Gone are those days when the quest to be ranked among the educated
elites in the country is our first priority. Farewell to those days when
Nigerian parents put their farms and property for sale just to sponsor their
child’s education.
Long ago, academic success such as graduation,
promotion, and scholarship always call for a celebration just like wedding
anniversary, naming ceremony and another owambe party. We were once a country
that holds literacy with high-esteem. We placed so much value on education believing
that there is no other profitable asset for the future than being educated. But
presently, education in Nigeria has become a lost glory.
