Nigerian students are so creative. We have students in primary schools already constructing mobile machines with little resources, it is really amazing how much effort is put into something that benefits all. Students possess unfathomable potentials.
The northern part of Nigeria is majorly the ignorant part of the country and the little percent of students that are serious in education have been able to produce meaningful inventions as recorded sometime in 2019 where young boys developed a method on how to create effects in movies as well as the invention of moving objects.
Physics is one subject that broadens the mindset, it is very particular in details. The rise to technological advancement is because of the hardwork invested on the knowledge gotten from classrooms and the surroundings. Aside the fact that students go out of their way as little as 15years of age to learn under a boss, to learn how to repair automobiles is overwhelming. We have them in the society and majority are called "apprentice". Technological innovations start from the brain, the manpower invested and ideas bring the birth of plenty innovations we can see. The story of a young boy that was able to construct a plane with wood is one fascinating experience to witness. Being able to innovate is another thing as this generation is advanced, there are students known as "human calculators", it is quite surprising to see students under the age of 18 solving technical mathematical problem off-hand without stressing themselves or reacting to unnecessary pressure. It is applaudable as well, to the parents or guardians for supporting the child.
In the world of art, we can see rapid developments. Students in higher institutions make cool cash from drawing. Art has gone beyond drawing with pencils and decorating with colors. It has opened and paved way for imaginations to come to life. We have modern Picassos as secondary school students and such feat was not just achieved in a day as consistency has a major role to play.
Bringing new things or norms is a big deal and no talent is a waste. Students are the major pioneers of anything new in the society. No matter how young or feeble they look, they are vibrant and evergreen in knowledge. Some students might not be sound academically but practically, they are gurus. It is really no one's fault as to where and how a student might tend to grab a particular knowledge that is being passed because truth be told, we have the early child "Ben Carsons" in our midst, slow to assimilate but very bright upstairs.
Support a child's dream, do not scold when it seems difficult to direct the child in the way of schooling, depriving him or her of the passion boiling inwards. Education is essential so is its application to the society. In fact, the application is best because nowadays, companies only employ you according to what you can achieve with ideas and not what you just read to pass in an examination.
