Illiteracy, Ignorance and just plain ol' Stupid!!!

I'm not going to give you a monotonous lecture detailing the difference and simililarities between these three pple modifing words, I'm going to tell you as it hit me when I had a similar conversation wiv someone a few days back....be like sey dis post go long small but I trust u na...just dey scroll dey go!!!

Illiteracy: This is the lack of a education. The lack of a structured form of knowledge impartation, Illiteracy constructs many blockades for pple like Low self-esteem, low expectations, Mediocre aspirations and a pesimistc attitude. In most cases an illiterate will end up being ignorant but sometimes they surprise us and end up being very cognizant and successful due to hard work and a willing spirit to overcome their limitations. Illiteracy is the reason why I didn't smack my lecturer in the head and puncture the tires of his Fiat punto a weeks ago wen he gave us two essays each requiring 7000 words. Illiteracy is the reason why I went to a University that doesn't allow boyz and girlz to talk to each other in public unless they want to go home indefinitely and still survived till graduation, this same illiteracy was wat made me chew grains of coffee in an attempt to stay awake so I cud read for an exam d next day, drinking it seemed not to work so I took some in my hand nd threw it in my mouth...bitter as friggin Ogwu iba (Traditional Igob malaria medicine). It sha worked and I stayed up all night except that d next day I felt like used tissue paper, I wrote d exam alright but I was functioning like a retard afterwards, I cudn't even sleep, it was like I was high or something, I cudn't even talk well sef...imagine a turtle on crack...I think that's how I felt

Ignorance: Ignorance is lack, the lack of uselful information, lack of applicable information, lack of knowldege. Ironically, an illterate doesn't always end up ignorant and an educated man can be a fountain of ignorance as well. Ignorace is like a cancer that spreads as the fruits of illiteracy and the pride of the education take hold of the common sense of a man. Ignorance is subtle in the beginning starting wiv simple mistakes, it never reveals itself to its symbiote but will never pass up an opportunity to embarrass it wivout the host even knowing. Pride leads to ignorance and is an excuse for ignorance to manifest so consequently proud pple are usually stupid...why? cos common sense dictates that wen in need of information humility will always build a bridge to the supply. Ignorance can also be a result of unenlightenment and contrary to popular belief enlightenment doesn't always come wiv literacy. I watched a sort of interview on youtube about some journalist abi na politician dat said black kids are kids wiv no hope and will probably end up as gangbangers and drug dealers. He said we have usually have a low IQ and will more often than not amount to nothing in life and are a danger to the society...Abeg just watch it for urself nd judge cos I was so pissed ehn, dis guy was actually d reason why I started this post!

Rascism and it's political or societal issues are very touchy subjects and I usually don't partake in the arguments...but this is just wrong, wrong stupid and very Ign'ant...I'd like to take a metal pipe and play badminton wiv his cranium but that wud just be proving his point wudn't it? There's a saying that wen the lights go out we are all d same colour/black, unfortunately some pple can't help but sneak a flashlight into the room so they can still tell d difference.

Stupidity: This is an excessive, unadulterated exhibition of ignorance. Unfortunately the enlightened and Ign'ant are susceptible to the manifestation of stupidity. Sometimes it's minor and neglible and other times it's just to glaring and unforgivable that all you can say is "YOU ARE STUPID!" In the case of the literate and enlightened it's a chance to get a glimpse of the imperfections in our nature and these little pockets of weakness help remind us that we are merely human and make mistakes. As for the Ign'ant and illiterate it's a chance to see them in their raw form wivout pretence and conformity. I might be willing to overlook and even consider the more comical aspect of the bribery and palm greasing cancer of our dear nation but sometimes it's more stupidity than an illegal avenue of income. My younger brother, age 14, came to spend his easter holiday wiv us in the UK...d lucky bastard lol...wen I was his age I use to spend easter holidays in the village...last borns are also so lucky ehn! Wen he was going back he had to travel alone and wen he arrived at the International airport in naija you'd think he'd get minimal hassle coz he's young and travelling alone right? Highest wud be a routine questioning concerning the reason why he was alone shey?...trust naija na! we dey always dey different. Customs told my 14 yr old brother that he won't be allowed to enter the country cos he had contraband...contra'gini u ask? Imagine how scared he was, then they said they'd let him enter if he gave them sonetin' small, Classic last born naivieness kicks in and my bro doesn't understand wat they mean, then they elaborate on how £50 can grant my legal nigerian brother entry into his own country which he had just been barred 4rm because he just arrived on an international flight 4rm a country whose exchange rate value turns their dignity into mush. He tells them he hasn't got any money and is a student in naija who just wen to see his family for easter and is going back to skool that weekend, Omo they no hear word o! it turned into an bargain for entry, they asked for £45...he said he didn't have, how about £3o...e no get, £20 and you can enter wiv ur bags...I have no money on me I'm just 14, you know wat? we'll settle for £5, surely u have £5 on you...he said he didn't. They got annoyed and detained him for almost an hour...dis is a friggin 14yr old boy oh! I doubt he's ever bribed someone b4 and now he's being treated like a drug dealer. He had to pretend he was using the toilet just so he could call my Dad if he had any chance of leaving the airport...tell me this isn't just plain ol' stupid
