The Dangers of Academic Credentials

Learning is wrapped in questioning. Education is simply not going to school. What majority refer to as education is absolutely not. They failed to understand that real education is questioning in disguise. Oftentimes, I had lost in thoughts with an overwhelming curiosity. My curiosity got me into thinking that led to my several questioning prompts, such as; how did education began? Who are the founders of education to humanity? Which university/ies did they attend? How did they come about the idea of education?   Interestingly, I realized that they went to universities of questioning and thought .

RADICAL SHIFT AUDIENCE: My Address

Greetings from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Please accept my heartfelt apologies for being unable to attend the summit today. I went to great lengths to make sure I was a part of the RADICAL SHIFT. Despite my absence, I keep the programme in the highest regard and consider it to be very dear to me.   Despite the fact that I was unable to attend, my thoughts and prayers are unmistakably with you. I would have preferred RADICAL SHIFT summit over a million dollars if I had to choose between the two. My hope is that you will all leave with a renewed determination to effect lasting radical change to our society.    I'd like to express my gratitude to The Carpenters' Touch, the summit's organisers, as well as the program's convener (Mr. Chuks Chukwueke), who is a close friend and mentor of mine. He has been a vital part of my growth journey. What I admire the most about him is his desire to make a difference by raising a generation of undiluted, unpolluted, incorruptible, unrelent...
