You have really touched so many vital issues to the history of education in Nigeria. No Nation can developed when it neglect a sound education system. Thanks for the colonial masters or rather the missionary to be specific who demmed it fit that light must come to Nigeria, we have the Light through education.
This is where my concern now lies, our political leaders don't believe in our education system anymore and that is why they don't allocate the minimum requirement of budget by the global standard. They send their own children to school in foreign countries leaving our country education system to collapse while they aid other countries to make money from us. I hope that we will improve on what was left behind by the nationalist.
Thanks @adsactly and @samminator for this wonderful write up, i have been following this for some time now.
I believe we have every resource in Nigeria to make our educational system to be world class, but you know, mixing politics and education isn't always the right panacea. In my opinion, I think educational system should assume full autonomy.
Thanks buddy
