THE FORTUNATE PEOPLE: ARE THE ONES WITH EDUCATION

 If Education is a Scam, you can try Ignorance

Knowledge, wisdom and understanding are precursor to every greatness in life. You might be knowledgeable but if the remaining two is lacking; there will be insignificance in your actions and doings.

Wisdom is much better, but it is very useless without knowledge and understanding because people will not take you serious for who you are. More so, when you are knowledgeable and blessed with the wisdom, and eventually understanding is lacking you will be like a rudderless child.

Education in Nigeria is problematic, because many of our so called scholars are knowledgeable with vast acquired skills and certificates, but the heartbeat of education which is wisdom and understanding have been destroyed and rot in oblivion.

We have many Scholars, Professors, Academicians, Technocrats, and numbers of educationist who are not adding any value to the Peace, Progress, Unity and as well as prosperity of Nigeria as a country, but they are just like ordinary citizen without access to quality Education.

Nigeria is where it is today, simply because we have placed much value to Certificates much more than anything. Millions of Nigerian today are elite, but they are not adding any value to the country except little ones among them that make us proud Nationally and internationally.

Instead of producing Leaders, Innovators, Inventors, Genius, and Scholars, but it’s a pity that we are now producing more Armed robbers, Terrorist, Educated terrorist like Yahoo guys, Online fraudsters, Cyber racketeering et cetera,  Looters, Hypocrites and many others.

We have also produced countless of Selfish, Unpatriotic, Lazy and Foolish people with many certificates that’s useless as a result of high value we placed on Certificate over Patriotism, Hard work, Moral, Selfless service, Love, Honesty, and our inability to discover decaying potentials as a result of high corruption in our Governance and Public Service in Nigeria.

It is worth noting at this juncture that, we have leaders today who are too Callous, Greedy, Selfish, Dangerous, Ruthless, and Careless as a result of bad modeling and Criminal upbringing which is now contributing to chaos everyday of our life

Much of my time as a writer, I spent it in isolation and weeping for the incoming generation of our dear country, because we are doing nothing to make life more peaceful for them. However, it is a pity that, our leaders live for today without remembering tomorrow. But one thing is imperative, if Nigeria continues like this without addressing restiveness among Youths, lack of proper care for the needy, no affordable education for the downtrodden of our society, no good health, poor social amenities, and our infrastructures continue decaying as it is.

A time will come that, this country will be like hell for our leaders and it won’t be a safe place for anybody again. Are we going to wait till that time? or we do  something about it today by bringing succor to the life of individual Nigerians in away of providing health care, education, improve social amenities and infrastructural development which will honestly discourage many who are now carrying arms to live and survive.

Finally, we need to encourage Nigerians on the value of education that is full of Moral, Love, Unity, Peaceful co-existence, Patriotism, Selfless services, Kindness, and so much more as a way of remodeling this society away from calamities of great peril.

Change begins with me and you, take part and take charge.

God bless Federal Republic of Nigeria.
