TRUE EDUCATION CAMPAIGN (PROMOTION)



In “When Education becomes Indoctrination”, an essay published by The Guardian Newspaper in year 2015, and also published on several online platforms across the world, it was stated by the writer that “When education becomes indoctrination, only the truly educated ones become successful.”

It seems it is playing out here.

It is obvious; education in this part of the world has become indoctrination.
It seems we are satisfied with the bragging rights: certificates and fluency in the use of English Language.
It hasn’t occurred to us that these aren’t what it means to be educated and that is why we are so backward.

Our children are sent to schools, they study any available course just to be in school and graduate unbaked and virtually useless to themselves and the society.
That is what education that neglects talents and passions has to offer.

According to Soul’e Rhymez in one of his essays on education, the best form of education, which he termed “True Education”, is to be taught the rudiments and the right use of your talents in relation to your passion to make you relevant to yourself and the society.

With that definition of education, we will have a stable and empowered society, but is that what we have now?
Don’t you think our educational system is just a brainwash?
Don’t be surprised at the hardship we experience now, that’s the price we pay for wrong definition and propagation of education.
We produce virtually nothing, even the little we produce is not valued and we are not trained to produce.
We are trained to import from abroad and when exchange rate goes high, inflation sets in as we have it now.

Where are the educated folks?
What solution do they have to this? Probably none, but empty eloquence.
This is not about fluency in English Language and certification alone, it is about productivity and they are probably not trained to do the later.

Have you noticed that our educational system seems to have been designed to produce only employees?
Why do you think we have so many unemployed graduates?
It is simple; they are trained to work for people, not to be employers of labour.
They were not trained to use their talent in relation to their passions; they are trained to speak good English and boast of certificates.

We have a lot of schooled folks that have no idea what education is and this is why we are suffering.
Education is not limited to the walls of any school, but it is worse here as university is the ultimate when it comes to education.
Whereas, it is just one institution of learning out of thousands of institutions of learning through which we can be educated and be relevant to ourselves and our society.

Until we seek “True Education”, we will always be behind.

SOUL'E RHYMEZ POETRY COMPETITION SEASON1

POEM 1 And Divinity Wept Love I marvel how Divinity could ever demonstrate love A love for humanity so pure as pure as a dove: In his love was love and a love void of lust, For on the cross he bled and suffered to save the lost. He considered not the affliction and pain For with his suffering comes great gain; With his blood the sin of mankind was cleansed As perfect redemption was made that heavens may be appeased. He was the precious lamb sent to save the world, And redeem man from a life of mod; His love was divine and so he died for man to find peace; That by his death man's suffering may cease. His death brought freedom and gave man hope Of eternity and a hope for a heavenly robe, Though his suffering and agony was grave Yet he loved man so much that his life he gave. His heart of love made him endure the cross, For he died that he may redeem man from loss; Being divine his blood made man as pure as a dove Even in death, still in his heart was love....

THE RUDIMENTS OF EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION

Image
Let ’ s start by knowing what we call Communication. COMMUNICATION As food and water is crucial to human survival, so does Communication. Communication pervades every human activity, man cannot do without it. We are engrossed in it from the time we wake up in the morning until we go back to bed in the night; from birth to death we are in perpetual state of communication. It is a phenomenon that cuts across the daily activities of human beings. In fact, the pervasive nature of communication makes it impossible for us to ever refuse to communicate as long as we are living. Hence, the axiom; “ we cannot not communicate ” comes into place. In view of the above, one will see that communication is very important to man. It is a cord that binds every part of the society together. Human activities and achievements have relationship with communication whether one expresses himself verbally or through non-verbal means, even when a man is presumed silent, he is in a way ...

HOLINESS AND VIRGINITY

Image
Talking about virginity to some people, you are indirectly talking about holiness, but have we ever tried to ask what the differences are? Does virginity have anything to do with holiness? Maybe we just don’t define them rightly. Now let’s define them. According to Oxford Dictionary, holy from which holiness is derived are defined as follows: 1. Morally and spiritually excellent or perfect, and to be revered. 2. Belonging to or devoted to God. 3. consecrated, sacred. [Old English: related to *whole] Let’s talk the meaning of virginity just as well. Virginity means remaining a virgin and according to Oxford Dictionary virgin is defined as follows: 1. Person who has never had sexual intercourse. 2. (The Virgin) Christ's mother Mary. 3. (The Virgin) sign or constellation Virgo. —adj. 1 not yet used etc. 2. Virginal. [Latin virgo -gin-] All the above definitions of virgin points to one thing: natural state of something; a state of not being utilized. ...
