TOLU'S DIARY

TUESDAYS 10AM

Hi diary,

So good to be here once again. Saw my brother reading this week as if his life depends on it. Guy nearly turned me to a chef as I have to cook to make up for the sapping calories. This took me back to my undergraduate days.

 Our educational system especially is well below standard as it should be when compared to other nations of the world. Lecturers give out massive materials which you have to read and understand on your own. 

Some of them that has made it to the lecture theatre will present theories they don’t understand themselves. All we need to do as students is to dance to the tune; read to pass.

 This is one of the reasons we have unemployable graduates these days. I remember cramming about forty species of insects and their botanical nomenclature in a course titled ‘Entomology’ even without seeing the insects for once. It was during this period I knew the human brain cannot be full like a memory card.

Many things has to be fixed to be up there again. Our universities produced great men in the past who have contributed immensely to our society when the administration and system was adjudged fair.

 Let all parties involved (especially the governing bodies) go back to the drawing board and save our dying educational system.

 Diary, remind me to ask for my brother’s CGPA. All these food must produce a strong point. See you again guys.
