Title: Who is an educated Person?
Post by: Youngkhngdiddy on January 01, 2024, 07:16:19 PM
 Well according to the advanced learners dictionary, it describes an educated person as someone who has a very high standard of learning, while the Oxford dictionary states  that an educated person is someone that have been to a school, be it primary, secondary or tertiary, we all know that education plays an important role in the forum, cause one ought to know how to read and write properly to be able to participate in the activities going on here.

 However in my understanding asides from knowing how to read and write, which describes someone educated, i think an educated person can also be described as someone that can set defenses around themselves against the world, most of us here come from or lives in areas that's insecured. Therefore based on their intelligence they should be able to strategize how to protect themselves and keep themselves from getting into danger, an illiterate might be physically strong  but might lack the basic understanding of how to survive, but it takes someone educated to study their surroundings and figure out how to safeguard themselves from being harmed. The insecurity in our country is getting out of hand, and in this new year we all need to be very strategic on how to survive. Everyone needs to be on guard, cause that's part of what makes us educated.

Being educated is the measure of the information available to you at any given time, the more information you've, the more educated you're. Education is not limited to schooling alone, there are educated illiterates. According to Henry Ford, when he filed a lawsuit against the newspaper that called him an ignorant pacifist, An educated man is a man who has access to information whenever he choose to, either from your deposition, mastermind group, or from available resources. Being educated is about the quality and quantity of information you can lay your  hands on when the need arises without much limitation. The beauty of literacy is that You must not know everything to be described as educated, having access to qualitative information validates your literacy at all times.
Even in the case of insecurity, if you're well informed,  you can avoid certain behaviors that can put you in the ways of harm, avoid certain routes that are dead zones and play safe to be able to mark yourself safe from uncertainties befalling our dear country.

School is not only the criteria that someone has to fulfil to be termed educated. The correct identity of an educated person is someone who knows how to read, write and then seek out information for yourself. Not everyone who has been in school is educated, some just passed through school and are still not educated. Education brings a civilised mindset, and the behaviour of an educated person and an uneducated person is very different from each other.

I have heard the term "educated Illiterate" before used in the description of some people, it is because these people went to school but are not behaving educated.

Op I agree with you because education is not all about going to school, is about wetin you learn?  That's what all about, you go school but you don't know wetin carry you go or can't even defend yourself by saying this is what I learn that a very huge mistake of you going to school.
 By the way reading and writing are the most important things which has to be taken care of, for example can you imagine a university student asking his colleague for answer, he was given the answer but he asked that same person to help he/she to spell what a disgrace.
 Once again education is not about holding your qualification but knowing how to defend your result, if you can defend your result that's means you really work for it, not forging.
 I agree with the dictionary which says is only about going to school neither primary nor secondary it all useful for the journey as it continues.
   Education plays a very important role to our life's.

An educated person is someone that acquired knowledge, attitudes, skills, and values, that enable him or her to thrive personally, socially, and professionally.

Its very clear to identify who is an educated person from one who is not. Its not written on the face of anyone, you can see a tattered man on the streets but well knowledgeable and smart enough than someone who holds a degree.

We can see an educated person from two aspects, getting a degree acquired from the university, Mentally educated gotten from mere conversations and inquisitiveness to learn from friends, families and colleagues or maybe the internet. its all in a different grade but being mentally educated is the best in this country.

Most degree educated persons do not stand a chance against some people who never even finished secondary school, compared from the listening skills, reading skills, writing skills, speaking skills and understanding skills. it will be best if combining both to be outstanding rather than just being educated with holding a degree alone.

So an educated person is someone with the capability to interact without any speech interruption from the pronunciation of words or misuse of words when speaking or writing, how to mange a conversation to yielding a good result, ability to write and answers questions in ones field or even outside the box.

I like your definition of an educated person and I want to also add that an educated person is someone that can be able to proffer solution to the society in times of complex situation that no one else could give solutions to a problem facing the people and also have the ability to relate with people in a more understandable manner and also have the ability to give out information that can help individuals in the environment. Educated person isn't really only people with degrees but people that have the intellectual ability and capacity to manage ideas and opinions of others and bring forth more comprehensive ideas.

