The Glory of a Nation is in her youth and until the Nation invests her resources in the youth, her pride will be relegated. Education they say is the bedrock of any Nation. This is supposed to be the watch word of any developing Nation like Nigeria, but the reverse is the case. Nigeria education is dieing and instead of it been revived, the government deliberate on issues that are of irrelevant to the youth and the nation at large.
"Can I make this exams, I have read over night but could not cram any thing" This was the cry of a youth who slept in the class to read his book all through the night (TDB). The Nigerian institutions has not encourage the youth to be a good product outside the academic environment, because she has encouraged cramming and downloading in testing the ability of the student instead of concentrating on teaching the youth to be a good product and build the nation.
I would have been a victim, I attended an institution where our so called lecturer had to cram what is to be taught in the class and when questions are asked they have no time to respond till they are through with the downloading of what ever they have crammed. This is making the glory of this Nation to be dieing down. Professionals in a field of study may go to read on is field of profession in the institution and we discover that what is the current trend in his field is not taught in schools except the old fashion issues discussed. Youth arise we have to take the battle to save out Nation. How, When, Where.
HOW: We have to read more and research more our selves and not depend of what our lecturer will give to us. But I beg you GIGO when you are in that school, so that you can come out with a better result.
WHEN: The time is now and not for the latter.
WHERE: Where ever you find your self do not be restricted, explode and lets make our Nation proud to restore her pride and glory.
Lastly, remember “It is not the question of if Nigeria will be great again, it is a question of WHEN and WHO? …”
