Wahala I've NEVER EVER in my entire life seen a government as clueless and indecisive as this current APC government. So they have turned policy making to a town hall affair where people can shout "yay" or "nay". These people obviously don't have any plans for the country. They should just resign already. They'll say one thing, in the next breath, say another thing. Their principal, Baba Bulaba, started this stupid practice when he screamed "subsidy is gone" without thinking it through. That careless statement is biting us in the ass now. By the way, 18 years benchmark is STUPID!!! In SANER CLIMES, 21 year olds have an msc and PhD but here, a 21 year old is still writing jamb exams. Pathetic. Btw, where has Seun been? He opened one stake thread, promising to answer questions about his relationship with Jarus but he has not answered a single question. Sad. More active on Twitter, displaying his bulaba side. 45 Likes 2 Shares |

I feel the time has come for Northerners to permanently seize to be Ministers of Education. What kind of retrogressive law is this for goodness sake? I'm so angry like WTF is this na. Developed countries are celebrating smart children who graduated from their universities at age 17 or 18, our own Minister of Retrogressive Education wants all Nigerian students to enter University at age 18. This kind of mentality is the reason why they are all comfortable with their states being called Educationally Disadvantaged because they are not ready not move at the same pace with the rest of the developed world. Tinubu should use his position as President to reverse this stupid law please. 3ple9iner: Wetin this one dey write self? Where is your data to backup this claim? What of 16 year-olds who go to Universities close to their homes? A 16 year old living in Yaba can go to Unilag everyday from home without having to rent a hostel. GUNITGuy: These same smart nations introduce their 7 year olds to programming and robotics. Why didn't they wait for the child to get to 18 beforg training the child on Robotics? How does admitting students at age 18 improve our standard of education? Have you not seen 28 year old Nigerian Mechanical Engineering graduates that can't fix small generator talkless of cars? I ask again, how does this new law improve our standard of education? 9 Likes 1 Share |

So the Minister changed a Federal government policy inside a hall. Just like that. Chai That goes to show that many government policies are made on the hoof without proper analysis. Some of these Ministers don't know their left from their right. 7 Likes 1 Share |

SadiqBabaSani: At the end of the day, it is those in governmrent school that it would affect. Private school would not even entertain this idea (they make money through 100 level admissions, 80% would not graduate in the school they 1st matriculated). |

Why the rush sef ......introduce 18years and make it compulsory for every child to atten a vocational skill for atleast 2yrs or 3yrs .....Either learning I.T, Welding, Software, or even online skills, Tailoring, welding, Rig welding, or Barbing, Hair dressing, even Cobbling and Technical skills relevant in Companies or create self employment.....No one should just come out of school with head knowledge that won't be exchange for money .... Stop this certification rush without any financial skills coming into adulthood it's a trouble looming ... Look at our Agricultural system bastardized because people aren't creative enough to explore it since they told you all must go to school and have a white collar job that would be erased by Artificial intelligence coming from 2035...Jobs like Accounting finance even Medicine and some. Engineering wouldn't be needed it's just a matter of time 8 Likes |

In the US, you cannot apply to write the LSAT (Law School Aptitude Test) t o gain admission to study Law if you do not have a 4 year degree- Meanwhile, In Nigeria, anyone, fresh from one secondary school - "barely able to clean their anus in terms of reasoning and life experience" will write WAEC and JAMB in "miracle centers" and baam! - they are reading Law or Medicine in a University. In America, you can not read Medicine without, first, having a degree in one of the natural sciences like BCH (BioChem) MCB (MicroBiology) or even Pure and Applied Chemistry. Even for regular degrees like (Business Admin, Political Science, Philosophy or even Finance) most times - most schools prefer you get your 2 year Associate Diploma (what we call OND) from a Community College before applying for a degree program so they can evaluate your ability to cope with the University degree program - Naija always finds a way to bastardize and make chaotic - things done with integrity and orderliness in other climes -------> why the rush to graduate kids from Universities when they may be book smart but lacking emotional intelligence required for a balanced University education? Why not enrol that kid in vocational education to spend that age 16 - 18 learning a life skill so when they get to the university- they can be earning a living with their new skill and sustaining themselves while in school to reduce the financial pressure on their parents ? What is the need of graduating at age 19, serve at age 20 and becomes miserably unemployed - doing yahoo yahoo and hook up from age 21 to 40? rabbissshhh!!!! 6 Likes 1 Share |