However in my understanding asides from knowing how to read and write, which describes someone educated, i think an educated person can also be described as someone that can set defenses around themselves against the world, most of us here come from or lives in areas that's insecured. Therefore based on their intelligence they should be able to strategize how to protect themselves and keep themselves from getting into danger, an illiterate might be physically strong  but might lack the basic understanding of how to survive, but it takes someone educated to study their surroundings and figure out how to safeguard themselves from being harmed. The insecurity in our country is getting out of hand, and in this new year we all need to be very strategic on how to survive. Everyone needs to be on guard, cause that's part of what makes us educated.

Op education has nothing to do with security. Even animals knows when they are in danger and run for safety. Nigerian insecurity is affecting everyone and I don't see how the educated is being exempted from the effect of the security challenges. Both the educated and uneducated know that insecurity is a challenge to everyone. Without money both the educated and uneducated can't do anything. Are you telling me that the educated are not affected by Nigeria security challenges?
The uneducated and educated knows that when there is I security in a particular region, the best thing to do is to vacate such an area to a more safer environment till normalcy and calm returns to the place. I don't know what an educated man can so when it comes to insecurity that the uneducated man can't do.

Op don forget say before the high level of educational qualifications and their acquisitions our fathers in the past sabi exactly how to protect themselves and protect their families against intruders, same is still obtainable today. Someone wey no dey educated no mean say him go just open him eyes say make you put knife for him kneck, at least him go still do wetin him fit do to escape his dangers but unfortunately no be our level of education go protect our lives. The government has failed the people on that and made the economy worse . So nothing concern the level of education to security. And there is difference between education and wisdom.

I believe real education only exposes you to the fences of the world outside you. Meaning you can see the world through another person's eyes. Learning how to read, write and be reasonable for yourself then gives you an edge of grabbing opportunity. Education is important, evident in adult schooling.

That's where you go wrong, education have a major role to play when it comes to security in our society, an educated person, has access to information and make good use of the information they get to protect themselves from danger, education gives one an opportunity to prepare against future threats, you can't compare our level of understanding to that of animals, cause even the birds they killed for Christmas and thanksgiving were not aware they would be used for the festive period hence they would've prepared and safeguard themselves from it.

 Yes both the literate and illiterate knows ours country isn't very secured, but the literate has more chances of survival than the illiterate, now let me ask you a question people that can read and write and people that can't who have more chances of survival in the forum? So that's to tell you that majority of educated people have more chances of making earns need than the uneducated. I didn't say that an educated person is not affected they have more chances of survival just like you and I.

 You also asked about navigation to safer regions during insecurity, now between both who do you think would navigate better, an educated man can easily browse on his phone and find areas that he could easily Navigate to but then how would an uneducated do that when they can't read and write nor even know how to operate modern facilities properly? This comes to my conclusion on who have more chances of survival between both parties.

An educated person is someone who has gained knowledge and skills through formal or informal learning. This can include someone who has graduated from school or university, but it also includes anyone who has taken the time to learn and understand new things. An educated person is curious, open-minded, and always looking to expand their knowledge and understanding of the world around them. An educated person is also someone who is able to think critically, communicate effectively, and solve problems. They are able to take what they have learned and apply it in a meaningful way. Ultimately, an educated person is a lifelong learner.


Education is not just about gaining information; it's also about developing a deeper understanding of the world. An educated person is able to connect the dots between different areas of knowledge and see the bigger picture. They can think critically about the information they have learned and evaluate its validity. They can also consider the ethical implications of their decisions and actions. All of these qualities are important for success in life, no matter what your chosen field or profession may be. So, an educated person is not just someone who has completed a certain level of schooling; it's someone who has the desire and ability to continue learning and growing throughout their life....

There is a thin line between education and learning, education has to do with the ability or the process of learning, thereby going to school to learn the basic academic necessities, and there are two types of education, education can be formal and it can also be informal, formal education has to do with the process of going to a school from the primary stage to the tertiary institution and informal education has to do with the process of learning a skill that can at the end of the day provide you with their ability to deliver on a job.
However formal education helps to build your cognitive reasoning and also helps you to build your mental capacity to decipher on solutions and thoughtfulness.

