Pastor Odikanwa responding to the “why all these academic degrees/ Why educational psychology?” question said: “Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.”
He follows the late former South Africa president’s quote with another popular one attributed to Benjamin Franklin:
“An investment in knowledge pays the best interest. I choose to have another degree in educational psychology because I love psychology and its interest in education.
“I have that passion for education because I believe that it teaches one to think intensively and to think critically.
“Intelligence plus character – that is the goal of true education. Education changes a person’s life and world.”
He adds that part of his reason for taking another degree specifically in educational psychology is to help the growth of education in Nigeria and other nations.
He also speaks on his love for educational psychology as a course.
“I specifically love educational psychology because it’s of two combinations; educational psychology being the mother of all psychology. It is my interest to go higher in problem-solving from different fonts. I love Education and I believe it’s the key to broad knowledge,” the cleric said.
