In a nutshell, are you not tired of schooling?
Wake up 6:30, pray, brush, have your bath, then
you rush down for MTH 101 , sit down and gist
with your colleagues?
Then the lecturer comes in and keep ranting all
in the name of teaching, all in a most noisy
environment without a credible sound system.
After that, you rush down to the class room, you
either meet the lecturer in, or you have to wait
for him, if you meet him in, he either sends you
out or ignore you as you sneak in, then you sit
for an hour or two as the main man dictates or
explains or ramble words from a note he has
earlier rehearsed.
Then you wait for one or more lecture, before
you actually find your way back home, or wait to
play with your friends and charge your phone.
In all this, it is either you have eaten or not,
research has it that almost 72% of
undergraduates go to school with empty
stomach. I really wonder how student cope with
receiving lectures without eating, due to the fact
that I find it hard to comprehend anything if I am
hungry in class.
This circle goes on till you finally get to 400 or
500l, and when you graduate, then reality hits
you like a bitch.
My brothers and sisters, when you graduate,
that is when you will understand that your
certificate is just some piece of paper with
inscriptions, however it could make or mar you,
but the chances that you will excel based on that
paper is slim, like the camel’s eye passing
through a needle, you might even graduate with
a first class honors, or your lecturers might
have bastardized your result disregarding all the
efforts you took that has been earlier stated,
(they will still tell you that you didn’t read
enough), companies might reject you, you might
fail interviews, you might not even find a job in
your field, you might go back to the streets, you
might be an handsome, soft spoken, well
dressed, professional okada rider.
Some of you will find a job, and yet loose
happiness, you are on a 9 to 5, you loose your
life, your smile, your joy, your quiet time, your
piece of mind, your will, your freedom, your
personal time, the love of your life, and those
419 banks will pay you a whooping, big, hefty
sum of #50 thousand monthly, and if you are
into law, which is the mother of professions, you
might even end under the bridge printing
affidavits.
The reality is this, once all you do as an
undergraduate is all I mentioned earlier on, you
are finished from the beginning. As for me, I am
tired of schooling, I want to get educated, I have
learnt more from myself than I will ever learn
from any professor, my brain manufacture
ideas, I think beyond the four walls of a dungeon
called classroom, I reason beyond the medulla
oblongata and notes of a trainee called a
lecturer, I want to invent, invest, build, support,
manufacture, produce, I want to practicalize my
ideas, I want to be big, I aim higher than any
motivational speaking, I can relate with myself
and make something big of myself, if they can
do it..
Why can’t I?
If they can make it?
Why can’t I?
I refuse to be a robot, I want my voice heard, the
truth is this, I AM TIRED OF SCHOOLING, I WANT
TO BE EDUCATED.
