School is not a scam. Please you need education With the volume of nonsense that gets uploaded on the internet daily, how would you be able to filter right from wrong when you are not educated? Is it when you read EMILO2STAY's post that HIV is not real and cannot be transmitted via unprotected sexual intercourse, you now get infected? Please school is not a scam. Get educated. |

Peaceyw: The fact that you misunderstood the difference between going to school and getting an education is where you veered off course. A school is simply a place where you get access to an education. Attending one doesn't mean you will automatically be educated, but its more of what you do with the access personally that counts. You may think it's a waste of time and others cheat the system while in school and perform better than you, but you better not be among those without an education in future. Things will be tough for you. There are stories of people with no education or those that cheated all through school being successful in life, but that number is 2 out of every 1000. The probability you will be one of that 2 is slim. That's a chance you don't want to take. Get an education, and do whatever you want to do in life afterwards. Dont even bother to get the certificate after graduating. But the things an education gives you will be important in life as you do things. 1 Like |

alphaNomega:When he said school is a scam doesn't mean you shouldn't learn how to read and write.. He is talking about the stress and the years you wasted to go to school at the end of the day no job and those that didn't further after ss3 are now Bosses of their business, while you with your degree is searching for job at 30 or driving keke just to make ends meet. 2 Likes |

Note: I think I need to make this clear. When I said school na scam, I meant in most Nigerian school. I didn't say education is a scam, education is very important. You don't need to go to college to get education. You can get educated without schooling. I take my education serious a lot because I an aware of the sacrifice my family made for me to be able to type on the internet. Education is important but where you get educated is equally important and what you get to know is also important. Don't misinterpret my words. 2 Likes |

Getting a degree doesn't make you escape poverty, you only escape illiteracy. As Nigerians, rather, students, we should understand that going to school is not an automatic way of getting employed, you go there to gain knowledge. What you do with the knowledge gained after school is what determine your economic growth. You started your write up by describing yourself as someone that read, but from the way you vent your anger, it's obvious that your school doesn't have impact on your reasoning. You can be educated and still stupid, it's a choice. I will not problem graduates because the government is not providing funds, security and enabling environment for youths to explore their dreams, but people like you, with this mindset is dangerous. School is not a scam, it is your government that is scamming you. 2 Likes |

wiseone28: There are folks that went further than SS3 level education and still run their businesses successfully. Knowing how to read and write is not enough. Have you read emilo2stay's post on HIV? You have people questioning the authenticity and even agreeing to the misinformation he put up there. This would not happen if those posters were properly educated. They know how to read and write, yet cannot distinguish harmful information from authentic ones. |

IncredibleWrite:i really don't have that kind of energy for negetive and myopic people like you whose major achievement in life is their grade. So, when i wrote 97% of 2:1 sort their self through while in sch simply mean am a pained third class graduate. Well, a faceless forum like this gave you a platform to display your gullibility. I went through your timeline and discovered you're just a jobless copywriter with your 2:1. Poor mind |

The common slogan nowadays is that think of what you can do for the government and not what the government can do when it is obvious the economy is so bad that the few Entrepreneurs are struggling to survive. If a Certificate will end up useless why then waste time and money in acquiring it even when it is too expensive.You Finish NYSC and they tell you to go and learn Shoemaking, Tailoring etc. They tell you there is no Job out there. If we don't call this a scam, Please which other name should be given to this. 2 Likes |

walexsho: one of the most heartbreaking things to me is when I hear people advising a graduate who suffered for years , toiled day and night to acquire the certificate to go and learn barbing, plumbing etc.. some will even say he’s lazy, he can’t think out of the box bla bla, how can you say that a person who suffered for 4 or 5 good years to get a certificate is lazy ? Why does he need to go and learn craft again before he can put food on his table ? What’s the essence of his suffering in school ? What’s the usefulness ?.. Education is not a scam, but going to school in Nigeria is. 3 Likes |

Please school is not a waste of time. Some of the knowledge you get from school can not be acquired anywhere else. Unless you don't know how to benefit from such knowledge. |

Donpenny:Lol sorry to disappoint you. True. When I first created this account, I was a "jobless" but HARDWORKING Copywriter who was jostling for jobs on Nairaland. Fast forward to today? I've worked with expatriates at the ports in Lagos before deciding to work from home as same "jobless" Copywriter. That Jobless Copywriter has today, stopped working with Nigerians. I've worked with and still working with reputable companies and brands in the USA, UK, Canada, Australia, etc. And you are the gullible one here who thinks he can come to a faceless forum to make illogical statements and expect not to be tackled.

IncredibleWrite:you sounds so unintelligent i swear. What makes you think you are the only one working as a freelancer? Your niche would even make you poorer because is over saturated. You don't even have a good marketable skill yet and here you are thinking you have made it in life because you have 2:1 with your cram and pour. Instead of you to concentrate your energy and focus on a skill that would earn you a better life, you're here claiming local champion from one glorified secondary sch. And the worse thing is that you're getting older daily. I pity your small mind. You see, am just advising you before poverty finish you with that your dirty coat you wear daily doing copywriting around like a wanderer |

Donpenny:Oga intelligent mind Get the f**k outta my mentions. You first called me a jobless Copywriter and when I fired back at you with the reality, you became disappointed and all emotional ![]() There are many areas in Copywriting and my niche is Email Marketing and list management. Said I'm wearing dirty coat Lol To disappoint you again, I'm a Business man into several things which your dull brain won't comprehend. I don't even like to be called a Copywriter because I'm more than just one. And if you attended a glorified secondary school, I won't be surprised. But I didn't. Now if you have siblings, or when you give birth, tell them to go make Third class like you have made. Tell them education has no value and that 97% of 2.1 grads got it through runs and that it isn't possible for them. Dundee |
