Fwd - We don’t know what we need to Learn! - by Irene Oghomwen Idiaghe May 17, 2011

I'm delighted to have discovered this blog.  I love it for its relevance to what happened to our friends after the Nigerian presidential election and for all the ideas it shares about our need to take control over our own education - all ideas very dear to my heart ref Dadamacadamy 

Irene Oghomwen Idiaghe writes "For those who feel they were forced to study the wrong courses, it’s very necessary for you to tell yourself , that your education, personal development and your fate lies in no one else’s hands but yours. Choose today what you need to learn, what you should learn and how you need to learn it."

We don’t know what we need to Learn!

Having gone through the previous blogs on this platform, I was particularly elated with the series II and its focus on the youths in northern Nigeria. This then brought a question to mind, what was the aspect of education that these youths lacked? Was it secondary or university education that these people needed? Was it moral education they needed? Of course, if we check out the profile of Abdul-Mutallab, we would realise that even a professor could turn out to be a potential terrorist someday.

So, the question arises, what should they (the northern dudes) have known? What do we need to learn? And who should educate us?

The answer to the first question boils down to our communities, our societies; what are our values? And what do we consider to be right or wrong?
