*WAKE UP PARENTS*❗

Years back, *poor illiterate parents* produced
🔹Doctors,
🔹Engineers,
🔹 Scientists,
🔹 Accountants,
🔹 Lawyers,
🔹 Architects,
🔹 Professors.., whom I will refer to as *Group 'A'*.

These *Group 'A'* Children struggled on their own after Primary 6 or Grade 12, to become notable personalities. Most of them
👉trekked to school *barefooted*
👉 went to farms
👉fetched water and firewood
👉cared for domesticated animals
👉did some work including trading after school to survive.

Now Group 'A' ,who have now become Parents themselves are *producing Group 'B' Children*
These group B children are
🔹pampered
🔹 helped in their homeworks or home assignments from nursery school through secondary schools to higher institutions.
🔹chauffeur driven to very expensive schools or are sent abroad to study.
🔹they can watch movies from morning till dawn after school.
🔹 they are treated like baby kings and queens.
🔹they don't do any household chores.
🔹Food is put on the table for them,
🔹their plates are removed and washed by parents or house maids.
🔹They are given expensive cars and clothes,
🔹not forgetting *big pocket monies to be wasted* !!!.
🔹Their parents help them in doing their assignments.
🤔 In spite of all these, only few can *speak* or *write* correctly. 😏

🤔Group 'A' Parents cared for their own *parents* and *children*, Group 'B',their Children are still *struggling to find their feet at age 30+*.‼
🤔They find it difficult to do things on their own because they are used to being helped to think and doing things by Group 'A'. So they can't help themselves, their parents or the society. THEY ABANDON THEIR PARENTS IN THEIR BID TO ACQUIRE THE WORLD

😴 *Where do you belong*❓
🏮Reduce the pampering and the unnecessary help you offer your children.
🏮 Let your children *grow in wisdom, intelligence and strength*.
🏮Let them face the truth and the realities of life. Teach them to grow to become *independent adults.*

Mental Health is Key!
Stay Positive, Stay Sound..

*FOOD FOR THOUGHT*

Out of 6,944,368 students who wrote JAMB's UTME this year, only 973,384 passed,while 5,970,984 failed.

What that means is that 14% passed, while
86% failed. This is indeed the poorest in the history of JAMB exam in Nigeria.

I am not surprised. What do we expect when the passion for education is dying and the passion to 'hammer' and be a slay queen/king is what is driving this generation?

What do you expect when teenagers who are supposed to dedicate their time to reading books and learning morals are now busy on social media 24 hours looking for either a date, how to defraud others or get many followers on Facebook, instagram or snapchat.

The parental institution that represents the first agents of socialization, learning and control must not fail. We must get back on track & get our traction back in full gear.

The society that ought to encourage people to study has failed, the religious institutions that out to preach moral rectitude are now interested in how to make money and celebrate those who 'made it' regardless of how.

What do we expect from a society that celebrates money and material things more than integrity and excellence?

This is a bad omen for our education.
The correction must start from all of us.

It's time we start a new campaign with our children and teach them that:👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼

Let us teach them that they can not make a career out of Social Media.

Let us teach them that regardless of the flight by night emergency 'wealth' of the Yahoo boys all around, 👇🏼
*"The future belongs to those who prepare today"*(Barack Obama)

Let's let them know that they who 'hammer' by wrong means will not be their Governors, Ministers, President, Parliamentarians, Corporate Board gurus etc.

Let's educate our children that this 'emergency hammer tribe' will need doctors and other health professionals to manage their health, Lawyers, Teachers!