Educational dey in two ways, we get education wey get to do with school and we get education wey get to do with street. The education of school go make you fit dey employable by your worker but the one of street  get wetin go make you go far for life. Smartness dey come from street as na dat one dey make you learn how to survive for life and come out triumphant.

Having just one side or the education wey be school own no dey make sense again as even your lecturer go tell you for university make you find hard work do as the labour market no dey enough time accommodate all the graduate wey university deh produced yearly. An educated person for me na person wey dun receive both school education and life (street) education.

However in my understanding asides from knowing how to read and write, which describes someone educated, i think an educated person can also be described as someone that can set defenses around themselves against the world, most of us here come from or lives in areas that's unsecured.

An educated person no dey for only book but you can be educated and still not been able to protect yourself in your environment. Been security conscious no be been educated. We get plenty people for community wey dey security conscious but dem no dey educated. Education dey more about make you know how to read and write and fit communicate effectively to the other person to understand then we go come get other forms of education but the main thing na the one I talk so.

An educated person is a person that possess the characteristics of readability, wisdom in application and also versatile to learning new things and adapt to any new environment without the mindset of formal educational qualifications.

Sometimes people feel that when they call you an dedicated person, that they are talking about your certificate. But education is more than certificate. So many people have certificate but don't have wisdom and knowledge or understanding to handle crucial issue in a matured way, rather speaking grammar over an issue that just need a wisdom applied. Our people say to know book and to get wisdom na two different thing. But an educated person must have the two to be complete otherwise you are just like an empty vessel.

Sometimes on the high way you'll see two rich men, they will cause hold up all because of small minor misconception of who to first move for the other to pass. Just a simple mathematics to solve and the road will clear they will keep on speaking grammar. Like do you know who I am? do you know my educational qualifications? Do you also know that I did myaster at UK? and so on. There is no wisdom speaking in such a person rather stupidity. So its good we know when we are mixing pride with education. Because your pride might make you look like an illiterate in the public.

You dey make sense @CryptopreneurBrainboss, but the point i dey try make na be say how person go cliam say em dey educated but yet no sabi how to protect emself from danger, being educated mean say atleast you get sense to think, to strategize on how to handle situations wey fit lead to danger or save yourself in times of danger, person no always need physical strength to protect themselves, yes physical strength na plus, but common sense fit save person from danger, with common sense you fit even turn your enemy into your friend and turn the situation into your favour.

 For instance if you done watch walking dead, eh get one character them they call Eugene, the man na the least strong for the movie, eh no even get one power, but some of the people wey feel say them strong or sabi use weapons die finish, ask me wetin save Eugene, baba na em common sense and smartness na em make am survive for a very long time, eh dey quick think fast and find solutions to safe emself in times of trouble.

 And na so eh suppose be, as person wey get formal or informal education you get more advantage on how to secure yourself in times of trouble, you get the ability to think fast and use every possible means be it spiritual, psychological, or even physical way to protect yourself from harm , if most of our forefathers wey no too get better education fit protect themselves, then why person wey done get proper education no go fit do same? Being educated alone mean say you get more information and na wetin make the person unique.

This your movie I fit don watch am sha e just be like a movie I watched wey person see say all the people wey come war don dey die finish, naso e carry blood of dead people rub for him body make them think say e don die. But that one na just comon sence and no be educationally related something. education is more than comon sence. educated person sopos get comon sence come Sabi read book join am. Sothat you go fit defend yourself academically.

you get the ability to think fast and use every possible means be it spiritual, psychological, or even physical way to protect yourself from harm , if most of our forefathers wey no too get better education fit protect themselves, then why person wey done get proper education no go fit do same? Being educated alone mean say you get more information and na wetin make the person unique.
Spiritual ability wey you dey talk na matter of choice. And no be all educated person get spiritual knowledge. But yet them still dey smart. But being spiritually smart is an advantage to you.

