You've never seen anything yet!. If you know what's going on in the sciences, like; chemistry, physics, you'll cry.

Recently, someone here on Nairaland posted a thread the other day lamenting on how teachers he hired to write the JAMB exams for him failed the exam. LOL!!. A teacher failing his own subject!!. What else do we need to know education in Africa is a big joke?.

This's why we need to revert back to our natural way of learning, i.e studying in our native languages. Asians in the eighties discovered the problem with western education and they made a U-turn, took their destiny in their own hands, and reverted back to their natural way of learning. And since Malaysians, Indonesians, Thai, e.t.c made this decision their fortunes changed, and they sped fast towards development leaving us behind.

Western education isn't made for your own good. It was created at the late 1800 century when colonial powers were under pressure from the African people to leave Africa. But, before leaving, they figured out that if they left us without teaching us their languages they'll not have any means of exploiting us in absentia. Therefore, they made sure they installed their model of education all over Africa, forcing the African people and making it a point for every African school to adopt English or French as a compulsory subject in schools (Rome previously used this as a strategy for destroying culture during their hay days in Europe). When the language of a people is destroyed, their culture will also be destroyed over some hundreds or thousands of years. Get it?. Meaning that our native languages would go into extinction over a hundred or thousands years, and we'll practically become foreigners in our land!!. This way they'll constantly create brainwashed Euro-Afro hybrid elites (neither European nor African in mindset) who act as a conduit for further exploitation of Africa. This's like training a puppy (dog) to behave exactly how you want it to behave.

Ultimately, what western education brings to a people are; first: destruction of language, second: destruction of culture, third: intellectual slavery, fourth: poverty.

The only way we can have true education and development in Africa is to abandon western education and create our own model of education. Same way we abandoned Hollywood movies in the early 90's and created our own movie industry (Nollywood). Yes, we can!!. By the way, the ''wood'' in Nollywood itself is a signature of intellectual slavery, a product of western education.

I grew up researching this topic (pedagogy) without even realizing what I was doing, cause I was born in a library. I've spent years researching this stuff, and literally shed tears the day I realized I' am an educated fool. Then, I began to debrainwash myself.

If I have my way and get a record label that believe in my type of music, I'll change the way education happen in Africa.

Western education is a scam!!!!. It wasn't created for our own good!.

How about you start the revolution and start communicating in your native dialect and let's see how far you'll get.

Please refer to the answer I earlier gave to the other guy about the pre-colonial states of Africa. It's a pity you'll don't know your history and therefore can't fathom we have been doing all what you said long before we had contact with Europe.

Yorubas didn't begin trading with Benins after we met Europeans. Igbos didn't start doing business with Ijaws after we met the British. Fulanis didn't start to communicate Hausas after we met the British. e.t.c, e.t.c.

We had a life before we met Europeans!!.

Yes, we had a life and there was education (which was just oral, we had no alphabets and we couldn't read anything written down) and African Civilization did not pass inter-tribal trading of food, livestock, artworks and other petty stuff. If not for European education, there would be nothing like nairaland today. Our forefathers were lazy, their inventions were crude and were millions of years behind their Western counterparts. When Christopher Columbus discovered America when he was finding a route to China, where were our forefathers? They were only farming and were living in huts. That would have been the case today if the Europeans had not colonised Africa (Africans lack invention)



If our economy, educational system, social setting, etc had been similar to what they have in the western world, you won't be arguing that colonisation brought negativity. The ball is in our court, Language is not the problem, our leaders are!

This is one of the many things that annoy me. When a teacher makes a mistake, the whole world hears about it but nobody cares about the well fare of teachers. A private school proprietor would employ a graduate and pay him 11k a month and in some cases they prefer to employ secondary school drop out. so what do we expect? I don't blame this teacher but I blame all who are responsible for our woes

Aunty mi, it's "in flux" not "in flock".

No, you're totally wrong. The Igbo's, for example long developed a writing system known as Nsibidi long before we met Europeans!.

Be informed, once upon a time in human history Africa was the most advanced continent. When the Dutch first arrived Benin kingdom in Nigeria they were so shocked about the rate of development they saw over here, so much that their exploration leader had to report back to Europe saying ''The town seem to be very great. When you enter into it you go into a great broad street, well paved, which seems to be seven or eight times broader than the Warmoes street in Amsterdam.

The king’s palace is a collection of buildings which occupy as much space as the town of Harlem, and which is enclosed with walls. There are numerous apartments for the Prince’s ministers and fine galleries, most of which are as big as those on the exchange at Amsterdam. They are supported by wooden pillars encased with copper, where their victories are depicted, and which are carefully kept very clean.

The town is composed of thirty main streets, very straight and 120 feet wide, apart from an infinity of small intersecting streets. The houses are close to one another, arranged in good order. These people are in no way inferior to the Dutch. They wash and scrub their houses so well that they are polished and shinning like glass''. And this scenario wasn't peculiar to Benin Kingdom. The Ashanti king in ancient Ghana kingdom was so rich that his official seat was made of REAL gold. Africa was extremely very prosperous before Europe made contact with us.

But everything changed once Europe made contact with us around 1400AD. We became conquered and were no longer in charge of our destiny. Instead of developing our lands, African natural and human resources were being used to develop Europe. Therefore, we lost steam and were thrown into total darkness as a people for over 400 years!. But, within this 400 years Europe entered the age of technology and industrial revolution, all made possible by exploitation of Africa. Trains were built, cars built, advance in physics, chemistry, biology, e.t.c happened within this period, but sadly Africa was never a part of this technological revolution. Just imagine where a people could not make a single development for 400 years!.

Please go read ''How Europe underdeveloped Africa'' by Dr. Walter Rodney.

Worst than that happened to nigeria. At least cattle rearers use some part of their head, Imagine palm wine and ogogoro drinker leading a big country like Nigeria
Tir! Drunkard as a president

Someday, a student who was tutored by such teacher will become a President, a President as 'wonderfool' as Buhari.

Actually, it is 'welfare'.

And which certified teacher will collect 12k per month?

gbemijames:


God bless you bug. You just said whats on my mind.
How on earld would you employ a teacher without necessary interviews and assesment?..

Mztarstrechy:
What you see in the board above was allegedly written by a certified teacher. Nura Alkali who employed the female teacher went berserk after he saw the level of her literacy courtesy of what she was actually teaching his children. He wrote;

'This was written by a certified school teacher i hired to tutor my children three sessions a week at 12K per month. I'm sacking her today. The Nigerian teacher-training system definitely needs a shake-up'.
