Last year, I was on these twitter streets pushing for students who were deterred by their JAMB scores to stay motivated and educated, and today it's CGPA when we all know that graduating the Nigerian higher institution is an extreme sport.
"If you're smart why did you graduate with a second class lower?"
A few years back you weren't you the advocate for thousands of wrongly published JAMB results? The only reason you noticed was because you were involved in the prep but now you suddenly have amnesia.
I was interviewing a young lady this morning who graduated with a Second Class Lower degree. She insisted that she was smart.
I then asked her, “If you are smart, why did you graduate with a Second Class Lower?”
She suddenly broke down in tears.
I asked her why she was crying, and she explained that she lost her mother in her first year at university and her father in her second year.
The emotional trauma affected her concentration, and she struggled to complete her education while dealing with the pain of losing both parents.
I will give her a chance to prove herself.
But this experience has left me with a troubling question:
Does our education system make adequate provisions for young people who go through such devastating experiences?
How many brilliant young people have we written off because their grades failed to reflect their true abilities, without ever asking what they went through?

As I said, Mike and Bryan made this movie out of pure spite. This all stems from Avatar fans making fun of Korra for always losing in the avatar state. Their comments in recent days about how Avatar fans give aang a pass while blaming Korra for her own actions confirms this.
If Korra was Aang during the air nomad genocide and she somehow found out about the invasion, she'd decide to take on the entire fleet herself at the peak of Sozen's comet with just air bending and when she gets wiped out with everyone else, they'll say she was just a girl.
It's not Korra I do not like it's the debilitating writing quality since ATLA and how we're forced to accept it as normal or worse, gaslit to bear the sexist, racist, queerphobic tag for pointing out clear writing discrepancies.

The fire nation planned a genocide unbeknownst to Aang and the air nomads. Aang isn't to blame for that.
We watch EVERYONE close to Korra question, distrust, and get into it with Unalaq... lmao 😭
Korra lost her connection as a direct result of her own actions.
It is hard to feel sorry for her when she's the reason for at least half her issues.
Should have added racism and made it a trifecta.
‘Avatar’ creators Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko say much of the hate toward Korra stems from misogyny and homophobia, pointing out that fans blame her for losing the past lives but don’t hold Aang accountable for the Air Nomads’ extinction:
“They hold Korra to a different standard. I think there's a lot of misogyny and homophobia. The idea we hate Korra is not true."
I slept and woke up and started seeing this nonsense and y'all just let it happen?
