TRIBUTE TO ALL TEACHERS

Image
Sometime ago I was listening to a radio talk, and the topic of discussion was: "Between a teacher and a doctor, who is more important", this kind of discussion comes with a lot of opinions, one might say, a teacher is vital in the development of child’s education who will not be a doctor if he/she is not taught to learn how to read and write. The point still remains, both professions are vital in any human society, however I choose to pay tribute to all teachers, most especially my mother who has been a teacher all through her career, starting from the home she taught to be good children and also assisted us in our studies, I remember those knocks she gave me on my head each time I failed to provide the right answers, it made me more serious with my studies.

It gave insights on the affairs of the country;   how the British colonials ruled us and the civil war that happen which made things never the same again, our country has been a cause of concern to both the citizens and international communities. How do we explain that a country rich in mineral resources, a good weather and wonderful soil for agriculture has its citizens as one of the poorest in the world? This has created a huge gap between the rich and poor; creating such dichotomy is not safe, since it turns the unfortunate ones into monsters which in turn will affect the so-called rich ones. How do we tell our children that a country which has enough food to feed its citizens has many languishing in hunger and malnutrition? What is the best way to explain that a country has lawmakers that ea...
