@GossipMillNaija She’s not remorseful, genuinely i think she’s still chasing clout with this video. She should be locked up for 4 to 6 months so she knows what kinda clout to chase when she gets out.. stupid clown
This tweet accidentally explains one of the deepest problems with Nigerian education.
We have confused early literacy with early intelligence.
A 5 year old kid reading and writing before everyone isn’t impressive. Childhood development is not a race to finish the ABC. Those early years should be about building curiosity, creativity, problem-solving, communication and independent thinking.
Let them build things. Draw nonsense. Play games. Solve puzzles. Ask annoying questions. Learn to disagree and explain why.
Then reading, writing and maths become tools for a mind that has already started learning how to THINK.
And Twitter is probably the funniest evidence of what happens when we get this backwards 😂
Every day you meet people here who can read and write beautifully. Big grammar sef.
But comprehension? Omo.
You write A. They read B. They argue passionately against C. Then 4,000 people retweet aggressively 😭
That is the tragedy.
Literacy is not the same thing as education. Being able to read is useless if you were never taught how to think.
“Left Nigeria with NOTHING but hope and dreams…”
This rubbish write up is what brought trolls and racists into your comment.
Nothing; but it took you years of planning and millions of Naira to move to a new country; but no, you wanted the write up to be sweet with your to aspire to inspire story.
Since you asked , this is what dictatorship did for me.
It will be the closest you’ve get to sovereignty
It took my foreign reserve from 493 million to 9.6 billion dollars under heavy sanctions.
Took inflation down by from 72.8% to 8.5 in two years
Was paying off almost my debt
Was setting up the strongest military power in Africa which old have made it hard for the exploiters to enter today
Was moving money outside SWIFT rails which would have enabled us build our systems eventually
Was rejecting every loan offer
Was rejecting that demonic strategy called Structural Adjustment Program
Was making sure the giant of Africa remained giant.
And what did you to it,
You reduced development metrics to food scarcity
You refused to accept that those who are talking bad about this country needed to go
You refused to follow, coz fuel scarcity is something so devastating, that could not be survived by you
You joined international powers to call it dictatorship even though the international power needed dictatorship out because it didn’t give them access
Your silence gave them concerned and they killed the dictator
It’s been over 30 years, how far.
Democracy has looted more than 600 trillion naira from Nigeria
Democracy took everything that belonged to us and privatized it
Democracy takes loans like a bitch on steroids
Democracy took our currency down by thirty four thousand (34,000%) percent.
Democracy made you believe your voice didn’t matter
Democracy shot at you when you tried speaking up
Democracy killed you at toll gate
Democracy banned you from social media
Democracy destroyed all systems such that your democratically chosen nafdac official laughs at the news of removal
Democracy made both citizens and leaders criminals just with different task
Democracy partners with evil corporations to kill your plants so you depend on GMO
Democracy accepted drugs from everyone because it’s cheap and kids in Kano died in numbers
Democracy made your women reduce themselves to marriage counselors and not leaders in energy
Democracy turned your men to charlatans and criminals
Democracy worked with America in terrorism finance and arms deal
Democracy kidnaps your kids as political pawns
Democracy takes blood from you everyday
If dictatorship were here, you wouldn’t even last a day here, you would be farming and serving your country
I apologize to dictatorship for how much we never appreciated it.
Also welcome to democracy, congrats, everyone loves you now but be careful
You have eaten too much and you might implode
For now enjoy-
