First, every single right-thinking intellectual and systemic analyst who has taken the time to deeply study the colonial Liberal Arts education system used in our universities understands that this entire model is heavily flawed, fundamentally broken, and utterly incapable of addressing the most basic socio-economic needs of our society.

To put it in incredibly simple, unmistakable terms: it does not matter a single kobo who we elect today, tomorrow, or in the upcoming 2027 general elections as the president of Nigeria; this colonial Liberal Arts education currently running in our universities must be dismantled, demolished, and completely uprooted in its entirety before Nigeria can ever realistically talk about industrialization, technological sovereignty, or economic independence. I am not a genius for pointing this out. Dr. Joe Abah and his highly analytical team of policy intellectuals behind the latest NYSC reform understand all of this infinitely better than I can even imagine. This desperate NYSC reform, which is designed to spend exactly six weeks training graduates in basic vocational crafts and elementary tech skills, is in itself a massive, embarrassing admission that the four-year Liberal Arts degrees these graduates have been condemned to study in school are completely useless for helping them function in the actual Nigerian economy. And this is not surprising. There is absolutely no way that the Macroeconomic Theories of John Maynard Keynes, which our economics, finance, and business students are forcefully programmed to memorize in school, will ever help them survive in the real-world streets of Nigeria, where over 80% of our entire economy operates strictly in the unorganized informal sector, and where our national monetary policies are nothing but a set of humiliating terms, conditions, and austerity measures we must blindly implement just to remain eligible for the next predatory IMF loan. This is just the sad reality for the financial disciplines; a perfectly identical, depressing analogy can easily be made for other major fields like Sociology, Anthropology, Soil Science, Political Science, and the endless sea of other useless theoretical Liberal Arts degrees prevalent in our universities.

This Liberal Arts education is not working for us because the European colonizers who originally designed and planted it here never intended for it to work, innovate, or produce a proud nation of industrialists, tech pioneers, and sovereign builders. It was explicitly put there to produce compliant, administrative clerks, low-level typists, and obedient civil servants for the running of the British colony. Our academic intellectuals, university senates, and seasoned educational experts are supposed to be pooling all their diplomatic strings, intellectual resources, and policy frameworks together to completely dismantle this obsolete system. But rather than pulling down the entire leaking roof and building a solid, modern structure from scratch, they are far more interested in continuously patching up the rotten wood. This is precisely why they introduced the Centre for Entrepreneurship Development (CED) as a mandatory, cross-faculty course in our universities. They openly admit that the entire academic curriculum is a catastrophic failure, so their brilliant solution is to introduce a token, two-semester course. For this, they spend billions of Naira to erect flashy buildings titled "Centre for Entrepreneurship Development" and equip them with dusty computers, manual tailoring machines, bead-making accessories, and soap-making ingredients for basic vocational training. To run this new bureaucratic program, they have to hire directors, administrative staff, and technical instructors, putting them on bloated salaries, allowances, and bonuses. Each of these offices is immediately equipped with expensive air-conditioners, all of which aggressively adds to the already astronomical electricity bill of the university.

After all of this administrative madness, what actually happens? Absolutely nothing. The students are already heavily overloaded with their regular coursework, assignments, and exams because the CED program is usually introduced in their penultimate year of study, right when their major core subjects have become incredibly demanding, meaning the CED course is only given the bare minimum, box-ticking effort. And even for the select few students who religiously try to genuinely learn a practical skill, the time allocated for this learning is far too short to master anything of substance. To top it all off, the underpaid, frustrated non-academic staff who manage these centers are some of the most difficult, hostile, and corrupt people to deal with on earth, routinely taxing, extorting, and harassing the students just to let them pass.

