You made some valid points Mr. OP but I don't agree with your opinion, I will rephrase mine to be early completion of education guarantees success. 2 Likes 1 Share |

OP, You made good valid points. I don't want to start blaming or complaining cuz I hate both. But let's face facts, the Nigeria Government (system) failed most people. There's no more honour and value in education in Nigeria . 3 Likes 1 Share |

Financial outcome is not and should not be the focus of formal education. Structured education brings about a well rounded populace which propels the development of the society. The more educated the society is, the farther away poverty will be. Check the statistics.....poverty is endemic in the countries with low levels of education. While you think of trading and business to make money, everything you trade on is someone's brain child. people are innovating and inventing, the western world pour billions of dollars into research and product development. Education aids innovation and provides solution the world's problems. Everything must not be measure in naira and kobo. 8 Likes 1 Share |

Impactful Higher Education is still the way most people would climb out of poverty. They might not be 'rich', they would however get by and have chances to grow. |

I think Education is not a must but it’s an asset especially in today’s business now education has many forms street education , tertiary and so on. A combination of all these ensures success. It’s not overnight either. One step at a time. Education teaches you not to envy your fellow man but to apply yourself to whatever you love to do. Doubt me ? make una check well well 3 Likes |

One of the biggest reasons why the country is messed up is the foolish thinking that just because you went to a university thr govt is supposed to provide a job for you. I meet so many that will be saying "I'm a graduate ". So, that mean jack. What's important is what can you do now for any company or investor that will bring value and ROI into the company. Your degree mean very little if that's all you've got. Graduating or attending a university is not like in the 50s, 60s, and 70s when it was only the few, lucky and intelligent that had the opportunity. Now even a dumb ass can work their way through a university without knowing Jack. In the US, your degree is secondary, what's most important is what experience and value can you add to the company on your first day. 2 Likes 1 Share |

I would always say that making categorical statement like this is foolhardy. Why? I believe that your circumstance would determine a lot about you in life. There are lots of folks using education to get to desired heights because they are surrounded by people that can actually help them rise. Same goes to people with skills etc. You are as good as the people you have around you. All sons of footballers play football, likewise there are lots of other examples!! Money can be made in every way! 4 Likes |

Education only makes sense if it's not a brainwashed one as they do Africa. African education primarily ends at the level of understating oyinbo words, definitions, and concepts. It lacks common sense, clarity, initiatives and synthesis, that is why the continent is still in the dark age. It's embarrassing, and it urgently needs to change. 4 Likes |

What I have discovered in this life, no matter what you do or how many decades you spend acquiring degrees upon degrees, your destiny alone will decide how far you will go in life, which brings us to the summary; que sera sera, whatever will be, will be ![]() So in any situation you find yourself in, do your best and leave the rest to God who has your destiny to decide, sadly that's the reality of life 4 Likes 2 Shares |

Mikester:People will type all sorts of motivation here, if you go close to them you can't do what they do. I have said it before, the Nigeria system SCHOOL won't tell how to make money but how to read historical facts. As a Nigeria student pls learn something. Being financially stable is a step ahead.

You've made a very good point with your write up. So there's little or nothing more to say but I'd love to make some contribution. Funny how some people think formal education is overrated in Nigeria. But I can boldly tell you its not. For individual growth in Nigeria, both formal and informal education is important. However, how far we can go with either of the two depends on our financial strength. So if you can afford both simultaneously, I would suggest you go for both. We all know the how competitive getting a high paying job is in Nigeria. So why wouldn't you seek for alternative? Or as a business management graduate whose father doesn't a own a company, you think someone is just gonna make you the general manager of their company? No way! Why don't you start as the CEO of your own company? Formal education is like an eye opener. With the help of formal education, you can easily pick up valuable information about skills acquired from your informal education. For instance, as a fashion designer, you can get yourself books from other countries and consume it and add the information to your preexisting pool of knowledge. And trust me, its gonna help you business wise. I think the best way to make it in Nigeria is to be the ruler of both worlds as neither of the two is superior in comparison to the other. 2 Likes 1 Share |

well I for one don't think education is bad but just that they failed to teach us financial education and also tend to neglect technical schools or college which I think is also very important that's why we refuse to grow as a country aside from bad leaders check all the billionaires we have in the world today 80% of them were school drop out or less educated, so I agree..... 2 Likes 1 Share |
