The world around us is
constantly changing. New
patterns emerge and replace
older ones which are rendered
obsolete. Let’s have a look at
some of Nigerian professions
that are about to become
extinct.
1. Postman: Just a while ago,
post offices used to be
overcrowded. Today, more and
more people prefer to use social
media and e-mail services to send
their messages and communicate.
2. Cashier: Just a handful of
electronic terminals can replace
most human-operated services in,
for instance, banks. Only the need
of human interaction and constant
explanation are holding us back.The Nigerian3. Engineering:
government now prefers to grant
engineering contracts to
foreigners. Most of them are from
Korea or China. Those Nigerians
who studied engineering might
soon find it difficult to find a job.
4. Paper newspapers: Less and
less people buy printed
newspapers now. For the most
part, theses people are elderly
persons who are not internet-
literate, while the youths prefer to
surf the web.
5. Watch repairing: A lot of
people have stopped using
wristwatches. Instead, they prefer
to check the time on their mobile
phones. Thus, the business of
watch repair gradually becomes
unpopular.
6. Call centers: Many Nigerians
today have at least one mobile
phone, and some network
providers offer cheaper services.
There is no need to employ
services of a call center to make a
call.The situation is
7. Cyber café:
similar to the one with call canters.
More and more Nigerians own
PCs, laptops, and printers – why
paying extra money?
8. Okada riders: Riding
motorcycles is forbidden in Lagos,
with many states considering the
possibility to do the same.
9. Farmers: Nigerian youths don’t
want to become farmers,
preferring white-collar jobs now.
Soon, we will have to employ
labourers from Niger, Togo, and
Mozambique to work for us in our
farms.
