A Journey and the Crossroads.
My skepticism about the Nigerian university educational system started way before I was admitted into Lagos State University (LASU) to study Communications. But as a Nigerian boy with a Nigerian parent, airing my views for discussion is farfetched. Till today, the last generation parents still place university education on the same shelf as literacy. This has spread to some of today’s parent also, probably because the need to survive in the economy does not give room to sit down and re-strategized since the higher level of education is not solving unemployment.
I needed a reason to be in school so I won’t easily drop out. With a little thought, I see the university system as the best and the biggest place to see like minds, share and learn skills with them and start a business ring with your crew, so I set out.
I never looked like someone that will give the university education a chance to pass through me. You can’t gang me up the unserious elements though, because my hate is intellectual. It wasn’t hard for a category to add me with the rogues. I was a rogue. And I want to bank on it in the future.
With that background, I guess you can imagine how shocking it is for me and my colleagues when I ended up in the university system. It wasn’t something I fancied. I mean, unlike some young people who fantasize to be a lecturer and mingle with young people to ‘relate’ and be excited, I will rather choose to be recruited into the 2nd world war army than to be a lecturer in the university of Charlie’s Angels.
Apparently, life is a journey, and it can be until you are at one crossroad, that you will start seeing a pattern. The university system that trained me, created a false sense of importance like the average Nigerian university system supposed to. However, I can’t underrate the effort of the Lagos State University: School of Communication, in trying to level the system with reality. They tried. I could remember, journalism was so much instilled in us that we carry the same spirit as the late Dele Giwa. The broadcast unit, to which I belong also tried but like every other institution, the practice wasn’t great. I am a practical guy, and I self-developed myself, and that must have gotten me back into the university system as the trait was noted by my mentor, Dr. Adeyemi Ridwan who facilitated my first university employment.
I got the award at the end of my undergraduate days for being ‘the most outspoken’, which should lay a background as I explain my will to try everything I could to have the first university I worked to be the best in graduating mass communication students. That was almost achieved. I was absolved as a technologist. I discovered the heart of Mass Communication in an institution is the studio, manning the space made me important. However, in the hierarchy of staff importance in the university system, the technologist is next to the sweepers. Most counted them out as non-academic staff who should be shooed away when important things happen. This was disturbing for me. I couldn’t blame how my efforts are trashed on the staff though, because the system made them believe it is ok. I was told to start writing papers for publications to grow in the ranks but I saw that as a threat to my skills that made me a studio king. Yes, a ‘king’; for students that graduated in a university with a versed knowledge of media production backed by the theories, I understand that I can operate in and out of a university system. The production personnel in the media industry are more paid than the other personnel. And how a university system (which is supposed to be a home for intellectuals) inverted the pyramid of importance marvels me. The people on top had to write papers. I have to write papers while keeping up with the fast-growing media technology to stay relevant just because I graduated as a more resourceful student in school.
It was the era the university started pushing for entrepreneurship in the system and I have wondered how this will work, so instead of writing papers, I started writing articles, apart from the ones writing about the bad curriculum, the most concerning one that spoke about entrepreneurship was the one I nicknamed enterpreneurshit.
My journey from here is the one of discovery, where did we get it wrong?


