EDUCATION IS NOT ABOUT SPANKING THE CHILD.

What has gotten to our norms
Of taking cane out of the four
Walls of the classroom in cannot
Impact knowledge under a fearful environment
Spanking or flogging a child.

All because of the child
Not able to comply to what is being taught
At that moment in the classroom
Of what end will what is being taught
Gets into the brain talkless of applying it.

To real life outside the wall of learning
There has been video circulate
The whole online space
Of an educator beating a pupil
Because of the number six during numeracy class.

To what ends is that in education
Fine spear the road and spoil the child
But to what end it is I saw the video
At the sight of watching I develop
Goosebumps it ran through my spines.

NB: With focus of a teacher beaten a pupil today at a school in Ikorodu.

CHANGING EDUCATION FOR THE FUTURE

Will need to invent a better way

With a good map-out plan
For the betterment of not just the now
But for the future of education
In our nation as a people
 
Will must not relent with arms folded
Watching our educational system
Goes down the drain amounting to ruin
Embarking on that journey
Of an inevitable quiet end.
 
And for this to happen
All hands and brains must be involved
All hands must be on the deck
To walk the work to emancipation
Of our educational system
 
Will must change the world
From the perspective they see education
To where will want education to stand in the future
And that future will create towards
Changing education for the future
 
What can be done differently?
From these yesteryears
Of how we’ve been doing it
Because a better future
Will must do things different
 
Beyond doing things differently
Will must also act different and see
It with the eyes of difference
To emancipate this change will seek
Then only then the change will come
 
Everyone needs to come seat
On this long conference table
To impact and bring it all to the front burner
Of decisive decisions not just only talk and talk
But words backed up with action
 
Going from implementing
To implementation to the last drop
Of the letter found in the agenda paper
Engrafted in ink and paper because is all about
Changing education for the future 

DEAR TEACHERS, EDUCATORS AND INSTRUCTOR

Are you teaching for the now
Or you are teaching for the future
There is a lot to be done
In our educational system
In its way and manner we impact

The teacher is the most critical being
In our society where we found ourselves today
If we want to see the future you desire
You have to create such a future by yourself
Dear educators, teachers, and instructors

That impact Knowledge into these beautiful
Young vibrant teens and teenagers
As a career teacher you are
What basis are you building on
For now or for the future

An educator
Who refuses to see the big picture
Beyond today will always be tie
To the past result of doing things
Such an educator we still teaching in the past

There is no special school
We train our leaders they are rise up among us
The role of the teacher is critical
Learning in the 21st century is a critical
Role of a teacher, educator and instructors.

A FAILED EDUCATION

Until we realize that we are at
The verge of collapse as a nation
That's when we be in the known
Of the pitiable state will found
Our educational system in this country
 
You cast deaf ears to the plea
To revamp our failed education system today
Be ready to face its music it we play tomorrow
As this ones who are the leaders of tomorrow
Has lost  the zeal and passion to study
 
All because of some set of bodies
Fails to reach conclusion in burying the hatchet
Of long term agreement meant out
By long past administration that led
To the failed state of our education system
Our kids are now roaming the street
 
Of their cities due to the none charlent attitude
Of so called leaders who stair the wheels
Of this great sector in our country education
To what ends is education
When is out to liberate the mind
 
But it has been turn the other way round
The caging of the mind with prolong
Incessant strike in a bid to make government
Dance to the tune of their demands
For how long shall we strive on this
 
Worthy course that refuse to yields
Fruitful result but am not sure it we
As truth is murdered right in our own very eyes
Failed education
We've lost the zeal to study
 
As study becomes so ever boring
Our lecture theater are void of learning activities
As lecturers are under paid this lead
To extorting students with exorbitant sells of handout
Yet the less concern-ness of government
 
As years of the student are been wasted
No one seems to bothered about the plight
Of our educational system as its standards
Keeps falling every seconds of the day. 

WORLD EDUCATION DAY 2022

As the world all over today
Celebrate education day
We seek to redress the education system
From all angles appealing to all age
Cutting across status and tribes
The need to revival the learning culture

As learning is the vital tools
That drives innovation and advancement
Of any nation, society and the world
As it cannot be swept under carpet
Because education is the road map

To living a life of luxury
As the mind is the seat of learning
That's why there is the need
To educate and liberate the mind
From illiterate status

To that height of been able to be in the known
Bringing innovation into it
To savour the taste bud of same education
As a nation and people
To rise from the bar of despondency

To that level of been able to speak
And rub shoulder with great mind
Creating an enabling environment
For learning to take place
Creating a new techniques

When it comes to educating the mind
Revamping the reading culture
As that goes a long way in learning
To the rest of the mankind
The world at large black and white

Education is the key because is the tool
That drives innovation and modernization
Happy world education day to one and all.

