Still crying again? After coming out of his final exams and submitting to the supervisor, he later realised the questions were so cheap and few for his level. Little did he know that he had four more questions to go. It was too late for he had bragged and spoken cheaply of the faculty before he left. He first took that pill. He paid with an extra year. Was he puffed up by ignorance or was he proud alone?

Is it the condition of being uninformed or uneducated or the lack of knowledge or information as regards what to do or how to do it? Considering the limitless numbers of opportunities around us that we have missed as a result of our ignorance as regards the simple and complex information we should just have handled. Name it, is it that scholarship info you heard about but you ignored. Could it be that conversation you could have had with your roomies that night before your exams or the textbook you later discovered your lectural uses to set questions?

It’s everywhere and if you are actually sincere about it you really have taken a number of pills which has gone a long way to affect you. It’s true that there are some information that we actually can’t handle nevertheless what about those ones we consciously decided to refuse, consider or accept?

Considering the risk of being uninformed or being knowledgeable what stand will you actually take? You really need not to be told about the consequences of ignorance as many ” had I know ” statements have been made or conceived in your heart.

• Proverbs 19:2 Desire without knowledge is not good, and to be overhasty is to sin and miss the mark.
