Are bricklayers and iron benders the ones that will industralize Nigeria?
Imagine. Nothing Musa no go hear for gate. So na bricklayers and iron benders go develop Nigeria? Na bricklayers and iron benders develop UK, US, Germany, Japan, China, etc.?
Maybe we should start hiring bricklayers and iron benders in government, in our refineries, in our powers stations, even in our universities.

The most stupid suggestion I have ever heard.

That is a crude way of putting it, but Oshiomole is right. To industrialise, Nigeria needs more technical work force.

However, the socio-economic conditions and value system in nigeria does not give proper dignity and reward to such jobs, except on few occasions.


For ur mind na bricklayer go bring about the innovation

Who designed the structure iron benders and bricklayers are repeating its construction? Though sounds wierd, he is actually right.
So many utility programs have been oversaturated in the schools and labour market. Too many folks were "forcefully given" programs zoology, psychology, sociology, education or accountng in their guest for the certificate.

Make the few ones in those fields rich and wealthy first and wait for the subsequent avalanche by the youth in the direction.

It's not rocket science.

You mean the likes of Federal Universities of technologies?

The main problem is we Nigerians hardly want to struggle for the common good of this nation. We are mostly saboteurs. I can remember a headmaster of a technical secondary school who told his students to carry almost all the machines and hand tools that was bought for the students by the Federal government to his house. He stole almost every thing. That's how it plays out in all sectors. WE ARE OUR OWN PROBLEM.



And what did you do?

Three things are evident from your question.

1. You obviously don't understand metonymy/synecdoche, so I can excuse your inability to comprehend even though the my reference to 'technical' work force should have given you an idea that the matter relates to blue collar jobs in general which leads me to the next point.

2. You seem not to know that blue collar jobs are the backbone of industrialisation. No matter how many tertiary degrees you have, no matter how many innovations you can come up with, you need people who can put in sweat and blood to do the 'dirty' jobs. People with technical know-how and special skill sets. Those people whom you take for granted which brings me to my third point.

3. You come across as one of those who raise thier noses against honest Labour. You see a bricklayer or mechanic and see the person as sub-human. You think they contribute nothing to the economy.

False. Great civilizations are a consequence of technological innovations in solving basic human problems, controlling the environment or in warfare.

These people are far from realities. The Bricklayers, iron benders and artisans don't have jobs to do, building houses now is a now a big luxury.
Even mechanics are getting out of jobs,
