Nigerians both outside and inside are lazy. What have they done for Nigeria ? Nothing, they keep blaming the government. what a group of losers

no doubt we are not lazy physically but intellectually, which is not only in nigeria but most black countries aswell,
i totally agree that our students is surly depending on what to get after graduate but not what to make out! in all you cant blame the government neigther the student instead its a collective contribution of both but i still think that govt have a greater role to play.

after they succeeded in ruining the system, they now begin to subject our future leaders to ridicle, what a shame!

If birth control could be possible, why won't they do graduate control.

Doesn't one need education to gain the entrepreneurial skills she's talking about? The education system in Nigeria is a joke! She's blaming the wrong people. Nigerian graduates are product of Nigeria failed education so the education they received should be blamed because it failed to give them entrepreneurial skills.

current leadership are not the course of Nigerian education problems we should only suggest to them the way forward.

i think u meant "CAUSE" not COURSE. Sorry couldn't help but to point it out!

i dont get it, d modern world sees a large turn out of educated graduates from Naija as one of our nation's major ASSETS, yet our honorable education minister refers to them as LIABILITIES. Is she really educated? what a dumbass

whats her background?
professor in islamic studies?

I have always known the woman to be s*tupid.Has she not been in civil service all her life?Let her tell us how she has been an entreprenuer.

Wow! Some ppl are just naive. Nigerian graduates are useless? They have no entreprenual skills? They are lazy? What a load of rubbish! Aren't most of you guys graduates too? How many of you have created something worthwhile in life? There are loads of unemployed graduates all over the world and they are never useless to their countries. They are GREAT ASSETS and not a burden. Nigerian elders go dey shout 'be an entrepreneur' this, 'be creative' that, 'take risk' this, 'don't just complain' that. There are a lot of graduates cum entrepreneurs who are in debts after their 'risk taking' in Nigeria (a country where facilities sh!t)! Why do you think that some unemployed people resort to yahoo yahoo+419? After a few years of 'hammering', they tell you to your face that they are entrepreneurs looking for business to invest into! The woman wey talk self na dumbbaby. That's surely a tongue in cheek comment. Would she have her present job without her connections even though she's a graduate? What about her country's mind boggling federal representation scheme which renders meritrocracy redundant? But can we really blame her in a country where the churches and mosques pray and fast for corrupt people every day and night. Una go just dey misyarn because you easy access to the internet!

SMVNEH @topic and the minister. (shaking my very Nigerian educated head)!

The big question is did we have prof/lect with real work experience? most of the lecturers dont even know what they are doing, they keep on reading the old stuffs to students.

Now some of us wants to concur with wat dis woman has said. Have you all forgoten that its the responsibility of the government to create an enabling environment for both investors and any creative mind that intends to venture into any enterprise. When the govt has failed in providing security within its borders, hw do existing and intending investors thrive? When the govt has failed in providin power and other basic infrastructures, hw do we sustain and expand business with hte least cost? Thesame useless leaders who are attacking graduates are thesame persons that have been responsible in adoptin useless curricula 4 our education system. Dey sold and privatisd our vital public companies for their own selfish gains, wit the intention of boostin their own private companies. Well, lets see how the future plays out. Now they move wit so much security aides n all, soon dia wil be a revolution, n den their aides can no longer protect them because evn the children of these aides will also march the streets of our nation. Dey've increased d minimum wage 2 anoda peanut, n we r all hapi. I wonda wen our papaers will start publishing be take home package of deze criminals. I don tire abeg, lets strt a revolution jor. See how d ex militants are now flying abroad 4 trainin evryday, courtesy of d fedral govt. WE ARE THE FUTURE, AND OUR TIME IS NOW!!! who are attacking graduates are thesame persons that have been responsible in adoptin useless curricula 4 our education system.

rubbish

God will punish her generation for making such erroneous statement. Our leaders are d burden we face in Nigerian. Stupid woman!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sincerely,i don't know who appointed this woman to insult and downgrade Nigerian graduates.Anyway,i don't blame her,maybe her children didn't school here and she is just too extra comfortable to know what graduates face out there to call them a burden to the society.May God have mercy on her,because if the whole Nigerian graduates should raise one voice and swear for her!!!God knows, How would you refer to literate human beings as BURDENS!

Tell me what you have done in your life that qualifies you to call other Nigerians lazy people. You may do us good by telling us what qualify us as lazy. I guess you are one of those Nigerian that was taken out of the country at a very young age. You don’t actually know what you are talking about, I pray to God to forgive you.

Point of Correction: Nigerian Political Appointees (with their consumption of 75% of recurrent expenditure) are a burden to the society.

SO TRUE!, CO-SIGN!!!,

These guys spead up to 70% of the Fiscal outlay on their Salaries, Expenses, Benefits and capital Projects that go into their pockets and they have the nerve to say that the Graduates of Nigeria are a burden on the Nation and
Economy, These guys are Parasites & Leeches in the Highest Order and so
are the children and Benfactories that are also posters on Nairaland!!!

Burden ke? Ur lucky u found some corrupt taut of a supervisor! That sold u PHD and pave way for ur half baked professorship! Na wa o! C this almajeree migrant from chad! Ur very lucky I am not a member of boko haram! People like u are better of in afganistan where talibans! Take k of stubborn daughters of eve!

Thank God for all those who support that stupid woman! U re all a burden to the nigerian society so long as u too are products of the failed system! Cramming or no cramming u need a memory of some event in ur brains, otherwise una wey lucky to get job and still d make noise, for no sabi ur boss name for morning when u lucky to wake! Mumu them!

it quite unfortunate dat other countries are thriving 2 improve der educational system while our minister is busy blaming graduates who are product of a corrupt system .where is d principle of social contract.check d number of companies folding up yearly.d economic environment in Nig is too harsh 4 even d best brain in d US 2 succeed,dat's why dey dn't invest in dis country.

Greatest nigerian student, abeg make we all put heads together ooo. First nd foremost dat minister of edutn she's a Bastard, a nit-wit. Gbam. See the useless government training the millitants, i be delta boy, millitancy no go stop unless they train all of us. 9ija stdnt make we self form millitant na mayb dem go hear our cry then. Bt 1st mak we kidnap that useless woman children make she no as e dey b for body

Even if the masses of jobless graduates had entrepreneurial skills, where do they get the investment / funds to push their business forward
GEJ need to start employing better / more caring peops as ministers. Obviously, this ladies kids are abroad or in private uni's else she has placed them in top gov. roles and then opens her mouth to reign insults on the not-so-lucky average nigerian graduates.

Nigerians rank high amongst most innovative in the world: I don't know what this stupid minister is talking about:
