Letter From A JS1 Student To President Goodluck Jonathan by abeltolu: 9:02am On Feb 17, 2015 |
11-year-old Miss Babatope-Ojo Oluwatise is a Junior Secondary School 1 student of Chrisland College Idimu, Lagos, Nigeria. I have known 'Tise since 2008 when she was just 4 years. She has always been a lively, bubbly sweet young girl. A few days ago, she emailed me this article. She had written it in school. Please take a few minutes to read her 455 word essay. I have christened it #LetterFromTise. In Tise's own words: "I have always wondered, how we ended up like this. According to facts I have heard or researches I have done, Nigeria, my country is one of the richest countries. Our only problem is our leaders. Nigeria makes a lot of money from oil as it is an oil mining country. This money is meant to be used to build better roads, give to the needy, build up our country and lots more but our selfish leaders use that money for themselves and their families alone. Promises are made during election for better food, roads and others, but today, those promises are not fulfilled. The post of presidency should be given to a more trustworthy, accountable, honest and reliable person who will lead the people to a better tomorrow, but where will we find someone like that? If I were the president, Nigeria will become a better country and I will make sure people will never look down on us again. At the moment refineries in Nigeria have broken down, but when I am president, the first thing I would do is to repair those refineries. I would avoid being selfish and put the country before me. Nowadays, people in this country are dying, suffering, poor and miserable. Many of them die of sicknesses and diseases every day. The simple solution is to provide good and developed hospitals in every area in Nigeria. The government should avoid waste of money and natural resources and distribute the money to everywhere in Nigeria. Nigeria is currently undergoing terror due to a terror group called "Boko Haram". The oil money should be used to get better gears, weapons and equipment to fight all means of terrorism. Nigeria is a good country, but we have the ability to build her up if we all work together. If I were the president of Nigeria, I will try to bring back our forgotten cultures and traditions. Presently, our yoruba, igbo and other cultures have been forgotten due to the white men coming to our country and influencing us with their own culture. The white men are no longer here and we are now ruling ourselves, so we have the ability to revive our culture. Nigeria is not a poor country and we can stop this habit of being called poor. Nigeria can be improved and built up if I were to be the president. The elections are coming up soon and I hope that someone who has the same dreams will lead. Years ago, Martin Luther King had a dream of a better America where people won't be judged on the colour of their skin and now, I have a dream, that all Nigerians will have a better hope and future".

She's still a teenager, she doesn't understand how things are done. "if I were...", as if it's that easy. It's easier said than done. 2 Likes |

I am sure those of you criticising this girl , didnt have the kinda upbringing she has. It clearly shows she is going to be a good future leader. If she were to be your sister, would you condemn her or encourage her to have this kind of mindset? This is a kinda letter that should be published so that government can see that even the kids are aware of the way they are wasting our resources Charity begins at home and it doesnt end there Their eyes are open and there is no way this government can hide or lie to us anymore. Nigeria we rise again by the grace of God 4 Likes |

abeltolu: Two question marks in a question? You cannot make a correct sentence without obvious errors and expect me to believe such meticulous write up is the work of a child. I still maintain my initial statement - it is a paid write up since the purposeful writing is far beyond the scope of an SS2 student. |

tswitch: For the fact that you couldnt write that when you were in js 1 doesnt mean kids of these days cant do it Dont forget that kids in junior classes take part in both national and international essay competition So please drop the idea that a js 1 student cant sit down, think/research and do this write up. Thank you ![]() 1 Like |

skentelelady: Don't post what you have no idea of. No secondary school student will write that piece. Over 60% of university students can't write that piece. Stop showing gullibility and trying to force an untruth down our reasonably objective throats. |

skentelelady: If you mean your generation amply filled with retarded gullible nonentities who only excel at mediocrity, all forms of malpractice and indiscpline like your good self......your guess is obviously as good as mine If you are referring to the new breed of Nigerian secondary and primary school students who have not been corrupted by their "seniors" and are not so stupid to swallow line, hook and sinker every thrash printed or posted online.......your guess is also as good as mine. Off you go.Crawl back into the dark cave from hence you came. Retarded dingbat. |

tswitch: You must be kidding guy... how can you possibly so underestimate the abilities of twenty first century kids? She just returned on a mid-term break, and the first thing she showed me was this work... then this afternoon she referred me to her uncles website were the material was published... she was the one that also told me her writing was published on Nairaland... My dear I have been this girls teacher (Home Lesson Teacher) since she was in primary two and i must tell you that she is naturally gifted... Lest I forget, this work was actually done as a class work, and she did it withing a limited time, that's the reason for most of the grammatical errors |

Re: Letter From A JS1 Student To President Goodluck Jonathan by skentelelady(f): 9:43am On Feb 18, 2015 |
tswitch: Now i see the reason why you doubted this girl. It is because of the kinda environment you were brought I can see your parents were always fighting and cursing each other so you actually picked this from them No wonder you couldnt write a simple essay while you were younger and i see you children wont be able to do the same at this writer's age because you believe nothing as this good can come out from your lineage. ![]() |

skentelelady: My intellectual ability and academic status obviously enables me know what the piece is - A paid write up! If your inability to reason and your depravity cannot allow you know what this is.....too bad for you. Besides any right thinking fellow unlike you the psychiatric inmate can interpret my comments to the OP of "you are slipping". The explanation was so flawed and even a level 0 intellect can see that. Unfortunately for you you are no where near that since you have sold what remains of your sane mind and future for penance and the carcass left for a morsel. What a waste! |