Then the physical way to protect yourself, we get two types of physical protection 1. Na physical strength with natural energy 2. Physical strength with wisdom to manover something to your favour. And na this number 2 Naim be the one wey dey more important. But the number 1. I think no be every educated person wey get that physical strength.

No be for classroom or until someone enter classroom come out with certificate na em them dey educated o.
Even online education dey, street education dey, money and investment education dey, marriage education dey and many forms of education.

I've believed for a while now that education is crucial for learning how to read and write as well as for having in-depth knowledge in any field one may choose. However, times have changed; although you should be able to find employment after completing your education and earning a certification, it is now extremely difficult to do so in our nation. As we all know, unemployment is a problem, and it's ironic that those who lack education are the ones who end up employing themselves. And the ironic thing is that those without formal education used to be the ones hiring those with formal education for life's ironing. the best advice is to properly utilize their self it is harder to feed and that is one of the things that are making crime increase because they feel there is no other way than to commit crime and make money since the government is failing in that aspect. and the number of graduates out there is much and I don't think there will be space for everybody that is the annoying thing.

Before I will give the concept nof an educated person let me first of all distinguish between two concepts of education which everyone acquired one of them to survive in their life. And they are formal and informal education. So if you want to know who is an educated you have to know the person from any of the above. In this days the formal educational system is very bad that they take or learn skills from none formal educational scholars or personels. Mostly from the science  perspective. Therefore if you ask me that question I would say that an educated person is the one who has known what he is saying and doing and it is not specifically the person that has finished school.

In Nigeria those who have acquired informal education are more effective than formal. There is no job for the university Graduates.

Op this your topic wide o but if we start to go deeper e go hard us because education as you talk don pass to go school if i go remember correctly e get people wey no step their legs for school for any day but they can read and write correctly without any mistake, wetin i go classify this security of a thing be say e get some people wey no go school but get wisdom to handle things and any other mata wey come their side.

Also e get some people wey go school but dem no get wisdom to handle mata wey surround them all together, wetin i mean be say security no dey for school or school as man of wisdom you supposed sabi wetin go kill you and wetin wey no go kill you easily, and if you sometin wey go kill person and dem avoid am no mean say they person na graduate or e get all forms of degree.

Even some company's dey teach their workers about safety for their work place and even as those people dey work there no be every body wey go school, e get some drivers wey no go school but dem dey involved themselves with security and safety class for them work place there. Even person wey no dey talk knows about safety who teach ?

Because him sabi say life no get two and if pesin kpai today u no go see am again, wetin just dia be say we dey lose guard too much and if you no lose guard notin fit do you just as we dey drive for road. pesin no fit talk wen accident go happen why becus you no go fit predict when man go die or go enter danger, so the koko be say make we just dey extremely careful as we dey enjoy our new year or even as we dey travel go our various home for new year celebration.

Firstly, there is a misconception about education. People seem to take education to mean having a total number of degrees or certificates from a school or institution, whereas education is not the western way of learning. People seem to have accorded education to be the western way of learning; sitting in a room called class for several years and having attended some questions in tests and exams means you're educated.

Education, in its original meaning, is to bring out or rear up. Education is divided into classifications, levels, etc. In the classification of education, we have formal, informal, and non-formal education, which means what is regarded as education is just a part of education. Those from the streets are educated people too, but just an informed education because they were not taught in a formal building called school, but they have a special education from experience gathered every day.


An educated person is someone who has been brought out of ignorance or has been reared up to knowledge on one thing or another. The more information you're exposed to, the higher your education, so an educated person isn't ignorant of one thing.

Very correct, it is not everyone that went to school are educated,  some people just pass through school and you cant see any content of education through them. Some people they became educated through self education,  by learning by themselves or getting a private teacher who lecture them on how to read and write. It doesn't mean being educated one must pass through school,  being educated means exposure and to be able to express one's self in speaking and reading.

For me, educations comes in different form. The primary and most necessary one is that one is able to read and write after which the most important comes in and that is the ability to think and proper solution to problems.

An educated person is basically that individual that is able to able to make use of his thinking faculty to solve problem. Going to school doesn't necessarily makes one educated, you could be a certified engineer, medical personnel or what have you hand people can see you doing something and make statement like, "you sure this one go school at all?. Education increase your thought process and makes you see things in a vast and better perspective than an average graduate.

