Lots of things be running through my mind lately about the educational system in Nigeria.

It baffles me a lot, so I want ask these questions.

- Growing up, we were taught in school that Thomas Edison discovered the electric bulb, which is obviously false.

- Mungo park discovered the river Niger, which is also false.

- Neil Armstrong, was the first man to step on the moon, is also false.

All these false teachings was fed to every Nigerian kid, no doubt about it.

Growing up, some of us had to unlearn and relearn some of these false teachings.

Now, here is my question, does it mean, what were taught to our ancestors is also being fed to us, and will also be fed to the next generation?

Does it mean the textbooks that was read by grandpops, is the same textbook we are using till date?

Is our system of teaching static or dynamic? Does it change over time after thorough research?

Does the schools, just teach base on what is already there?

I want to know!

That's why they forced English on us
