Have you heard of the word 'going...going...gone!' .The following Jobs may soon come to a complete halt in Nigeria. Just the same way many wildlifes are disappearing from our forests. Here are some of those job that are seriously endangered of extinction. Only time will tell.

1)POST MAILING- Nowadays, people now prefer to send their letters via social media rather than going to the post office. The post office was once known for her overcrowding but that's not the case again nowadays.

2) CASHIER- Machines can easily replace most services rendered by cashiers in banks and other places. Only Human preference and level of illiteracy is holding this back. This will surely be overcame with time.

3) CIVIL ENGINEERING- You know why? The government of our country now prefers to award road/railway/construction contract to foreigners mostly from China and Korea, rather than giving this to engineers in Nigeria. Very soon many Nigerians who studied this course may find it difficult to express their knowledge and ability in this field.

4) JOURNALISM (Newspapers)- Who are those that buy newspapers.? They are mostly old people who as little or no knowledge of the internet. The youths of nowadays simply prefers to view news and happenings on bloggers sites and other websites.

5)FINE ART (Drawing)- there are some newly developed app for phones/computer that can sketch, design,paint and bring out great artwork. They can change human pics to pencil or cartoon type. This can easily be enlarge and printed out which really save time and money.

6)PHOTOGRAPHY- Since the emergence of camera phones,many photographers now complains that people now prefers to snap pictures with their phones rather coming to them.

7)WRIST- WATCH REPAIRING- Many people nowadays, don't consider going to repair their wrist watches when they got spoilt due to the presence of time on their phones. So if you don't want to die of hunger, better don't risk learning this trade.

VIII) CALL CENTERS: Almost all Nigerians now owns a GSM. Besides. Many telecommunication network service now offers calling rates at cheaper price. With this, i don't see any reason going to call at a call centre.

9)CYBER CAFE/BUSINESS CENTRES: Just like GSM. Very soon many Nigerians would soon be a proud owner of their own computers laptops, and printers. When this happens so many of them would prefer to carry out their transaction online in their homes than to go to a Cafe.

10)OKADA BUSINESS- In state like Lagos, riding motorcycles had been barred in many of their highways. There is still high tendency that other states may still regulate this rule.

11)SECURITY GUARDS- There are various machines and robots that can equally perform this Job. But human preference and the high capital involve is still holding this back.

12) FARMING- Many youths in Nigeria are now running away from farming. They now prefers white collar job. I hope one day,we won't be employing labourers from countries like Togo,mozambique and Niger republic to come and work in our farms for us.

Oga, pastor Adeyemi said so so many years back especially to mechanics. But we still have mechanics everywhere in fact with a strong and enormous union. Abi she na where person dey buy 1.5m wrist watch na him watch repairer no go come chop? If you decide not to use a wrist watch cos you a blackberry passport/iphone whatever, is your wahala which translates to nobodies.
Have you ever followed the voice prompt whenever you call any customer care agent? I know you'll rather press 0 to speak with an agent.
Don't just come here to bambooze us with copy and paste articles without thinking.
God bless.

And please, don't underestimate the value of journalism especially the print media. Do you know how much Mr. obaigbena (this day newspaper) makes in a day?

I disagree on Civil engineering
Though most of the Supervisory role may be occupied by foreigners, almost all Assistant supervisor or foremen roles are handled by Nigerians most of them civil engineers.

For Security guards, I see an increase instead of decrease

Finally, you erroneously equated farmers with labourers, Farming profession has taken a new level in Nigeria.
While unskilled labourers will always be needed not only in farming but construction etc. So as Nigerians are moving from unskilled to semi skilled / skilled hands, there might be need to import labourers but farming as a professional business will be getting more and more appealing especially when GEJ wins next year election

pls, do see my moniker. We that God endowed with IQ like this don't copy and paste. Did this topic ressemble a pasted one. Don't accuse me falsely man. This topic is copyright of me and any other site who wish to copy and paste this must do so with my permission. Or better still should refer to my name on their site. So as to show you i original poster.

spaced booked

Agreed

That's just your view on things. Some, you may be right about while there are others you missed terribly.

3, 4 and 10 will still be in vogue.
Reason:
Civil Engineering is still a little beyond our reach. But our knowledge on this can only improve, so it's only a matter of time before we do more at a lesser cost (home-based).

Whether news is being read on the internet or not, it still has to be put there by someone and it takes a quality person (journalist) to attract quality audience.

Okada being unnecessary in Lagos is almost a pipe dream. The conditions of the road and heavy traffic of the state may even force you to ignore the direct expressways and negotiate side-roads in town to reach your destination.

One way or the other, 12 will find its way back to being prime.

As for Farming,
"Agbisi gbaa otule, otule a muuru ako".. Translation: If soldier ant bite nyash, nyash go sabi something.

And I think you are aware of that these jobs are the major source of survival for many people. Are you going to be feeding them when your wish finally comes true about this post? You shouldn't have make this write up in the first place

Not true for post mailing , the advent of eCommerce will replace those letters with parcels..
Its a plus for them , they only risk going out of the industry if they prove to be inefficient

Hhehehe

you are very correct especially on number 6 & 8

Security guards will remain cos of high level of intruders. Not all will be able to buy CCTV

13.APC- egoats : once their serial looser General looses again, they will all go into extinction as the General will be tool old to contest in 2019

4) JOURNALISM (Newspapers)- Who are those that buy newspapers.? They are mostly old people who as little or no knowledge of the internet. The youths of nowadays simply prefers to view news and happenings on bloggers sites and other websites.

I presume this^^ was written out of ignorance.
Journalism encompasses more than writing for a newspaper.
So, I don't know what you're saying.

What would go extinct is "Journalism" as a course of study not profession.

We lack the will power in this country.... We should invest in technology and industries

Space booked

Some of these jobs would be here till the end of time. This was how someone discouraged me from studying computer science in the university.

Op you are wrong on some o. e.g.
1. Journalism: I can assure you that Newspapers still sell like hot cake. Most Offices have standing orders of newspapers every single day (whether it is read or not), same goes for waiting rooms, hotel lobbies, airplanes, etc. Also, it is young people that visit blogs o, the big shots still buy and read the papers. Lastly, all newspapers have their e-versions, the journalists are definitely not going out of job any time soon trust me.

2. Photography: Are you kidding me??!!!! they will simply upgrade, who do think snaps the photos on magazine covers, billboards, calenders, paparazzi?? Dude, no think that one twice o

3. Security Guards: for wheeere?? them still dey kampe!! Robots ko, machines ni! Just take a look at every bank, embassy, multi-national companies, etc. Infact they double as valets, receptionists and butlers

4. Farming: Op fa fa fa Foul! Farming is becoming the in-thing now. and thats not just crop farming o, now we are getting Bee farming, snail, fish, rabbit, dog, even snake farming sef. Poultry is in a class of its own in popularity. Op just a take a little drive into the country and see things for yourself.

Serious matter!
...but for Photography, I doubt unless u're not a professional!

This land is not for sale. Do nt trespass.....