“I have become ‘MEDIA’ the antagonist of our university system”
When I was in school, I challenged myself to become a ‘media’. What this means is that, if you lock me indoor for some months with a camera and computer, I will run a tv/radio station that will run 24hrs programming with my skill, education and talent. This was fully achievable when I mastered character animation. And I talked about this idea in my underrated animation called “Plan ‘Be”, which spoke about using CGI characters to run media content (an idea I planned using to become ‘a media’). “Plan ‘Be” is also a philosophical work asking an ethical question on the creation of CGI, which today turned out to be a form of prediction and seeing the future of CGI. And last year, a movie was created whereby an actor that has died since the 90s was brought to life. CGI can manipulate reality and how can that affect perception? that’s the ethical question and more.
Growing up got me to understand the basic sense that media content creation is better done as a team. I had different efforts to create teams within the students. I create the Gohard media Movement, a female, media production team. ‘Females’, because somehow, we have more females in mass communication than men, however as brilliant as the results show they can be better than their male counterparts, the natural aura and social stigmatization draw them back from being part of the production aspect, thereby limiting their voice, and employability chances (more detail on these was covered in my article: Connecting Mass Communication Class with the Industry: The Gohard Movement Story. Read here: https://www.tekedia.com/connecting-mass-communication-class-with-the-industry-the-gohard-movement-story/ ). I also had the #team, which includes very talented male students. I discover that the students consciously or subconsciously put the skills less than their secondary focus. They see it as a hectic pastime, done only for the love of it. The implication is that they don’t put a value on the skill even if eventually they learnt it, thereby unable them to initiate entrepreneurial activities in media after leaving school. These students go back to the norm of holding up the certificate with the million others to look for a job that is not there, totally forgetting their edge. When they finally get to know the importance of the skills, they already forget the skill and had to go back to selling underwear or working 24/7 in the banking sector or even engage in something worse. I should at this point exonerate the stories that turned out fine but outside the discipline on their certificates.
When the teacher that teaches you the most value is devalued, you can’t value what was thought. That is the truth in this case. More truth to come.
The consequence of these is that the profession is now hijacked by people that get to see the value, learnt the skill and start to practice without knowing the theory, thereby becoming the fourth estate of the realm, mismanaging information and causing problems. And you can’t stop them because you didn’t teach them.
Yet, these people will never come to the universities to share their field experience with the students because the professorship system won’t pay or respect them since they are seen as ‘artisans’ and cant be reckoned with. The students then graduate and become clueless.

UCHE, my GUY
In my last article on the topic, nicknamed ‘enterpreneurshit’ (titled: WHY ENTREPRENEURSHIP CAN’T WORK IN OUR UNIVERSITY SYSTEM Read here: https://www./why-enterpreneurship-cant-work-ou-university-system-ashraff-adeyemo), the concluding part encourages every skilled person to stay off universities (esp in Nigeria) as it will just waste their time. You won’t be respected or well paid, and you are needed somewhere else where you will get all these. By staying in school, you are misleading students by giving value to them which they won’t value and will waste their own life knowing they have it but couldn’t reference it until it is too late. I mean, if you leave school, and pay separately to learn how to edit video, you will focus on the skill to get value for your money. But whoever paid for university education paid to pass exams and get the A4 paper (certificate, which in Nigeria today keep getting devalued).
Early this year, I took the step also and left the educational sector, however, not until I corrected a misconception I had about the university system.
It will be wrong to blame the Whiteman for bringing us education, what I did blame them for is giving us a template that will ruin our workforce. A template that focuses on research and thesis and not what to research. However, the Whites brought us also technical schools, and polytechnics which are supposed to populate towards industrial growth, but we misuse it. Paying university graduates higher, it reducing the workforce, everyone wanted to be in university. However, the university is for research. In the way I think it should be, a BSc holder should be for 100 graduate from the technical schools and wages and salaries are supposed to be at the same level accordingly. At the professorial stage, however, it will be clear that an individual went through education strictly for the sake of knowledge and research and not for money or just making ends mean. Correct me if I am wrong.
When I discovered this I feel I am the one fundamentally in the wrong ring. I also know I am not tangibly going anywhere in terms of promotion. How did a studio even get into the Mass Communication department in a university?

