I'm disturbed! And, you might want to know why?

It's simply because of the present state of education in my country. Although, the value of education is still intact, and the teachers are doing their best, but it’s quite unfortunate that young people are becoming less interested in learning! In some States, these students receive the benefit of free education, free textbooks etc. yet, they aren’t making good use of this opportunity! Instead they get carried away by peer pressures, crimes, wrong use of technology etc.

A recent result released by the West African Examination Council attest to this deteriorating state, wherein 83% of students who sat for the exam failed woefully. It’s really saddening. And, I still don't know why students aren't interested in studying anymore! They go to school, yes! Spend hours everyday in school yes! And yet at the end of the semester, they don’t get good grades! It’s pretty saddening. Yesterday, I was opportune to discuss with a School counselor about this issue and from her statements, she said, it is a big challenge that most schools are faced with now! And that she just couldn’t understand why a lot of them act disinterestedly in learning/reading.

Some of my questions to her were:
1 What are the factors responsible for this?
2 Is there a way out of this? How do we help them?
3 How do we help the students back to a reading culture?
I love her responses to these questions, but time wouldn’t permit me to write them all out. But from your opinion, what do you see to this great challenge? Or aren’t you faced with these challenges?

I’d appreciate your responses.

Thanks for sharing. . . . .

Our leaders need to be positive for the youths to follow suit. A country where there is no rule of law, what do you expects? We read in the newspapers and watched them on the television every day, how government’s executives are stealing billions of public monies, and their children living flamboyantly in the society like movie stars! So, what do you expect other less privileged children to do? Of course, since their fathers or mothers are not criminal executives, they took to the street. For us to move forward, our leaders most change their attitudes of self centeredness.

Our society needs to be sanitised urgently before it gets too late. What could a single person be doing with $10Billion? While majority are suffering without hope of a square meal a day. God have mercy on us.

(Ojeremen is very much angry and just thinking on how the problems could be solved)............

You're right.
hmm, you're right Ojeremen, very right. . . . I really wish we could be of help to these young people, and show them the right track, so that they won't be carried away by the present rule of corrupt practises we're experiencing. Trully, such practices don't encourage learning, It makes you want to do things in the fast and fraudulent ways, boycotting the essentials.

These little ones need some help, they surely do. . . .
Corruption shouldn't be our norm, thus, we must put an end to it and encourage hard work !!

We need rapid change in Nigeria.
We need change in governance, positive groups needs to spring up to suck in the 'unaware' and change the course of Nigeria political scene and history. Money meant for development and education of our people is being squandered as Estacada for godfathers, god-sons, god-sisters, god-in-laws, and party stalwarts in an attempt to woo and suppress the agitation of the good wishes and people of Nigeria. Monies earned illegally after an obviously rigged election that claimed thousands of Nigerian youths. May their soul rest in peace!

It’s very painful that the whole world is leaving Nigeria behind when we actually ought to be in vanguard of universal development. So sad we have become what the sages call "the numerous who still could not fill the basket." If we must forge ahead then we must stop the corruption vibes and the acidic retaliations across the nation.

Recently, our Nigerian leaders, previous and present all seek to identify with Obama, and yet they deliberately turn away from digging the foundation that spurned Barack Obama’s victory. We have enormous potentials in Nigeria, and it is a pity we chose to fritter these potentials on inanities. I’m still studying the present Administration of President Yar’Adua, with keen interest, on the way forward. It might be slow, but I hope good things come out at the end of the tunnel.
