Why should the state sponsor students to go study philosophy outside the shores of the country.... Honestly, I support his views. They should return and continue here instead of wasting government funds on such courses with little or no effects on the Nigerian society. 4 Likes |

Smart move from Wike. The state has limited funds. Let them focus on relevant and tangible courses that would have direct impact. Medicine is important. Engineering - especially Chemical and Petroleum also have direct value. |

He is right. Even in developed societies, most of the scholarships place emphasis on students enrolled in STEM disciplines. How can someone enrol in Philosophy in this new era of technology and expect to be state-sponsored? 3 Likes |

kirajustice: For once, I agree with "Wicked" Wike on this issue. We should stop wasting our scare forex on courses which we have developed competency at home. We should only send people abroad for engineering, ICT, medicine and related courses. Great policy direction from "thugnor" "Wicked " Wike of Rivers State. 1 Like |

RebelChip:This is not the issue. They were sponsored by the state government to undertake those courses on scholarship. If the Rivers State government is withdrawing the scholarship, the students should be so informed. 1 Like |

He is absolutely right though I would not even support medicine. What is needed is practical courses like shoemaking (do you know how many shoes we import in Nigeria every year?), irrigation management, food packaging and technology Welding, deep sea diving ,Air traffic control,carpentry, road construction,rail construction, waste recycling and management, logistic management,courier and parcel distribution,hospital management ,school management that will create jobs and wealth. Akpabio spent billions building a hospital before realizing there is no one to manage it! We are talking of trains.Where are the train drivers,who will repair the trains. We need to focus on skills and jobs not books and exams. We are talking of ranching where is the training? Where is the modern fishing off our coast Ask those in the oil industry what we pay daily for divers and welders from overseas. Or what we pay for Fire and safety management. What is needed is to do an audit of every single foreigner working in this country on a visa and make a list and analysis of their skill sets 3 Likes |

This argument makes no sense at all...Nigerian Universities offer medicine and engineering courses as well and these courses have not provided any direct value to our present economic conditions considering the excess talents and limited job opportunities (supply exceeding demand) in Nigeria. We must maximize the potentials of other courses to solve this problem. As usual, Nigeria is still struggling to grasp the potentials of the creative industry and how to commercialize it. That's why we make these stupid arguments. Lastly, it should be noted that philosophy gave birth to science and every solution started from a philosophical point of view. If these courses are irrelevant, the white men who we revere so much would have scrapped them by now. Social retrogression is the problem of Africa. 2 Likes |

Bunmiaji: Bitcoin value will definately drop and become stable at one point, just like the dot com bubble, where you around during that time? A little history lesson for you then. When the internet first became a thing, people where creating all sorts of website (eg. Google.com, myspace.com, etc) and buying shares in them, similar to what we have today when people create new crypto currency like Chainlink, Ripple, Litecoin, Bitcoin. The value rose but there was a crash and only the top guys remained, like Google, Microsoft, Facebook, Amazon, Ebay, etc, if you had invested in those websites and bought shares, today you will be a millionare in USD. Cryptocurrency is also like that, there will be a crash, but bitcoin will still be standing in the ruins. So keep crying me a river, i'll bath in your tears when i get a jaccuzzi. 3 Likes |

That will be very foolish and wicked of you sir, and not being abusive. So all the other students who don't study science should go and jump inside the lagoon, including you own children who are not studying science. Honestly most of you leaders in Africa and Nigeria in particular are destroyers and never leaders. Doesn't the wealth of the nation belongs to all. Does it belong only to science students. This is how most of you wickedly think that the wealth of the nation belongs only to you leaders and will be looting it, because you are and criminals and very wicked. How long can Nigeria stand with these crop of leaders? In my days all students were given free education. If the money the state has is not enough for all the students, then give them each what the state can afford, that of a science student should be a little more because it is more expensive to study science courses than most of the other courses. Or may be I am wrong, maybe it is your personal money you wasted to give to students taking the course you like personally. But if not I wander why these are the kinds of leaders Nigeria do have. But Nigerians do have wicked and corrupt leaders because almost all of us ourselves are very wicked and corrupt |

Wike just confirmed he needs more briefing! I'm reading a book on anthropology..... "The Humanization of Man" by Ashley Montagu. The book should be reprinted for every Nigerian! I wonder if the author will get any grant of any sort here in Africa but the man is on fire! 1962 publication that is very much relevant to out challenges today. Imagine repatriating scholars for not being science inclined. Not a smart move oga Wike. Same medical guys that you won't allow to treat you when they come back cos like Buhari and other elite, you guys prefer foreigners to treat you. Same Engineers that will be overlooked for technicians all in the name of expatriates. Haba bros 2 Likes |

I can understand the his perspective on this issue because to make sense of what he said like in Aamerica, I will notice that most taxi drivers are Nigerians/Africans who are graduates and some have master degree in social science courses like accounting, finance ans banking, literature at American universities. In realiry, it is simply harder 4 Africans to get jobs when they do those courses that are not science related, so In the end it becomes a waste of financial resources to study other courses that is not science related overseas. Adenuga himself who was a taxi driver in Net York will tell you about this issue |
