Dear Nigeria,
Today’s the school debate and the argument is
whether Doctors are better than farmers or not. Interesting. Well, I think we
need both doctors and farmers because they both play key roles in the Nation.
One can’t do without the other.
I had a morning lesson today! What a relief,
the students are calm. It’s not restless like the first class I attended where
someone tried to clear the air by “releasing intestinal gases”! Lol… it was
really bad. I’m at the back again. It’s amazing! They hear, but do not
understand. Hmm… I have work to do! Quite a handful of the students have “dada”
(dreadlocks). Must be a cultural thing
The average score in their last test was 3/15
i.e., 20% wow! (We had it better in my days). Like Asa said, “There is fire on
the mountain and nobody seems to be on the run”
It's really a good question, who plays key roles? It depends on their attitude, for example I've never heard of farmers deciding to strike, what would they harvest? However doctors do strike and leave people to die. What is the sense of this? What about the Hippocrates oath. Do farmers have another oath then, or is it more that we would not need doctors if we could cure ourselves. Food for thought.
ReplyDeleteAllow some decompression please...lol, come on now, with such scores, you would for less (joke)
Wish you all the best Maz
