What Is The Hope Of Geographers In Nigeria? by tblackE61(m): 8:27am On Aug 01, 2013
my fellow nairalanders gud day!! Pls i need some one to tell me the hope of geographers here in nigeria, many pple have seen any body who study geography as a future teacher which shuldnt be so. Geography ia a very wide subject which comprises all other course in the university!! Bt still yet peoplle rate other course like banking and finance, acctin and so than geography!! Why is this so? Is it dat geography as a course in nigeria is goi into extinction? Go into any universities in nigeria now u will see that the no of students studying geography as fallen drastically!! Pls why is this so? Am tellin you with high level of confidence that terrorism can in nigeria can only be stop by geographers and ict specialist, prove me wrong if you think its a lie. Geographers in the house pls i need answers!!

Nice topic.
I'll need the HR personnel in the house to help out on this.
Geography should not be limited to teaching and military. There are many branches of geography which is of uttermost importance to any nation seeking developmental advancement e.g. Industrial, Human, Physical, Regional, Economic, Cartography, Developmental and many more branches of Geography. I guess the reason why we're looked down on is because the course seems to fully explain the quote: ''Jack of All, Master of None''.
*I studied Geography and Meteorology... Hmmm, thank God for the Meteorology in mine. Presently a serving 2012 Batch C corp member.
*We're the SPATIAL entity.

Life's been good. I'm not practicing though. I found a totally different new career.

I never wasted a second after NYSC waiting for non-existent jobs in Meteorology or to be a secondary school geography teacher.