CREATE YOUR HAPPINESS: I CREATED UCHE, my Guy
Late last year, I and my technologist colleague lost a contact that will pay us 10 times what will make a year annually. The animation deal was perfect for us as my last animation work made 3 years before, was called to be screened at the Lagos animation festival. However, we lost the deal because the characters in the animation do not pass for 2020. I told my colleague, ‘bro, do you know I have the software that will produce something better since last year but the university work won’t let me update my project?’ we were deep into helping others but forgetting to help ourselves.
That’s coupled with my initial scepticism within the circle of our university system made me drop off the uni-ride. On my way home, I opened up my studio to start work and I immediately got a deal that paid me double of what I get as wages. That gave me time to work on creating a worthy character can that pass for the year.
Uche, was given the name for various reasons, taken particularly from a friend I had in school. She is brilliant and intelligent and fonds of me. And I am fond of her too because my joke never gets over her head. She is the beginning of the feeling I do have when I see a young intelligent Nigerian. How I wish, I just give them a future, so that they won’t be a waste or pass through those hurdles that do make a good person into a monster. Trust me, I won’t agree that the country is so blessed with intelligent people if I had not been in the educational circle so I won’t say I wasn’t served. But, as my hope is dim, I try to work them up to their greatness, and the feeling that I might fail to kick me in the nuts over and over.
Uche. As a Yoruba guy, the choice of an Ibo name represents the business sense of the Ibo people in Nigeria. Most of us must have seen an Ibo guy that grew from nothing on our streets and later threaten to buy our town while bringing up some other siblings in the cause, following the same trend. What does that tell you? A working template, business skill and system, something tested. I don’t see a research paper on that. I don’t see my professors bringing that to the table of university entrepreneurship table. And that is what Uche was made from. I character to represent and be the face and inspiration of Ashnimator studios 1.5; the business scheme to launch my studio into business and not just a place or art and learning; to Ashnimator 2.0

Righting the wrongs
In this journey, I figured out that it has become harder to ignore my immediate past. All my students that noted my move had always commented ‘but you are a ‘teacher, which I will just smile too, for I only understood that it was a random wind that took me into education. I might have learnt a lot and that is just what it is; life lessons to understand Nigeria better. Nevertheless, I developed a passion unknown to me. And I got to start linking the crossroad and found a pattern. I had a history of teachers; my grandmother was a trader, then a teacher. My mum is a nurse, then a teacher (still a lecturer). And I have always argued that this country can only be solved when the educational system is consciously reformed towards development AND the media is programmed to reinforce education both overtly and subliminal. That might explain why my #endsars stance is unique.
The media cannot be sanitized if those that lack the theory do handles the practical. This has pushed me and Uche to initiate the CREATE YOUR HAPPINESS concept.
Since the fundamentals of the university system and technical schools are different and we have 80% of the Nigerian workforce learning not to be a force at work in the university, how can this be fixed? Then, I have wondered why can’t university system also have a separate technical arm that will invite graduates to learn the technical skills of the theories learnt in school and encourage the students to also take courses if they wish. Mind you, this is not the same as an entrepreneurship scheme where we pretend a computer science lecturer can code. This is where we go out and seek a specialist to take the course and pay them accordingly.
These will surely boost the credibility for university education, fix the large gap, profit the students, build a true workforce, profit the university, allow for productivity within the university, makes research easier and sanitize the industry since people equipped with the theory can now face the music.
Did this idea just exonerate the university system from the failure of this country? (*laughs) not totally. Currently, I and my guy Uche being working on a proposal that will work for a university to build this idea and because a large edge better. If you are in, let's create happiness together.

UCH: WHEN AN HOSPITAL DIES
It is a happy moment after getting the news that my sister in-labour has delivered. I and my mum drove down to Ibadan to visit her. Her ward is at the top of one of the 6-floor buildings. At the base, we smiled down to the lift. As we wait with others for the lift to come around and drop it occupant for us to step in, a man came up hurriedly … “you can't go in there. The Lift cant takes you, we are still looking for a way to let out people inside as the elevator has jammed, no power to carry you unless you will wait for the elevator to rest”.

I was fascinated by his words. What I know is that when people get tucked in the elevator, it is an emergency. The only reason I wasn’t freaking out by the news was that the man was more concerned about us not getting in than the people there getting out. I looked at my mum, I wondered why she is still staying around as I know the problem should not be our problem since there is another way of getting to the top; the stairs. I saw the disappointment in her face as we turned for the stairs. She stayed at the base and inhaled heavily…The Hospital is about to tell me her story.

For months now I have been wanting to write about my experience at the UCH two months ago, but couldn’t find a way to start. Is it from my sister that just delivered that we went to visit? Will it be from my mum that we went together? Will it be from me or the hospital itself? If then how I get to start turned out to be not good enough, I only hope you get the message.

If you have not been to the UCH then you might not get the imagery I am hoping to paint with this write-up but yet this is not about the hospital, this is the story of the part of this country we do miss when we are distracted by entertainment on TV or the shenanigans of politics or sport. I am sure the same story can be told from different experiences of people walking this nation.