These useless vocational learning centers exist in every single federal, state, and private tertiary institution in the country. Till date, not one single graduate can genuinely come out, stand tall with their hands on their chest, and declare that the job feeding them, paying their rent, or sustaining their family today is a skill they learned in those rushed, superficial six months during their university days. This is truly tragic, because the billions of Naira allocated to erect these massive vocational centers and fully equip them is money that should have been directly channeled to rebuild our dilapidated classrooms, fund public laboratories, and provide basic desks and textbooks in our primary and secondary schools across every state of the federation.

Yet, even after our so-called intellectuals have clearly observed that this original "reform" has failed spectacularly, their ultimate solution is simply to design another superficial, budget-draining "reform" in the NYSC. Under this new scheme, exactly six weeks of national service are supposed to be magically reserved to teach these identical vocational skills, supposedly to properly prepare graduates to function in our brutally informal economy. This means millions of laptops, sewing machines, hair-dryers, welding kits, catering ovens, and agricultural tools will have to be aggressively purchased, procured, and heavily inflated yet again by corrupt government contractors, and the endless cycle of bureaucratic madness continues.

Of course, this is absolutely not surprising. This is the exact same cosmetic way we have been endlessly "reforming" our corrupt police force, our overstretched military, and our compromised judiciary. Superficial "reform" is the only lazy, budget-friendly solution that our clueless intellectual class in Nigeria truly understands.

[DRock 🇫🇷🇳🇬 @DRock_z_back]

TO DADDY FREEZE, KOKOPEE, NEDU, NEOOFFICIAL, SHOLA AND OTHERS DEFENDING PELLER.

Let us stop being INTELLECTUALLY DISHONEST.

Nobody would come for Peller if he simply faced his TIKTOK, did his SKITS, made his MONEY and moved on.

Nobody is angry that he is POPULAR.

Nobody is angry that he is making MONEY.

Nobody is angry that he did not go to the UNIVERSITY.

The problem is that he deliberately started insulting EDUCATED PEOPLE.

He started mocking GRADUATES.

He started humiliating people with MASTER’S DEGREES.

He started laughing at CIVIL SERVANTS.

He started making it look like going to SCHOOL is a waste because Nigeria is dysfunctional enough to underpay EDUCATED PEOPLE.

That is where the problem started.

PELLER INITIATED THE ATTACK.

So stop pretending people woke up one morning and started attacking him for no reason.

He called MASTER’S DEGREE holders for interviews and humiliated them.

Daddy Freeze, I am sure you have worked for people before.

How would you feel if your EMPLOYER invited you for an interview, not to assess you fairly, but to INSULT you and use your condition for CONTENT?

Would you call that COMEDY?

Would you call that SURVIVAL?

Would you clap for it?

That is what this young man has been doing.

And instead of telling him the TRUTH, some of you are massaging his EGO.

Kokopee, Peller is not the first person who did not go to UNIVERSITY and still became successful.

Cosmas Maduka did not follow the conventional university path, but he built COSCHARIS.

Razaq Okoya did not follow the conventional academic path, but he built ELEGANZA.

Innocent Chukwuma of Innoson did not go through university, but he built a serious MANUFACTURING BRAND.

Cletus Ibeto started from BUSINESS and APPRENTICESHIP before building the IBETO GROUP.

How many times have you seen these people gather GRADUATES to humiliate them?

How many times have you seen them mock TEACHERS?

How many times have you seen them insult CIVIL SERVANTS?

How many times have you seen them laugh at MASTER’S HOLDERS and PhD holders?

They did not do that because WISE PEOPLE respect KNOWLEDGE.

Wise people who did not go far in school do not mock EDUCATION.

They understand that society cannot function without TRAINED MINDS.

So Peller should calm down.

He is not the first person to make money without UNIVERSITY.

He is not the first person to survive outside the CLASSROOM.

He is not the first person to become popular without a DEGREE.

But he is choosing to use his own VISIBILITY to insult people who chose a different path.

That is WRONG.

Kokopee, when you say “create something wey work,” create with what?

With which TECHNOLOGY?

The same technology Peller mocks?

The PHONE he uses.

