Misplaced priorities or is it a deliberate devaluation?

Point 1. A top civil servant can afford to pay higher fees abroad for his kids because he can't see the value he is paying for back at home meanwhile he is  in charge of the domestic educational program! Does he think the people who he was appointed to guard are of less value? Our educational syllabus is flawed because its content has nothing to do with its environment! We are training kids to learn what's happening in foreign countries; so why are we surprised that our kids are aspiring to work abroad?

Foreign companies that we are inviting to come and invest are studying our terrain and are unable to employ our own citizens because they know nothing of their country to offer value for salary!

Point 2. What sporting events do we setup when even to bring Arsenal to Nigeria had failed? What superstar have we produced in the last 5years to draw our kids into sport? Clearly not knowing that sport breeds strategic mindset! We think Oyinbo is stupid for promoting sport on a grass root level! Where are the companies to sponsor these sport events which indirectly promotes their business?
How much have we educated our supposedly educated parents to support their boys and girls into sport rather than fall for societal perception of players as riff rafts.

Point 3. Have you seen the level of our movie production where illiteracy is perpetuated yet we fail to notice people are buying pirated american blockbusters that have entertainment and educational value at a higher price!