I wasn’t born in the UCH but that is where I opened my eyes into. The stairs, the smell, the smiling and hard faces of nurses who are to me ladies or women, the periodic appearance of doctors that I know to be men, the tall buildings and the large environment occupied by the hospital. My mum is a nurse, which should explain my relationship with the soul of the hospital. As a woman that schooled in Ibadan, and worked at UCH before We moved to Osun State after its creation, she also had many friends in the hospital. Her friends automatically are mini-mums to me, so I do jump around a lot. The Period at the moment will be between 1990-1993 where I just started schooling.

Visiting UCH 30 years after, nothing much has changed. And 30 years before then, UCH was being created, making the Hospital around 60years old, let us remember according to the World Health Organization (WHO), in 2005 life expectancy in Nigeria was put at 48 years for males and 50 years for females. Meaning, if UHC were woman, she is already dead…funny.

In a few minutes I am already on the 2nd floor. I looked back and couldn't find my mum. I traced my steps back to find her half the first-floor stairs waiting, smiling at me as I showed up again. I remember the old days where my mum drags me up the stairs as I try hard to catch up, I became sorry for her but much more sorry for myself how I thought a mother that has aged 30 years from the time in UCH will climb the stairs the same way, so I waited for her as she picked up again. It was at this moment that I got to look around to appreciate again the great hospital which as served the people of Nigeria, cured many and watched many passes away to great beyond (aka death). I paid attention to the staircase. It is old. I see wear and tear on the stone marble floor of the cases. I wondered what rocks would have gone through from the human feet that have made it depressed like the sole of a shoe overused. The depression went down so much that the iron rod used as a skeleton for the stone also has experienced the same wear-out; bent out. My mind got off and took me back to the elevators, asking my brain to determine how tired the mechanisms must have been considering what time and use have done to the stones on the floor.

It took time, but we got to the maternity ward where my sister and the new baby were. She looks tired. Yes, she just delivered but I also know the mosquitos that welcome us as we entered had a good part played. I asked her how she copes with the mosquitos, she said: “stay awake and sleep later in the day”. In my mind, I am already getting mad about the situation in the hospital, but it seems she is not that bothered about the mosquito, even though she only has spent few days in there, I know she has seen more monsters that have put mosquitos to what they literally are; ‘ants’. As touchy that I was, I wanted to know.
‘Sister, since you got here, have you gone down the floors?’, I asked her.
“No,” she replied. How can I go down, the lifts are not good and it's painful moving down the stairs. Yesterday was a mother that came with her daughter to deliver her grandchild. She is an old woman. From time to time she has been sent to get drugs or other things for her daughter in-labor. At her first journey, she’s already tired, when it was up to six times she was sent all the way down, she refused to go again”
“why?”, I jumped in
“of course, she is exhausted and couldn’t go anymore. The nurses told her if she does not go, her daughter will die, she just sat down on the floor and started crying saying ‘I can't go again’”
If I have not seen much in life, I have seen the hen that one of her numerous kids is about to die, and I can remember the pity. For a human mother, I can imagine, when you come in to get a grandchild but they told you you will lose even the daughter…
“wow, this is insane, cant the nurses help to get stuff for her…”
“NO, THEY WON’T! THEY ARE WICKED PEOPLE…”
“Nurses are not wicked people” mum interrupted, “they are just understaffed, too much on their hands and the life of others is equally important to them”.
It is not in many situations I feel connected to people, but here is my lil-sis that I used to wake to school, holding her hands tight and protecting her, now she is a lady grown into a big responsibility with natural protective and caring instinct of her own for her baby. Running from pillar to pole to get things done. I wonder if a mother that just delivered should go through all these. In a maternity ward where having male inside is frowned at, so her husband couldn't help much. I want to do something but I can't just as a stand transfixed; breathing pains in the air. Where does care start and stop for mothers in Nigeria health system? Pardon me if am just getting into the party but your long stay in it will not make a bad situation good. The experience makes human regeneration seem more like danger than a norm to me.
Mother left practising nursing long ago, and since then raised in the ranks of academicians. As a lecturer with years of experience, her students are already bosses in hospitals, that explains how I stayed that long in the maternity ward. As a doctor nurse (Ph.D. holder), things get even tighter for her, the height in educational achievement has not lessened the stress.

