Now, there was a world where a secondary school graduate( as of then was Standard Six) is already sure of a good job.

I remember how my mum used to tell me that if she had finished Standard Six, she could have had the opportunity of going outside the country. She also showed me some of her mates who were able to get to standard six and these people had good jobs and were regarded as the elites in my place because they had money (thou not rich but we're okay and comfortable).

And if you manage to get to a certain level accidentally, woow jobs were already waiting for you. That world continued, so the system of going to school, get good grades, and get a good job was the main thing because the jobs were there.

As time passes, another world began to emerge. The few individuals that we're able to grab it became successful while the majority still follow the GLODEN RULES, in Rice Dad and poor Dad called it (Rat Race).

Our parents up till now still tell us to go to school so we can get a good job. The individual at the university level is reading so hard so he can graduate and get a good job. Some even go as far as bribing and sleeping with lecturers.

Those in secondary schools are still preparing themselves for the same system. Now you see where I was driving? Young people are still preparing themselves for a world that no longer exists Because of this orientation, we have had since childhood,

* it has affected a lot of things, a high level of corruption because everyone wants to come out with good grades so that he/she can get a good job.

* Our level of creativity is low because we all are reasoning the same thing except a few who were able to develop themselves and change their mentality.

* It has hindered innovations and inventions because we have limited our thinking and creativity to just getting a good job.

* It has increased the level of corruption in our nation because everyone is fighting for the same thing, so we are ready to bribe our way in.

The simple solution is "Re-orientation"

The mindset that we grow up with has to be changed.

* A new orientation of why we should go to school

* A new orientation of why we should take our study serious

* A new orientation of why we should come out with good grades( not really because to get a good job)

This will reduce the level of corruption in the school system and as a nation.

Innovation will start coming out because those in secondary school will no longer see going to school just to graduate and get a job rather they will see it as an opportunity to develop themselves more to be able to create and build that amazing idea.

Corruption will reduce because people are no longer fighting for the same positions and jobs

We will have a more organized and productive society.

Nice piece,most Nigeria secondary school teachers don't even read anymore, that's you have if you don't read anymore,you will be out of the game. That's why most business are failing and some rising. If people like Warren buffet,Rick Warren, e.t.c. still read and am sleeping,am not okay.
