that your TV is bad, you have to first provide it with adequate power via your generator or connect it through a powerful AVR. Until the TV is supplied with rated voltage and it still does not turn on, only then will it be reasonable to conclude that the system (the TV) is bad.

We cannot assume that our Education system is wrong until we have fully implemented it sincerely and wholeheartedly. Only then can we objectively analyse the problems of the system.

Kobojunkie:

@Jmaine, I suggest you go back to school and learn how every statement EXISTS within some context

You would need to RE-POST the exact line where you have me actually STATING the above as you accuse me. I have explained that I NEVER SAID THAT. I only picked one particular instance to expound on the corruption part of the problem and BOOM, the BLIND BATS OF NAIRALAND decided all on their own that @KoboJunkie said Corruption is the problem. PLEASE LEARN TO READ-- It SAVES Time and Bandwidth.

[s]Do you realize how this makes all else you have posted USELESS TO THE DISCUSSION[/s] for this one mistake you made here??

jmaine:

You can do better , stop hiding under the cloak of a vague statement , my response was to all . So sad you picked only a point out of all  to come to a conclusion cos you felt it suited you and could form a part of your defense  . double faced people are not meant to be listened to cos they are unstable.

My post was for all Blind buhari apologist. no apologies mademoiselle.

Education is the bedrock of development. But unfortunately Education in Nigeria is bisected with myriad’s of problems. These includes; poor
funding and thus poor educational infrastructures, inadequate classrooms, teaching aids (projectors, Computers,
Laboratories and libraries), paucity of quality teachers and poor / polluted learning environment. In addition to these
inadequacies, our school system is plagued with numerous social vices such as examination malpractices, cultism,
hooliganism and corruption.

Babzilla:

that's the Nigerian way 4 all y'all.

1. Adopt(copy or borrow) an existing system from another society where it has served them effectively for years.

2. Run with it without improving on it or creating any means for sustainability.

3. Ruin that system

3. Declare that system to be a failure then go back to 1.
