A Cry for Change

Dear steemians and my fellow Nigerian students, I greet you all in the name of our Lord Jesus. Peace be unto you.

Here am I in my small white house lost in thoughts.

This is my final year; a chemical engineering student. I know not how to use Aspen Hysys.

Yet they say I'm doing well academically.
I am forced to spend hours cramming formulas so as to please my lecturer, I am coherced to read irrelevant materials while my peers in the developed world are generating new ideas and solving the world present crises.

I use phones, I utilise technology, I'm studying engineering, yet I know not how to use Math lab or Spreadsheet professionally; they say I'm doing well.

Shall I affect the world by doing well in class?

Today I challenge my self and I challenge you as well. It is not just well to do well in class: do well in understanding of things greater than exam questions, do well for the nation, let the world know that yes even in a mist of "never do well " Nigerians, there still exist some exceptional chemical engineers.

Let's do well beyond class. Let's come to terms with the true principles of our discipline. Let's change the world. Change begins with me and you......
