Wicked World! This is why Ambode bought those cars but sadly they would not be used to pursue robbers and criminals but to carry oloshos to beer parlour and joints!

Many Criminals and sinister in Lagos State.

"Education is not a way to escape poverty - It is a way of fighting it."Julius Nyerere, former President of the United Republic of Tanzania once said.

To further necessitates the value and importance of Education in a man's life, particularly in fighting extreme poverty and hunger, the United Nation explicitly involve "Education" as one of the 8 Cardinal key areas of the Millennium Development Goals (MDG).

Yes! in the past, Education is the easiest way to escape poverty in Nigeria and probably in the world over, but seems the situation has suddenly changed in this part of the world. Education alone made many of our Leaders, what they are today. Many enjoyed free tuition fee, free meal, free scholarship overseas, and in fact free jobs waiting before they graduate.

Now the story is no longer the same, those who are chasing books pants down now are usually saying "Had i know" after many years in the job market.

On graduation day, light envelopes of merely #20,000 are given to best graduating students and first class graduates through an archaic award price, awarded many decades ago and failed to be reviewed.

On graduation day, first class graduate becomes the cynosure of all eyes, the whole day is about him, the press are after him for a short interview of "How he or she made it against all odds".

Professorial accolades, plaques and handshakes without cash is all what many usually get. The future blinks, the father and mother sitting far on the chair are thinking may be their worries would be reduce, but hell no, it has just started.

Welcome to Nigeria, where the Illiterate driver mocks a university student by telling him "Go and Come back now, you would come and join us later".

Welcome to Nigeria, where a girl that won a University's Debate competition was given small cash and a laptop while the one that won a beauty contest got an exotic car.

Welcome to Nigeria where it would take 50 years, for a Senior Medical Consultant to make 180Million Naira. Yes, 50 good productive years. An average consultant in Nigeria earns 300K monthly, multiply that by 12months, what you get is 3.6M. 3.6million for 50years gives 180Million...

Smiles! that's what Linda Ikeji makes in 6month, that's what Davido's get for just few shows. In fact that's a small amount that our useless politicians give as tip-off for contracts. Small money they use to erect Mansions, Hotels and Petrol stations on our streets.

Hmn, the truth is that Education is no longer lucrative, no longer profitable, huge investment in it does not guarantees an equally huge yield. May be it safe to believe the word of Mark Twain, that says "Education is the path from a cocky ignorance to miserable uncertainty".

Yes! take it or leave, academic brilliance is no longer enough to put food on the table, if you don't have parent that are ready to support you.

Dear Nigerian Youths, I leave you all, with the word of Jim Ron that says; "Formal education will only make you a living; but self-education will make you a fortune." Be guided!!!

Have a blessed Day.

Micronut.... May you turn to MACROnut ....
But I don't know any other song we can sing again in this land than that of HOPE...

Ameen! And you too my brother... The country's status is undescribable or Indescribable as the case may be. Utterly beyond normal explanation.

Still available friends!

And You think Nigeria is not Finished? When we are not only sitting on a keg of Gun powder but also using a stainless steel-plate to administer the powder to every single poor man on the street.

How i wish we are the future leader, as we were made to believe, many years ago. But sadly, today's Leader are smartly making swift replacement with their clan each time they leave or die..
-
The next minister of finance is currently at Harvard business school as we speak, the next minister of health might probably be in John Hopkins College, Other parts of the future Executive and Legislative representative are scattered in the best Schools in the word, from MIT to Princeton to Imperial College, down to London School of Economics and Oriental studies....
-
The future leaders are everywhere now, from Accenture, to Goldman's sach to NNPC. It's sad that only the opportune thrive now and only the privileged few excel and make exploit while bulk of other great minds are wasting of. Many have become devastated, dejected and lost hope.
-
70% of those who can become the real future leaders are loosing their sanity by the day. Like seriously, more than ever, poverty stares at us now, more than before.

Last week i spoke with an Energy Expert on his research on power generation and distribution in Nigeria, was made to understand even privatization of distributing channels like IBEDC OR KEDC would never solve our problem cos as we speak, kanji dam is badly tensed, as it supports other few ones like Egbin.
-
In addition to that, only last week the University of Ibadan Teaching hospital recruited for Otunba subomi balogun Care centre, a private arm of UCH, Just 100 personnel (with outrageous salaries for 55k for midwives nurses with 9yrs experience, Medical officer with 3yrs experience for 50k salary) were needed, about 20000 applied. UCH had to stopped the application because the Teaching hospital has between just 3days, became so overcrowded, as applicants flooded the Institution, to the extent that even a plantain seller in UCH was forced to ask "Ejo kini won un se nibiyi tero fi po to bayi?".
-
That's the stage we have seemingly found ourselves, and more worrisome is the fact that it's getting more worse by the day.
-
No Fuel, Insecurity and Unrest in every neighbourhood, No job, The 18K Minimum wage of a 52yrs old govt worker at level 2 is still being bargain to be reduced. No light, corruption and ineptitude has rented our air for years...
-
There is developmental gridlock, Education has lost it's value, youths are now becoming more useless and restless by the day, the only courage we once had is the"Change Mantra" but as it stands, this is 2015, and it seems we are still where we were in 2009.

Tell me why i have to get hope again?

Tell me why my song would not change?
-
Tell me how the EFCC daily news has helped the common man on the street, the driver, the Jobless graduate with HND and Bsc, the seamstress, the artisan, the poor market woman and the local village dweller?
-
How i wish i can curtail my emotion, but the bitter truth here is that there is a serious problem in the land, the street hope stinks and oozes of a slummy future.
