One day, God was practicing His culinary skills in His kitchen. He decided to cook His people and give them names. First he wrote those names on a sheet of paper. With his handy kitchen utensils and fresh ingredients, he began to shape and mold the dough he had created into humans. He lined, brushed with a little butter and dusted the pan with flour. He transferred and lined up the raw humans on the baking sheet. He stuck them in the preheated LG oven set to 150° Fahrenheit. He waited patiently as he listened to his newly purchased iPod Touch. Three minutes had passed and the oven dinged. It was the signal that raw humans were now cooked. Seeing the humans, he noticed that they were raw. However, he thought it would be a waste if he threw them away. Instead, he instilled life in them. Then came the white men and women. Since God had many materials and ingredients, he decided to bake again. He set the time a little longer, eight minutes, and the temperature a little higher, 350° Fahrenheit. This time it was cooked perfectly. He breathed into them the life that brought out dark-skinned men and women. Feeling confident that he could cook as perfectly as the second one, God cooked again. He put those raw humans in the oven at the same temperature and time. While he waited patiently, he listened to his iPod Touch again. Unfortunately he fell asleep. After 30 minutes, God woke up. He was surprised to see the oven turned on. He quickly removed the cooking humans and turned off the oven. It was overcooked. However, He breathed life into them and the black men and women came out. To his dismay, he called St. Matthew. God wanted to go out and release the “stress” he had. Did you want Santo......middle of paper......n in a “black” country with three major linguistic groups identified? Well, the answer to everything will be once we understand how Nigerians were colonized? Imagine a blackboard (colored green), white chalk and an eraser. There are chalk writings on the blackboard. Suddenly someone took the eraser and erased all the writing. This was how the English colonized the country, Nigeria. They have erased the identity and culture (written in chalk) of Nigerians (blackboard) through the use of what blackboard, chalk and eraser represent in simple terms, education.
