The School Deceit

Grades can get you a job, but character will build a business empire. I don't give room to people who believe in grades, they are toxic and sickening people. When all you care about in life is going to school, get the grades, come out and look for paid employment, I think you are making a huge mistake. Grades does not guarantee greatness, if am wrong, you can use our President as a case study. Only in third world countries, that too much emphasis is laid on getting grades rather than building drivers of the Nation, but lo, they build incapacitated people. Only in Africa countries have seen parents pestering their child to become doctors, lawyers, engineers, and prevalently accountants, and so on, but am baffled to see no development in this circle, due to huge investment on reading to get grades, rather than producing people with creative ideas. What makes me poignant is stretched to the fact that most of the creative ones, are unprivileged to have good education and sponsorship, because they are not recognised due to their inability to have a B.sc, or some sulky  Masters degree. I weep for my country, that is not ready to change the fundamental systems. The country won't change until we change our problematic institutionalized systems.
The way Africans read, figuratively “Nigerians” make me think why there are numerous underdevelopments in our major sectors, and most importantly our economy, out of thousand experts and professionals we have been producing over the years, then I realise that they are not the problem but the system they used in learning and practicing. What do you think when you hear  Cobol, QBasics and some outdated languages are still taught in a Computer class at this sphere of advancement, that's when you take the blame off the wall and defocuses it from the professionals and redirected it to the nonsense been taught.
That's why we have issues.
We need to reinvent and reinvest in our traditional education systems and its impact on the consumers..
Maybe we can learn one or two strategy from The Europeans, even The Asians. These coterie of humans have been able to design a platform where major sectors could thrive without problems. Dubai, Singapore, China, Japan and the likes moved from Third World tag to Industrialist Nations.

What are we looking when these countries are going forward, I bet we are on Mt Sinai then. Despite the difficulties of living in these countries, they gave their citizens the best by devising the plan on  what they love to do and that make them top dogs today.

If we can refocus our energy on getting the best out of our people rather than testing their memories, maybe we can come to the table with a wild card..
If we can try and change some of the rubbish, consumers of education learn and redirected it to what they can do best, maybe our marks would have been indelible.
Let's come to the tables of restructuring and recodifying our systems and thinking, into creating development as a Nation and Continent as a whole.
