The Internet is your friend.

ceejayluv:

I beg to differ. To truly industrialize Nigeria, we need huge investments, power sector reforms and whole lots of favourable laws and policies. For example, the dangote refinery has been recruiting graduate engineers for years now and recently employed over 200 graduate trainees. Imagine what 20 of such investments will absorb. The skills graduates possess are more valuable in such industries as there are opportunities for research and development.
Of course, more Artisans Will even be needed in the construction and operating stage as well.

yesloaded:


Says who?

OSCOTECH supposed to be college of technology but go there and see the kind of courses the school offers

What you will hear is Banking and Finance, Accounting, Business Administration etc

Softmirror:


You mean your narrow mindset can't grasp the simple commentsI made? But how can it when you took Oshomole's words literally. 🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂

ivandragon:


Again, read to understand my comment.

I clearly referred to unfavourable socio-economic conditions as an impediment to industrialisation. So how is your point different from mine?

Are you ready to list all that is wrong with Nigeria on this case?

wirinet:

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.

Love800:
Banking and finance, accounting, business administration, are they not technical?

madridguy:
How many technical college/school you build as a governor or as a senator Pa Adams?

studyless123:


The millions of graduates that Nigeria have churned out, what have they developed? I've conducted several interviews and found many of them unemployable. The smart ones end up learning skills. There's more demand for skilled labour than university graduates. The country doesn't lack university graduates but lack skilled labourers.

IamANigerianMan:

Their children are schooling in one of the best university in the world but the children of the poor should go and learn Plumber so that they will continue to rule them

yongg:




The plenty that know, have we kept them and provide a system for them to raise and develop other Nigerian engineers in a sustainable manner while keeping them active working?

Is this not why we loose talent to other climes?

lexy2014:


in all you have said, I dont see anywhere you showed that you have a very good understanding and knowledge about how society works or is stratified.

smokinloud:

The "unfavorable socioeconomic conditions" in Nigeria runs far deeper than you're stating it. It's not just about recognizing the values of technical jobs; it's about addressing the systemic issues that have led to widespread poverty, inequality and lack of quality life that the technical workforce is facing.

Tommydare:
Stupid man. As if there are no bricklayers, carpenters etc in the country. He should encourage his children to become iron benders as well. Eleribu gbogbo

Love800:
I wanted to hear it from your own view. Definitely i will still ask the internet. But its good to get knowledge from different sources and then put dem together and get a great definition of that particular thing. So you are one of the source.

If you don't still want to share, no problem. Thanks so much.

smokinloud:

Individuals like Zuckerberg and Bill Gates, who didn't complete university, aren't artisans. Instead, they're self-taught innovators who took theoretical concepts developed by university graduates, ultimately revolutionizing their industries.

remzytimer:
why did he not train his children as one, wicked ones looking for all possible means to enslave people.

Kukutente23:

So you've looked around you didn't see bricklayer and ironbender in your environment.
Now contrast with if you've ever come across a lathe machine design specialist in Nigeria

wirinet:


The redded quote is correct but only partially. The backbone of industrialisation particularly in the 21st century is first and foremost Science and Technology, followed by Energy. Without cheap and available source of energy industrialisation cannot get off the ground. Then followed by a machine tool industry. You need machines that would make the tools and machines for making products.
Then you need highly skilled engineers to design and build infrastructures for the industries. Blue collar jobs are the last piece of the industrialisation puzzle. Some countries don't even bother with blue collar workers as they are the cheapest to produce and their wage is also the cheapest in the whole equation, they simply import blue collar workers from poor countries.

In this era of AI, machine learning and robotics, many of the functions of blue color workers can be undertaken by machines.

ivandragon:


Again, read to understand.

Socioeconomic conditions are varied and affect people differently.

You guys should learn to read according to context or are you expecting me to list out every problem with the system as it affects blur collared jobs in Nigeria?

ceejayluv:

If you Read My last sentence, I wrote That of course, more Artisans Will be needed at the construction and operating stage.
Oya, let the artisans design the turbines, machineries, etc2.

smokinloud:

I agree with you. God bless you.

ivandragon:


That is why I keep saying must of you do not read to understand.

Do you think at the time they were coming up with thier innovations they did not need to be technical or build/fabricate equipment?

That they have become successful does not negate or devalue thier humble upbringing.

Enskynelson:

If indeed what he is saying is true, how come they still pay brick layers very small in this country? If indeed Nigeria is short of these, their pay should have been high to attract people into the job.
Nigerians don't care about certs. If cert is our problem, a Bank Manager won't resign to be a cleaner in Canada! Let them pay brick layers good money and people will abandon their school for the job.

Oshiomole got this completely wrong.

smokinloud:

But most of them are not professionals in the field. Maybe they hired the services of technical expertise.

Tradepunter2:


Do you know what industrialization actually means??

BlessedGift:
Hmmmm, but we can copy other developed countries and make the labour they put in worthwhile

yongg:
So just because you need artisans you want to do away with the community that actually make their work better?

Without varsity product where do you think the new technology better than the previous or currently used ones will come from?

Who will be behind the research and development necessary to reduce material use, energy use (from creation, to end use operations), while increasing product output and general optimization and ultimately make life simpler?
Must you sweat for a monotonous task or task you can automate so you can use that time you would have spent doing it to do something more meaningful like solve another problem?

This is another symptom of "na statistics we go chop" bite only a largely illiterate population chorus after someone who's expected to be educated made while campaigning for the number 1 seat of power in the country. Such a daft statement. The imports that the FG likes so much is them eating statistics of other serious governments. So you prefer to expensively spend to chop other peoples statistics rather than develop your own resources which is better, economically cost effective and vast in quantity available to you?


When has there been a lack of artisanry and a standardization of rates and trade in the country ?

If the society that needs this is serious they know what to do else any private business can take it upon themselves to set a standard let the government that has been slumbering in its duties get motivation to do the right thing concerning their responsibilities.

pepericozi:


How many companies are established by government self. Instead, they prefer to embezzle and keep the money under their pillow

Stayingalive:
stop taking weed
You’re trying to make sense of people who stole our future and turn around to call us names. Do you know what people go through in school for 4 years and only for the old fool to say this stupid thing. Who is now to be blamed? The guys who went to school?

Stop making dinner from dustbin

djon78:




If they are paid peanuts then why do you blame those that want to study where they can be paid better

People like oshiomole are totally obsolete

They don't even have a clue of how things are now

Bricklayer's, carpenters are paid well in developed countries like the US UK Canada EU etc

So Nigerian elites should find out how others do it
