Life is all about choosing a good or bad will. If you tread the path of good will, you will see your heaven on earth, if you tread the opposite path, you will see hell on earth. These are basic laws of the universe...

Definitely yes, you can compare a footballer and a professor.

...but the education you acquired made you debunked the dumbest thing you ever known.

Even if you didn't work with what you study, it opens up future opportunities. Even if you study engineer and work as a radio presenter, to get employed, you need that paper you read for.

An illiterate may have the capital but remember he needs professional advice; knowledge he doesn't own, value that is being paid for.

You seem not to get the meanings of education and literacy .
Literacy does not NECESSARILY mean how to read and write one; as education does not necessarily mean to acquire 'western ' form learning. This is just what the western world wants us to think it is.

Education is the acquiring of knowledge, in any form, whether formally or informally. Literacy is the ability to apply the gained knowledge to a situation.
This will guide u: there are people who went to school, that's 'educated' but when they apply the supposed gained knowledge, we see the illiteracy in them.
So did u mean to say that before the whites encountered the blacks, the blacks were uneducated and illiterates? Of course not.
This is the picture that Achebe paints in his 'Things Fall Apart' ;Africans were literate and education before the encounter with the blacks. Same picture is painted in the movie 'Black Panther ' .

My view though; subjected to debate.

Blyzz:
even till date, I still think lukozede if for sick people, to boost their strength. 1,3,4 and many really freak me then. I still remember when I swallow an orange seed. I remember praying to God that the seed shouldn't grow in my stomach!

1. That owl/cats are witches

2. Eating another person's food means you are not well trained ( Even till now I don't feel comfortable eating someone's food, lol)

1. If I put my hand in the rain It will get paralysed
2. If I break the television and enter it while watching American movie I will find myself in America

Pavicx:
I used to believe that Everyone human on earth was a human being
Dread was for mad men
Beard was for criminals and terrorist
Youths are the leaders of tomorrow
Nigeria is the giant of Africa
Chelsea fans are tOuts
Nigeria will get better
I will finish everything school by 21 years old
Money was easy to make.
And above all
I used to believe in people.

This might not be related. But when I was younger, my brothers and I would visit our neighbor- a single man staying downstairs to chill with him. We would talk about so many things, the man will play the keyboard and ask us to sing one after the other.

One day, we were arguing about something in his house, we didn't know the man was recording it.

When we finished arguing, he played it. When I hear someone say the same thing I said, I will shout, you see, exactly what I said, I was right. When it gets to my brothers' turn they will do the same. It was after some minutes we realized it was our voices. If you see how we burst into laughter. That was our introduction to recording.

Chai, I miss those days, before the man married one annoying lady that will be frowning as if someone is quarreling with her. That's how we stopped going there. Women cef!

As a kid, whenever I accompanied my uncle to the post office to post a letter in my town, I used to think the letter always passed through the box to lagos directly by itself.

Whenever my milk tooth pulled out, if I declined to add some stones and throw it on top of the roofing sheets without making sound, I'd think my tooth would grow again.

I used to think white men who were teachers in the secondary school in my town weren't defecating at all.

Comedian2019:
I used to believe that all old men are wise. But I now know that foolish people also get old.

kingxsamz:
That there was some god in the sky ready to avert avert evil.
That when a woman has an accident and taken to the hospital, she'll give birth to a child
That the moon was following me.

If it's rainy and sunny at the same time, then lioness just gave birth.

If a teacher flogs you, soak that body part inside garri and see the teacher's hand swell up the next day

To get money, kill a Red head agama lizard, cut the head and bury it for three days, come back later to dig out your naira note.

To make a bird motionless or stand still above the sky, just hit a nail on the floor, step your big toe on it. point your index finder towards it and stretch it backward with your other index finger.
