                    <description><![CDATA[The status of our educational system is nothing to write good about. Owning is now a new form of business. So many mushroom schools spring up everywhere. To my consternation, the standards of such schools are not checked by our ministries of education. The result is that we produce substandard and half-baked students who cannot even stand on their own feet in the world beyond school. We produce students who, though are through with secondary education, cannot gain university admission because they cannot vilify their WASSCE. This degrading situation is enough cause for alarm. We should and must do something about it for the future of educated Nigeria, for our children, and for posterity as a whole. Thanks.]]></description>

                    <description><![CDATA[the whole world is changing. Not only the calibre of people alive in the world today, but also the norms and values of our world today are very different from those of our forebears. We naturally place much value on things that are somehow irrelevant to our forebears. They do not understand it: maybe because of the age gap or because the world is moving a pace too fast.<br />
<br />
But all the same the advice of our parents is still important in our today's world. There is a saying among my people that what an elderly person saw while sitting down, a youngster will not see even while standing on the top of an Iroko tree.<br />
<br />
We should heed the advice of our parents. That advice may be the North Star that will lead you to a safe harbor in this life.]]></description>
