the difference between we human beings and animals is 'thinking', and anything aside this is a contravention or inconsistent either <u>way</u>.
I could remember when I joined a protest at Abeokuta, where we engaged Governor Ibikunle Amosun in an intellectual crossfiring. He said why can't we behave like a 21st century student; one of my colleagues now answered by saying that, Mr Governor, if you want a 21st century student, you need to give us (a) 21st Century Funding and 21st
Century Facilities.. Mr Governor was laughing because he knows the implication of going further..
My point here is that, we can't continue to be using 16th Century methods in 21st Century(unbalanced
Equation).</p>School is designed for those who cannot think outside the school system other than to be doing
follow follow like Zombie... Most of our parents sent us to school because of Ego, and the hope that we would come back to take care of them.. With what if I may ask? It is a fact that most Nigerian Parents are
still going by the old ways of living, thereby mounting pressure on their beloved children with this old
apothegm:
You must go to school in order to supersede your colleagues or people who don't go to school...
<p dir="ltr">I believe what we need is diversification of the economy, thereby creating entrepreneural schools across the latitude and longitude of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.... But what baffles me most is that we are only having the height of capitalism ruling around.. Where is the hope to making it after going to school?
With all of these, many have been cajoled that Nigeria is in recession, even though it is bogus and factitious.. The rich will always find their way(s) because they are controlling money while the reverse is the case to the poor people... It Is not about the grammar you hear, it is not about the simultaneous equation you know, it is not about the Malthusian theory of population you know; it is about how you can transform what you have and put it into play for the betterment of self and the society at large.

This is one of the reasons why I love Marxism! In Marxism, there is a believe that the bourgeoisies are
downgrading the proletariats in one way or the other.
They believe that the proletariats are the workers while the bourgeoisies are the owners, but who
would put all of these things into play? The proletariats are working like slaves in love with their
chains but can't live up to the work they do. The capitalists are exploiting much from the poor because they Are financially oriented, and the fact
that we the poor have been defined by school system to build on hardworking generation/Hardworking ways of living.. We can apply the principle of Marxism prone classless society but the rich are its enemy.. I think it is 'hightime' we looked beyond the school system and think straight before we get trapped in the real world. If we can't think straight, then the Struggle has just begun!
