Nay! Not an abode from they that slay

-As conquest grew and wars loomed

- A hand grew mightily up in the lands of sreal

- A hand that slain, as of first practice, the flesh of bears and blood of beast flowed like streams.

- He slain the 10,000 and the 100,000

- The flesh and foreskins of men wearied him in the land of philistines for yea! They were many that lieth waste

- He grew mightily by the Hand of His Lord, His kingdoms stayed knitted together; indivisible

- This man sought a house for His Lord of lords and His King of kings

- Nay!! saith His Lord, thine hands are filled with violence and thine feet tread upon streams of blood, they flow before me as oceans

- Hence, should I dwell in an abode coupled by these hands, nay!!

- I have chosen thine offspring, he shall give me an abode I desire, from the hands of peace

- No one takes your place in my heart

- But nay!! a house of blood!! I wouldest not take from thee

Wright Mills (1959). The Society has without a doubt been the platform for the offshoot of great developmental strides: in technology, science, literature, in culture, in globalization, i...

SAVING NIGERIA’S EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM FROM A PITFALL

SAVING NIGERIA’S EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM FROM A PITFALL BY ABISOLA AKINOLA Prior to this era, the educational institution was momentous and teachers were much revered. In fact, education was so valuable that even a primary six graduate could secure a job. Then, parents would encourage their children to be educated in order not to end up like them. They saw education as the best patrimony they could give their children. The society's present underestimation of educational achievements in this present day is not deliberate. There are several reasons attached to this: The educational structure and its achievement in Nigeria is deficient, it is not what it used to be. The world has moved on beyond the educational system practised here. It has come to the point that a graduate might not get a good job because what he/she is being taught in schools now is different from what is being practised in both the corporate and business world alike.
