The pillars of education

Of the many factors essential to a nation’s chances for development, education is one of the most important. A saying has it that “The rise or fall of a nation is the doing of its people”. In other words, the deciding factor is, in most cases the people rather than outside forces (like, say, a foreign invasion in the case of a nation’s fall).

We can go on from that to say that the quality of the people depends on whether they have a “good” education or a “bad” one.

I see education as three – pillared: Moral, Intellectual and Physical. A good education should consist of moral training. Students should be taught morality and good sense to enable them live successfully as individual humanbeings and as members of society. It should also include intellectual training not only to impart information but to develop the power of thinking. Thirdly, it should be rounded out with physical education to build healthy bodies.

A good balance of the three is important. But in compulsory education the focus should be on moral training for it is this that makes us human. Moral education, then, is human education. Through moral education, people are equipped with manners befitting human persons and members of society.

Only when intellectual and physical education are built on this “human” foundation are they able to be made full use of. They are simply a minus to society if they are used wrongly – no matter how much knowledge or physical strength a person may have.

Why generators are irreplaceable

Inverters are great sources of electricity supply. Most especially in a country like ours where the Power sector is in comatose. Despite the awareness created by most Inverter companies about the advantages of having an Inverter, most Nigerians still prefer a Generator set to an Inverter. The reasons for this are not far fetched.

Firstly, Inverters are very expensive. A Generator of the same capacity is three times cheaper.

Secondly, Inverters are very cumbersome to install and requires the professional hands of an expert. This discourages many a people from acquiring one.

Thirdly, an Inverter cannot run on standalone. Users of Inverters still require a Generator set of higher capacity or electricity supply for the purpose of charging its batteries. So, owning an Inverter is seen as double expenses by most people.

Lastly, the cost of maintenance in times of breakdown can be very exorbitant. Most especially battery replacement can be very capital intensive.

Why many can't stay in Lagos

Whenever strangers from within the country visit Lagos, immediately they see a society that is enveloped by the darkness. Everything they experience, observe and see seems to be upside down and chaotic. They lament, how could human beings adapt to such a life of hell without any out roar of being fed up? Just like the late Fela Anikulapo Kuti would say, “suffering and smiling.” That is the best description for the life in Lagos.

If fellow Nigerians from other states could feel this way about Lagos, then how much more strangers from outside the country. They would feel like running back after experiencing just a day in Lagos. This is one key reason preventing investors from coming into the country. Lagos is the first point of call to any investor willing to invest in the country. Nobody would want to invest in a society that is not working, upside down and chaotic. Civilization is so far away from Lagos. But to Lagosians, in fact, they are the most civilized people in the world; every other person is uncivilized. Just like a mad man who feels he is sane and everybody around him is insane. Lagosians do the wrong things in place of the right things. And when they see you trying to do the right thing, they think you are abnormal. They would even rein abuses on you saying, “don’t you know that this is Lagos?” You are not sharp; you are not smart etc; Just because you are trying to do the right thing. The story of many visitors in Lagos has been, ‘if you cannot beat them, then join them.’ So, within few days a visitor in Lagos has adapted to this life of hell and already behaving like other Lagosians.

Bookmakers describe Lagos as the second worst city to live in the world. Why would it not be; with all the uncivilized activities putting the state among the blacklisted cities of the world? Activities such as:

·         Smuggling of contraband commodities such as rice, vegetable oil, frozen turkey and chicken.

·         Begging and street hawking in every nook and cranny of the city.

·         Bribery and corruption experienced by transporters in the hands of Police, Road safety and Agberos.
.    Bus conductors hanging by the door instead of reserving a seat for himself

·         Lawlessness

·         Pollution from noise, vehicle exhaust, generators and company machinery.

·         Breaking of traffic rules by motorists.

·         Massive traffic jam everywhere in the state.

·         Armed robbery, kidnapping, ritual killings, scamming, drug trafficking, child trafficking by residence.

·         Bad roads and poor drainages leading to flooding whenever it rains.

·         Erratic power supply

·         Congestion, confusion and disorderliness. One can go on and on.
In a civilized state, all these shameful activities can never happen. Have we not seen the organization
and orderliness in other cities of the world. Why can't we borrow a leaf from them?

If we do not pay cognizance attention to these things and find a long lasting solution to them, then the so much talked about CHANGE would be a word said in the wind. Let us all CHANGE from within.

CHANGE begins with me!
