Deceptive illusion and waste of money plus time. Better to FIRST use small money and short time to acquire a skill and start making money before deciding whether more formal education is necessary. |

reverendfather: "i[b]t's actually a place where students get to memorize books upon books upon books, that they'll eventually forget a year after graduation."[/b] University education in Nigeria is not about mind development but ability to memorize and score high as the lecturers are lazy. The difference btw the '60s. '70s Early '80s and now in job availability is that then, the economy was strong and diversified enough for the population of the country. But as the population grew, there was no proportional growth in the economy to keep up with the number of educated(graduands) emerging from the schools. Agriculture and other industries were abandoned as oil began to role out "ready-made" dollars for the rulers, impunity gradually grew in leaps and bounds as there was no punitive measures to curb the corruption especially in civil service. Banks gave out loans to powerful influential people who never repaid their loans but lived large on borrowed money, lack of prosecution for such crimes committed by "the above the law" people killed many banks and the economy ended up in the bellies of such V.I.Ps. They didn't create jobs to support govt to grow the economy that's how we got here. Can you imagine if most of MKO Abiola's companies, Chief Igbinedion's companies like "Canada Dry" which competed stiffly with Coka Cola in Bendel in the '70s-'80s, Okada Air which had already become national carrier for some African countries then. Many other companies owned by Northern business men, Eastern businessmen, Delta today would have had some of the biggest Private and govt companies after they split from Edo (Bendel). These companies would have become exporters of large scale produce and products to earn forex. But they all died with their founders and subsequent govt ignored them as Oil was available for easy "take-away" . A company that had 50 staff strenght in the '80s should 've by now be employing thousands of young people and the multiplier effect... |

ednut1: So because your dad got a job after college means the country was ok abi? So graduates today don't get jobs at all after graduation. You realise that there was a coup from the 60's to the 80's in Nigeria? Does that sound like a country which was normal? |

italkmoses:Another thing to take into cognizance is the mere reasoning that before the establishments of formal education, by extension, schooling system as we have in today's world, there were men who were successful without going to school. They applied certain principles that made them successful in their time. I do not think those principles have been extincted but there was failure of transition, integration and propagation when the schooling system was established which could/would have seen those principles being taught in our curricular. 2 Likes |

ednut1: I just can't understand Nigerians. Knowledge is a problem even when the means of getting it is widely available. Another problem is they are too used to what i call "the suffer condition" too easily. How can you have a coup in; 1. 1966. Twice 2. 1975. 3. 1976. 4. 1983. 5. 1990. 6. 1993. . . . . . .And still believe Nigeria would thrive. With all this, some people actually believe that Nigeria was great and that things were ok in the country. How is this possible? There are even people today who say GEJ was a wonderful president and that things were great during his presidency. Another symptom of the suffer condition. One of the most incompetent leaders we ever had is widely praised as a "great man". Nigerians truly deserve the condition they are in today. I swear. Smh. 1 Like |

onyenze123:Broz I respect ur reasoning. Its only here in Nigeria and other less developed parts of the word that we tend to undermine the real essence of education and skill sets and then replace such with red and black painted papers [ certificates ]. In reality!! we tend not to care, even if the person bearing the certificate is as light headed as a balloon or as slow as a pig. He might even be a simpleton for all we care!!! Moreover, Its high time we Nigerian youths equiped ourselves with skill sets, be job creators and not just seekers. There'r simply no jobs out there both for the certified and uncertified. Even the mastered and the phdified are feeling the pinches. |

Right from the time immemorial any prospective better future life premised on acquired abstract (paper certificate) formal academic education has always ended up in a delusion of grandeur. As the saying goes the end justifies the means. Truth is that many a time most people have always misrepresent what true education is. Well, concrete knowledge is superior to abstract knowledge. And guess what; concrete knowledge can be acquired through either formal or informal education. In fact the surest means to acquire concrete knowledge is through informal education backed with self and continuous education (reading, research and innovation)... reading, researching and innovation are not alien to any humanrace, because before the arrival of the whites, our forefathers had known education in their own cultural way. However in this world of globalization, a quality basic westernized academic pattern is necessary; at least up to primary level, this is necessary for easy global integration of the individual. Quality matters a lot in anything. Meanwhile, when people talk about how rosy life was for the graduates of the yester-decades I laugh, because most of them in my boyhood enclave has at most 504 or 505 Peugeot cars and squared 5 bedroom bungalows as their biggest lifetime material achievements!
