Mujtahida:

The truth is that is how the ancients understood education and it was so for a long period of time until learning factories (formal schools) were popularised and promoted by Horace Mann. I'd recommend for you to read John Gatto's underground history of American education. You can find a pdf copy online. It makes for an interesting and eye opening read.

Home schooling is another alternative.

We are living in an age of rapid change and dynamism. Boundaries are being pushed, human consciousness is expanding. Formal, hierarchical structures are experiencing unprecedented changes and even dissolution.

Omeruo must up his game - Yobo





Former Super Eagles captain, Joseph Yobo, has urged Kenneth Omeruo to up his game to retain confidence of being included in the national team’s starting line up.

Omeruo had been under severe criticism for defensive blunders that caused Nigeria the qualification for AFCON 2015 on the last match day as the Super Eagles struggled to 2-2 draw against South Africa in Uyo.

Ever since, he had been a suspect in the right rear guard of the Super Eagles. But Yobo has urged the class of 2009 Golden Eaglets graduate to regain his form and confidence in order to retain his Super Eagles’ position.

The Chelsea defender has had long loan spells in other European clubs even as Chelsea is considering offering him to Napoli in a prospective part-exchange deal for Kalidou Koulibaly.

Currently featuring for Turkish side, Alanyaspor, Omeruo was sent off last weekend in his club’s 3-0 defeat to Kayserispor in a league match.

Yobo said that Omeruo should begin to rebuild his career.

“I pray he regains his confidence. It’s high time he proved his worth to Rohr. I am sure coaches watch video clips. He might have seen the past clips and errors made by the former Chelsea defender in Uyo.

“All players are prone to defensive blunders. But Omeruo still needs to prove critics wrong. He should make the list of players that will confront the Bafana Bafana of South Africa next month. “

“He was red carded in his last league game for his club side which is not good enough but I see him regaining more confidence before the season runs out.”

“I am sure; he will currently be working on his fitness so as to attract Rohr’s interest. I think he still needs to step up his form so as to erase his past mistake when called upon to confront South Africa,” the retired former Nigerian skipper said.

Zamalek Star Yusuf : Nobody Has Contacted Me About Super Eagles Call-Up



Rumours that Zamalek star Maroof Yusuf has been called up to the Super Eagles squad for their friendly against Corsica on May 26 are wide of the mark.

The 24-year-old has stated that he has not yet been contacted by manager Gernot Rohr or his lieutenants over an invitation to the national team, but he's willing to represent the country if he is called upon.

''Nobody has contacted me regarding the friendly between Nigeria and Corsica,'' said Yusuf to allnigeriasoccer.com .

The friendly against Corsica will be played outside Fifa's international window, but the skillful midfielder hopes to make it to France by hook or by crook if he is considered by the coaching staff.

''Why not? I'll be able to make it to France if I am really invited. It is a very good opportunity for me.''

Nigeria's training camp in Corsica and Paris will run for eight days (May 23-31) and Zamalek will be involved in the CAF Champions League and Egyptian Premier League during that period.

ANS is always trying to refute OwngoalNigeria...

There was another report about Rohr contacting Yusuf even before OwngoalNigeria.

You remind me of the captain who engaged his emerging bright recruit in this manner....


Captain: Listen up Youngster... what will you do if the storms come and our boats start to lose some balance?

Young sailor: Sir, I will throw an anchor over into the water to stabilise the ship...

Captain: What If another storm comes? what then?

young sailor: I will throw over another anchor....

Captain: (becoming a little pissed) Okay, what if a final storm shows up, what then??!

Young Sailor: Sir, I will get another anchor and throw it in...

Captain: (angry) Hey! young man! where are you getting all those anchors from sef?

Young sailor: Sir, Same place you are getting all your storms from naa....


What am I saying? Being negative to the extreme just because you wanna make a point does not diminish the fact that this can work.....

safarigirl:
i am not against education, I am against formal education.

I asked you earlier but never got a reply, are you aware that there are other ways to educate someone without sending them to school?

The problem with both you and supernerd is that you think education is a one-way street.

Okay...you say you want footballers to be better educated, but they don't like schools. What do you do?

Has either of you considered the possibility of taking school to the streets?

Rather than all this " pass exams, get good grades" and all that. Educate them about the careers they want to delve into, organise a thirty minute session if you can, before they get to kicking balls. Tell them of the possibilities that await them, the good and the bad, the legal perspective and the cultural one.

