It's sad someone actually paid money to send the OP to school.

OP no let me vex for you oo

soe:
The Op has a point and I get what he is driving at....

But bringing this to reality...you need to understand that the courses u listed as useless and should be scrapped are actually what universities re there for in the first place.

The second list of courses u put there are very vital also, but they re actually what COLLEGES are established for. Any by colleges, I don't mean secondary schools....

Now, what colleges do is that they train you on how best to do things and when, universities teach you the theory behind why things re done that way and how to improve it.

What we should push for is a system where everyone is made to do some years in colleges before moving to the uni if still interested.


Truth be told...colleges make you an entrepreneur, universities make u a consultant....so in Nigeria today...we have 99% consultants and 1% performers....so who will employ who? Food for thought.

Brilliant contribution

@ fynestboi U need help pronto!!!

Fynestboi:
Say wetin. This Op needs help asap....

fsalabi15:
@ fynestboi U need help pronto!!!

Fynestboi:



Say what?

He said and I quote....


"@ fynestboi U need help pronto!!!"

Banking&finance bawo?op nor lemme swear for u oo

Dude! You will be right only if you can succeed to remove all you mentioned from Oxford dictionary.

Nothing wrong with our education sector our problem is management.

Otu, like say na only nigeria de offer the courses

Computer science. Nonsense

Pls let understand what this guy is trying to say look into our society today you will see that those couses in our university on prepare you to work for other people for you to collect a slave money where as those so call vacational couses add a lot to you life it is something which you learn and know something that offer you freedom were you can work when you like you can make more money for more service you give to people it open your way and make you expand you horizon of life and it all depend on how you understand it

Op don't lemme slap you ooooo. Intl relations should be scrapped?? Moreover, all the courses in the second list are done in the technical schools!!!! SMH for you. Looks like u are outdated sef.

Pineapp:

MEANINGLESS assertion .

Rather we need people to embrace and explore those courses to hasten development in this country..

Enough of the law,engineering,doctor madness...

Are yu serious calling law, engineering and medicine madness?

Yu need medications dude.

Seriously,you are not serious. These courses are wonderful. The fact folks do not dig it in this part of the world does not imply it's not cherish in another part of the globe.

every1 defending his course, am here to read comments

If the federal government are not doing anything by now to scrap this courses from our universities, then it means our economic liberation as a nation is still far-fetched. This courses should be replaced with the courses below. Not as a vocational program now, but as a degree program. Nigerians don’t like to identify with anything vocational, they love to go for ‘NYSC’.

God will bless you for this post. Exactly what I have been trying to relate with some folks. Applying this method in our institutions will make many graduates more useful and productive to themselves and society. And not the unemployable graduates we have everywhere at the moment.

God have mercy on Nigerians.

@op,i disagree with you:linguistics is highly needed,so as international relation,every course you listed is needed by Nigeria..and Physics and astronomy is highly needed in Nigeria,check out usa and their technology,it was their physicist that shaped that damn country with their inventions,and see NASA again,that group is respected worldwide,and is home physicists and astronomers who make their country grow day by day,all we need is the govt. To fund a group of these guys here in Nigeria,and thats where the Nigerian Development Company comes in,this group gather scientists,technologists,engineers from all district to innovate,invent,teach the aspiring,learning,and learned of that field of study.if you want to share your ideas with the NDC,you cann send your emails to:bobylynx1998@gmail.com or whatsapp:09020049067...THANKS.your contribution is highly cherished. And @op,there is no such thing as solar engineering

amani337:
botany should be de first to be scrap out

Why? Botany is important because it is the scientific study of plants, which are in turn used in many aspects of human life. Botanists study plants of all kinds and apply their knowledge of characteristics and traits of crops, plants and flowers to influence the fields of medicine, science and cosmetics among others. Plants support basic daily functions of human life by providing food and nutrition, supplementing medicines and cosmetic products and serving as important ingredients in a variety of medicines.

Bros all courses are important and also influences other branch of science and Technology for the development of our society...

Nice one @OP
As far as Software Development and Advanced Programming is there, then the Federal Government must take the necessary step to eradicate what the OP has already destroyed,,, or if Else...

Abugab:
Wrong

Wholly wrong!!! These replacements sounds more like Profession Courses

quite true nice post op

Op you are making sense joor

but some of them are oo

MY TAKE

Op is a short sighted fellow, funny and worst courses are in advance countries.. Why do you think there is "African study" in Cambridge?? Why are they offering French and other language in US schools? Cos every small thing matters to them over there. The truth is that most of the courses we have in Nigeria have no relevancy to our Labour market, that is why a graduate that studied a course for four years, would be asking where he or she can work.

Many of those courses were introduced when Nigeria was still great, courses like Print Technology (Gone are the days of Academic press and many other paper mills like one in Erin ile, kwara state). These structures are now abode for rodents and games.

Polymer Engineering , Agronomy ( When Agriculture was still the hallmark of our national Economy), Industrial and Textile Engineering, Paint and Glass Technology (History had it that Kaduna alone has nothing less than 50 textile factories then couple with many others in places like Ado-Ekiti), this industry absorb the graduates of the aforementioned courses as their manpower, Metalugry and Material science (most of our steel rolling mills are now moribund and in comatose)..

Having said all that, This does not warrant this scrapping of this courses cos only a short sighted country would do that, because a visioneer plans for where he or she is going and not where he or she is, presently.

Many graduates of Agricultural courses like Animal Health and Husbandry, fishery among many others are even ashamed to explore the world of agriculture, you find them looking for jobs in banks, attending management trainee programmes in FMCG, in Auditing companies and the likes, thereby dumping what they went to study for five years!

Many that studied Computer science are not ready to think and be gainfully employed, Graduates of Arts are now getting competition from even products of Law and many allied courses for the lofty Entertainment Industry.

Now most graduates now focused on Entertainment, Joining forces like Army, NSCDC, Immigration, Police without the love of the job, Saturated Industries like Banking, oil and gas, Auditing coy like KPMG, PWC et al. Nothing like Hospitality and Tourism Industry, Even few are Looking at ICT, Agricultural sector has been totally Abandoned.

Until Every graduate, sit down and think that what we study in school does not matter but what we bring out of it and how we can find something meaningful out there to engage in, we may continue to grumble for a long time.
