AMERICA HAS 99 PROBLEMS, EDUCATION IS ONE OF THEM (a la Jay-Z)

Although the number of universities in the world is rare, plenty are in the United States, and this country provides financial assistance to those who consider formal education important. Lately, efforts are made to forgive debts owed by mostly young people in this regard, who have chosen the path that is said to close the gap between the haves and the have-nots.

Education is “the great equalizer,” in an increasingly modern world that demands particular knowledge and skills for a profession. It is “the act or process of imparting or acquiring general knowledge, developing the power of reasoning and judgement, and generally preparing oneself or others, intellectually, for a mature life.”

I come from a country with a college that opened in 1827.It was the first institution of higher learning in Africa, south of the Sahara, nicknamed the Athens of West Africa.

Fourah Bay College, one of the two constituent colleges of the University of Sierra Leone at the time, was affiliated with Durham University, N.E. London, England. Its motto remains “Non Sibi Sed Aliis”-not for oneself but for others. The other, Njala University College, was attached to the University of Chicago, Illinois, US, which I attended. Almost everyone went to these colleges, tuition-free, stayed on its campuses free and received allowances every semester.

If a third world country can do this, what is wrong with America? Does the GOP not see any problem with illiteracy? Well, when you do not know a problem, do not worry about it. Why stand in the way of student loan forgiveness? Listen to a former First Lady of the US who is not highly regarded in some quarters, read the most common Christian prayer. Watch her say, “Forgive those who TRESPASSES against us.”

Now, read my engagement with Trumpers on Facebook:

Former First Lady Michelle Obama is a female.

Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, I told him after he was radio silent.
REPUBLIC & DEMOCRATIC. I told him his Republic is undemocratic, our freedoms and

liberties will be gone, our Constitution violated and his Dictatorship will be rejected. After I responded with the 45th Lady’s Lord’s prayer video, the whole conversation was deleted but I had managed to get these screenshots by then. Haha !

Thanks for lending me your attention. Be NICE!

This is why we teach, not for the money. You impact their lives for life. An 8th Grader to his principal.

To teach in schools in Texas, you must have studied Texas history, and you should have a teaching diploma. There are no benefits, and the pay is low for a substitute teacher, so you do it for love and dedication to young people. It costs you more to do it than you bring in.

  1. I dismissed one of them saying, he had used up all the time I had for him. The GOP is a party with no heart. “Just because you have a heart does not mean you have a heart.” They are heartless!

  2. Listen to some rap music sometimes, would you? Make sure you choose the radio version to bypass obscenities. Right now, I recommend J.Cole’s “All My Life.”
