Academic prose..

 LOWER THE CUT OFF MARK by Mkpisi Ndi Egede..

The North may have made an agreement encouraging the legend that they don't have brain to learn and never want to stretch the flexibility of the Brain to develope. 

They also wants to establish  they may be impervious to learning, which may be the only reason they insist on  easy way out in academics.

Taking short cuts to anything brings compromised results.. 

If you water down your Tea in absence of beverage, be rest assured that the taste will sour, it will be watery in all standard, the nutrients weakened and the only thing out of it is that it will generate enough or more than enough Urine, meaning.. It adds no Value to the body. 

Every other Tribes are gunning for First Class and Second Class in Academics, so they can face the Global development, but the North takes Solace with Weak Pass, substitute growth liken to one going into Gun Battle with Pen knife, the benefit is just like one whose Father is a Chef and stuffing the sons plate with Fat, the result is not instant, but when the Father ceazed to be the Chef, how will the Pampered Son survive in a world that is filled with Predators looking for Prey?.

Today let's discuss the Academic qualification waiver given to the North as they crave more... 

Let me use South East as Yard stick of measuring the argument..

Here the JAMB cut off Mark counts from 160 and heading up, depending on Discipline.. But in the North, they place Bench Mark of 50 as Admission Mark.. With the 160 and above Cut off Mark, one has to face the University UTME or equivalent to gain admission.. 

That is to enable the University agree that the result wasn't a fluke.. 

But back North, once you hit 50 or less, the Powers that Be will breath down the Neck of Northern University to absorb the persons.. 

Meaning the person entered University, pass through it but the lectures did know about it, and it's like one who paid  house rent but ended up living  outside the Fence and you think the house will recognize the tenancy in the outside? ...

It might appear harsh and hard on us the Southern Citizens and our Students, Infact it can be called Injustice to our Children that they don't get admission with same absurd measure like obtained from Peers of different Ethnic.. 

But it makes ours to come out the Best, it makes them to be equal to every task they might face both Locally and Internationally.

If a Graduates of Nigeria goes Overseas and apply for position that is available, it is obvious that the ones with Academic qualification will get it, never to those with Academic waivers..

So the Job for a Tertiary Graduate goes to one who went to University on qualification and not on Quota arrangement, even when an institution demands for WEAC enabled, it is obvious, even those who got into University with discounted and unmerited entrance result attained with cosmetic panel beating won't make it because they won't even have a say in the discuss as it is way above thier head.

Now to the Crux of the Discuss...

The reason why Maids do better in later life than daughters showered with encomium and best things of life, is because the Maid learned from point of frustration and downgraded, so she ACED all the tribulations and twist of life, in her grown and later life, she ecxel, while the Daughters of the Well to do, who don't know how to make her own bed, certainly don't Know how to wash her clothes, can't manage a Family, the marriage life tells the difference.. 

One makes hers a Home, while one creates abysmal House of Commotion, as the saying of the wise provides "adighi Amu aka ekpe na Nka".

In boys, the ones showered highly by the Father, encouraged to pass through University without the School passing anything into them, they came out not bringing anything positive to life,he live under the shadow of "My Father owns this and that", because he can't own a thing, unless pile of debt with destruction on his wake.. 

But the Boy Servant who worked his way up the hardway, will always bring smile to the faces of the parents.. Which now takes me to...

Igbo Boys are doing great because they never enjoyed Free Education, nor did anybody pave life for them ..

We never got a fair playing Field, that angered the gods and they allow us to create the Field, where we became the Regends.

Infact, even the Caucasians, Americans, Europeans are sweating trying to compete with our Boys in all things.. The Caucasians always bring thier A GAMES when trying to deal with our boys, because they are brilliant enough to be called SMART in all things, that is result of passing through controversial upbringing which became a plus and never a minus. 

We where Hated by our Brothers as designed by Amalagation Dudes (Brotherhood without any semblance), and minuted by the Brunch of Evil called Colonial Monsters, but the hatred did not unmake us, rather it energized us, it build us the needed Turbo that catapulted us into the next needed level, because we have tasted life from Zero angle, from across the state Ism and schism, we simply tried to survive like an Orphan whose trust is in God.

With the austerity entrance measure into Tertiary, we remain the Most educated, for we got it the Hardaway and treasured it like Diamond.

The ones who got into university the easy way or say the Quota system way, graduate the Quota way and got employed without having any idea what it takes to hold down a Job.. They can only manage Government establishment and certainly they will ran it into the ground but they must have our person as assistant who has the brain to drive the place... 

No Private business will have them because Private Sector are looking for the Best, even from that side of the World, they simply employ the Best, leaving the Quota graduates to continue holding the Nation to her demise. 

But those who had the right training, who read the right thing and have the right qualification, as things are turning Digital and in years to come, even Government work will be done online and that may require those with requisite training, that will stand the stake and sieve powder from Grains..

The reason things are going backwards in Nigeria is because we use the Quota method, that brings misfortune instead of fortune, we glorified idiocy and medicriity..

 We promoted illiteracy and place Crown on heads of dunces, thinking the Dunce will suddenly out smart a Bright Ladden Chap, they call such Illusion or smoke in a mirror,Seen but never felt .. 

Well, expirience has taught us , it is absolutely insane trying to teach an Old Village Grand Mother how to wear Make up..... No one learns how to be left handed at old age, so the academic imbalance in the Nation will continue to torment us, our economy, our future and that of our Children, unless we start now to readdress it.

The Nation needs to set a Bar that every Student must jump, that way, we can be assured that there is a standard for this Nation to face the future with hope and not hopeless.

Without Competition there won't be completion.. 

Nigeria should know that one can never make an Omelete without breaking an Egg..

 

One can't be educated without making the brain to start assimilating the hard teachings from different persons. 

The reason entrance is called Examination, and one gets ahead by the result is to make sure Square pegs are inserted into Square Holes.. 

If the tortious part of education are unacceptable to group, no need wasting time sending Wards to school, just print enough Certificates and share them same way they share Voters Card... 

But if truly there is tomorrow and the Next day, we should plan ahead, it may be tough but rewarding.. 

Finally to parents that aids the Children to bribe teachers and get promoted, just know that you are responsible to the child's irresponsibility..