The definition of an educated person can vary depending on who you ask, but generally, an educated person is someone who has gained knowledge and skills through schooling, training, or self-study. They may have a high level of formal education, such as a college degree, but they may also have extensive experience and expertise in a particular field. They should be able to think critically, solve problems, and communicate effectively. An educated person should also be open-minded and curious, always seeking to expand their knowledge and understanding of the world around them. Ultimately, education is about more than just grades or test scores - it's about developing the skills...

and knowledge needed to lead a successful and fulfilling life. There are also different types of education, such as traditional classroom-based learning, vocational training, and informal learning through experiences and interactions with others. An educated person may have had a combination of these types of education, and may continue to learn throughout their life. Additionally, education doesn't just happen in schools or universities - it can also take place in the workplace, in the home, and in the community. In other words, an educated person may have learned a lot of things from different sources and in different environments. The most important thing is that they have taken the time to gain their knowledge...

To me an educated person is someone who can read and write.Cause it is believed in Naija that for the fact that a person didn't attend the higher institution makes the person uneducated.Yeah it's correct,but there are reasons why the person didn't further his/her education it could be financial instability.Some people finished their education in secondary school(SSCE).For the fact that they can read and write means they are educated but didn't attain the higher institution certificate.Cause an uneducated person is called an illiterate and he/she can't defend their selves in public.For example an uneducated person is asked to fill a form of which he/she can't cause they can't read and write.Concerning the insecurity you said it's really affecting the uneducated people, there was a story I heard.A young man that could not read and write was walking by and saw a sign board that was written on it 'BEWARE OF DOGS', cause he was unable to read what was written on the sign board,he got to his destination when he got there he saw the dogs and was beaten by the dogs.So globally we are in the world that informations are passed on the internet and it takes a person who can read or write to understand informations on the internet.

With all due respect at OP, security is paramount which is everyone's responsibilities. Keeping safe has nothing to do with with education rather education in security terms is essential at most when tackling an insecurity. I don't even find this as being educated but having the strategical logical security structures to either prevent or fights against the insecurities.
There are still intelligent illiterates whom are more security conciously intellectual depending on individuals.
Reading and writing is not an utmost measure of securities but the individual endivoirs of awareness to perceive dangers, insight dangers and senses dangers in cordially to intellectually do away with the disasterous situations.

Well according to the advanced learners dictionary, it describes an educated person as someone who has a very high standard of learning, while the Oxford dictionary states  that an educated person is someone that have been to a school, be it primary, secondary or tertiary, we all know that education plays an important role in the forum, cause one ought to know how to read and write properly to be able to participate in the activities going on here.

 However in my understanding asides from knowing how to read and write, which describes someone educated, i think an educated person can also be described as someone that can set defenses around themselves against the world, most of us here come from or lives in areas that's insecured. Therefore based on their intelligence they should be able to strategize how to protect themselves and keep themselves from getting into danger, an illiterate might be physically strong  but might lack the basic understanding of how to survive, but it takes someone educated to study their surroundings and figure out how to safeguard themselves from being harmed. The insecurity in our country is getting out of hand, and in this new year we all need to be very strategic on how to survive. Everyone needs to be on guard, cause that's part of what makes us educated.



Educated person Na person wey done get knowledge, skills through formal education wey we dey go school for, some persons dey acquire education through Self study and life experiences, no be only person wey go school be educated person, you fit go school and you no get education, most life experiences and self study fit give h education, I know people wey done stay house read come enroll for WAEC write am pass,so education goes beyond school, it's actually improving urself anyhow you fit do am, as we dey for this forum wey dey learn,most things wey know here today dem no teach us for school, that's education broh.

I believe the word you should be using is actually wisdom, because, no offense but, there is barely any relationship between education and safety from insecurities. Yes, I understand that an educated person can decide that he'd go here and he won't go there, cause of the pros and cons of those environment but that isn't education, that's wisdom. You see, one is theory and the other is method, application practice. It's just like how Education is knowing that tomatoes are fruits but wisdom entails not adding tomatoes to a fruit salad or a fruit juice. Education is usually associated with gaining knowledge for professional reasons. Yes, education increases the likeliness for a person to make the right decision and for people to diversity their knowledge, however, it isn't enough. Wisdom is what protects a man, cause it comes with good insight, critical thinking, moral reasoning, basically common sense. A lot of wise people aren't even educated.

