 Akpa ni isi! Nostalgic times back then when the enthusiasm and quest to acquire education was @its peak. However, politicians have made this zeal die down that many young people today see school as scam because of the bastardization of every facet of a national life. Imagine a politician earns far better than a university professor that rigs election for him or her. 30 Likes 4 Shares |

Yes,not necessarily leading in d area of politics, or governing the nation or state some went on to be managers and founders of industries and companies, some became pastors and imams, some got government jobs and led in their various departments and capacities..... Some became parents and were leaders in their respective families.... 8 Likes |

Dbeautyy:he image is titled "Nigeria history: Historical picture of some Northern students learning in school". This picture depicts a historical scene in Nigeria, specifically showcasing students in Northern Nigeria engaged in a learning environment, likely outdoors, with a teacher at a blackboard. The blackboard in the image reportedly displays the date 22/12/1937, indicating the approximate time the photograph was taken. 1 Like |
