INTRODUCTION
The world today is different, as we knew it before, courtesy science and Technology -that made her a village… do we refuse to make changes that the young Nigerian will grow in...? … the old cloths (our educational set up) are bad; they just do not serve their purpose any longer. In the set up, we create nothing but test-takers and exam-holist, rested with suspicious mind that lack positive imagination which lead to faulty action….Some effect of such bad set up give way to…. People cutting corners and use quacks …http://vocational-problemszonkwa.blogspot.com/..., Banks misuse depositors’ money..., and appointments are not by merits… Governors in Nigeria, not obeying legislated set Laws... some Nigerian professor(s) are only interested in crushing dreams, stealing ideas and validating their own ego… http://reformoneducation.blogspot/
