Education is a life long learning that is why people who think they are too old learn are being retired at 55 in Nigeria because they have become stagnant. She is an adult and does not really need your permission. She just wants to have one less regret in her life and what has this got to do with you. If you have any loyalty in your bones you should really be proud of her and do what you can to help her achieve this. |

I have seen a 59 year old Nigerian back to school to study nursing. Nothing wrong. Makes them think faster and live longer. |

why would u stop her? its a good thing |
Re: Your Mom Of 58 Years Old by tpia5: 10:57pm On Sep 15, 2011 |
poster 1. are you married and have you produced any grandkids for her to take care of. No. 2. na orogun una be? Why begrudge her a little distraction and self-fulfilment. 3. are you yourself close to God. 4. There are correspondence courses of all types available. Why not sit your azz down and help her sift through suitable ones if you dont want her going to a classroom. 5. do you know how boring overseas can be for older nigerians? |

In my class during my school years, our Class Captain in the Political Science Department was a 68 years old man. He was a former reporter with Daily times. When we were undergoing Constitutional Development Class, as it came to a point when we wrote about the Independence of Nigeria. We were writing based on what we read but Baba was writing from his experience because he was one of the journalists that covered the lowering of Union Jack. His further explanation of the situation helped us very much and his experiences when sought, made our lectures more easier, even the lecturers learnt a lot from Baba. Allow the woman to go to school and have her fun, otherwise she will die of boredom |

Re: Your Mom Of 58 Years Old by Thirst4Lif: 12:51am On Sep 16, 2011 |
I tip my hat to this Mom of 58 who's decided to further her education. I'm sure the woman has supported her husband and raised her family, now it's her time to reach whatever goals she desires. I hope she reaches for the Moon! Kudos to Mom!!! |
Re: Your Mom Of 58 Years Old by Thirst4Lif: 12:55am On Sep 16, 2011 |

Re: Your Mom Of 58 Years Old by amblors(m): 1:08am On Sep 16, 2011 |

Re: Your Mom Of 58 Years Old by marcmuzman: 2:42am On Sep 16, 2011 |
Everyone was born the right to learn, It makes us human !, I seen personally a Great grandmother went to college at 80 to prove to her Great Grandchildren that a higher education is possible if you make it a priority to do so. GO MOM WHERE EVER YOU ARE !! |

Re: Your Mom Of 58 Years Old by N101: 3:24am On Sep 16, 2011 |
Some of you really don't think much of older women do you? The way some of you are speaking is totally disrespectful - I bet you'd never talk to your Grandmother or Mother the way you talk anonymously online. @ OP - If her brain is still active and she's fit and healthy, why not? I've known people over 58 who went to University and completed their degree, it's not unique. But because this is Africa she should sit and wait for death or read her Bible/Qur'an like someone cramming for her finals? |
Re: Your Mom Of 58 Years Old by MMM2(m): 3:41am On Sep 16, 2011 |

Re: Your Mom Of 58 Years Old by Promiseguy: 5:25am On Sep 16, 2011 |

Re: Your Mom Of 58 Years Old by denzel2009: 5:27am On Sep 16, 2011 |
There's nothing wrong with going back to school at 58, in fact her determination would make her excel. You can't even stop her, cos you didn't force her to make such decision. Just encourage and assist her in every little way you can. |
Re: Your Mom Of 58 Years Old by YoruIgbo(m): 5:34am On Sep 16, 2011 |
My people say if you wake up for morning fowl begin pursue you my brother make you run o, Imagine after 40 yrs she come begin go school? well give us full load because people can only assume circumstances surrounding it and judge. Did anyone call your mum olodo or illitrate? Is she preparing herself for political position? Is your dad a politician and she is worried that if your dad becomes the Governor she won't be the first lady? Is she trying to waste money? Because if she go back to school at 58 when she go graduate? ok ok let assume she finishes her course in 5 years then she will be 63 and she applies for NYSC exemption that will be 64 Na wah o, so na when she go come demonstrate wetin she learn for the school? Please tell your mum to save the money and use it to train her grand children , Igaba yi ni aaro ti arugbo nse oge N.B When you say school do you mean primary or secondary school? Finally to stop her is very simple, just show her all the jobless Nigerian Graduates and tell her that going to school at her age is a big waste that if all these young graduates are jobless who will employ a 70 year old woman? that is if she can complete her course at 70 |
Re: Your Mom Of 58 Years Old by samphilo(m): 5:50am On Sep 16, 2011 |
i will support her , infact i will pay her fees to encourage her |
Re: Your Mom Of 58 Years Old by itiswell1(m): 6:19am On Sep 16, 2011 |
samphilo: Exactly |
Re: Your Mom Of 58 Years Old by denzel2009: 6:34am On Sep 16, 2011 |
Yoru_Igbo: The typical wrong impression people have about going to school. Do you know if she just wants to fill a knowledge gap? Must you go to school to compete with other jobless graduates? Do you know if she wants to be a better manager of her business? If she's got the gift of the gab, she could mentor frustrated peeps or go into counselling. |
