Prof. Oyedunni Sola Arulogun of the Department of Health Promotion and Education, University of Ibadan (UI), weekend, declared that Nigeria was boiling as virtually all citizens live in extreme poverty.

Arulogun made the declaration at the 4th matriculation ceremony of 156 students of Admiralty University of Nigeria , Ibusa, near Asaba, Delta State.

She described the trend as a bad omen for a country like Nigeria and stressed that “by our economic planning, the target escape rate is 0.3 per minute but the reality is -3, hence the poverty rate is increasing in Nigeria on daily basis”. “And what this portends is that in Nigeria we are experiencing the Boiling Frog Water Syndrome, irrespective of various interventions by governmental agencies, and our attitude within the boiling water syndrome is not encouraging,” she said.

Arulogun said entrepreneurial education was “conceived as an educational system that seeks to foster self esteem and confidence by drawing on individual’s talents and creativity while building relevant skills and values that will assist students on expanding their perspective on schooling and opportunities beyond”. She advised matriculating students to face fears, set goals and seek for mentors, who would help them excel as students.
