Honestly, Nigeria's Problem is a Problem of Massive Ignorance

People ask, what's wrong with Nigeria? Why? It has huge mineral and human resources, and yet, it is the world's poverty capital? They say leadership is the problem, and others say the people are the problem. Some, still say that the white men should be blamed for the contraption of varied ethnicities and call it Nigeria. Well, note this today, Nigeria's problem is a problem of massive ignorance.

What is ignorance? It could be defined as the state of being uneducated, unaware, or not knowing.


What you don't know, you're ignorant of it. Now, assume that you don't know how to bake a cake, you're ignorant of the knowledge of cake baking. If you don't know how to produce huge quantities of food using latest scientific methods and modern technology for the hungry masses, you're ignorant of the knowledge. It does not matter if there are huge number of graduates leaving schools or if there are schools in every communities, as long as they are not producing problem solvers, they are producing ignorant products.Same can be followed if you have thousands that graduate from universities, yet they can't build bridges, construct roads, run standard accounting management of public sector assets, build institutions for sound policy making and good governance, then, they're ignorant of those knowledge, and the schools are found wanting.

Solution to ignorance problem is redefining the school system so that the schools would no longer generate ignorant-ridden masses, instead, generate high-skilled individuals who are armed with the knowledge and skills to solve Nigeria's problems.

If the schools from preschools to nurseries, to primaries, to secondaries, and the universities are effectively performing in top-notch quality, the masses leaving these schools would be high-skilled and adequately groomed to tackle the problems facing the nation.

31 great privately owned schools that are in competitive log-heads to provide high quality education to the super rich, rich, and middle-class citizens It is a fact that Nigeria’s education system is poor and in a comatose state, but some individuals, foreign organisations and immigrants have taken up the hard task of creating sound all-round education to Nigerian children. Another fact is that these privately owned schools c aters for children whose family are financially buoyant enough to afford their expensive education.   This leave a big gap in the area of the availability of quality education to more populous but poorer citizens. These bigger sized population make do with low standard education that the public schools offer. The resultant outcome is the situation where bright minds are exported out of the country to build other nations while the nation wallow in the sea of dim minds. Below are 32 great privately owned schools that are in competitive log-

Organizational Changes Necessary for High Efficient School Education system in Nigeria In other f or Nigeria to set its system of education reformed and for the system to exude high intelligence outcome, there must be foundational changes. The government can carry on a serious reformation in which all the public schools would need structural and organizational reformation. The top decision-makers on education matters, the federal ministry of education and the education boards, need to be reformed and reset. The reformation would start from the drafting of effective guideline which would adequately emphasize the roles that these control bodies need to perform in order to achieve the goal of creating a strong academic system.

The members would follow and adhere to

Why Are The Majority of Professors in Nigeria Less Creative? Getting to the level of being a Professor, a Ph.D. degree holder, is not a walk in the park. The journey starts from parents who are educated and are willing to see their kids achieve a topmost level of degree acquisition. The parent of a would-be professor would have followed up their dream by setting up a future plan of how their child would be schooled especially from elementary level to the graduate level of the university education as it is the case here in Nigeria and some other countries. Then a bachelorette can continue to push further to acquire a Masters degree and finally a Ph.D. The postgraduate learning courses that eventually produces a professor are usually focused majorly on research and deeper studies.  Ph.D. degrees holders are expected to use their enormous knowledge to proffer solutions to problems bordering the area of their studies which relate to the challenges the society fac
