Ali Baba Speaks On The Importance Of Education In Living Well
Ali Baba has stressed that education is important in addressing and analyzing burning issues.
He said that he believes education is very important for children of 10 years and below, because education has the potency of creating good foundation during the formative age of children.
Speaking on the Classic FM segment Show ‘The Discourse With Ken’, Ali Baba highlighted the importance of education for children, particularly those under 10 years old.
In his words: “Someone asked me two days ago – ‘If you could change one thing across the world, what would it be?’ I would give formal education to people between the ages of birth and 10.”
The comic personality emphasized that education within the formative years of children leads to a better understanding of boundaries and other burning issues as they grow.
He said further: “It is so critical and it is the failure to do that makes people not know the value of life, or the essence of humanity and not know that you have to respect each other’s space, values and boundaries. All that can be achieved through education.”
He also talked about an incident that occurred sometime ago that he witnessed, where a man sexually harassed a woman.
He narrated: “There was a time I asked a man ‘Why are you touching the lady? She is not responding to you and you’re dragging her and then he said ‘That’s how women behave.’ Shey you see. If you’re educated enough, you’d know that that is sexual harassment, you would know that such an act can escort you into some jail time.”
“The other thing is when you say certain things like ‘no is no’ to certain people, because they aren’t educated, they would argue with you. Some would say ‘Some women ‘ehn’ when they say no, they mean yes’. So when you get jail term now, you’d know.”
He also emphasized the need for education in preventing senseless murders, asserting that a person who is educated on the value of human life would know better.
“I said we were going to talk about burning issues in the national space. For example, a group of men would not go and kill military men when they know that you shouldn’t even kill any human being in the first place. If you are educated enough you would know that dialogue and justice are the best way to get anything you want,” he concluded.

Actress Patience Ozukor: I Rejected The Name-Tag ‘Liz Benson of Enugu’ On Me, To Have My Own Name-Tag ‘Patience Ozukor’
Nollywood veteran actress, Patience Ozokwor, has disclosed and talked about how people tried to impose titles and name-tags on her at the beginning of her career and how she handled it.
The veteran actress said when she began her acting career, people tried to compare her with legendary actress, Liz Benson, by tagging her as ‘Liz Benson of Enugu’ but she rejected the tag because she believes they are both unique.
She disclosed that she also rejected suggestions to answer her husband’s first name as her surname and instead chose to bear his family name.
She actually disclosed this in an interview session via a media platform.
Her words: “I don’t know how it started, all I know was that when I started my acting career and people started recognizing this woman from Enugu.”
“So, there was a time I came to Lagos for a shoot and people started saying, ‘That’s her, this woman from Enugu.’ They said, “You’re the ‘Liz Benson of Enugu.”
“I said, ‘No, with all due respect, I don’t want to be like Liz Benson, I want to be myself. I am ‘Patience Ozokwor of Enugu’.”
“And some people came and said, ‘You don’t even need to answer Patience Ozokwor again. Answer your husband’s first name Edmund; Patience Edmund.’
“I said, ‘No, because in Igbo land, you’re not just married by one man, you’re married by a family. I don’t know about other tribes.”
“So, my husband’s people, their name is Ozokwor. When you mention Ozokwor in any part of this world, people who know the Ozokwors would say ‘I know where she comes from’,” she concluded.
