Igbobi College Taught Me Discipline – Osinbajo

Nigeria’s Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo has come out to say that there is a strong connection between the kind of education students receive in schools and what they turn out to be later in life.

He recently revealed this while speaking at an event, and Nigerians have been reacting.

According to him, the values he has imbibed till date and some of the competencies he has acquired in life are largely due to the impactful education he got at Igbobi College.

He added that what he and other old students got was total education that did not only place emphasis on strong academic performance, but also discipline.

His words, “Igbobi placed great value on academic, sports and literary achievements; so, you were called out on stage to receive prizes during the assembly, so you were recognised.”

“So if you excelled in sports, you were recognised, if you excelled in academics, you were recognised on the assembly ground.”

“But on the same stage, you would be seriously whipped for bad behaviour. So, reward and punishment were on the same stage.”
