EDUCATION AND NOT CERTIFICATION

From statistics taken mid last year in USA, Nigeria happens to have a larger number of certified individuals, seven out of ten people have obtained their second degree (masters degree).

The question then is why is Nigeria still stagnant amist the affluence of intellectuals.
This problem is embedded in the inability of our elites to transit the class room theoretical knowledge to our everyday practical world.
Yes as some will say "science is the study of nature" but what is the need observing nature if we can not apply it to better our lives.

The second part of this problem is embedded in our education system. Students do not read to obtain the knowledge rather to be certified that they have obtained the knowledge. This is the only reason why a first class student of electrical and electronics engineering can not change a faulty lamp holder. The essence of going to school is not to acquire a certificate but the knowledge itself.
The reason why the streets of Nigeria are flooded with certified illiterates. If we want to change a nation the first part of the process is to change their ideology. All we see from the youth is nothing but the aftermath of gross ignorance. Please lets
get educated and not certified.

BELIEVE IN YOURSELF
Your Choice Is Here

Here I am laying down listening to the beat of my heart happier than ever stronger than ever. Got to the point in my life where I work every night till the sweat runs like water on the floor because I said enough is enough I stood up I listened and I made my choice. Now, now it is time for you to make yours are you just gonna sit there and take what life is handing you or are you gonna get off your ass and start telling life what to give you. Because that, that is what living is all about. Not laying in bed crying about the ones you can't have or those who don't want you. Trust me I was there I did that but I stopped I opened my eyes and I realized that those people they are gonna be the ones to come running back one day asking you to treat them the way you always did. That moment is when you have to make the choice to be stronger or to be well to be who you were. In that case you have failed in becoming a better person. Now I ain't saying that I'm an expert on living Coz I ain't but trust me when I say that letting go is what strengthens you in life. I know it doesn't always feel that way and you feel like you need someone but in all honesty do you, do you really? All you need in your life is having those around you that encourage you to become a stronger person and that can help you become a better human. Those people well those are the friends you call family and those are the ones you need to keep.

So stop using excuses in your life and start keeping your word not to those you promised something but to your self because soon enough you will realize that sticking to your word made you the new and improved you. Stop using excuses and start owning up to what you did and said!
