Title: “Education Without Infrastructure Is Just a Dream”

We expect Nigerian students to compete globally, yet many of them learn in classrooms with no chairs, no books, and no toilets. In 2025, how is it acceptable that: Children still sit on bare floors to learn? Classrooms have leaking roofs and broken windows? Schools share one toilet—or none at all—for hundreds of students? The physical infrastructure of our schools speaks volumes. It tells students whether they matter. It tells teachers whether they are respected. And it tells the world how much we value education. πŸ“š A school isn’t just a building—it’s a learning ecosystem. Without books, chairs, electricity, and sanitation, we’re not building futures—we’re breaking spirits. This neglect affects everything: Attendance rates Student health Learning outcomes Teacher morale We must shift our national priorities. Before importing more laptops, let’s build solid classrooms. Before launching new curriculums, let’s fix the leaking roofs. Education reform must begin with the basics. πŸ“’ Let’s T...

🏚️ Neglected Facilities: When Nigerian Schools Become Safety Hazards

Schools are supposed to be safe spaces for learning, growth, and development. But in many parts of Nigeria today, schools have turned into zones of danger and discomfort—with crumbling walls, leaky roofs, broken desks, and pit latrines that pose health threats. These facilities don’t just reflect decay—they represent a lack of political will to prioritize education. ⚠️ The Reality on the Ground Take a walk into public schools in remote and even urban communities in states like Benue, Ebonyi, and Zamfara, and you’ll find: Dilapidated classrooms with falling ceilings No running water or working toilets Exposed electrical wiring and leaking roofs Overgrown compounds with no fencing or security In a school in Oyo State, students take turns sitting during lessons because there aren’t enough chairs. In another, during the rainy season, pupils are sent home because the roof is gone and floods the classroom. These are not isolated incidents. They are widespread and worsening. πŸ˜” The Hidden Imp...

Merit Replaced by Money: How Affluence Trumps Academic Excellence in Nigeria

  The Nigerian education system is plagued by many issues—dilapidated infrastructure, underpaid teachers, outdated curricula. But one silent killer eats deeper than all: the replacement of merit with money . In schools across the country, students from less privileged backgrounds find themselves locked out—not because they lack intelligence, but because they lack influence. Consider Fatima , a student from a public secondary school in Kano who scored high on her university entrance exam but couldn’t gain admission. Why? Her spot was sold to the child of a politician, whose grades didn’t even qualify. This isn’t just a one-off tragedy. It’s systemic. The Cost of Replacing Merit: Demotivation: Hardworking students see no reward. Brain Drain: Our best minds seek fairer systems abroad. Corruption Pipeline: Children of privilege often don’t feel the need to work hard, perpetuating entitlement. National Decline: Mediocre minds making critical decisions for our future....

Educational Decadence in Nigeria: A Student’s Perspective on the High Failure Rate in Exams

 Education, often described as the backbone of any nation, is crumbling in Nigeria. The signs are glaring—mass failure in national examinations like WAEC, NECO, and JAMB has become an unfortunate norm. Every year, statistics reveal a shocking reality: thousands of students fail to meet the minimum requirements for higher education. But while the blame is often thrown at students, a deeper look from a student’s perspective reveals a more complex picture. 1. A Broken System from the Ground Up From dilapidated classrooms and outdated syllabuses to unqualified teachers, the Nigerian educational system is riddled with problems. Students are often taught to cram, not to understand. Most secondary schools, especially in rural areas, lack basic facilities—no libraries, no laboratories, and sometimes, no teachers for critical subjects like Mathematics and Physics. When the foundation is weak, how can the structure stand? 2. Teachers Who No Longer Teach, Just Talk Many teachers, especially in p...
