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.

@F00Dhealth5432 Hard times create strong men. Strong men create good times. Good times create weak men. And, weak men create hard times.

#Nigeria…doing a lot. None, very well.
This is what you get when #corruption is the currency of a nation.

Been seeing complaints about @GloWorld show up in my feed the past couple of days. I wonder why 🤔

[gözzim @gozzim]

@instablog9ja As ridiculous as this seems I find the commentary more disturbing. One is reminded that the average Nigerian has zero interest in the success of the businesses they draw salaries from. It’s the typical crabs in a bucket psyche. The citizens are worse than the govt .

@DrGabies @temitoayoo I tell you!

@elleofgaia @yegwave I wonder!

[Kemee❤️ @Kemeebassey]

@yegwave This is the reality of the free healthcare Canadians brag about. You pay half your paycheck in taxes just to be told to take a Tylenol while your heart stops.

[Day.0 @dedayoa]

It’s sickening just knowing this is the reality. Just one!

[Sherry 🍁 @CherieDamour_]

@yegwave This could be any of us. We are just one emergency away from collapsing and dying in the ER because Canadian healthcare system expects you to get better yourself and go home after waiting for 8-10 hours in the ER.

No speculations anymore @OpenAI published their meta prompts for their "prompt optimization" feature they launched at DevDay to their documentation. 👀

I can 100% relate.

[Osaretin Victor Asemota @asemota]

Nigerian wholesale and retail commerce is fascinating because of the players within and their interactions. It is not something you approach with logic and expect to win easily, especially when dealing with irrational people. I will explain with a few of my experiences.

I got the Oxford American English dictionary for my kids. The first word that came to my mind to ask them was ‘Caribbean’
Surprised when I couldn’t find that word in this dictionary.

[Ayomitunde @macabelee]

@YemieFash @BenHundeyin @LagosPoliceNG Do you know how incompetent and/or complicit the authority of the NPF have to be for this menace to persist even after that protest?

What about the people that don’t have digital evidences to prove their claims?

Shame on you all incompetent heads @PoliceNG @Princemoye1

Immediately, the Lagos state government renovated Gbagada General Hospital and dropped prices to increase access to maternity care for the poor. The middle-class people moved there and suffocated the poor out of the facility.

The car park is always filled with exotic cars, but the delivery fee in the hospital is N20k. After delivery, they spend 2m on naming ceremony and 200k monthly on creche. Some even host small parties inside the wards.

They will continue to mop up government interventions until they run down interventions and the facility and then run away to private hospitals, leaving the poor to face their reality in the facility since they have no choice. Once the government intervenes again, they jump back to displace the poor.

The poor have been paying more for petrol, kerosene, and cooking gas in Nigeria for years. Petrol sold at 1200 per litres since 2022 in rural areas. Nobody cares until it touches the middle class and the rich in Lagos and Abuja. Then, they will shout and claim to be fighting for the poor.

The rich eating the poor, the middle calls devouring the poor and eating the interventions.
Nobody fights for the poor. This is why I will never be a fan of blanket subsidies. Subsidy should be targeted at those who need it.
