Our Debate

 What Is Your View On Education In Nigeria?

"They left Nigerian educational system to rot and send their children abroad to

school."

There's nothing joyous about politicians' children schooling abroad. Look at the

state of our primary and secondary schools in villages, these children are hardly

able to write letters at Senior classes, how would they pass JAMB? How would

they gain admission into the highly competitive universities, how will they ever read

professional courses that could land them a job after graduation?
Imagine if these people now go to NCES or Colleges of Education, and become

teachers? The cycle of poor education would continue.

Meanwhile, the best are supposed to be the ones to attend Teachers' Training colleges, so that they can raise good students, but now, mostly the deprived attend NCEs. I don't think anyone is feeling this pain, where people going to NCE are people with less qualifications, unlike in the past where those teachers who went to Teachers' Training colleges went because they wanted to be TEACHERS and

were very good at what they taught.

These teachers of present times often have poor trainings and are the people that would be handling the children of the poor, the vulnerable children in our public

schools, this means that the future is very blurry for the poor and vulnerable people and the rich would continue to be richer. We need to make Nigeria a country where people have equal education or at least with a gap not too wide.

Infanct, there's nothing to be proud about when a Nigerian graduated from whites

people's university. Can't we have our own MIT, Warwick, Harvard, Oxford? Must we always be longing to attend universities abroad and attach our pride to it?

Since when have we been seeing it as an achievement to graduate from universities

abroad? Is that how the African people would continue till the world ends? Attaching our Ego to ''abroad'', ''foreign''? Nah, something is not right. We also

deserve our universities to be an object of high achievement.

If you are a Nigerian who is passionate about developing our Nation, about the

welfare of vulnerable people, children, please join us in this discussion and let's hear

from you.

For us in TLF we are going to be focusing on Enterprise aka Labour aka Work for the entire month of June. We are urged to work. If you do not work how would you meet your daily needs? Like food, shelter, clothings and transportation? What about having what to give to others in need? There are so many reasons to work. I know many of us love to do what we love, we do not like to go to work if we do not like the job. But what if what you are doing as work and being paid for is actually what you love? What you love may not turn out to be a source of income, but we must still do what we can to earn. Are you enterprising? Please keep it up. Are you in paid labour in the private or public sector? Please do your work as unto the Lord God. Are you working all by yourself as a self employed worker? Please continue to grow and progress for greatness. Always know that in - Happy moments, praise God.  Difficult moments, seek God.  Quiet moments, worship God.  Painful moments, trust ...

Abortion

A worried woman went to her gynecologist and said: 'Doctor, I have a serious problem and desperately need your help! My baby is not even 1 year old and I'm pregnant again. I don't want kids so close together.' So the doctor said: 'Ok and what do you want me to do?' ... She said: 'I want you to end my pregnancy, and I'm counting on your help with this.' The doctor thought for a little, and after some silence he said to the lady: 'I think I have a better solution for your problem. It's less dangerous for you too.' She smiled, thinking that the doctor was going to accept her request. Then he continued: 'You see, in order for you not to have to take care of 2 babies at the same time, let's kill the one in your arms. This way, you could rest some before the other one is born. If we're going to kill one of them, it doesn't matter which one it is. There would be no risk for your body if you chose the one in your arms.' The la...
