Well, what might work for someone might not work for you.

If it’s like that, MC oluomo will not send his children to America to study, instead he will have allow them to take over NURTW
The moral of this story is that success can be achieved without formal education and not that the outcome of his action will be the same for everyone.

Hello guys

So my Aunty works in the civil service and years ago when she applied for the job, she filled in a wrong date of birth only to findout latter on that she is alot younger than what she actually filled and this will mean her retiring earlier than she actually should. so please how can this be corrected urgently pls ?

She will be retiring earlier. She didn't make a mistake, she only wants to fraudulently reduce her age to stay longer in service.
The day she tries to correct it, her file will be bookmarked and she may even be kicked out before her time.

Schooling is just a means of acquiring formal education.

His experiment was an informal education.

getting a university degree is not the same as getting educated.

Your social class and background make a huge difference.
Use of English is a proxy measure of education in Nigeria rightly or wrongly. That is largely determined by social class

He had an uncle who was a Professor and another who was a doctor. Fela's cousin is Wole Soyinka

I am sure he grew up among many kids of higher socio-economic background in Nigeria

If you went to secondary school in the 60s and 70s you are better educated than many degree holders today

So because Fela did not send Femi Kuti to school so he(Femi) should not send his son to school.
Some people are reasoning anticlockwise

Femi definitely miss out. You cannot compare the quality of education which Femi would have had to the education of today. Education is not only about certificate put exposure to better opportunities. It is possible that Femi would have been a global star with wider appeal than who he is today. Fela though had the opportunity of being sent to school even abroad but use his own son as an experiment. Femi is highly intelligent and would have been worse than Fela if not because he reborn himself

This contradicts what fela said about you sir. When he was asked in one of the interviews he granted during his lifetime about why you didn't go to school, he said you are a dullard.... I am sure the clips of the interview are in the public space

Felt attended Trinity College London not Trinity College Oxford. The difference is important because Trinity London is one of the oldest music schools in the world, far ahead of the music department of Trinity Oxford which provides a general liberal arts education. This mistake is quite common. Even the famous Washington Post made the same mistake.
