EducationRe: Nairaland Educational Debate: Winner :::ALICIAKEYS::::: by Samtolly4JESUS(m): 1:25pm On Oct 26, 2013
Tertiary education also referred to as Higher education is the educational level following the completion of a secondary school. Tertiary Institutions include Universities as well as institutions that teaches specific capacities of advanced learning such as polytechnics, colleges, nursing school amongst others. [1]

Now, if we were to describe Nigeria in all honesty, we would say she is a developing third-world country thoroughly stricken with ignorance and battered on most sides with poverty.

Back to the course of the essay; Should tertiary education be free in Nigeria?

Of course Yes!

Tertiary Education should be free as a right. The government already fund primary and secondary school comfortably, there is no logical reason why it should stop there. The usefulness of an ordinary secondary school certificate is fast advancing into oblivion in this 21st century. The country needs all the intellect and brain it can garner to make a better society. By giving free tertiary education, the government would provide a level playing ground for everyone.

An average Nigerian has barely enough to afford a decent three square meal. Already depraved on standard living, it will be sheer injustice to deprive such of quality education to better himself. School should not be about who has money, it should be about who's smart and motivated enough to attend. Precious brains waste away on the streets on the basis of lack of school fund. Pure injustice!

Yes! I understand Knowledge is precious and it must be in exchange for something, but must the exchange be in monetary value? Aren't there a thousand and one way to recompensate the Government for free educational fund? An opponent might even argue further that tertiary education should be subsidized and not made completely free. As logical as this may sound, it is highly unfeasible in a corrption-feasted country like Nigeria. So called subsidized federal universities now charge about #50,000 for merely acceptance fee. Most state universities also demand around #200,000 as fee per annum. How ridiculous! I repeat, until tertiary education is free in Nigeria, it might never be affordable. It high time we paid attention to the brain and not the money!

I cease the imagine what would have happened to Young Goodluck Jonathan who had no shoes if Education wasn't free in his days. Same goes for most of our prominent leaders and statesmen who had no rosy background. Still baffles why they've failed to reciprocate this invaluable gesture of free tertiary education. Forever will i commend sages like Obafemi Awolowo who knew the gross importance of free education at all levels especially to a developing country like Nigeria.

Ignorance is darkness; Education is light. Is it really wise to sell this 'light' to the fortunate few only?


You already know the answer.

Thanks.

Olastep1: @Samtolly. You're indeed a genius. You really sent your audience[including me] into the deep seas of knowledge and creativity. Seriously, you wrote an excellent piece. I want u to make OAU proud by winning the finales.

Nevertheless, i wish to chip-in on your article

please, take note


for example @Sam. you cant have people. Try this 'This explains why we have heard some people referred to as 'Evil Genius'. And again, you can look for a more suitable word other than 'some people'.


Again 'anyone' is the best in this phrase. The reason 'anybody' cant be use here is because of the verb 'can'. Assuming you stil want to apply it, let it be- This Further reiterate that 'anybody could' choose to be a genius.
instead of Single, write One. I know you understand better. And also, since that's a similitude, i think, let it be 'choosed' not 'chose'.

God bless You Sam. You are meant for great..., greater...., greatest heights. Wishing you the Best. Yours Sincerly, Ola
What more can I say sire? You're the best! Your critique is succinct and reproving. I love it. God bless you too.

By the way, don't tell me you aint studying English sire?

I'm wowed! I never really envisaged this. It came as a pleasant surprise.

I'm impressed at the erudition and brilliancy displayed by the contestants. I must confess I almost got convinced by the points of the opposing team. Lol.

I personally commend Davo93 and ElliotWiz. You might not have made it to the top 4 but I must say you guys are goooood! Oluwatola, Aliciakeys, Oma4U, You rock big time!

Its also a great honour contesting side by side with the legendary Mazi Omenuko. I hail sire.

The distinct judges have depicted a high degree and proficiency and sincerity. Fynest, you always have my Ups!

Cheers!
