My very good cousin that is living and working in Lagos called me yesterday morning .
All I could hear was a broken soul and a man crying for help.
When I asked what was going on with him, he said, “I can’t do this anymore. I’m coming home this December and that’s it. I won’t go back. Fuck my job, fuck Lagos, I quit.”
It happened that he has been in the ongoing traffic from 6pm to 6am this yesterday morning.
I sincerely don’t know how to react to this or console him.
It is well. 💔💔💔
Deeper Life School must be commended for producing not just the highest scorer in the 2023 UTME Exam but the subsequent highest scorers down the list. It would not be a bad idea for the Federal Ministry of Education to send observers there to find out how they are able to achieve this feat. And then create policies around their discoveries so that other schools can implement them nationwide.
But if you look at the scores, English appears to be the Achilles heel of these brilliant students. I am not sure that it is just and proper to include English in the UTME. As long as a student has a credit in English for his GCE and WAEC or NECO, that should suffice.
Finally, I must commend Peter Obi. Mr Obi may not have built new schools. Still, he made significant investments in education during his time as Governor, which turned around the fortunes of schools in Anambra state, and years later is still yielding fruit in the form of these young Nigerians and others from Anambra, who are a pride to Nigeria and Anambra.
