Whither African Education?



“African educational systems have surprising outcomes. The smartest students pass with first class and get admissions to medical and engineering schools. The 2nd class students get MBAs and LLBs to manage the first class students. The 3rd class students enter politics and rule both the 1st and 2nd class students. The failures enter the underworld of crime and control the politicians and the businesses. And, best of all, those who did not attend school become prophets and everyone follows them…” — Anon.

What do you say?

  3. Tell me aout the quack prophets, charlatans who masquerade as men and women of God. But then our people are the most gullible in the world. It reminds me so much of Wole Soyinka's epic play, Trials of Brother Jero. The doubly-blind leading the clear-sighted. heart-breaking.
