Education › Re: Senate Insists On 16 Years As Requirement For Tertiary Institution Admission by Thephilosopher1: 12:36pm On May 02, 2024

Proway:
Go to some medical schools today you will find out that 40% of the Doctors graduate between the age of 20 and 22.
You are just deceiving yourself, in my daughters school in federal unity school, 7 of the 10 best students in SS1D are 13 years.
Most kids around me enter medical school @14years and 15years .
Some of you will continue to live in fools paradise.
You are here complaining, but still allow your 10years kids destroying themselves in the internet but interested in attacking people that invest similar time in quality education in mathematics etc.
For your information, my 13year old kid in SS1D is the best in her class and will write GCE this December and Jamb next April and be in medical school @ 14years.
Keep complaining and crying

So much pain and bitterness in your heart. Why brandishing your comment over all those that differ from yours. Just state your opinion and go away.

Thank you so much Kaycee. You couldn't have said it any better. I gave similar admonition to parents on the thread of senate respose to the university age saga.
Before you get into reproduction you must know that you are getting into a minimum 20 year project. If you are not willing to put in the necessary work in the nurturing and upbringing of a child, it is better not to reproduce, it is not compulsory to reproduce, after all, human beings are not endangered species.
Every couple must aim at bringing forth offsprings who are at least a step ahead of them, not in terms of education or wealth, rather in terms of being a higher evolved life, with a better self awareness and superior consciousness.

You are on point my brother. Most Human beings of our time have lost their sense of purpose as regards child upbringing. They think rushing children through school is all there is about raising children. All the people I know who were rushed through school from primary to university are confused, empty and clueless about life. There is something called Lifesense, a certain meditative and insightful worldview (weltanschauung). It is very important that before you push your child into the world, take time to imbibe in them a profound sense and understanding of life. You don't get this by going to the university at 16 and below. Nowadays even 25 years old pupil is still childish. I live close to a campus, I see them babying around in the school. By experience I realised that the older you are the better able you are at understanding some some difficult courses.

Those parents that rush their children through school are just preparing them for the job market and not for life. Most people think that their job, marriage, education, business, etc is life, no, all these are just accessories to life. Beyond all these there is life.
Parents, prepare your wards for Life and not for the job market. When they have a profound sense of life, they will certainly earn a living either by being employed or by being self employed. Starting school at 18 is good but if it is in my hands I will push it to 20. The additional two years will be for acquiring one or two skills for a year and the other year for an intensive meditation and yoga practices for a wholesome development of the body and mind.
There is no point rushing children through life. Rushing them through life means getting them to the finish line quicker and the finish line of life is the grave.

But why are parents rushing n pushing there kids even at 14years to enter universities?
I think this whole drama started when government fail to checkmate the activities of NAPAS (private schools and there owners) when they stylishly aborted primary 6 in there schools and allow children to jump classes. Some parents will want there children to be in primary 4 and write common entrance examinations all in the name of brilliance or 'my child no book"
In private schools a primary one child will be using and learning primary 2 reader and textbooks etc....does that make sense?
What is the essence of our 6-3-3-4 system if they want to go for 16years? Can such child who should still be under parental care handle the pressures that comes with campus life?
Government should act fast n do what is needed to restore lost glory in the education system.

[quote author=EleventhWeirdo post=129701949]Good. Now, Government should remodel our polytechnics as technical training institutes for certificated courses like modern welding technology, construction designs and carpentry, automotive repairs and product management. And Government should fund the training institutes heavily. These courses can take our young population to Europe and Dubai to make money. We should forego empty paper qualifications and only professional courses like Medicine, law, pharmacy etc. should be taken at government universities. Trust me, we will say bye bye to graduate unemployment in 10 years to come.

You nailed it. When I see what happens in schools in the name of education I weep. Parents sending children to school just to fulfill all righteousness. No plan on developing the human being from within, everyone pursuing shadow, wanting to survive better than the next door neighbour.

MEN! beware of DNA test
I am totally against infidelity in marriage especially as it concerns true paternity. But see, this DNA thing is not reliable. Anyone can do anything in the laboratory, write whatever and present to you, then if negative you start killing yourself. The DNA process can also be faulty. If you love the woman you married trust her.

Listen attentively

Human beings live their lives at different levels of CONSCIOUSNESS and EXPERIENCE, and for most people Sense Happen to them at the evening of their lives unfortunately. Life is always in a constant state of change; when you were young you think your experience and positions at that time is the ultimate truth, but as you grow older you realize that you were actually foolish, like this, our conclusions and assumptions change over time.
I bet that the Man in that story had no intention of not taking care of his family, he only acted according to his level of consciousness and experience at that time.

For the wife and her children, let them do for the man what he could not do for them: forgive him, accept him and give him the chance to die a changed Man.

Most of them are bundles of accumulated disaster. Intellectually unproductive, with a very silly and myopic idea of what it means to be a woman. Destroyed by social media, spoiled by irresponsible parenting. Wasting their time on frivolities, and when old age dawns on them they look for an unfortunate man to wife them.

Being single mother means shouldering responsibilities that normally should be handled by two people. I agree with her not necessarily because of the gender in question but because you can't successfully juggle too many balls which is what single motherhood is all about. Many single dads are not spared either.

