3. what do u mean by What exactly is Education to Nigerians Shocked Shocked Angry Angry

Why are you so upset?

1.sista where are u from
2.u can define education for us, since we Nigerians don't know it

My idea of education is never ending, something one must do for the rest of ones life. My idea of education is worldwide, not just westernized. I think everywhere on this planet matters and not one group of people should dictate exactly what education is. I am not studying to become a doctor but I study for my self by reading and researching what diseases are and how people get sick. I do that because my interest is holistic healing, I am educating my self but not just from an American perspective. I don't think everything needs a drug or a shot so I have to find ways to prove that. By trade, I am a Pre-School teacher but I have many interest outside of teaching so I study many different things. To me, that is education, learning about the things that interest me and help me to understand the world that I live in as well as understand my self.


I can imagine many reason why you think I am making fun of Nigerians by asking that question but let me tell you, none of what you think is true.


I asked you Nigerians, what does education mean? what exactly is it? I asked because from what I can see, too many Nigerians, education is the only way to make good money and one must educate their self in a field that will guarantee good economic money for a long time and after they are rewarded for their education with a god job, the education seems stops there.


My only motive for asking that question to Nigerians was to see if my observation was correct or incorrect.

What exactly is Education to Nigerians. What does education mean?
