In an S.S.S
3 mathematics class, the teacher was taking a topic that the students find
rather too hard. After enduring the torture for while John raised up his hand
to ask a question, the teacher permitted him to speak.
JOHN: “Sir,
the topic is very difficult, I don’t understand it at all, please sir is it
part of our syllabus?’
TEACHER:”Actually,
John, it is not, but it is a topic that you will encounter in the university,
it will be an advantage for you then if you know it now”.
JOHN: “In
that case sir, then you can count me out because I have no intention of going
to a university, not now.”
TEACHER: “Why!,
John you are a very brilliant and promising lad, that is not a wise decision to
take”
JOHN: “Sir,
am sorry, for me it in fact the wisest thing, considering the prevailing
reality”.
TEACHER:
“How do you mean?”
JOHN: “Thank
you sir, you see I came this far in order to know how to read, write,
calculate, communicate, and interact with people. After my WAEC, I will go to
my uncle in Ladipo Market to learn the auto spare parts business for two years,
from there I will proceed to learn about tokunbo vehicles trade, in four years
time I will have my own spare parts shop and also be able to buy and sell a few
cars, in about six years I will be fully established to some extent. By then l
will be able to employ graduates to manage and grow my business for me, while I
go to school with comfort and leisure without the stress of JAMB, enrol for a
simple degree and master program possibly on on-line or Open University, go for
P.HD if I like. So give or take in say 12-15 years from today, I will be a
successful auto dealer, employing even my classmates. And also an educated
elite.”
