Newsypeople – Nigerian rapper Vector has been pretty vocal about wanting to shake things up in Nigeria’s education scene. Recently, he shared some thoughts about how important it is to really focus on our cultural heritage.
In an interview with Reminisce on Pulse Fun Facts, Vector laid out his vision, which is all about keeping our diverse cultures and traditions alive. He really believes that cultural education is at the heart of building a strong national identity and bringing everyone together.
What he’s saying is that if he had the chance, he’d make sure Nigerian students put more emphasis on their cultural roots in school. He thinks it’s super important to mix cultural studies into the curriculum so that kids can really connect with who they are.
For instance, Vector mentioned that in places like Yorubaland and Igbo Land, local languages should get a lot more respect in the classroom than they currently do. This way, students can really get a handle on their heritage and feel a stronger bond with their cultural backgrounds.
Vector even said,
“If I could change anything in Nigeria, I would restrict Nigerian thinking to the traditional way.”
What he means by that is he wants to see schools prioritize cultural subjects more so that students can really know and appreciate their heritage. He believes that if we do this, it could help hold together the fabric of Nigerian society and make people proud of their local traditions and languages.
He also pointed out that, while tech is cool and all, it shouldn’t take away from the value of our culture. He put it this way:
“the only thing that sustains us is our culture.”
This shows how crucial cultural identity is, acting like a mental anchor for folks. By putting the spotlight on cultural education, he thinks that Nigerians can build a deeper sense of community and belonging. He’s all about finding that sweet spot in education where we value both modern skills and our traditional knowledge.
And you know, his thoughts about education tie into a bigger conversation about national identity in Nigeria. With over 250 ethnic groups, each bringing something unique to the table, he sees a chance for a more united society. By weaving these cultures into our education, Vector hopes we can appreciate our differences while also coming together as one.
