7Alexander: Hello, Apologies for calling you out, but I keep seeing statements like yours all over the place pretending to Know what mechanical engineering is all about. If you dont know, Mechanical Engineering is very different from what auto technicians do. Automobile Engineering is a small aspect of Mechanical Engineering, The Fact that someone graduates college as a Mechanical Engineer does not mean that person has any special Knowledge about automobiles. There are way more interesting specialties under Mechanical Engineering. Mechanical Engineers are different from Mechanics, who are mostly taken to be people who tinker with machines, not necessarily automobiles. So please stop spewing ignorance in attempting to seem informed on what Professionals should Know how to do. ThanKs 2 Likes |

There is no point one will attain that he is educated, education is continues process that involve all aspect of life, Ones view and approaches towards things differs n determine ones level of education. since u can not know everything but ready to learn new things gives u an opportunity to tag ursef as someone who is well informed. |

So, to answer the question at hand, you have to first of all understand that education in itself is an unending process, i.e a continium, so anyone without the ability to learn, unlearn, and relearn can not be truly educated. Therefore, when one has acquired the fundamental learning skills, a good appetite for true knowledge, information and, understanding, the ability to inspire and impart information to help others effectively, and to use one's education to improve oneself and others, then at this point it can then be rightly said that one is educated.[/quote] You can't explain it more than this, you really made a point here. Not until we start seeing acquiring education out of the four walls of a school structure, the quest for knowledge won't grow. The formality of it makes it boring, but it remain necessary. |

In my opinion, an educated person is someone who has undergone formal education to a certain level such that he/she can apply what he has learnt to solve real life problems. That can think creatively bring new ideas and impact positively. 1 Like |

7Alexander: Nice points. But I beg to disagree that the conventional education is overrated in this nation. Only a minimal percent of student(mostly in tertiary school) obtain loan to settle their school fees but over there in the west, it's the norm for students to obtain loan to pay school fees which might take them a lifetime to pay. I believe this point alone nolifies the notion that the convention education is overrated in Nigeria. What actually makes education seem overrated over here is that fact that aspiring graduates et jobless graduates fails to think beyond the scope of their degree, they fail to inculcate the entrepreneurial mindset. They'll rather blame GEJ/Sarkaki rather than acquire a skill that'll make them stand out, a skill that'll bring something reasonable to the table even in the midst of unemployment. 1 Like |

Thank you for this particular topic,most time people tend to look at education from the western perspective I.e primary,secondary and tertiary education,meanwhile this aspect is fast fading but not loosing its glory!! So many influential people had to drop out to face their true calling,in my own opinion one should rather look inward and discover him or herself very early in life in order to achieve success,some will say money is not success I agree but whatever gives you fulfilment as a person I consider that as success,the likes of lionel messi,christiano Ronaldo,Neyma I don't think these guys learn how to play football in a classroom,Neither do Bill gates develop his microsoft conglomerate within a university wall,this particular decision of education also has to do with parents,once you observe your Son or Daughter is talented in a field encourage the lad in any way you can and you will see that the sky will be the starting point. 1 Like |

When you realize that Buhari is not fit to be President of his village not to speak of a federal republic then you can claim to be 'educated'. To answer the question directly. It sounds as though your cousin (OP) has practical knowledge, he can communicate effectively, which is the most important trait in business. Whether he has SSCE or not does not matter if he can provide for himself. There's many an unemployed university graduate, not just in Nigeria but globally. Equally there are people who went to trade school or taught themselves in a trade who have since found a comfortable living. Which would you prefer? 1 Like |

The best EDUCATION in life is watching the masters at work....Micheal Jackson You get educated when you learn that something is impossible and against all odds you make it possible...... All what the school teaches today are all made or done by those who are never students but devote there time, energy and resources to make it work which are what we are learning today in school...Example 1 Micheal Faraday is just a laboratory assistant that is a mere servant when He worked on Electrolysis that was used to conduct current and was adjudged world acclaimed scientist.. Bill Gates is a dropout but today he produces what even the school itself uses to teach people ie computer...etc Conclusion: The point you become educated is the point you create something from nothing and make the environment benefits from it to the extent they want to learn from You..... |

One can be EDUCATED through formal or informal acquistion of knowledge. Anybody is prone to new thing by what he see's, hear or work on to become a pro. Talkin' about Exprience here, we feed in knowledge as information obtained and produce a better output base on what we feed in.. So talkin' about what point one could be said to be educated, IS A POINT IN TIME WHERE ONE IS JUDGED BASE ON WHAT HE IS ABLE TO PRODUCE INTELLECTUALLY.. CHYMZZY WAS HERE. |

By reading the headline alone I will say, one can be said to be educated when....he or she believes there is a bigger underlying problem plaguing this nation apart from corruption, the owners of Nigeria so desperately want covered up so they throw bones of confusion into governance and watching the hungry masses yapping. |
