School na scam especially for dis 9ja
even in this present generation u fit bcome computer engineer and u myt not even study d course or even go to school
d best thing is dat you should b very productive with ur lyf
Make research works start learning new things online and outline
At d end of everything you won't regret it

Speaking English as usual.

A farmer in of the SWestern states placed cassava in front of his farms as a deterrent against those cows As expected, the cows ate them and died. The man was arrested not because he planted cassava on his farmland but because senior citizens died. Farmers defended themselves against Fulani herdsmen after series of attacks in Tai, Rivers state. What happened? The Nigerian Army was called in from Bori Camp to "calm" the situation. Prior to those attacks, the army did not "calm" any situation. Or the incident where farmers pursued Fulani herdsmen from their lands only for them to come later and slaughtered all those farmers or the case where a Fulani herdsman threatened to kill a farmer who pleaded with him to leave his land. What about the case in Uruan, Akwa Ibom where Fulani herdsmen cut off the hands of the farm manager of a cassava plantation who dared to pursue them from the farmland. Guess who owns the land? An aide to Governor Udom. What happened afterwards? Nothing! Or the Nairalander who as a result of economic privation of Covid-19 borrowed money and started a vegetable farm only for Fulani herdsmen to use their cows and ravaged everything. How does he pay back his debts?


Keep speaking English.

Please go and ahead to study it, I wish you the best.

Do we have it in Nigeria? If it merges electrical and computer then all good but mechanical alone as a course of study is useless.

tensazangetsu20:
A lot of Nigerian students especially those from high school still hold some archaic mentality that some courses are a sure way out of poverty. The situation of Nigeria and the future should make people dead that mentality o. If you arent from a rich family or well connected you should avoid studying some courses in Nigeria.

The following should be avoided except you are rich or well connected.

Medicine: This used to be a very sure way out of poverty. Just like 14 years back, even NYSC doctors were getting six figures. It was so good that even after NYSC and Housemanship, some doctors had bought nice cars or even built houses. The situation is totally different today. To get housemanship as a doctor na die and even when you get it you will be paid peanuts. To migrate out of the country as a doctor requires serious money which if you arent from a privileged home might be very difficult to meet. To also further as a doctor in Nigeria is very difficult as a lot of residency programs are based on who you know. Its no more about merit just as it used to be before yet every year thousands of teenagers kill themselves trying to get into medicine when they can get into other programs which are much more lucrative.

[s][/s]All Engineering Courses except Electrical/Computer engineering: Contrary to what a lot of people think, engineering a lot of branches of engineering are not as lucrative as people think they are. I was checking unilag's cut off the other day for my cousins and was shocked to find out that petroleum engineering has the highest cut-off point in the engineering department. That is a program that should be scrapped. Its glory days are over and never going to come back and its so restrictive yet a whole lot of brilliant people think killing themselves to study this is actually a good idea. Electrical and computer engineering are the only courses I can really advise anyone to go for as they are very much relevant in the ICT sector. Embedded systems, computer hardware, robotics alongside a host of others are mostly offshoots of these fields.
Lucrative alternatives to engineering that arent as competitive are computer science, mathematics and physics. Someone intending to study civil engineering or mechanical engineering in Nigeria should go for physics. There's practically no place a mechanical or civil engineer can work in this world that someone with a degree in physics cant work.[s][/s]

Law: I wont say much here but if you love poverty, this is an amazing course to study. If you are from arts class, instead of law go for a degree in English. At least with a TEFL certificate and an English degree you can get good jobs teaching English in asia and latin america.

Another thing that might help is that before you study a course, go on linkedin. Create a profile, go to linkedin jobs and check specifically how many jobs exist for your course in Nigeria, Africa and globally.

Nigeria isnt funny anymore to waste time on nonsense and funny as it is, Nigeria of today is a paradise compared to the Nigeria coming so folks should help themselves.

Karleb:
Biochemistry. Chemistry.

Most people who studied these courses are doing something else.

Let me add that these courses are not easy. Hard but almost nothing to show for it after graduation.

Mr. Op you have no clue...

your post is misleading

AMEN!

Yet, your response is not a fact i had wanted.
.
let me give a little fact.
.
facebook search 'ischolarinitaive'.
just scroll through their page.
there, u wl see one of their scholar, who studied mechatronics at fuoye. he won a fully funded phd scholarship to a prestigious uni in the u.s... yet he study mechatronics.
.
also visit "educationusa abuja" fb page and see how engr students are getting fully funded scholarship in u.s(majority are mechanical guys).
.
fact check ur self, dnt believe me for my words.

i engage in facts, i love logic.

@ tensazangetsu20

what about MECHATRONICS ENGINEERING?

I think, it's the best of all.
it's the brigde connecting the three major engineering courses(mechanical+elect/elect+computer).
.
moreso, it is a course that merge I.T with engineering.
.
that's my course, i'm a fresher though.

TUANKU:
All engineering except electrical and computer engineering? This is misleading.

Nozino:



It isn’t. The OP was correct. I read Mechanical Engineering and Mech is literally useless in Nigeria. If it isn’t EEE, just study any 4year course and graduate.

It seems you didn't read the title: from a poor home, it's pointless considering the strike actions and should be done if the person is very intelligent. I've no business with those people or pages you mentioned. Their achievements not mine.

though, i never agree totally with what the op said.
though the o.p is one side in the mentality of japa.
i wouldn't love to derail the thread, but i can't stop the truth from spreading.

now listen everyone
.
if you know that you are from humble background and don't know the steps to 'japa', but your option is to settle and be employed in nigeria. pls listen, as i said this from the bottom of my heart.
.
for science student
go and study medical courses.
by all getting, get medicine or dentistry(mbbs or bds),
if you can't, go for nursing, pharm, medlab, physiotherapy etc.
never go for any engr course except you have passion and connection.
.
don't let anybody cajole u to believing dat i.t rules the world. yes dat might me true bt even a farmer can learn it(hyperbole). wat do i mean i.t is for everyone, you cn dabble to it anytime.

av u ever seen a doctor, nurse, dentist, pharmacy come on dis thread to complain abt life after school in 9ja? but reverse is the case for engrs. </b>

tensazangetsu20:


Medicine don cast for Naija big time o. They have their own threads too where they cry. The financially bouyant ones are writing Plab to run. Theres no even space to write Plab again. Its overbooked. You need to go to Ghana to write. As for Nursing, max salary nurses are paid is 30k. .

OH MY...!
boss, i used to respect ur versatility in the realm of japa. but you dey fall my hand.
.
but is it new to you that the best, easiest and simplest way to japa out of this country is via nursing? i so so jealous nursing!
but do you ridicule nursing like that?
.
moreso, where do u got that salary report from? a private clinic?

tensazangetsu20:


I come from a family of healthcare professionals and lawyers. Na stubbornness carry me go engineering. To migrate in healthcare you need serious money cause the salaries are very low and they are owed often for very long.

Microwhy:

Embedded systems and Robotics both are mechanical courses.
But because you totally don't have knowledge about what you try to say, you're just blabing.

tensazangetsu20:

They aren't done in core mechanical engineering. There's no mechanical engineering syllabus that has embedded systems and robotics under its core. You don't even have the requirements to take them. You need c++ alongside knowledge of electronics to take embedded systems.
