It was a stinker, when Edo State Government last week, during a town hall meeting, opened a can of worms from the archive.The unpalatable stench filled the air ; the venue where Governor Adams Oshiomhole gathered his audience to unveil a rigorous investigation and audit report of Primary Schools in the State.
.
The report not only revealed massive falsification of age of primary school teachers in the state public schools but also showed that 789 teachers out of 1,379 obtained their primary school leaving certificates before the age of 8 or 9. Isn't this incredible?
.
Oshiomhole, who needed to be assisted by the ICT Managing Director, Mrs. Yemi Keri went further to reveal how more fragmented the society had degenerated than our forefathers could have ever imagined.
.
The schism is so intense that if immediate corrective steps are not taken, God forbid, the state may see even more turbulent times as exemplified in his Baker and Bread philosophy.
.
The writing on the wall is clear for all to read that if the baker of the bread wants everyone in the society dead, all he needed do was to add a pinch of deadly substance in the flour and the deed is done.
.
The catastrophe, no doubt would be debilitating with a higher degree of causalities, if we compare the teacher who sows bad knowledge on the pupils to the baker.