Exactly. Ask your elders and they will tell you. When you are young you question marriage but when you get old your emotions will dominate you. Then you will earnestly desire to be with someone in a committed way. Now that you are young your hormones are dominating you.

Romance › Women Are The Beauty Of Creation by Thephilosopher1(op): 7:05pm On May 14, 2023

I cannot imagine a world without women. if there were no women, men would have set the whole world ablaze with their masculine energy. When men rage in anger, the tender love of a woman can douse it. Women are like a fragrant flower. If it is well nurtured it will blossom and release it's fragrance. Unfortunately, many women do not realize that they are the beauty of creation, many of them succumbing to the waywardness of men who just want to use them for mundane gratification. Men have a propensity to be wayward but not so with women. Men are like butterfly; they want to perch on every flower, but within every woman is a natural desire to settle down with a man that truely loves her and when she comes into a house it becomes a home. Many women have nobody to take care of even their fundamental needs of life and this has led many of them into doing negative stuffs in other to make ends meet. Many women have never been loved even by their families. Many women are into prostitution because the male dominated society has failed. It is so painful and unfortunate that in our time women have to work as hard as men just to survive, many of them have become the sole bread winner of the family. My heart bleeds with compassion for all the women who have lost the natural sense of womanhood because of some ugly conditions of life they are battling with. Men should realize this fact and begin to see women from a different view point.
STOP OBJECTIFYING WOMEN
STOP BEATING WOMEN, IT HURTS SO MUCH
IF YOU KNOW YOU WILL NOT MARRY HER, DON'T HAVE CARNAL KNOWLEDGE OF HER
SHE WANTS TO FEEL LOVED NOT SEXED
THEY, LIKE EVERYONE ELSE ARE LIMITED IN EXPERIENCE AND CONSCIOUSNESS SO DON'T SCOLD HER, APPRECIATE AND CORRECT HER IN LOVE.

When we talk about justice, most people expose their ignorance of the true meaning of the term "justice". To put it simply, when we call for justice upon somebody, it means that the parties involved should be given a fair hearing, and that anyone found guilty should be penalized and anyone found not-guilty should be acquitted. Justice for someone does not mean the person should be exonerated; if the person is tried and found guilty, then justice for him or her means giving him/her the commensurate punishment as stipulated by the law.

This is what I think.
She does'nt want her loved ones to feel bad, therefore resorted to using soothing words to put down those farewell speech.
Suicide is a direct consequence of prolonged depression. The thought of suicide cannot cross the mind of someone who is exuberant with life. While we bemoan this unfortunate incidence, let's take note that our actions and inactions toward people all add up to depress upon the mind; ultimately leading to suicide, or at least the thought of it.
Always check the person next to you.

Family › Life Realities You Were Deceived To Believe by Thephilosopher1(op): 6:50pm On Feb 07, 2022

No one really know by his/her own knowledge and experience; the truth of these life issues:

1. YOU DO NOT KNOW WHO GAVE BIRTH TO YOU:
This might sound bizarre but that is the existential truth. What if the people you have for long known to be your parents call you one day and tell you that you were adopted? You were unconscious when you were being delivered. You could be made to accept anybody as your parents.
Your true parents (especially your mother) know for sure that you are their child; they witnessed it. But for you, nature made you unaware of your delivery. Don't counter me with DNA TEST argument; doctors can write anything and make you believe it (BELIEF IS NOT KNOWLEDGE).

2. YOU DO NOT KNOW YOUR AGE AND BIRTHDAY:
Every one of us celebrates birthday at a point during the year cycle. What if your mother calls you one day and tells you that your true birthday is the day before or after the day you have for long believed to be your birthday, or that your true year of birth is the year before or after the year you have for long believed to be your year of birth?
Certainly you came into this world on a particular day, month and year but nature made you unaware of it, you can only believe what your parents told you- (BELIEF IS NOT KNOWLEDGE).

3. YOU DO NOT KNOW WHETHER YOU HAVE SIBLINGS AND IF YOU HAVE, YOU DON'T KNOW THEM:
Even if you witnessed the moment your mother delivered two of your supposed siblings, well, you know for sure that two of them are siblings but you don't know if you are their sibling because you don't know whether it is the same woman that delivered all of you.

There are many issues like this but let me stop here.

What do you think about this?

Romance › Is Marriage A Necessary End? by Thephilosopher1(op): 8:29pm On Dec 28, 2021

Having been following the recent trends on marital issues across the country, I have decided to share my reflection on the subject of marriage. My thoughts shall be coming largely from an existential point of view. It is going to be succinct, so kindly read meticulously.

Human beings need to fulfill certain needs in life so as to live a happy life. These needs come to us at various degrees of intensity. They are altogether important but each of them come to different people and at different times unequally. Some of these needs include food, shelter, clothing, education, good health, marriage, car, relationship, etc.
Now coming to marriage, we created the institution of marriage to satisfy a certain kind of need. Nevertheless, the need for marriage is naturally not equally strong in everyone. Moreso, the need for marriage is long lasting for some people while for others it is just for a while. Humanity has come to that age where marriage should be sanctioned based on individual need and not just to fulfill a socio-cultural obligation.

Therefore, I advocate that anyone who wants to consider going into marriage should first attain a satisfactory level of self mastery so as to know how strong and how lasting the need for marriage is for him or her. If you think you need it, go for it, otherwise, just be.
