'SCHOOL NA SCAM" The lies GENZs like to hear..
<p>“School na scam.”</p><p>You’ve heard it... maybe you’ve even said it with pride, after writing a 3-hour exam that looked like a battle between your brain and the devil’s handwriting. </p><p><br/></p><p>Or after seeing one guy wey no even finish secondary school now driving Benz while you dey queue for photocopy under sun.</p><p><br/></p><p>Let’s be honest, school can frustrate person.</p><p>You spend four, sometimes six years learning what feels like ancient grammar and irrelevant theories. </p><p><br/></p><p>You cram definitions that vanish from your head the moment you drop your pen. Then you come out, certificate in hand, only to be greeted by “No experience, no job.”</p><p><br/></p><p>At that point, “School na scam” sounds like the most reasonable quote of the century.</p><p><br/></p><p>But hold on small o..🤔</p><p>Before you cancel school like a bad date, let’s look at the bigger picture.</p><p><br/></p><p>That guy driving Benz? He might be doing legit business… or maybe he’s just spending fast money that fades faster than hot puff-puff.</p><p><br/></p><p>However, you see that thing school gives knowledge, exposure, ability to reason, write, communicate, and navigate the world</p><p><br/></p><p> e no dey show for face, but it lasts longer than quick success.</p><p><br/></p><p>School might not make you rich instantly, but it builds something deeper... understanding.</p><p>The same education people call scam is what helps you read, write, argue, plan, and even know that “na scam” is bad in the first place.</p><p><br/></p><p>It’s what helps you question things, think smart, and see beyond the surface.</p><p><br/></p><p>Let’s face it, some of the richest and wisest people in the world didn’t just rely on school; they built on it.</p><p><br/></p><p>Because school is not supposed to hand you success on a platter, it’s supposed to give you the tools to create your own.</p><p><br/></p><p>So maybe the problem isn’t school.</p><p>Maybe it’s the system.</p><p>Maybe it’s how we were taught to see school as the final destination, instead of a foundation.</p><p><br/></p><p>Think about it, the same school that teaches you how to read and think, is the same thing that allows you to say “school na scam” confidently online.</p><p>Irony wey dey sweet. 😅</p><p><br/></p><p>School might not guarantee wealth, but ignorance guarantees failure.</p><p><br/></p><p>And in a world where knowledge rules everything, from business to tech to even street hustle.. education, in whatever form, still wins.</p><p><br/></p><p>So next time you hear “school na scam,” just smile, because the real scam is believing that ignorance will pay better than wisdom.</p><p><br/></p><p>You still dey reason say school na scam so? 😜</p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p><a class="tc-blue" href="https://twocents.space/insights/tag/big">#BIG</a> DEE</p><p><a class="tc-blue" href="https://twocents.space/insights/tag/schoolnobescam">#SchoolNoBeScam</a></p>
