Philosophy

No wonder Nigerians are majorly fools.
Philosophy was once the only subject that was as medicine, law, economics, sociology and the rest was studied under it. Do you stop for a second to imagine why there is philosophy of almost anything?

You ask which public and which estate? So you want to ban a course you know nothing about!
You want to ban academic courses offered in Universities the WORLD over such as International Relations (read here on Nairaland how most posters have no idea how governments or the world works to be convinced of the value of this course).
You reject the sciences?
And what do we replace them with?
Concrete Finishing (Plastering, Screading, Painting, Tiles)?? NO University anywhere in the world does this. It may be in some technical college or even better as an apprenticeship with on the job training. Naija would be the laughing stock of the world if it did this (not that anyone could be so stupid as to really do it).

Ah, but you are exaggerating to illustrate a point!

Just remember that many here read these silly examples and take them literally!

If these courses were so useless why has the developed world been offering them in its Universities for centuries.

If you follow a PROPER educational system with appropriate mix of academic and non academic courses in Universities and Technical colleges etc you WILL progress.

Remove Insurance from that list. Insurance is a very big sector on it own. They also have a professional body.

Talking trash about scrapping some courses
Each course with its relevance regardless of what you think about it...
Do you think estate management is about estate,am sure you're so ignorant that you need to take a Bsc or Nd in all those courses before thinking of scrapping them...
