EDSCHOOLATION By: Ogundele AbdQayyum Afolabi




A University degree, one  much overrated.
A path to success exaggerated.
Not really like usually anticipated.
By when i would have graduated.
And my grades celebrated.
But financially have i been liberated.
Cos all that theory and the reality before me now is quite unrelated.
I do hope you find sense in these words i have communicated.
Do not get me wrong i love that we get educated
But what i despise is how the school system's been reconfigurated.
So i call out to all holders of stake to look into this ailing system we have created.
For it needs a rebirth and we rehabilitated, before our condition becomes exacerbated.
Then we can be schooled and be assured that we're getting educated.

THE GCE GIRL By: OLUSEGUN AKINSANYA

Every year we welcome into our community several teenagers between 13 and 17 from far and near. They are both male and female. They have the same mission. They have come to write General Certificate Examination (G.C.E). Most of them are penultimate students in secondary schools. These little fellows have been fixed at centres nearby to write their exams and the people that brought them have accommodation as part of the payment agreement. Some of these children are leaving home for the first time. Some of them look like mom's pets. Immediately they hit the town, you see a lot of ambiance and noise, something like a carnival. They make noise in the morning while looking for water for domestic use and in the evening when they are back from their different centres. It's always a new experience for most of them, and they seem to enjoy it: yea, they seem to enjoy being away from home for a whole month, a kind of escape from the eagle eyes of their parents; they seem to enjoy a t...