These cases you cite of Iheanacho signing multiple contracts and such, it is not because he did not go to school. There is NO SECONDARY SCHOOL anywhere in Nigeria or Africa that will teach you on how to sign a contract. None!

So, how would his getting formal education in a secondary school have avoided that? Or you think everyone who goes to secondary school ought to know these things? Even University graduates in Nigeria don't know about contracts

Instead of both you and TheSupernerd to be speaking big grammar on one Coach Carter system, I expected you guys to bring up something that can work in Nigeria. How will learning Physics and Biology help Iheanacho to avoid signing the wrong thing?

Educate them, but educate them on things that will help their immediate venture- football. If they feel unfulfilled after their sojourn in footy, then they have the option to further education.

Stop saying people's kids won't be allowed to play football because they can't get six credits in WAEC/NECO...no be University admission dem dey find

The only form of education accepted in Nigeria and world wide is formal education. We all have talents and by luck that can take u to the top but at the end of the day my dear sister its all luck. We can't allow these children to depend on luck when there is a way out. People say they can go back to school like its so easy, how will u expect a 20 year old with no job and maybe even no place to stay to now go to school? Right now at a young age they can be instilled discipline. The structure of school, practice, home work, sleep will keep them out of trouble.
This is why i cannot agree that they should be left to play while others are in class. The mere fact that others are in class means they must be there.
Saying a university student would sign with 2 agents is debatable.
The WAEC talk is just funny because the results comes out when the student leaves school so i don't get that one.

he looks much better without that birds nest on his head

safarigirl:
so all the 20-year olds with no job and no place to stay in Nigeria (because popsy has kicked them out after running away to play ball, and they have no relatives to rum to), dem no dey go school?

Someone who has interest in school, will not allow such things deter him. We are talking of people who can cross desert if they must to play football and you think if their interest in school was as deep as what they have for footy, they won't succeed?

I have seen people with NOTHING at age 30 and above return to school, is it a 20-year old that won't find his way? No be 20-year olds full government schools dey sponsor themselves?

Lol @ your idea of University students, the musicians in Nigeria signing slave contracts, did they not go to University? What about the models doing same? Actors and actresses? You think they are all secondary school dropouts? Just because you know doesn't mean most of the student population know. Most Nigerians don't even think they need a lawyer when signing contracts. People still buy lands without getting lawyers, graduates with years of working experience. If you are debating that in Nigeria, then you must be living in that parallel universe as well

Who wants to instill discipline in them? You? The NFF? At which young age? The best age to discipline a child is between 7-14, any kid past that age is hard to crack unless they want to. Your idea would suggest freezing out possible 16-year olds who weren't under NFF and didn't experience the system

My suggestion is much better than whatever you're saying. Go to those streets and educate those boys, you must not send them to that concentration camp you call schools before they get educations

komekn:


If a child is failing barring learning difficulties in school it's not his fault. Rather it's the school system.

I can assure you cannot at the age of 6 -16 be 100% sure a young footballer will make it. And to allow him to believe he is a block air head and allow him to continue failing at school.

That to me is child abuse, every child can be taught you just need the patience to find a way to reach the child.

I believe I have come across this read... But I will definitely get it again for my PDF library....

And yes, Home-schooling.... another masterpiece approach.

You see, it is all about applying what can work and produce the best of results for us. So I am for both if also we look at kids who don't consider Schooling in an institution running with the coach carter concept.... Homeschooling gets a yes from me.


I just wish many of us on this thread who hasn't seen the real-life story told in that movie, about the coach carter concept, can actually try see it... I promise it won't be a waste of time.

And hey! Safarigirl... you shouldn't worry about any white cast domination... it is an all-black cast.... (I know you'll love that) Story told just as it happened for the most parts....


And yes, this is what I have saying all over the thread... Dynamism, Dynamism, Dynamism.... change... rapid change... limitlessness explored... boundlessness awoken....

We ought to just look into the horizons of all these and marry the concept and system that can work for our kids to enable them get the best and finest of both worlds... football(sports) and Good Education.

TheGoodJoe:


After running the program you suggest and later the U17 Coach discovers a special talent who can not read or write and he is head and shoulders in talent above the educated ones, are you saying the coach should not play or select him because he was not part of the Carter concept?
