What can power and money earn us?


As i question the credibility of some institutions in my region, have a peek through those in your hood. Today I will dive into the academic institutions of higher learning; the universities, the training institutions etc etc.
Why should I employ a product from these institutions? Why should i?
Take for instance one of the training institutions, where some individuals sign up to impart knowledge in others and fail to honour the commitment. If you do not want to do something, leave it be; for it is an injustice to this global village when you connive with your students to lie to the world! Because of your failure to show up in class, teach, impart knowledge, all your students perform very poorly. How do you then cover up your failure? An entire class cannot fail your paper without raising eyebrows at you. So you quickly figure out a way to fix it! You boldly demand for money from each student who in the panic and anxiety to finish that chapter of their lives pay you the money and you hike their marks up and voila! Everyone in your class passes your subject. Really! Who is fooling who? You have protected your job as no one will come to question why your students fail(ed), but these students have gone back with nothing! NOTHING. They are “unemployable”!


Let’s look at this in another angle.
Take a recent example in one of the universities where the student needed to run for office, but had a retake, and because of that retake, the chances of running for office crashed down and scattered all over the space. Allow me to talk a little about this student for I know the student well enough to wonder how they got admitted in law school, for the student almost cannot spell their own name, ok? But that is for another day. The student had the audacity to attack the unit for malice! Oh boy! Some people have guts! But that is to be expected from this student in question who comes from a family that feeds from blood money and when they roar, everyone cowers in their corner! This should partly explain how the student got themselves admitted in law school. Money! Power! Position! Name it! Our systems are so porous that these things happen every day and everywhere!
Back to the student’s failure to excel in academia; the unit is put to test and ends up in chaos, the bootlickers who fight for this student pick up the fight and the few credible individuals who are usually too few and powerless to stand their ground are left wallowing in the wind as usual. The lecturer who marked the paper is pushed between a hard surface and a rock, even when he stands his ground and a few individuals rally behind him, somehow just out of the blue, the marks of this student is changed! How? Power, money, and all you can think of

Imagine employing products from such institutions? I bet you can picture their performance level. Is this what we desire in our industries? People who are so raw or half-cooked and have wobbly minds to think of the growth of their institutions let alone build their own?

We need our academic institutions to filter out moles and revive their credibility
