Ycee might actually never know the sort of cultural reset and paradigm shift that his comment about "Olodo uprising" has caused on conscious minds here.
Anybody fighting what he said is truly among the group of Olodo Uprising he rightly talked about.
My hatred for Peller started the day he put out a job vacancy for the role of his cameraman, stating that he wanted only Master’s degree holders. He was deliberately trying to ridicule academic excellence. He’s a fool.
Nigeria has now been delisted from the International Maths Olympiad, whose finals are happening in Shanghai, China, this July.
It is one of the most prestigious academic competitions in the world.
Nigeria can now only participate as an observer nation, while other countries can participate fully.
This was because of the Ministry of Education’s inability to fund students for 4 consecutive years through National Mathematical Center.
It’s a big shame for Nigeria.
All Ycee did was say the bitter truth about a topic a lot of people have been walking on eggshells around for years.
The aggressive decline in the academic sector isn't talked about enough, not in a country where the Jamb cut off mark is now 150.
Just 2010 here, anything below 200 will likely require you to retake the exam.
Today, all the average mind cares about is "He's making his money, education na scam" then we wonder why people make poor decisions everyday that could affect the lives of others.
