ALL 8 YEARS OLDS FOR PRESIDENT; ABOLISH SECONDARY AND TERTIARY EDUCATION!

All 8 to 10 year olds should stand for president. They should be ministers, members of parliament at that age. All 8 year olds should be midwives and nurses. Everyone from as early as 8 through to 16 should own houses, cars and be in-charge of our school system. In fact, all schools should end by the time children are 16 or maybe let’s say when they are 8. There is no point for universities, or any other secondary or tertiary education institute. Abolish it all! There is no point in it all. If we as adults are going to send an 8 year old into marriage, we assume he/she can have a family, raise children and grow a community. We should take the next step and also nominate them for government office. Shouldn't that be the natural progression! While we are at it, lets break down all the secondary schools and universities. Now that we have married them off, there is no need for further education. We’ve taken them out of school in the first place! Let’s stand up and chant and shout: “ALL 8 YEAR OLDS FOR PRESIDENT, ABOLISH SCHOOLS AFTER 2 YEARS OF EDUCATION. THAT WHAT WE ARE DOING, THAT IS OUR FUTURE! THAT’S WHAT WE ARE CREATING!” ALL 8 YEAR OLDS FOR PRESIDENT!

Drinks on my Head

This is a podcast on my reflections of some of the things we consider as norms whilst growing up. The podcast was recorded in Mwandi, Western Province Zambia where I was working for a few weeks at the time.
This podcast aims to provoke questions and encourage discussion around some aspects of our society that we consider normal or assume would not impact on our lives in any way. Enjoy listening!

Advancement Nigeria 2.0 conference


Here is a short video where I talk about Education and the youth. I also talk about iSchool and our work in Education. I am very passionate about Education and I really believe we need to change the current learning and teaching system for us to develop for now and the future. Thank you Tulu and Sola for the opportunity to share my thoughts.
