Ace Comedian and renowned father of comedy in Nigeria, Atunyota Alleluya Akporobomerere aka Ali Baba has
expressed his displeasure at the fallen standards of education in
Nigeria especially for the girl child, a situation he fingers as
affecting even the First Lady of the nation, Dame Patience Jonathan.
While speaking in an exclusive interview with
Hiphopworld recently, Ali Baba pointed that the education of the girl
child beyond the primary and secondary school levels is important and
should be seen as priority as this would go a long way in sustaining
growth and development in the nation as a whole.
The king of comedy while buttressing his
point, made reference to the First Lady who has been a victim of
consistent public jest owing to her alleged grammatical
mis-constructions and errors.
In his word:
“The education of the girl child is very important because if Patience Jonathan were educated, we will not have the problem that people think we have with her not being able to speak English”.
He went on to say – “Having a primary and
secondary education helps a child to develop (into) whatever the child
wants to become later. It is obvious that Patience (Jonathan) did not
get any of the above, or did not get it properly”.
He concluded by saying that there are people
like the First Lady teaching some other students now in our primary,
secondary and even tertiary institutions and advocated that the problem
be tackled from the root and a permanent solution be put in place.
