Former presidential candidate Adamu Garba has stated that sending one’s children to school outside of Nigeria is wrong.
WITHIN NIGERIA reports that sending children to school abroad is common practice among many Nigerian top politicians, but Adamu seemed to disagree.
The All Progressives Congress (APC) chieftain stated on Twitter that education is about culture, tradition, and values rather than certificates.
However, many Nigerian children become disoriented and lose the core values of education when they study abroad.
The best education system, he believes, is one that evolves through fine-tuning, refining, and improving one’s culture and values.
He wrote:
The worst mistake some parents do nowadays is sending their children to school abroad. Education is about culture, tradition & values, not certificates. Your culture & value is African.
Sorry African parents, that is a wrong priority. Most of those kids got there to get lost. The best education system is the one that evolves through fine-tuning, refining and improving those your culture and value you think as least.
In essence, it is the hallmark of Africa’s development, growth and complete liberation from colonial entanglements. Africa for Africa.