The INTERNET that carries his videos.

The APPS that made him popular.

The CAMERA.

The MICROPHONE.

The BANK APPS.

The PLATFORMS.

All of them came from systems of KNOWLEDGE, RESEARCH, ENGINEERING, SOFTWARE, DESIGN and serious LEARNING.

Do you know how many NIGERIAN STUDENTS can create better things if they are properly FUNDED?

Do you know how many GRADUATES can build serious technology if the system gives them the RESOURCES, LABORATORIES, GRANTS, MENTORSHIP and OPPORTUNITIES they need?

Why is Peller mocking people because a DYSFUNCTIONAL COUNTRY failed to support them properly?

That is not WISDOM.

That is IGNORANCE enjoying government failure.

Kokopee kept mentioning KAI CENAT and ISHOWSPEED.

How many times have you seen Kai Cenat insult people who went to SCHOOL?

How many times have you seen IShowSpeed gather GRADUATES to humiliate them?

They do their CONTENT and move.

They entertain.

They build their AUDIENCE.

They are not constantly trying to prove that EDUCATION is useless.

So why is Peller’s own confidence tied to disrespecting EDUCATED PEOPLE?

That is the question.

Shola, tell him the TRUTH.

Tell him to stop insulting GRADUATES.

Tell him he is not better than them.

Owning Up to Leadership Failures and Political Responsibility

This morning, I listened to the British Prime Minister’s speech announcing his planned resignation in July. As a keen observer of global politics, my primary interest lies in examining what successful nations do right and the structural factors that cause others to lag or struggle with governance and development.

The Prime Minister’s planned resignation comes amid mounting public frustration over a stagnant economy, a worsening cost-of-living crisis, and a perceived failure to honour key campaign pledges.

Looking inward in our dear country, we can recall our own situation. Before 2015, our President on several occasions championed the call for the then President Goodluck Jonathan to resign over economic hardship and insecurity affecting Nigerians. During the Chibok school kidnapping incident, he demanded the immediate resignation of President Jonathan, arguing that the government had failed in its most fundamental duty of protecting lives.

During the 2023 election campaign, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu made several promises, including improved electricity supply. He also challenged the electorate not to vote for him for a second term if he failed to deliver on those commitments—particularly in providing stable power, fighting corruption, and improving the welfare of Nigerians.

At present, however, these conditions have worsened. Electricity supply remains unreliable, insecurity has intensified in many areas, including kidnappings, and economic hardship has deepened rather than eased. Similar concerns are reflected across other critical sectors such as security, infrastructure, transportation, and anti-corruption efforts, all of which have regressed. We are in the worst possible condition.

I, therefore, join Nigerians of goodwill in calling for the resignation of the President over monumental failure in governance. Such a gesture would help enthrone a political culture rooted in accountability and responsibility, rather than further entrenching impunity. It would also send a powerful message that public office is a sacred trust, not an entitlement, and help build a society in which future leaders understand that failure carries consequences. Only by ending the culture of impunity can we secure a better future for the society our children will inherit in a New Nigeria that is possible. -PO

Any small thing, "Gen Z cannot relate".

Do you people realize that Gen Z started from 1997?

Do you realize that the oldest Gen Z is almost 30 years old? And the youngest Gen Z is 14 years old .

If you want to call baby Shark do do, call Gen Alpha, because Gen Zs are NOT as young as you think they are.

I'm a Gen Z, I was very much aware of when the Five naira, Ten naira, Twenty naira and Fifty Naira notes were papers.

I knew when they changed it to the nylon that we now spend today.

I can vividly remember the time when they did Golden Jubilee for the #50 note.

I remember when a portion of pepper was #20, and when a cup of rice was #25 for long grain rice.

I remember when 5 eggs was #100. When Indomie was #30, when a cup of Garri was #10.

Yes, I'm a Gen Z and I remember.
Stop dragging us as if we just came into this world abeg.
