What a last couple of months! I always thought I knew what "busy," "occupied," "stressed" meant until I arrived at MIT and found out first hand. The song of my favorite artist- P-Square- comes to mind "E no easy oh." My goodness! However, no matter how busy I have been, the mind cannot stop to wonder about things not related to chemical engineering.
Because of the hate emails I have gotten and friends harassing me because I have not posted for a while now, I have succumbed to their endless pressure. As an added benefit, I shall use this post to celebrate my upcoming birthday.
Now, the topic I shall be writing about today strikes a cord among many Nigerians, both those in Nigeria and those abroad (especially international students). If I had written this post last year in 2011, I would certainly have received harsh comments and insults not worth repeating. Nonetheless, it is a topic that is vital to address when one analyzes the Nigerian education system, and is proposing ways to fix and restructure it. The topic is not unique to Nigeria, but one widely known. It is the meaning of service. What does it mean to serve?
