And we see what we can do with education, the standard of education, and the lack of it in parts of the country, especially the north.
I believe some generations have been betrayed because if people fail to go to school or become dropouts before they go to university or tertiary institutions, and without going to training schools to become electricians, bricklayers, mechanics, and so on, we have really destroyed their lives.
I was listening to a programme now, from the BBC, there are 64 million Nigerians that have missed education. 64 million.
Now, out of the population of a 160 or 170 million, you have a youthful chunk that has missed education.
We can only take them to agriculture, solid minerals, give them quick training, for them to get employment and a means of living because you can’t say you’re going to send them to polytechnics, and universities that are overcrowded, lack of infrastructure, no equipment, no qualified teachers.
Oh God! We’re in very, very bad shape. Nigerians need to know we are in very, very bad shape.
