“Education Is Not The Acquisition Of Degrees .....” — Didi-Omah Explain What Education Truly Is!

Education is not the acquisition of degrees, education is the acquisition of knowledge. In the world of man and spirits, education still remains the key. Executive, information gives you knowledge, knowledge is power — that is to say, the kind of information you consume is equal to the kind of knowledge you operate in. 

Everyone operates in the level of their knowledge. You are local because you have the local Knowledge. For you to operate in the global space, you need the global knowledge. Street knowledge cannot secure you the field in international stadium, you need international knowledge to play there.

Schooling only makes you literate, it is investment in knowledge, it is insights that makes you a giant in the world we live in. I graduated from the top university in the country, will not guarantee you the top places in the society. What you know have not given you what you want, go and know more. Seek more knowledge, get more insights — so you cannot be equally yoked with your peers! For you to outsmart your peers, you need outstanding insights.

What separate the poor man from the rich man is knowledge, not fat bank account; knowledge that drives results, knowledge that takes you to dine with kings and princesses — and nothing empowers above insights. No prayer can empower you above insights. There are many people that graduated from community schools that are making waves, while some from well tutored standard schools are not even known in the street where they reside.

Life does not reward efforts, like I always say, life rewards the knowledge behind it. Executive, education links next level, promotion and power. Next level are for those that are serving in service. If you are not serving in service — you can never get to the next level, even ten years prayer cannot.

Promotion is given to those that add values. You don't get promoted by what you have, but by what you adds. It is the value that you adds, and not what you have — that guarantees you promotion. That is inspired by insights — education is the key. Executive, we need to acquire sustainable knowledge for unlimited achievements.

Sustainable investment in knowledge, is the gateway to unlimited achievements. Knowledge! So how is education a scam — that's a deception from the devil; resist it quickly. Education is not the acquisition of certificates, education is the acquisition of knowledge. Who is an educated person? Executive, for you to say this is an educated person — what should we see?

An educated person is not one with numerous collections of degrees — certificates; no! An educated person is one that applied what he has learnt within the classroom to solve real world problems. Someone that takes responsibility to make impacts in the society with the knowledge she acquired from within the blocks.

There are many people who graduated from the best and well-known university of the world, and they have no footprints in the street where they live. There are people that graduated from the top standard schools, be it primary and secondary level — yet, they have no high records in the state they reside in. 

Education is learning from around your environment, from books, from the classroom — and acquiring knowledge that makes impacts to the society at large — when implemented. So you are not educated because you have certificate or degree, you are educated because you took what you have learnt to influence the world, to make impacts in the society, to solve real world problems. So I graduated with first class and no good works to show of it, is just having a paper saying first class. And that's a big problem! We here celebrate certificates, but in the developed countries, they celebrate discoveries. 

So ask yourself, did I just passed through school out here. Or I passed through school and make changes in the community I live in. Continuous education is the key to lasting success and remaining relevant in our society.