We are on our way out after the visitation. I engaged her, trying to prosses my experience at UCH
“Mum, with all you complain of much workload, where are those students that you guys kept graduating in the Universities across the country?
‘it is the same happening in the universities' she replied 'low hands as the government can’t pay them. So many are still looking for jobs, or already in Canada living their essence’.
I couldn’t ask more so I won't visibly be crying for my country in front of the hospital.
There is the story of a nation

It will not be out of place to place the essence of education over just emancipating man from the shackles of ignorance but also to build him into civilization. The Microsoft Encarta dictionary, captures Education as the impartation and acquisition of knowledge through teaching and learning, especially at a school or similar institution. Suffice me then to state that my hauling today is towards Nigerian institutions and not the process of learning how to read and write; those are facts no one can scratch.

If you had started the odyssey with me then you will agree with me that the definition stated above is not holistic enough as it hasn’t captured what an educated society should look like. Having that in mind, it becomes easy to create a mental picture of the society a civilized mind will create. One can be caught lying to others but what you shouldn’t be caught doing is lying to yourself.
Question: Has the school given us education? Why do you finish schooling and the best suggestion ever is still about going off to learn a trade or skill? Permit me, therefore, to say that Nigerian tertiary education is a bluff, a mere social status, an institution that people enter and joke around, a make-believe cycle that trick people into believing that they have been given a future. A system that produces automobile engineers, that can’t repair cars, not to talk of making one, a broadcaster that cannot edit their voice records or videos, nurses that cannot administer injection; the list is endless. Though this article might not be applicable to all disciplines however, the majority faculty in our education system falls under this pathetic cycle.

Just a week ago some of my students were discussing the ‘yahoo yahoo’ rave destroying the fabric of our society with me, their submission was/is pathetic. They feel the scam scheme has helped Nigerian youth to have ‘a life’. Wait…if you in any way agree with them, you are not fit to read this piece beyond this point because you are either too young, infected and corrupted. If an educational system brings in young boys that will later graduate as yahoo boys or with the belief of ‘get rich quick’ mentality, then something is wrong somewhere. Impacting is lost.

The Devil’s Cycle
It is clear that to hold important posts in Nigeria, you have to be educated. Positions that people occupying are to make decisions millions of other people in the nation. It is then understandable that educated people (and by ‘educated’ I mean people that graduated from university) run the country. That means they all have to be in the womb of the educational system before they get born to rule. But what has the mother prepared them to become? Have you seen the political scientists’ curriculum? The sociologists, communicators, and other social science subjects in the country? Are their curriculum designed to tackle (real) societal problems and enact positive changes that are peculiar to the black nation? Does our school recognizes the apparent nature of our politics and policy and groom the coming generation to fix them? And these people are to be future leaders, right? Carrying forward the irrelevances and/or cluelessness that the fathers let down to the children to put the madness on repeat.
NUC: Fathers will not be at the market square to see the head of a child loop-sided pass over
The NUC is the body that is meant to checkmate the universities so that they can perform their role of ‘education’. It will sound ridiculous asking if NUC understands what education is because they are (to be) educators and professors. Let me see your hands up if you also wonder the usefulness of professors in this black nation.
For you to be approved to run a programme in university, the NUC must accredit the programme. Ok, we all know this happens; that most universities at the point of accreditation know they have to meet up with the requirements. Due to either short of money (which is an ever standing problem), or just Blackman mentality of always trying to jump the line, the universities go around hiring make-believe equipment and loan senior staffs from other universities to pass accreditation so that they can continue producing more internally-destroyed-graduates. The fun part is that the NUC knows that this is how things are done, they know that many universities can’t meet up with the outrageous and archaic requirements which are an extension of an apparently failed system. Yet they go ahead and accredit the programme if the make-believe is convincing enough. I should also mention that a lot of money and bribes go in and out of that exercise and the ridiculous requirements keep the university at the mercy of the NUC so that they can extort from them. So how can a body that does these be able to build a sustainable curriculum that will educate the nation; education expected to engage its goal of developing the nation?

