Nigerians will keep running to UK universities thinking that it will guarantee them job only to be disappointed after spending millions of Naira.

UK universities are somehow a scam to me. No benefit, once you are done, they ask you to leave yet thousands of Nigeria's wealthy will be falling over themselves to go and study for nothing, just to be abroad.

It is those that sell all their properties or use all their savings that I pity most. I respect the Chinese lady for this act of bravely.

That’s not true.

You don’t criticise what you know nothing about. The problem is not with the schools or degrees. It’s with the shallow thinking that a visa to study in the UK is a passport to get a job and settle down.

Even in Nigeria - there are no jobs. Let alone another man’s country. Time and chance happeneth to all things: that’s what the bible says.

Lol. Nigeria needs this kind of suit, but it wont fly. If u read closely, she didn't win any suit. The University in their own conscience decided to defray her costs and compensate her. It's landmark! Can never happen in Nigeria.

The problem is not with the UK or all her schools. The issue lies with going to schools that are not in the top 15 in the UK whereas there are more affordable places to study where the institutions are highly ranked coupled with favourable immigration policies. Besides, the belief that by bagging a postgraduate degree in the UK entitles one to work after studies is misplaced.

The problem here is that we in africa generally mis-apply education, thats why we see some degrees as useless. I will forever respect the nordic countries like norway and sweden for the way they perfectly apply education into the real world and even bring out profitable results out of that. You will see them studying courses like masters in arctic climate, arctic climate technologies, oceanography, fisheries, forestry etc courses that we will normally consider worthless here. The difference is that they embark on studies into their arctic regions, go deep into their forests or icy seas with modern research tools, take their time to trully study how nature works in those environments and you see them discovering new things like the sea creature that emits something stronger than superglue, etc and they make serious money from those researches. What stops us from having degrees in desert technologies, tropical forestry etc some good things will actually come out of it if we take it very serious

Don't mind that joker. He doesn't know anything. Aquaculture and fisheries are courses that can make a graduate become self-employed for life. Having a fish farm and consulting for fishing companies, can fetch cool cash.

Jude4Jesus:

Don't mind that mumu. Even those who didn't study the course, but decided to dabble into fisheries business, end up making money.

I wonder why one will go for such courses in a country like Nigeria. Studying agriculture is far better.
Me that ran away from unical after they gave me physics as course!
God forbid. Who wants to be repairing worn out sockets and wires in people's homes?
I don't even want to be Einstein.

Everything is relative.
Am looking at the potentials in the course for a country like Nigeria.
In fact, going by ur submission I can also add engineering to the list.
To me, one of the best courses to study is anything related to business. It's so much ideas driven.
