Obviously, one of the rising challenges facing most African countries is the rate of unemployment. It’s so painful and frustrating that after many sleepless night, years of tedious lectures and examinations. Yet, you end up not getting a job or you get a Job you’d never desired.

But let’s begin from the basics, where did education come from? Education as we all know found its way from Egypt, where they used it in teaching people the principles and the gods of Egypt. Today, the concept of education has been misinterpreted by so many people, especially in this our generation. Where almost everyone thinks education is the only means to survival. Education is not a place of money making, is a medium where minds are changed and enabled for unique innovations.

We have so many graduates coming out of our High Institutions, but very few of these graduates are mind loaded, many are mind drop-out which is more dangerous than school dropout. The reason is because, most of us, our parents induced in us the mentality of only going to school, graduate and get a job. It’s far above that. No wonder such people graduate and become JOB seekers, while they can create one.

Think out of the box. You’ve got talents and bundles of abilities embedded in you to put into display. People who have made remarkable histories and undeniable achievements in life saw the world differently. They saw Education as a medium to sharpen their God given talents. These are men and women that has helped in solving people’s problem, people like John Dell, Warren Buffet, Mark Zuckerberg, Bill Gate, David Oyedepo, Late Myles Mourone , to mention but a few, has solved one problem or the other in the world.

I also had once thought the only reason why I was going to school was to get a degree and get a lucrative Job. But little do I know I had more to offer to my generation. I recently authored a book titled: INNATE ABILITIES. (The Soft Copy would be release soon on amazon). Also the Owner of www.supremegist.com (One of the Fast growing Academics, Entertainment, Celebrities, Fashion, Lifestyle, Sports and lots Gist in Naija). All this my creator has helped me with are not as a result of my Academics Qualifications, but my exposure to life through School.

You better wake up to the realities of today’s world as we have many educated poor people and people with all kind of degrees but still in great degrees of poverty! I’m not against Education, as I’m also a student of Ahmadu Bello University, I actually advise you to study hard! But know that you need to Think differently, think innovative and Think out of the box!!!
