Education is Everything #SOC119 #Nigeria #NigerianAmerican #NigerianCulture #AfricaCulture

Most African parents are very active in the lives of their children.

The studying part is not just for bragging, Africans tend to look at the practicality of the profession.

Can you survive on what you intend to study. For Africans, it's about survival and thriving because lack is the biggest challenge.

Unfortunately their countries are still 3rd world … With so many witch doctahz!

In college I knew a family whose father was an engineering professor at the university we attended. He was originally from Egypt.
He insisted that his son go to college for engineering, even though the son had no interest in engineering.
But, the son did what his father told him to do.
After he graduated he did two things. He joined the military and went back to school to become a medical doctor.
He never used his engineering degree.

Always found it interesting that the dad insisted his son get the engineering degree even though his son was interested in a degree and career path that was perfectly fine.

Your parents just want you to be able to support yourself and there's nothing wrong with that

It’s called having standards. We have forces in this country that love seeing the black Americans remain a sub class. You rise up from that by not doing hood shit.
