*STARTING TOO EARLY HAS ITS SERIOUS RISKS TOO!*

The boy with the highest JAMB score this year won't be going straight to the university after all; at least not to Unilag, his preferred school - he is below 16.

Some are boiling over and cursing JAMB, citing the contrast of 'saner climes' and how Unilag and schools with similar admission restrictions are backward and awkward.
Let me say that I support Unilag's policy. Five years ago, before I had a child in a university, I probably would have seen the policy as anachronistic too, like others. People generally don't get informed easily in Nigeria, especially in expert issues. Most expert knowledge is encased and inaccessible to the public. Child education is an expert knowledge.

Education is far more natural and expansive than most people think and it can put your child at a disadvantage and even risk if you ship them off into certain academic environments before they are naturally ready. In my days, you couldn't be admitted into Primary 1 unless you were six, a standard still used in Germany. It obtained in Nigeria until the Middle Class grew into parenthood and mothers became collared workers who were no longer available for their children until 5pm. That was when Kindergarten schools took off, pretty more as Crèches or Day-Care. They were generally derisively called, 'Jelesimi', which means, 'Spare the home some peace', because they were designed just to keep the kids out of the home for a while and get them engaged. The intent was not to key them into mural education.

However, things grew out of hands and kids began yo get drilled with arithmetics at the age of four. This happened mostly because the minders of those children were not professional teachers; they overburdened and over-educated the poor children. And of course this seemed quite in order to our rabidly egoistic and competitive society: 'My child is only six and he is in Primary 4, his age mates are in Primary 1'. Thats how we are all tempted to be. What the parent does not know is that a deficit is building up in the child.

Education is essentially polishing the flow of a child with society even as he recognises his individuality. In that process, the child is equipped with tools of thoughts, chief among which is mathematics - the pure language of rationality and science, English; the language of business, politics and of the international. As a child's word is shaped immersed in that expanding pool, he is expected to be able to solve problems with increasing skills. At a point, he is expected to he able to identity and tackle problems common to the society at large. This process has humanity itself at the centre and in understanding humanity, age is important - experience comes with age. That is not something you hurry a child through or he will be good in the classroom but socially ill-adjusted. If your child is maladjusted socially, his education is almost meaningless - and there are many brilliant kids in that category today.

When your child gets into the university, he is absolutely in an adult environment. He will be confronted with all the isms at once. He will be up against atheists, drug addicts, revolutionaries, pacifists, extremists, sex addicts, homosexuals and a full assortment of characters and belief systems. He will meet with people who hate their parents, girls who have vowed never to marry, boys who think women are playthings. He will share intimate spaces with them. The university is a battle ground, not an environment you want to plunge a child into, is it? He may come out with a First Class, mind you, but he could be useless to himself and end up bitter with everybody especially those who sent him into that school too early. Some can cope of course, but they are few and I think education planners who have a duty to the public have a right to play it safe in this area and assume that those few kids are negligible in number.

If your child ends up finishing from school very early, let them go into a day school to learn programming, carpentry, piano or even 'mechanic'. A fresh vista on life will be open to them and they will appreciate life in a way no money or 'school' can buy. They call it Gap Year and it makes sense. If will help make your child a lot more well-rounded. If you push them hard and ahead too fast, you may have to carry them virtually all their lives. That's why you see so many of these students get pressed into dangerous lifestyles as soon as they get into school. One I know about, a girl, fell into a group smoking weed and all that. An unusual number are checking in for psychiatric treatment. When they get married, they report their spouse to their parents or pastors on weekly basis because their minds are cooked too rapidly. It is raw within, but done on the outside. There is a report out there that the most brilliant students are usually not very successful in life generally.

So, parents, life is not just about good classroom grades and a total-racall intellect. Go for full-blown success, not just academic records. Doesn't that make sense?

Age is not maturity tho!! !

This guy na idiot.

Why is this mugu killing himself before a champions league and Europa league final

Waiting for Freezer and his so called fans who will drag church leaders into every matter. Lest I forget, my sincere condolence goes to the bereaved family,

Useless country, wey dey always make exam be like world war

I feel really dissapointed, the decision he made wasn't the right one. Suicide doesn't end pain it transfers it to the people you love. Failure isn't always "failure" sometimes we need to fail to teach us lessons and give us experience. I feel that this may have also been due to the pressure placed on him by either of his guardians or anyone close to him. Who am I to assume anyway. Hope his family finds closure and hope he left a note.
Anyone reading this. If you see anyone with signs of depression or someone that has suicidal tendencies don't insult them, don't tell them oh look at others that have a worse life than you they aren't thinking of doing what you are thinking of doing you are being ungrateful. Trust me it goes deeper than that. There is a warm and peaceful feeling you get when you know someone cares about what you are going through. Give them something to look forward, ask them what they look forward to. Make sure they hold on to that, don't give them an empty it gets better, show them it does.
Remember through the darkness like breaks through. Be that light in their darkness ♥

noni14:
rip atleast u die for a reason .

Died for what?
A kid of 19yrs taking his life and you giving him thumb up that he died for something.

Godisreal:
Am coming

I'm not Am

Impatient is killing so many people

Spirit of suicide everywhere, lord we ask for ur comfort.

oh

Ajoboss:
sorry sir..
Which one is first?

First mbbs examination is just normal 100level results in which some schools have a rule of not less than 50 in cumulative of the core science courses. While some schools choose a high CGPA 4.5 minimum.

Why kill yourself, when the chances of the 119 that passed becoming doctors are still narrowed,a repeat would have save the situation. RIP

I know how it feels.
I only had a resit and I nearly lost it cos it happened in my final year.

Dafaq is wrong with these lily-livered youths that can't accept failures?

cosmatika:
Medicine is not for the feeble hearted. Someone must have pushed him into doing medicine. More than 70-80% of the people that pass through medical school fail at one point or the other, yet we persevere. Paediatrics nearly gave me a nightmare, but I knew it was a matter of time

70% is gross exaggeration, speak for yourself.
And this incidence has nothing to do with studying medicine.

BLUEJAYY:
You're lucky to have supportive people who didn't give up on you. Some of us weren't so lucky.

I got to 500l and was really stressed out it affected my health. Plus, I got to experience the clinical scenario and I was forced to admit to myself it wasn't for me.

Anyway I would have scrapped through just to get the degree and go into something else, but I was overwhelmed by my health issues.

I fought to keep going but I knew I'd fail the MB, for the first time. I had to drop out, sadly. I didn't even consider repeating as I knew it'd have been worse. I needed help.

I didn't get help though, rather backlash from family which was so detrimental to my psychological health, I went into chronic depression.

I can never be the same again. I'd have moved on to something else like you did if I had the needed support. I had to start from scratch, all by myself. I've always been a fighter so, though I had suicidal thoughts, I couldn't imagine myself going through with it.

It'd have been easy to get these pills and OD on them, then sleep and never wake up again but that'd be painful to the one person that actually showed concern and empathy. Also, I'm a survivor, I wouldn't do that.

I didn't have anybody to support me only God. Everything i did, I did it on my own. You must believe in yourself, it's a story to tell. Life is full of ups and downs like an elevator
