G BREAKING NEWS: JIHADIST KILL 18 CIVILIANS IN BURKINA FASO

 Suspected jihadists have killed 18 civilians in an attack in northern Burkina Faso, the governor of Sahel region said.

“The defence and security forces brought back the body of the nurse to give it to her family in Yalgo and secure the area to allow the burial of other victims,” Colonel Salfo Kabore said on Sunday.

Several similar attacks were carried out a week ago in the country’s north, with one on January 25 leaving 39 civilians dead in the neighbouring province of Soum, northwest of Seno.

A security source explained that during the massacre, which took place in Lamdamol village in Seno province Saturday, “the attackers, heavily armed and on motorbikes, literally executed the local inhabitants”.

A local health official, speaking from the town of Dori in the north, said the chief nurse at the nearby village of Lamdamol was among the victims.

“There is panic in the village and the surrounding area,” the official added, saying local people were fleeing the area towards the centre-north of the country.

Another security source said that the attack had come as a reprisal after jihadists had told local people to leave the area a few days earlier.

The security forces worked day and night to make the zone safe, “but it is difficult to be everywhere at once”, said the source.

Burkina Faso borders Mali to the northwest and Niger to the east, both countries that are struggling to contain a wave of lethal jihadist attacks.

Burkina Faso security forces, under-equipped and poorly trained, have not been able to counter the deadly raids in their territory, despite the help of foreign soldiers, notably French troops.

According to UN figures, the jihadist attacks in Mali, Niger and Burkina Faso killed 4,000 people in 2019 and caused an unprecedented humanitarian crisis, forcing 600,000 to flee their homes.

G EDUCATION: PRIVATE SCHOOL OWNER CALL ON THE GOVERNMENT FOR STANDARD EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM- JOLAOYE ADENIKE

A recent interaction with JOLAOYE ADENIKE , a proprietress of TEMREJ INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL EPE- LEKKI LAGOS.

The Nigerain system of education is very ineffective compared to other countries,in terms of preparing a skilled workforce for the society. Ineffective and outdated school curriculum is part of the problem. Nigeria also fall very short of the 25% quota of annual budget on education which makes our educational system not well funded, lacking of  infrastructure and skilled  teachers to train the coming generation.
Nigerian teachers are not skilled enough to produce a skilled work force for the economy. Part of the problem is the faulty educational system that produce the previous teachers. The Nigerian bureaucratic system in establishing a private establishment including schools had a lot of neck that has to be eradicated to make it start a business from corporate affairs commission to filing tax returns and revenue system which should all be done electronically. Another major problem is skilled well trained teachers to employ to give your school an edge in this very competitive educational sector. Therefore, no access to funding businesses in the country which also  is a problem that hinders one's establishment. Lack of basic efficient and fast internet network which you have to provide by yourself which also is a source of concern. Following his statement in quote "  I can say that I have been in educational system for  all my life as a student learning and also through the years I have had experience teaching either at a community service or a youth corper serving my father's land. I have also taught in some reputable institution within Epe community and outside Epe which now I have established my own school called TEMREJ INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL AT EPE which is almost four years by God's own doing.
