Nigerians will use their hands to vote for the wrong government, then open their mouths to pray for a better country.
I have never seen this level of stupidity in my life. And the people who are perpetuating tribalism are young people, BTW.
I’m in the wrong country!
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.
bakın sorunumuz bence bilmek. her şeyi gereğinden fazla bilmek. haberdar olmak. ben kendi adıma eminim ki bu kadar haberdar olmasaydım çok daha fazla mutlu ve memnun biri olurdum. maalesef bu bi gerçek.
