The painful thing about the children that were kidnapped in oyo is that no one in this current misfortune of an administration is saying anything about those babies. This is so cruel, they have been there for 44 fucking days!!!
You know we are doomed academically when:
1. The Best Graduating Student is awarded a cash gift of 10,000.
2. On this app, if your writing is exceptionally good, the first thing that comes to people's minds is, "It was written by AI." As a writer, you'll sometimes come across a post that, to you, is just a normal, everyday piece of writing, yet you'll find people in the comment section arguing that it was AI-generated. Whenever they see good writing, many people no longer believe it's possible for a human being to have written it. That is one of the greatest academic dangers we face today.
3. You can ask people the simplest questions, and they can't answer without Google. Basic information that they should know, they don't, and they don't even care. These are the same people who can't reply to a one-line tweet without using ChatGPT.
4. You simply tweet that you've never engaged in examination malpractice in your life, and 98% of the people in the comment section confidently tell you that you're lying because, to them, examination malpractice has become the norm.
5. People can't even read anything longer than two lines. "Sorry, I ain't reading all that." If you want to hide anything from the average Nigerian, just put it in writing. Libraries are becoming obsolete. People no longer visit them to read, and it's not as though they're reading e-books either. We are witnessing the death of reading culture. Someone once told me in January, after I shared my reading list for the year, that he doesn't like reading because it is utterly useless to him.
6. A country where there is little or no distinction between many graduates and an illiterate.
If we continue this way, with this level of academic decline, in a few years we will be completely enveloped by what can only be described as an "Olodo takeover.”
Nobody gives a fuvk about what that shyt is called. We want to see Yoruba-built AI going head-to-head with Igbo-built space rockets. This endless bigotry from both sides is pure third-world retardation.

You need to see the joy on olodos' faces when a very academically sound person doesn't succeed in life. They relish it. It's almost as if it gives them more reasons to talk down on education and intelligence.
When we were graduating, after I finished as the top student in my class, many of my coursemates were really eager to see how I would turn out. In fact, I would always hear them gossiping: "No be by Best Graduating Student. To make am for life no be by acada. Street na military. We go see."
I'm glad I turned out really well. Even most of those who went to Ghana for "updates" after school and eventually resorted to fraud can't measure up to my accomplishments. Till today, many of them still randomly call me and jokingly ask, "Senior man, you just dey chop dey go. You no wan give men update na!"
Deep down, they genuinely believe I must be secretly involved in fraud. This is the society we live in, where many young people have come to believe that you can't succeed legitimately, and that every young man who is doing well for himself must be involved in fraud. Even many elderly people and police officers aren't exempt from this line of thinking.
I haven't seen a country that is trying so hard to make education unattractive like ours.
"School na scam."
"No be by BSc. You get BTC?"
"Education is the key to success. Oya, use the key start Benz na 😂."
"Lecturer pack 1999 Camry, student don pack Lexus beside am."
If we continue this way, in a few years, there will be nothing left of our educational system. We are so money-centred that we don't even realize education can be an end in itself and not necessarily just a means to an end.
Everything has become, "How much do you have in your account?" or "Use your intelligence buy Benz na."
This is one of the reasons it really hurts me to see highly intelligent and brilliant people end up poor. I'm always rooting for academically sound people to succeed because I genuinely want people, especially young people, to see that you can make it legitimately through hard work and academic excellence.
Any society where only the olodos become financially successful while the brighter minds, the ones who believe in due process, continue to struggle is a society that is bound to fail.
Good morning.
I just want you to remember these :
1. We still have those kidnapped school children.
2. There’s been no major update or conclusion on that raped festival that happened in that state.
This is how 17 year olds used to hold conversations.
What 17 year old? Fuck that. What 30 year old is this articulate in today's Nigeria?
For far too long, we've allowed olodos to be the loudest in the rooms.
We have a real chance to push back now. We will milk it.
