Due to the present poor state of Nigeria, bad leaders, hardship, unemployment, poverty and hunger, alot of Nigerians have come to a conclusion that School Is A SCAM.
Though they’re not entirely far from the truth. But in reality, School is not a scam but the Nigeria Educational System in particular, is.
Somehours ago, Nigerian singer Simi took to her Instagram page, questioning the importance of formal education in Nigeria.
She wrote,
EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM IS SO SH*T. MOST OF US CAN’T EVEN REMEMBER WHAT WE WERE TAUGHT IN ALL THE MANY YEARS WE SPENT IN SCHOOL.
“PEOPLE HAVE POTENTIALS AND TALENT NOT TAPPED INTO “BECAUSE IT’S NOT PRESTIGIOUS ENOUGH” THEN THEY SPEND YEARS LEARNING SOMETHING THEY DON’T CARE ABOUT.
“FORGET EVERYTHING RIGHT AFTER AND END UP DOING SOMETHING ELSE WITH THEIR LIVES.
“WHAT’S THE POINT THEN? WHO DID THIS TO US?
And she’s right!
In fact I personally sees Schooling in Nigeria as a process of wasting half of one’s life to learn how to waste the remaining half after graduation.
If you ask me, I think the most important thing is basic education. Which is the ability to read and write properly.
And if you couldn’t learn how to read and write during your Primary and Secondary School period, forget about it!
Don’t bother going to the University to waste your time and your parents resources. Kukuma go learn handwork, fishing or farming..School is not for you.
School helps your logical reasoning in solving problems. But unfortunately in Nigeria we do more of theory than practical and that’s why we’re so messed up.
Nigerians should be allowed to study a single course of their choice instead of wasting our time with 20 different courses.
End up jobless after graduation. Literally programming us to fail and be miserable las las.
Nigeria Education System is so frustrating. Imagine I was forced to study Science subjects from Jss1 to SS1 when I’m not one. But in Western countries, nobi so.
School is not for everyone but Education is very important. If book no gree enter ur head, go and learn handwork my bro.
If you’re waiting for our criminal Politicians to better this country, you dey waste your time.
Some of them doesn’t have School Certificates. Even una President no get WAEC result.
He’s literally ruling us with Nepa Bill. U can imagine. Chai we don suffer for this country.
Before I wrap up this piece, I will like to explain to you guys the difference between School and Education.
I know some of you are already wondering the difference between the two words.
The difference between SCHOOL and EDUCATION is this. School is a way to obtain education.
School can also be define as a place of education. On the other hand, education refers to learning or teaching.
Therefore, apprenticeship is part of education. In fact apprenticeship have raised more millionaires in this country than Nigeria Schools.
So my brothers and sisters no let anybody deceive you o. If your head no fit carry book, go and learn handwork o.
School is not a scam but the Nigeria Educational System is! The country is hard already, don’t make it more harder for yourself! Use ur head.
