"..the lecturers had been foolishly recycling the same questions with minor modification."
The above line, painfully, captured my mind while taking an eagle eyes in Jalli's text, Life Changer. Khadija is such an awesome woman to whom thousand of the same genders need to be copied from. The text is not only centers on the transitional achievement of so-called universities spring-minders, but also the woeful cankerworms of some problematical lecturers whose are in the stage of total stupor when comes to the seduced creations, matriarchal society-- and towards monotonous recycling of Examination Questions. Although, Jalli creates an atom of stereotype in ExamQuestions recyclability by the lecturers. To my quasi mindset, not all lecturers murder education but minors out of majors. And if this having to be truth, Jalli sounds it lucid to the literary world that there is rocket foibles in the National verge of Education. And it is clear that "cramming" is worthy point in studentsminds to embark for the sake of passing the semesters' examinations. And I will believe with my FaceBook friend, Sulaiman Ayub, a Nigerian reads at one of the Indian universities. He claimed that Cramming is the focal point in Nigeria's universities for the students to bag more marks in the particular examination than the utilisation of students' personal experiences about taught courses. Khadija's agitation of recycling exams questions gave a torrential insights during assignment writing and more. Due to the little or no exposure in terms of educational researches they(students) will end of copying and pasting. That is why, most of the academic researches are subjectives not objectives--and not problem(s) solving-based. Because of this recurrences of problems, I salute to the scientist (in the field of technology), Linguist and Artist( literature based) tutorsfor trying to shun away from this shit. And the optimistic work of scattering their students to travel into the plethora of Literary Theories to judge the work based on theory's tenets; which require human idiosyncrasies. In fact, the neediness of educational renovation is highly beckoned--if that is the case.
Khadija summons all JAMBed students through her son , ,Omar 250's scorer
The Life Changer is not only considers on the issues of youthful journey for the sake of self-understanding, but also the family affairs. Khadija, as a narrator of the text, travels with her children psychologically to the comprehensive station of University(ies) life (lives) when her son, Omar, SCORED 250 in his JAMB Exam. By her readiness in her son's predilection of becoming university gentleman - and his zeals strongly to read LAW ; makes him to brag at his sister's(Teemah's) sense of teasing. Then she(the Khadija)drags them(her children) thoroughly into the long storytelling : that serves as the tool to maintain the cheerful atmosphere of the environment till the arrival time of their father. All of her story verbose focus on these interrogative mood : how to be so cautious with course mates , roommate and acquiescence persons of here and there-- and to be mouthcared and readable of social attitude before befriending any one. She poetically instills the sense of judgement into her childrens'(/readers) minds. As she reinforces "..do not judge book by its cover.." She recommends that socialisation is a good, reprimand is the rule, cunningness is the great element towards successful life.
What Khadija's apperception on these initial and the end sentences of Text,The Life Changer?
Chapter One
"They were waiting for dad
We were ..."
Chapter Eleven
" They will wait for Dad"
Who is initially waiting for Dad?what he(Omar) will tell him? This is all about his Jamb score, and his willingness to purchase him a smartphone. Since his life begins changing because of having foot to step in to the University, so let his Dad acknowledge that and purchase him a thing that help him as a symbol life Changer. Though, the narrator do not tell the readers how her son scored such opulence marks in JAMB but the procedures are very known to all.
The author, transitionally, palpably shows the family hierarchy where she astutely designs Father as a panel of judge in the house. While the Mother is an attorney which forwards the registered sues and proposals that need to be digested and endorsed.
Eventually, Ironically, she reflects a woman voice of pain for the prolongation of today's husbands outside of their houses.
Phenomenology Criticism{ a theory of common sense) in Jalli's work,The Life Changer.
•Working hard to achieved a target point(s) is one's Life Changer(Omar's JAMB SCORE)
•Parents(especially mother)are the first tutors of their children.And Having mutual conversation with them ,the innate thoughts of them will be understood conversationally
• Writer herself, through her narration and saga of her educational career flashes that woman need to know herself in and out so as to escape from the men plights.
• Every bit of time, the life changes and so the system.
