Foundation Problem
The present example of Nigeria Education framework, especially the Tertiary Institutions has been an issue of sensitivity toward the administration, accomplices, educationists, managers (home and abroad), graduates and diverse establishments. This paper took a gander at the present pattern of tertiary education as far as educational modules, instructors, students, funding, facilities, industrial collaborations and additionally showing techniques with the point of view of proposing the way ahead.
Writing Review
Nigeria is as often as possible implied as the "Giant of Africa", inferable from its inconceivable people and economy. With around 184 million occupants, Nigeria is the most jammed country in Africa and the seventh most swarmed country on the planet. Nigeria has one of the greatest masses of youth on the planet.
Starting 2015, Nigeria was named the world 's twentieth greatest economy, worth more than $500 billion and $1 trillion to the extent apparent GDP and purchasing power balance exclusively. It surpassed South Africa to twist
Nigeria is a country with abundant resources and the potential to be a very powerful nation, but it is hampered by many problems. These problems are caused by Nigerias colonization by England. Because of this intrusion on their way of life, their future was altered dramatically. The nation of Nigeria as a whole has suffered greatly as a country because of this colonization, its problem is rooted in the way it was colonized and ruled.
The country of Nigeria is located in West Africa, sharing land borders with Chad, Niger, Benin, and Cameroon. The country covers 923,768 square kilometers, making it the 32nd largest nation in the world. This is the most populous country in Africa with more than 160 million people living there. Nigeria has three major ethnic groups the Hausa-Fulani, the Igbo, and the Yoruba. These Three groups constitute about 70 percent of the population (Chigozie, 2016).
An experience I feel fortunate to have had is the Nigerian education system. As a result of my journey through the flawed but wholesome education system, I have developed many skills at such a young age. I have learned to take initiative in my classes, because, a common tradition in Nigerian schools is for teachers to test students on topics not covered and justify those actions by giving students a scheme of work, which is essentially a list of topics to be covered in the school year. Going through this system, I have learned to befriend older students and ask them for their notes, to study, as the Nigerian school curriculum hasn’t changed in 50 years, much like the stance on corporal punishment in schools. According to my parents I had it easy as in their time both girls and boys were whipped on their rear but currently girls are hit on their palms, fingertips, and their legs, which is progress. However, the instruments of pain have not changed as, students are hit with cables, kobokos, omoroguns and pankeres. I personally have a memento of a beating gone wrong in the form of a scar. The beating gone wrong happened when I was 4 and a teacher hit me so hard, my head was knocked toward the corner of my desk where an exposed nail ripped the skin of my jaw. Interestingly, this was one of the main motivations behind my wanting to be a pediatrician because I was stitched without anesthesia while being held down by four nurses. While the Nigerian education system has its flaws, I
Education is the process of learning and acquiring knowledge at school from a teacher, receiving knowledge at home from a parent, a family member, and even friend. Education is a key that allows people to move up in the world, seek better jobs, and succeed in life. Education is one factor that affects job positions people hold, advance in their further career, the income they make, and the title they hold. The more educated a person is, the more prestige and power that person holds. Education improves the quality of life, reduces ignorance, and exposes frontiers and opportunities not previously handled. Education also focuses on the values, attitudes and behaviors that enable individuals to learn to live together in a world characterized

Nigeria is a country with great history from centuries ago. However it is evident when
“Nigeria is a patchwork of distinctive regions, including deserts, plains, swamps, mountains, and steamy jungles.” It has one of the largest river systems in the world, including the Niger Delta, the third largest delta on Earth. Much of Nigeria is covered with plains and savannas. Major grown crops in Nigeria are beans, sesame, cashew nuts, cocoa beans, groundnuts, corn, melon, rice, soybeans, and yams. (National Geographic)

There are certain degrees of stereotyping on African education as a whole. Even in China, a country still in trouble with its educational system, people tend to make bad judgments on education situation in Africa. But the situation is actually better than what we think. After years of civil war, Liberia’s education is rebuilding from debris caused by tumult.
Before we begin, let’s take a look at the country and its environs. Nigeria a former British Colony, located in the western part of Africa, it shares borders with Benin, Cameroun, and Niger. A growing population of 150million, labour force of 51million (70% Agriculture, 10% industry and 20% service), urbanisation is less than 40%, GDP is over $300billion, Per capita income is $2300. Nigeria is blessed with different cultures, languages and ethnic groups (252 in total); this was due to the colonization of the British in the early 19th century (Columbia Encyclopaedia). The British amalgamated its protectorates in 1914 to enable stable control and governance which made them create one Nation of Nigeria formed from all the groups, community and empires around the Niger area under their control. Nigeria had her independence on the 1st of October 1960 and since then various civil wars, political and religious unrest in the country to share power and resources amicably.
To pose the question, “what is education?” one would anticipate different answers from different persons. This is because education, as a concept, has no generally and universally accepted definition since every educationist will define the concept based on the factors he considers best as inclusive in the concept. We shall however consider a few of these definitions and employ them as the working definition(s) for this essay.
It is a common and well known saying that history repeats itself. This saying has more to it than the literal definition of it, it means we need to study it and learn from it, in order to avoid repetition. Often times we have that opportunity to study and learn from history in a way that can impact the future, in a hopefully positive way. In terms of education, improvement and innovation is always a top priority. If we can properly combine the study of other cultures with the study of history, we can have an extremely effective tool for learning ways to positively impact our own generation and future. In this essay, I will attempt to uncover the differences between current education and traditional African education, with intention of learning how to apply it today. The idea behind studying history is that it is a vital part of learning and adopting successful techniques and a good tool for avoiding the repetition of mistakes. If pre-colonial Africa can have success without the resources and technologies we have today, then it is valuable to invest time and effort in mirroring some of their methods.
