Nice to hear that you are teaching in Manipur. I am from Manipur imphal just 2kms away from the university.
Very well articulated, learning should be encouraged both inside and outside the classroom.
This guy is a genius, keep it up Nwanne m nwoke
Congrats Lucky Man. Because you're in debt, I don't believe you're teaching free of charge. You are actually teaching and living off the sweat of others. A university education is not a scam, most of the inventions and other things you enjoy today are products of University educated researchers.
I believe you trivialize a PhD because you don't have one or know the work it entails to get one, also probably due to you being fortuitously being appointed as an Assistant Professor in India (which may not be recognized by some acclaimed Universities). The world is not the same as when Achebe, Soyinka, Nwapa and co became professors without having Phds or fellowships. They were also beneficiaries of the indigenisation drive of the Nigerian government as at the time (this happened in many professional spheres at the time)
All the best in your career.
Sir you've said my mind.

For me, I completely agree with you that University education is a big scam. I actually struggled with the educational system because I hate to read for exams. In fact, I hate to be graded. It seems to me that I am being customized. ''But how we go do" hahahahah. Learning should be free, honestly. Thanks for the good works.
Wow this guy is awesome
