People are going to school to get degree and all form of aquirement because of money,not passion,it is not to make a difference in the society the nigerian parent have sang it to their children that it the only way to financial success,the president is telling the obvious that it isn't people should change the mentatity.that as being passed on to them it is wrong,if graduate keep seeing it as an el dorado they will keep getting frustrated and no wonder most are discontent with their pay even if it a reasonable sum.those that are bitter about his statement are those that see it as d real deal. |

famouscargo4u: This one is just typing trash. Comparing the UK and US with Nigeria is a slap of the faces of Trump and Queen Elizabeth. People can live a normal life, afford basic amenities, afford housing, food and at least a car in those countries without any degree. But in Nigeria, with a degree, and without any degree, poverty is the leader of the citizens. People don't struggle much to afford ordinary food in UK and US. But in this useless country, to afford morning food is hell. Nigeria is a disaster. I curse Nigeria everyday. If you pray for the country, it won't work. Why? Because it is a country governed by devils. 1 Like |

BluntBoy: Beggars in the UK and US has hope. ALL Americans can afford food. Their case is like that of a child who has #100 but to that child, its small and term it poverty. While there are other children who will see #10 and jubilate and call themselves bigboys. Almost all Americans can afford iPhone, but in Nigeria, only our celebs and those involve in frauds can afford it. How many legit citizens can afford Benz in Nigeria? In America, its a normal car to them. How many youths can afford a laptop and confidently go out to do legit business with it in Nigeria? But in the US and UK, young lads go to parks and public places with free internet access to connect to do business. See let's stop deceiving ourselves. Nigeria is in a mess, people are suffering. Some people have no hope of today's meal. 5 Likes 3 Shares |

Water101:The reason why people are doing it for the money is because, thanks to the government, passion leads you nowhere. By not creating platforms/jobs where talent and skills can flourish, develop and be profitable, people have lost the incentive to develop many academic skill for the sake of it and are now seeking the money. Why would I want to go through the immense stress of learning physics or engineering to the highest level for the sake of it when I would likely end up teaching in a secondary school or in a bank? I could just get a first degree alone and achieve either and have time to make money instead of studying the advanced level courses. Where is the incentive? The reason why youths don't take education seriously but take entertainment seriously is because of the incentive of making it big with a few hit songs. For education, the lack of platforms/jobs makes the education virtually irrelevant. 1 Like |

Try and be a screen writer in Nigeria and see wat will become of u. Nigeria graduates are not saying dey want to become instant millionaire after graduation... Government should please provide basic amenities for them to survive..I hv never had light for almost 2 weeks now and I spend N1000 on fuel alone...imagine if I was using it to run a business..how will I survive?.

Judging by the position he occupies today, you'll completely agree with him why he didn't bother himself to acquire any certificates in the first place. Being a politician in Nigeria, is the only guaranteed meal ticket you can get. |

justman911:I finished from a state university very medicine school if I can say so myself. But I know what I had to do to get employers to look beyond my school. Sometimes what school teaches you is one thing, what you decide to do with your life and how you decide to get there is another. My medicore school taught me I wasn't learning jack and I made up my mind to also school myself get relevant skills and I thank God it paid off. We all know the Education system in Nigeria is below par, it's a song we've been singing since but we should not allow the state of the nation limit us. I know it's hopeless sometimes but it's very possible because you see our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We the youths should strive to develop ourselves Bleep the government they don't care about us it's only then that our voices can be heard. |

baqina:Maybe you didn't get my point. My point is, having a degree without knowledge is nothing. Education doesn't bring money but application of the knowledge you have acquired from your chosen profession gives you the edge. I made a reference to someone who studied computer science but can't handle anything related to computer programs how will he make something out of his degree?? That said the job is on the government to overhaul our curriculum and its no news that we have a docile GOVERNEMNT and if we don't push them nothing will happen, Jr's high time we all start agitating for a total change of curriculum and introduction of new courses that has a bearing in this 21st century |

Kindly tell Nigerian parents that. Not everyone with a degree is employable, and not everyone who has no formal education is destined for a life of unemployment. We need to focus on vocational training as well as it cannot be a nation of engineers, lawyers and doctors surely. We all have meet doctors who have no business being medics and lawyers who could not even defend a fly on poo. |

StevenOba:The sad part of it is that, even those that developed themselves ended up being shortchanged. A university degree is enough guarantee of good life in Nigeria if you have connections. Except you're exceptionally talented, you won't get anywhere without knowing someone in Nigeria. Those that learned one skill or the other, how are they faring? Most of them are being paid peanuts compared to their counterparts in other countries. I left my former employer when I realized our colleagues in other countries are earning almost ten times our pay in Nigeria for doing the same thing. The country is messed up beyond repair, I had to leave. Smart people should do the same. Nigeria will not move forward unless she starts to reward excellence. |