The Paperwork
I have always tried to logically track the to the genesis of this problem, will you be interested in my theory?
The colonial masters brought in education as we can’t do that ourselves; we were probably busy with building juju cults and undocumented ‘wisdom’. Their idea is understandable. Since this part of the world to them is the place where they mine slaves for exportation, exploitation and building their own world. They designed the educational system to build slave masters. Where the masters do the thinking, do paperwork (write papers, this might be the origin of the millions of useless theses we are so much concerned about to dictate hierarchical movement in our educational system), the slaves (black men who apparently owns the land) will execute the plan. And after they were gone, we adopt the system forgetting that we are no more slaves; that we need to plan from the paper (research works) to the field; that no one will execute the paperwork but us. Now, someone will blame the colonial masters. Wait, were they in league with our gods or God to colonize us? Were they not men like them? Did they have two heads and double organs? If we were not stupid like they felt, how come the history went that shameful and blames are still placed on them that ironically make them seem like superhuman that can put a jinx on others? Isn’t it time to learn and move on? Well, let’s forgive the past because we were not there and did not know how things were. Maybe forefathers actually lived on trees and the Alaafin was not exposed enough to note that mirror and gun power do not worth an exchange of a man like himself… of his race to be given out as slaves. And all those brags about voodoo…?(sigh). But this is the present. It’s almost half a century now and the curriculum is still trash while the world is moving in jet speed but our contents are from the notes from the colonial days, …ehn, our Professors?
And let’s talk about those papers that the system have been busy writing. Promotion is determined in Nigeria Universities, not on the quality of students trained but by how many papers you’ve written is an academician. Now imagine how many academicians are present in Nigeria, then imagine how many papers have been written, now imagine where we are still at… don’t cry yet.
The Wikipedia online encyclopedia defines ‘the paper’ as an essay or article, particularly an academic one, read at a conference, or submitted for publication. That does not carry enough description so we go the way of Wikipedia which defines academic papers as “a periodical publication in which scholarship relating to particular disciplines published. Academic journals serve as permanent and transparent forums for the presentation, scrutiny and discussion of research. They are usually peer-reviewed or refereed. Content typically takes the form of articles presenting original research, review articles, and book reviews. The purpose of an academic journal, according to the first editor of the world's oldest academic journal Henry Oldenburg, is to give researchers a venue to "impart their knowledge to one another, and contribute what they can to the Grand design of improving natural knowledge, and perfecting all Philosophical Arts, and Sciences.”
The important part of the definition is the ‘purpose’ of academic papers. After imagining how many papers that are written in Nigeria one will not be mistaken to believe that the growth in every sector in Nigeria will be astronomical. Is that the case? As a matter of fact, if producing paper in the literal sense of it is what is done, I mean making papers from wood, then you know by now we will be exporting papers as a major. Have we asked ourselves what these papers have done for us? Will it be hard to figure out that 90% of academic papers are wuruwuru (scams) work done for the selfish sake of promotion and dull intention of bringing intangible change? But how has the NUC fixed this after years of its failures? And don’t be thinking I am scratching the surface here, because that is not the point. If you scratch the surface in the United Kingdom (where our ‘masters’ came from), your nails will gather impressive developments from a system that is constantly checked for sanity. The efficiency and effectiveness of the educational sector at the tertiary level gives direct development to the country growth because it provides sound manpower/ Human Recourses. So why can’t the board of NUC take time from their business routines and fix us a working curriculum for the sake of the nation, our children and for intellectual pride sake? A world where every paper counts from the pen to the field? This is possible and I think it is simple considering how the value we put on professorship and the money paid to them.
Don’t get me wrong I believe in research, however, imagine a world where only research is the thing? The implication of the failure in the system of our universities is no doubt serious, it means we are on the circle on foolishness in running a country that is not planning to be slaves to others in the future. Ironically, robots powered by AI are what others think will be slaves in the future, so we wont sell even if we are in the market for slavery. If the leaders are a disgrace and their thinking faculty are always called into question then one will face the place of intellectuals: Universities. Failure of the school system is simply asking a question on how we reason as a whole.
As at the time of writing this piece, I was listening to a Nigerian ‘technopreneur’ talking about how he got to be successful, after listening to him, what is clear in his submission is that he let us know his story will not be complete without highlighting that his Nigerian education has nothing to do with his accomplishment. Must it always be like this? It always seems that to be truly successful in Nigeria, you have to shit on your degree. Can we look forward to a future where lecturers in universities shall be rewarded with the impact they have on the students? If not, in this case, it will be good if promotion and ranks are (also) given when academicians impact on the surrounding environment. If we think towards these then our curriculum shall be holistic. While many great lecturers focus on students’ development as common-sense suggests, ones that are there for money are busy writing more (useless) papers, resulting into good ones remaining stagnant and unrewarded and the bad-eggs having the glory while they run after someone daughter to relax after frustrating them. They spend their time on their personal development which has nothing to do with communal and student development and they suffer the student with a ridiculous, fruitless and irrational task to cover-up their uselessness. These silly efforts and hardship many confused, fooled, derailed and misled Nigerians went through in universities delude them into thinking they have done something in life and have paid their price enough to sit and await the fruit of their labour. These deliver to us unemployed, not-employable frustrated youths who do not have a proactive heart". And we also have yahoo boys and their advocates for product. Let us remember none of our universities makes the first 2000 in the world.


