I visited an older friend yesterday evening, who is a staunch Muslim. We conversed about many issues affecting the country, top of which was the fuel subsidy removal that has brought about key changes in the Nigerian business landscape. We left business to discuss other matters. Then, the man reported one of his children to me that he's backsliding in the deen (the religion of Islam) thinking I'm still a Muslim. I listened to him patiently as he berated his son's unserious attitude to observing salah (prayer) five times daily. I empathized with the man. I couldn't really tell him what I'd in mind: That neither he nor the said son really needs a religion. I advised the son to follow his instincts and listen to his dad (though I didn't really mean the second piece of advice). I wish I could tell the man that he's only getting worked up unnecessarily on the Arab culture, that there's really nothing special about Islam, and that religion is just a trivial issue. Any African practicing Christianity or Islam is merely engaging in folly. An intelligent person always promotes their own culture. Culture, as Geert Hofstede (one of the top social psychologists in the world) explained, "is the collective programming of the mind which distinguishes the members of one group or society from those of another". It's software of the mind. Thus, the majority of Africans today are either European or Arab in reality, and they're only African superficially. Such less intelligent people also say their ancestors are from Europe or Arabia, even though there's no evidence for this belief whatsoever. Religion, language, customs, and norms are some of the key elements of a culture. Some anthropologists use the metaphor of an iceberg to describe culture, and this is one of the best models I've come across on the subject matter, apart from the Hofstede model of six dimensions of national cultures. I often feel nonplussed when I see Africans practicing these two foreign religions, which are aspects of the European and Arab cultures. How do you develop as a people when you don't value your culture? How do you preserve your history as a people? Religion, as shown in the iceberg and Hofstede's models (pictures attached), is just an element of a culture. Islam is part of the Arab culture, and if you're an African practicing this religion or Christianity, you're merely engaging in folly and wasting your time. No culture is superior to the other, and no culture is absolutely good or bad. The African cultures have their good and bad aspects, just like the European and Arab cultures. I expect the future generations of Africans to be wiser. Most of the current Africans are dull, so they're a lost cause. For this reason, Africans will continue to lag behind in the world. It all starts from the mind -- a free mind, not an enslaved one. 2 Likes

A001: Someone shared this with me The behavioral stuff is complete bullshit and written by a child. In this very lagos people live in egbeda and work in vi. Are they going to find equivalent paying jobs in vi? They also picked those places to reduce their rent. Pick a school close to your home. Unfortunately schools are not uniform in quality. There is actually a state school within walking distance from my house. A school to apprentice pipline. As for parking your car at home, it comes down to efficiency. I went to pc village on Friday via danfo. The journey was three to four hours in total. It would have been maybe one and a half if I had driven. These ideas may work in other cities though. All this talk about three working days in kwara. Transport in kwara has always been easy and cheap at least from a lag perspective |

GloriousGbola: I've been struggling with this for God knows how long. Depending on who you ask(and I'm talking about actual teachers here) there seems to be no consensus as to whether more tuition equals better quality. Some say they all use the same syllabus and teach the same thing, others say the quality of teachers and attention to each pupil and detail is not the same. |
Re: EPL Chatroom - All Discussions by GloriousGbola: 8:18am On Jun 06, 2023 |
Itsrm: Our parents went to state schools. By the time it was our turn a lot of the state schools had deteriorated. Same is now happening in federal schools. All of this creates foundational challenges down the line when your pikin is competing for jobs with people with stronger foundations. You can remember when osho and elrufai decided to test public school teachers. It is even worse now because for a lot of schools it is literally drop outs who are being hired. In theory you could send your pikin to a lower cadre school then engage a good teacher for remote learning. 1 Like |

GloriousGbola: Parent self is too far. I also went to a public school but public school is not even an option in Nigeria of today. I was actually referring to the massive price difference between the private schools. You know how some charge as low as 30k per term and others 400k or even higher. Some will tell you it's all packaging and they all teach the same thing. Others will say it's not. |

izzou:The difference between them both, or the difference compared with kids not attending these sort of schools? |
Re: EPL Chatroom - All Discussions by izzou(m): 8:33am On Jun 06, 2023 |
Theflint1: Both of them And students from both schools. I am not saying everybody in the private is brilliant, or everybody in public is dull.. But looking at their notes, classrooms and labs, curriculum, school environment etc, you will know the one that wants the child to learn, and the one that wants to just teach and collect salary |
Re: EPL Chatroom - All Discussions by A001: 8:34am On Jun 06, 2023 |
Itsrm:No, they don't teach the same thing. The quality and methodology of teaching differ from one school to the other, and it's expected that schools with higher tuitions provide better quality. Most times, that's the case. I can't imagine if I decide to teach Math and Physics in a secondary school and a school will be offering me less than 200k based on my years of experience. The truth is quality education costs a lot of money. As a proprietor, if you seek graduates with first class, second-class upper, and MSc as teachers, you've got to be ready to pay well. |

Theflint1: Deterioration is the name of the game in naija. As it is any teacher worth his salt will be in the high tier expensive private schools. The other schools get what is left. |

When lpg was 3k per cylinder it was basically the same operating cost as petrol at 110 or so per litre. I tried it. At 9k per cylinders it was equivalent to what we are paying now. At 6knpwr cylinder you may be paying 2/3. Unfortunately there is no linear calculation for this |
