The adage (school na scam)by most Nigerian is becoming realistic For a country to grow and develop, it most invest in is human capital. presently. universities, polytechnics and colleges are on strike the educational system of the country is very poor.
It is a pity that educational system in Nigeria is not given the utmost importance, especially the schools owned by the government. I find this so because the situation mostly is that the children of government officials and even children of people in charge of the education in the country do not attend government owned schools in the country, and most times are flown abroad to attain their educational degree. As a result, just as our failing healthcare, education has been neglected, making it look like it is no longer important to be educated. That notion should be discouraged, regardless of how the government may have failed educated people in Nigeria in the form of no employment opportunity, making it look like schooling was a waste, schooling is only a waste when you go through school and do not get educated. Do not mistake schooling to be the same as education, someone can go through school and not get educated, education refines your thinking and equips you to be able to seek knowledge and process information in a more organized manner than one who is not educated, and school is the place to get educated.
