The Dearth Of Education In Nigerian Universities by GESE: 8:16pm On May 17, 2008
In order to fully understand my pain on the subject matter we all need to examine the meaning of the word Education and Literacy.

To do this effectively we would have to suspend our preconcieved notions, release the 'prisoners' we have captured in our hearts and imagination, and resist the strong temptation to capture new ones, until we have objectively re-examined the prose vis-a-vis the pre-existing situation and present situation of the educational sector of our beloved country.

As we are all aware from the various offering of the dictionary that literacy is the ability to read, write and by extension carryout basic reasoning computations.

Education on the other hand by advance definition is the combination of formal and informal tutorage, indoctrination, inculcation that gives an indepth understading of various subject matters which results in the ability to discover, manage, control and improve upon the vast resources available to us in our natural environment for the benefits of all. These resources need not be materialistic but can also be of culture and behavioural elements peculiar to he subject environment or its people.

Education is what a Government owes its people to help them help themselves as well as others around them. But what do we have today?

Graduates with no jobs, the chase after holographic images of immense wealth by all means etc

what do we think is the way forward?
How do we encourage those in school to look deeper than just passing their papers?

We need a revolution,