EDUCATION: YESTERDAY, TODAY AND TOMORROW

Of how long have we come with education
In our dear country and world as a large
The education of yesterday
How far has it gone in today
Is there an difference nor impact

Of what difference has it made
In our society today are we still
Where we are many years ago
When education was handed over to us
Education: yesterday, today and tomorrow

The last 20 years so far how well
Yesterday is done and gone
But how far has the proceed
Of yesterday education in today
Impactful, resourcesful or just merely existing

For us to have a better arrive
With a good right destination
We must do more then we do yesterday
In today to secure a better bag for education
As against tomorrow the future

The question now is
Is the fruit and dividend of education
Been really seen in our society of today
As against the benefit of yesterday
For a door of opportunities to be open

For tomorrow
For a better standard of living
If all this questions go unanswered
I tell you we are playing with fire
That we burn for decades

Education: yesterday, today and tomorrow
Yesterday was built against
What today looks like and its
Unfold what tomorrow looks like
The best time to be prepare is now.

INNOVATION FOR LEARNING IN EDUCATION

The most important problem in education
Is education because is the education
That we have been giving over the years
Without we not knowing
What is not really education
Education means

Bringing what you have that is in you outside
Education is queued to teach propaganda
What we have education handed it
Over to us
We cannot innovate

When we don't know what education is
A lot of us has been squeeze
Into a mold of tradition
Innovation for learning in Nigeria
Never allow your schooling

To affect your personal education
We can innovate but just educating
The key to innovation is your mind
If your mind is not change you cannot innovate
Innovation is doing things

More than you have done it before
In raising the bar for Nigeria education system is
Technology and social skills
Innovation for learning in Nigeria
Technology in what sense

Understanding technological application
If we don't have a technology of today
We cannot innovate for the future
Innovation for learning in education
Then in context of social skills

It has to do with network
Innovation entails knowing
Your environment...your world
The world beyond your space
As a teacher

You must constantly be open
To training, renewal of your mind
See your student as a partner
And encourage such a student
Every child is as important as the other child.

EDUCATION: ROAD MAP FOR TOMORROW

If as a nation we seek for a better space
We have to carefully look inwardly us
And see things that we sustain not just
The now alone but for tomorrow
We need to map out a good road map

For today as we look back on yesterday
To see where we are coming from
And how is it today to prepare for tomorrow
As tomorrow will only be certain
Base on what we have today

Education we outshine any thing
If only as a people as a nation
We carefully map out the road map
For the now and future ahead
Then only this a future is secured

Filled with the good luxury things of life
That makes life worth living in
Irrespective of all the material things
We have if we don't really set up
A good education system we are labouring in vain

Without education there is no future
No matter how much we labour
But if we miss this sector called education
We miss it all getting it all wrong
Education: the road map for tomorrow

The time has come
This is a clarion call
And we must not allow it
To fall on deaf ears
We need change then we must educate.

EDUCATION LICENSE TO A BETTER LIFE

For every thing there is a touch
That resonate the eminence of greatness
Upon the wheels of life luxury
Is the bedrock of becoming
A better you in the chase to live a better life

Education cut across so many things
As human exist in the space called world
Everyone needs to be in the known
Or else the one who is not
We be lost on a long run while such live

To clutch the feeling of a better life
Get education not just education half way
But that education of the head, heart and mind
That we reflect in our everyday life
Transcending to our everyday lifestyles

A license to a better life
In starting life on a beautiful way
With education an individual is equip
To stand shoulder to shoulder with mean men
That makes things to happen

Little wonder education
The the centre piece on which
Human life is run technically or non
Everything rise and fall on education
Little wonder is refer to license to a better life.

TO EDUCATE IS TO LIBERATE

Over the years the search by men
To acquire this and that in life
Sum up to the seeking of knowledge
In betterment of a good life
That man needs to upgrade its living standard

And this search goes on and on
The quest to liberate mankind
Out of the obscurity of mediocrity
Just to liberate himself from
The shadow of ignorant that follows him

Education becomes the way out
Of this ignorant which we lead to liberation
Of the mind bringing health totality
To mankind in liberating mankind
From the shackles of been a mediocre

To educate is to liberate
Education serves the wheels
That drives exposure of the mind
To meet up with innovation
Of the modern day in the eyes of technology.

GENERATION OF PAMPERED KIDS

A child left to himself 

Will bring shame
To the family and the society as a well
Charity begins at home 

And ends out there

Today’s untrained child 

Will become tomorrow’s spoilt child
Today unchurch child 

Will become tomorrow criminal

We live in the days filled
With the 21st century parent
Who cast blind eye 

To all the beautiful nonsense
Exhibited by their offspring
With the slogan that goes on

He is still a small child
Let him be and enjoy his childhood
She is still a small child growing up
Give her what she wants don’t deprive her
Generation of pampered kids

They go from infancy
To become spoilt grown ups
Voids of manners and lack respect
As they can engage adult and elders
In an unruling talk lashing 

Out their licking uncontrolled tongue

That we land them in an endless
Future war where 

They have spoilt everything
While long the one who promise them is gone
On the journey of an inevitable quiet end
Generation of pampered kids

See them around offline and online
So rude too heady to contain
They live as if they own their life
And control the world like everyone
Is underneath beneath their foot 

Waster of resources
Nothing matters to them
They don’t regard men
Talkless about God who created them
Feel above the law
Generation of pampered kids

…A WORD FOR THE TERM

Of which you will give account at the close of day

A conducive atmosphere for learning and working condition
Did you say you perform up to the best in the last term?
How about that your responsibility towards your staffs and pupils

Make sure you do your best in all ramifications
Will all should never look back to the last term success
Because if you do you cannot achieve something worth while
I challenge you this term to do more