As a young man, I never thought I will be concerned about my generation this much, about the past and the future generation, about the race. I thought some older wise people that run things shall be busy with these. I thought as a troublesome young man my job is to be riding fast cars and using computers but when I look round, I see a lot of potholes and darkness in the nation then I understand where the disappointment and anger come from. If the system that builds men is corrupt then the future remains doomed. We might just leave the output for now and focus on the machine because the machine is bad. This is how I feel, and it can only get worse if things don’t get better.

It being long I posted here and the last time, i was all about a 3D work I did; I thriller for a 3D movie (about how Sango, god of thunder, actually came back to the planet to meet the extinction of men which was done by Driods and cyborgs. Kind of epic right? you can view "AGBENDE" here. I am grateful of the old views from here. My little odyssey only got me a job as a lecturer in a private university. The point is, the job has not been fulfilling. apart from moving me far from the animator's connected world, I wake up sad everyday because i feel under used training young lads on simple software. I beg of new ideas, links and updates that will make a passionate animator more fulfilling and realize the "Nigerian dream" (if there is anything like that). Plssssss...i am getting Old oo, and much have been sacrificed to build an animator, which doesnt just want to be a side artist. Pls view my latest work here

"The Room" is a 3D abstract illustration (it actually a poetic expression of a frustrated dream of an animator).

Am only here to see if someone find a way out to the slow responding tecnodroid 8. Like someone has mentioned 'maybe u bought fake'. But I doubt that. Chinko phones can b good now but claiming they now have fakes is over statement.But that's just by d way. Me use driod pad 8 and me bin loving it o. Charge fast, charges other phones, battery lasts, good body and memory no de full anyhow like my old tecno tabs. But if u open an app then go to another app, before u come back the app is gone and has to reload

After seeing this through, i believe in the existence of pro-actionists in the country. Good work tho, but this Nigerian 3D animatior (#nimator) believes he start the evolution of AI media... a world where machines will be in charge of the media with the use of 3D models... watch "Plan 'be',.. the creative plan'

Pls where can I find cost allocated to each courses as msc journalism student. I need to choose and pay but I can't find how much to pay

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bh-6Q6Y2eOI the idea of the movie "AGBENDE" still follows my theory that 21century technology Av whole lot of voodoo, spirits or metaphysics going on. Call me barbaric but am not the one that looks a way wen I can't find explanation to senerio. One can see the reappearance of man-god: Sango, in d future as absurd and fictitious but I think he will stand his ground in d era of advance technology and weaponry. And I don't expect a christain that believes in d coming back of jesus to b against me on this one. Maybe u can but don't join the scientists or the so called realists. Please watch this thriller by #nimator and I will like to get ur views on the animation and the topic created. Do you agree technology is haywire this days?