Another thing you should consider is income. Even proverbs would tell you that a wise man who used his wisdom to save the nation would be forgotten if he didn't have wealth. Really without money, both the educated and non-educated would find it difficult to run from insecurities.
So, in conclusion, I'm not trying to say that you are wrong or anything, but it requires much more than education to be saved from insecurities.

For me, educations comes in different form. The primary and most necessary one is that one is able to read and write after which the most important comes in and that is the ability to think and proper solution to problems.

An educated person is basically that individual that is able to able to make use of his thinking faculty to solve problem. Going to school doesn't necessarily makes one educated, you could be a certified engineer, medical personnel or what have you hand people can see you doing something and make statement like, "you sure this one go school at all?. Education increase your thought process and makes you see things in a vast and better perspective than an average graduate.

This depends on the personal definition of individual about education. Education may be about learning one or two things and it may be about morals or being initiative.
You may not go to school and still be educated. Going to school is just one way in which one can be educated. There are other means in which one can be educated, these include:
👉Apprenticeship
👉Self directed learning
👉Online courses
👉Mentorship
Not everyone that go to school is educated and not going to school doesn't make you a non- educated fellow.

Being educated is the measure of the information available to you at any given time, the more information you've, the more educated you're. Education is not limited to schooling alone, there are educated illiterates. According to Henry Ford, when he filed a lawsuit against the newspaper that called him an ignorant pacifist, An educated man is a man who has access to information whenever he choose to, either from your deposition, mastermind group, or from available resources. Being educated is about the quality and quantity of information you can lay your  hands on when the need arises without much limitation. The beauty of literacy is that You must not know everything to be described as educated, having access to qualitative information validates your literacy at all times.
Even in the case of insecurity, if you're well informed,  you can avoid certain behaviors that can put you in the ways of harm, avoid certain routes that are dead zones and play safe to be able to mark yourself safe from uncertainties befalling our dear country.
Exactly! Education is not just limited to academics. You know, we Nigerians make education all about academics and degrees. Sometimes, what makes me livid is the fact that a person that claims to have gone to school and acquired a degree displays poor attitude and talks to people anyhow, or even lacks common sense.

Education has to do with exposure, you level of exposure is part of education, people define an educated person as some one who went to school but it is a no no definition for me, a knowledge acquired is what I call education, this is process by which individual learn and assimilate an idea that they do not possess earlier, school is one of the process of education but we shouldn't generals it to be the only description of an educated person, education is beyond the school itself, if you don't what I know that makes uneducated in that aspect until you are been taught in that regard.

Yes, I will also contribute this because you are right on your topic consigning the security in our country. What we need to seek for divine direction, and understanding to be able to overcome in security, because sometimes when we think that is by our knowledge, or being educated it may not the right thing, natural wisdom gives you the knowledge to protect yourself from danger. You may not learn this from school, but having a knowledge from your natural life will help you rotate yourself from danger and learn lot school can only teach you theories and other aspect of education, but a natural wisdom will help you to be smarter than problem coming to you.

You were  correct to an extent but you started deviating when you said Oxford dictionary state that an educated person is someone that have been to school which is not 70% correct or true because not everyone that went to school is educated, most people went to school for fun, to catch Cruz, some went to school to study only their book while some went to study both their book, character and many more. So going to school or being educated is relative. I want you to also know that being educated is different from having wisdom because and understanding, you can be educated and yet don't have wisdom. Education only, can not help you defend yourself or prevent you from getting into danger but application of wisdom and understanding will help you more because wisdom and understanding are the principal thing needed in life to do anything. I have seen a situation where someone that called himself and educated person can not approach human and issues that an average person can. In summary being educated is not enough to safeguard, prevent or defend oneself from danger and to survive in this country you need wisdom and understanding.
