You are telling an elder state man that his utterances lack Common sense?
Someone who is old enough to be your Grand Father.

You even made a false claim that he benefited from British or government scholarship, where as the man was self taught,he never attended a formal school.

Has Pa Afe Babalola assertion that most of Nigerian graduates are more dangerous than illiterate come to been now?

His generation destroyed nigeria.

Don't mind that evil man.
Who English help?
I thought he wanted to say something helpful to the youth and society, he is here telling us how good he is in English and geography.

Re: Afe Babalola: 'Nigerian Graduates Are More Dangerous Than Illiterates' by triplechoice(m): 12:42pm On Dec 23, 2020
So true.
A poorly educated person who graduated from a university in Nigeria lives under the false impression that he or she knows it all or can know it all.
Such persons hardly accept their mistakes when you try to point out to them and would continue to repeat such mistakes until they become undone by it

This is why such persons are a danger to themselves and those close to them

An illiterate person is aware of the limitations of his or her education and usually is willing to listen and learn but some of the so called graduates we have these days in Nigeria assume they know it all and are not willing to listen and learn.

This is no longer news. It is a fact known by many already but if I may ask Afe, who are the people that made things worse in the country? Was he not part of them?

Re: Afe Babalola: 'Nigerian Graduates Are More Dangerous Than Illiterates' by odogwunaija(m): 12:52pm On Dec 23, 2020
I don't totally agree with him. It's very wrong for him to generalise because I know that there are many Nigerian graduates breaking and setting new records both in and outside Nigeria academically
Re: Afe Babalola: 'Nigerian Graduates Are More Dangerous Than Illiterates' by Stevedegreat(m): 12:57pm On Dec 23, 2020
In my own view, only 20% of what he's saying is correct the greatest part is incorrect because the most educated, I mean those who has something to offer that brings positive change in the lives of the people are not allowed get close to power. Those who are in power many of them are cultists, terrorists, recalcitrants, promiscuous, etc............The best we learned in schools is not given back to the society. That's why government is likely rules by cabals and cohorts of same kind that has become Nigeria's system of government.
Nigeria's government does not encourage education because it doesn't matter to them, they ( government ) destroy educational standard. People only now go to school for certificates.
Until the educated of positive likes mind form a chain and ready to pay the price, nothing can change.

I beg to differ a little. His points are very vague. He is using Geography to show he is smart. I know for certain that he is a Lawyer and he should do his business. Stop advertising your school which brings out Graduates of little reputation.
If a lady was to ask him about Fashion,cars and entertainment, he will flop shamefully.
Baba should not use "Nigerian graduates" but " Some Nigerian graduates ''

I can bet my left ball that Chief Afe Babalola is still being put through on how to operate his phone by one of these uneducated graduates. So him knowing the rules of English language does not make him more educated than present the graduates.

I'm not usually this aggressive when responding to nonsense, but this is the height. I'm an engineer/scientist who is into designs and calculations. Believe me if I give this man talking trash a simple 8x8matrix to resolve he will go into coma. That simply means he is uneducated.

You can't ask a fish to go into a tree climbing competition with a monkey, that plain stupidity.

Nonsense and ingredients.

this grandpa is saying rubbish...

what's the essential usage of what you have and can't procure anything that's valuable for you??

no doubt, good education is necessary, jokes apart, without being sarcastic, majority of the number of students in citadels of learning in Nigeria are vibrance, competent and well outspoken. No offense grandpa but I guess your ignorance of encounter with adequate students makes this view of your so myopic...

leave your private (advanced boarding) school and visit federal and state's...

if you no know us, no talk about us...

at this your old age, you should be reading the sacred scripture (Bible) and not talking rubbish about the education we're managing

HigherEd:


Lol what is this undecided

English proficiency isn't education. It is just one out of many very useful languages.
If you aren't a journalist, editor or an english academic, it is perfectly understandable that your knowledge of the language is common and not exceptionally professional. Just be able to write and communicate effectively without gaffing.

If I am not wrong, folks studying language still study adjectives, adverbs into their postgraduate levels.

As for geography. Perhaps I was taught about tropics of cancer, capricorn in secondary school, and my brain has simply relegated that information or it wasn't relatable enough to remember. But I find it funny the suggestion that inability to remember some topic in geography makes my entire education 'dangerous'.

If I rolled out an on the spot test in SSCE Biology, many of today's lecturers (including the OP) who aren't within the sciences would fail it woefully. And accessors would still agree I never crossed into higher education biology with the test.

E je ki awa guided o.

So succinctly put. Thank you. The man has one of the weighted voice in the country, what has he done or said to the government about the ASUU strike for the past nine months in this country? He once had access to the power, did he use it for the betterment of the public schools in Nigeria so as to produce qualified graduates that can compete with their colleagues around the world.

Undoubtedly, 30% of Nigeria students today were/are self-sponsored just to make sure they also have the opportunity for education. How would this not affect their learning cycle?

If you decides today as a Nigerian that you want to go into apprenticeship way, is almost impossible because there is no basic humanly amenities to survive. Let him use his voice to stop government officials from sending their wards to schools in overseas. If they will not do something about this erratic education system we currently have and watch Nigeria graduates in the next ten years if they will still remained half-baked.
