Everyone knows that I love FUTO. When you arrive in a university from a village, and leave prepared for the world, you will NEVER forget the experience. The Philosophy course I took in FUTO remains one of the best courses ever in my education. It was more transformational than calculus, thermodynamics, circuits and systems. Right there, Prof Rev Ashiegbu explained why I was no more a secondary school student, but a university undergraduate, and why my reasoning, and other components of my education, must evolve.
He extended the introduction my Physics teacher in Secondary Technical School Ovim, Mr. Aham, did not conclude. Mr Aham had introduced Physics in SSI (first year in senior secondary), spending a whole week discussing natural philosophy and how before the end of the 18th century everything was studied as one thing, before they broke things into biological and physical sciences. The Chemistry teacher, Mr Udeagu Jr, reconnected to the same philosophy, and Mr Bobo, the Biology teacher, posited from his angle.
In the second week, the Math teacher, Mr Onyezewe, came and explained Mathematics as the “science of numbers which powers the natural philosophy you will learn in the science subjects”. At FUTO, I understood that natural philosophy better, and it turns out that knowledge is nothing but philosophy. Simply, Everything in life is philosophy, and we’re only specializing in different branches of philosophy. Real amazing stuff in that GST course!
