If 2y(5x-7y) -6y X +6 = 45 find x.
Yesterday i was in the sitting
room watching a program called
China24 on CCTV NEWS, an
electric lamp manufacturer was
interviewed together with his
workers in his factory. The
workers are kids between the
ages or 12-18 the most beautiful
part of it was that
the kids can on their own
manufacture same.
Now let's come down to Nigeria.
Nigerian students are busy
searching for "x" while students
in the developed countries are
manufacturing things for the
development of
their country.
In Nigeria, our engineering
students spend nearly all their
time solving difficult equations
and searching for "x".
In Nigeria, students will be asked
to search for "x" I do smile and
ask myself how can we use
Algebra and simultaneous
equation to boost the economy.
How can we use the located "x"
to solve the challenges facing us?
In Nigeria, teacher will draw a
circle having dots in it on the
chalk board and tell the kids "this
is an Orange" imagine.
In Nigeria, a teacher will be in the
class room using acid to change
litmus paper to red on the chalk
board. In fact, in Nigeria the best
place to mix acid with base is on
chalk board. In Nigeria, a teacher
will be in the class teaching rock
and it types
and expect the students to be
able to identify them in real
sense how possible?
However, the above are some of
the reasons why at 50+ as an oil
producing country we are still
importing tooth-pick and
matches. Our brain has been
channel to the fact that failure to
go to school will end one up as a
domestic servant of the educated
ones which I seriously disagree
with. We can't all be in the class
room at the same time and
expect us to catch up with the
developed countries, its never
done; we will keep depending on
them with such barbaric idea.
Let those that are willing to go
into sport be on the field or track
not in class room, Christiano
Ronaldo of Real Madrid FC was
expelled from school at the age
of 14 and today he is a world
footballer. Let take those that are
good in construction to factories
or workshops not class room.
Let's take away pen from our
engineering students and send
them out of class. Let's take away
pen from those that are willing
to take hoe, cutlass, hammer,
saw, screw driver etc. Our too
much dependence on pen is
sending us backward. To me,
spending 5, 6 or more years in
tertiary institution is nothing but
a total waste of time, 3 years is
enough for engineering courses.
12 calender month is enough for
food related courses and 3 or 4
years is enough to be a lawyer.
Imagine our youth spending
8years of their lives in university
and still our Government don't
trust on their expertise rather
they travel out of the country.. At
this juncture, I will like to call on
the government at all level to look
into this and find a lasting
solution to it. Lastly our
government should stop sending
the talented ones away by
sending them aboard for
training and failed to establish/
provide where they will be
discharging what they've learnt
or the skills they've acquired
upon their arrival. If we can do
this, I believe that few years to
come Nigeria will be the greatest
country of the world while
others will be on the queue at
our
back.
But before then, I remain my
humble self. God bless my father
land.
