education is prolly the wrong word.

what we need is marketable skills. you need to learn to do something that others are willing to pay for.

I agree with you

It depend on what you mean by education. Most nigerians see education as just going to the university alone which is wrong. Infact informal education is the best form of education.Once you passed through nursery,primary and secondary school and you feel like you already have what you want to acheive then i don't think it's necessary to go to the university, cos it will be a waste of time and resources.

Money and Education are both ART,  [flash=200,200][/flash]

Checkout Gate, Dangote and some biz guys who are employer of labour, they are real time multi they understood the ART and quickly keyed into. I guess your question is Academics and Money making which is greatest?
Education mean exposure, awareness, enlightenment,

Education stays with you while money comes and goes.

Education will be your breakfast,lunch and dinner abi?

Education and money are both important things. They are essential to support our life. People may think money is the most important thing in our life. But in my opinion, Education comes first than money. They don’t know behind the power of education which makes money as an illusion.

Nowadays, people are desperate to find money which makes them think money is the most important thing. They don’t realise the power of education. Our education can lead us to become a successful people. We can achieve everything we want with the power of education that money can’t. Money can lose but education remains still in our mind.

As we know, people think without money we can’t survive. I would like to say if that’s totally wrong. People who are born with money but they aren’t educated. They definitely can’t survive. Their money is limited. They don’t know what to do when their money when is finished. But it would be different for educated people. They know they have a great asset called education. They still can survive with the asset by having a job.

Our future depends on our education. People can’t rely on money. Money doesn’t guarantee you to be a successful person, but education does guarantee. People who prefer to rely on money than education. They will soon know what real life is.

Oyb is right, prolly education is not the word.
We've seen educated graduates carrying diplomas around, but no job.

What we should call it is "marketable skills". . . . .I mean, what's the point of education without the methods to use it to gain physical goods to survive?

Yea yea, education without labor won't get you your meals, you gotta use it to get what you want But getting money should not be prioritized

I agree with you

That's why america's liberal arts education is the best.

Money is greater - you can get education with money, but not necessarily money with education.

Without money, you cannot have education - even if you have a scholarship, someone somewhere has put down the money to pay for the education. Even if education is 'free', someone is paying for it.

Money is undoubtedly greater than education. Obviously, with education you can utilise money more effectively, but without money in the first place education in itself is useless.

You are not being real here or is that the level of your understanding.

LOL, how real can I get?
Ok, let me, break it down to you

Let me remind you that most big shots does not attend uni and thereafter, they employ graduates to work under their establishment.

Ok, I'm reminded. . . .But does that work for everybody?

Would you encourage your friend, family, etc that education is not a factor, not a necessity? hmm?
Money is the root of all evil, my friend. Would you encourage them to remain uneducated?
My friend, money comes and go, whatever knowledge you gain in the earth stays with you. What you do with it, any means you take advantage of it, may it be to gain power, money, or understanding, it's all up to you.

During this economy, we've had billionaires lose their home, their stocks, etc.
Yes, we've also had doctors, engineers, psychiatrist etc lose their jobs, but who do you think would have it easier once "the economy is back on its feet"?

Gaining money is assumed more important today in the world not even only in Nigeria, the truth must be told

phhhtttttt!! The way we go after the wealth is what matters As Nigeria and it's employed yahoo yahoos and scammers how it's doing.
Not saying my country is the only one doing it, but we are the most known notorious in the "gang"

Education simply upgrade our knowledge and ideas in the society and its self substance and ends once the person gives up the ghost while your establishment rolls(that is if you were opportuned to make the money and actually invested)

Ehrrrm duh. That's what I've beeng saying.
So why are you yabbing me again?

Education is not common sense, obviously. It's just it's backbone. More reason why it's more important that the want of wealth.

Money first jare but its more better if you could have both.

So this is what you were trying to get to?


Atleast we know where you're leading: yahoo yahoo jk

Ehrrrm, if Government officials are doing what needs to be done with education system, then one needs not have money to have an education.

But of course, in Nigeria where money talks, who wants to hear a poor man?

5 yrs ago i would have said education.
Today i say undoubtedly MONEY rules.

How does the government 'do what needs to be done'? Is it with Yar'adua's goatee or with money?

You need resources - money, to carry out any fruitful activity.

A Nigerian with a masters degree in political science is educated . . . but who cares when Dangote has got wads of cash?

That's why I said "if"
Like "if" there was such thing as financial aids and student loans/grants/scholarships. . . . .money won't be a priority.

Education! Education! Education! Quite frankly, education will give you a better leverage. Education has more value than money. Money only has temporary value. Education speaks far more than money. Education defines you far more than money.


Any body can have money!!!

Not everybody can have a good education.

Think long term!!!!!!

Cheers.

It depend on what you mean by education. Most nigerians see education as just going to the university alone which is wrong.

Correct yarns!

get some education get more money.

Above all-Money is important than Education! This is no joke ! If the God almighty should ask me this question today , I will pleasurably go with MONEY (That rules )

Wid the present global melt down, more and more folks are returning to school to further their education,

be it to obtain a masters degree, or a PhD, i feel like the further u study, the more earing power u are likely to achieve.

So I'll go wid education on this one!!

I think the most important things is having common sense, which will take you places.

Pls can someone answer this question,

WHY DO PEOPLE GO TO SCHOOL IN THE FIRST PLACE

actually,am facing exactly this situation right now,i gat 7 credit,2 a's in ma ssce,with 239 and 245 in previous jamb exams,but admission's beign essing with 4 like three years,and fortunately or shld i say unfortunately,ma pops left his his bussines 4 me that;s worth like imilla and now i don suspend ma school cuz ma mind now dey race ab t the cheda i go make before dem check stock,trully since then levels change,now i am comfortable staying only with no family member or friend for two rooms,and am still 22,then tell me how i'll start thinking of leaving this bussiness 4 degree while i knw a lot of jobeless graduates, a lot of peeps yhink am doing the right tin while some think i am on the wrong side,and trully am confused cuz am the brightest in our family but being the only son i want to get mad rich and make it while still wrong,so maybe csh comes first while education comes after money,but if nat 4n this things i would've choosed education cuz way back i thought that was d only way to success.

Guy focus on growing that business.At least u have senior secondary education.If you want to enter any school look for one that is involved in enterpreneurship studies or a biz school to make you a guru.Forget university education IF U REALLY DO NOT NEED IT.

my guy, it depends on what u define education to be ooo, cuz tis not all about goin to uni n gettn a degree that's gon make u educated cuz if nt, then there wouldn't be people we term as educated illiterates!!!! U see ehn, the main point is for sum1 to do the right thing and act responsibly cuz even with highly-educated ppl like Maddoff u get the world's biggest fraudsters and an empire like Dangote's can't be taught in school because it's generally a way of life so you see bro aint bout which one is higher is bout using wat u hav as effectively i guess

in the long run the pursuit of and application of knowledge is more gainful than the pursuit of money

it is because of knowledge that serfs of today are living life at the standards of the kings of yesterday.
king george would have loved a commode, and if hes the on e i think he is penicillin.

Bill gates and co are where they are today because of the application of knowledge, not money. money is great if you are born into it, but in a education (properly applied) is a bridge to money

seems i'm rambling. . .

nigeria cannot be used as a case study, because we don't have any knowledge based entrepreneurs. most nigerian business men started as traders of goods produced by people with knowledge. .

oyb:


seems i'm rambling. . .

Nope.

I think you're on the right track

Education is important!
