OP, you think education is what makes a business successful? ..there is no standard or assurance that your level of education will take your business to lofty heights, what you only need to succeed in any business is focus and flexibility with ideas So, this write up is a big fallacy to me and its borne out of a converse Generalization. I have seen educated people that are successful business wise. OP, wait a sec, what do you think most uneducated people will venture into if not for business.. so there is a high number of non-educated fellow going into business and Dats why it's more pronounced compared to educated fellows that have a wide array of opportunities to them. Starting up a business is not a priority, when you are educated Everybody can't be business oriented... 1 Like |

bughead: Don't look at it that way. Education is important. It's certification that's a scam. Ordinary, in organised societies, you do not need a Master's degree if you're not interested in pursuing career in academics. Today, unemployment is making people to go for 2nd degrees they do not have need of. 3 Likes |

Only in Nigeria a business administration department, with business professors, business lecturer and Business students of a top university CAN NOT innovate and start a profitable business that would employ 1 soul. And they say we should diversify... It should start from schools. |

Most Nigerian students cannot even write their final year projects themselves after four years, you think they know jack about their courses of study?[/quote Someone had already given a succinct and apt response to this overflogged debate.....To ease your stress of scrolling up, he said the assertion holds water because we live in a third world country where human needs are basic...food, drinks, transportation etc. . What you just did up there is fallacy of composition, in Canada what gives you more money is the menial work you guys do in naija...plumbing, welding, electrician (informal education) etc but to get better pay you have to get several certificates to back it up (formal education) . In complex and develop societies education ain't scam as you presumed. |

The major key to success in business or indeed any other endeavour in life is FOCUS. The reason a businessman would be successful is because he focuses on one thing only, business. He has burnt every other bridge behind him and has no other place to go. The formally educated might never take the kind of risks the informally educated business person would because his pysche still regards that certificate as an insurance. Such a person would have the mindset of 'If business doesnt bloom, i can always do a masters, do a PhD, i can always diverify' E.t.c, a lack of focus. Lets talk about music business, why are the likes of wizkid, Olamide, iceprince, tuface, dbanj successful as informally educated people? they dont have the ego associated with 'graduates'. Oh i cant do this on stage, oh i cant do that. They focus on one thing and one thing only till they are successful at it. Likewise is every kind of business, you FOCUS ON ONE THING AND ONE THING ONLY TILL YOU ARE SUCCESSFUL AT IT. 4 Likes |

Gwan2: We are not saying Education is a scam. Rather am saying. Nigeria Education system is a scam. it need reforms.. Do a simple survey... pick 5 undergraduate students you know this holiday that are in their 3rs and 4th year, ask them this question... "Have your school been able to impart (their respective course) into you? Their answer No... Nigeria University are all "DEGREE MILLS", You are there for just certificate, not to learn.

JohnspeakU: Graduates hates to make mistakes because of their conditioned reasoning in school that if you fail you are s failure but in reality especially business you will make mistakes learn from the mistake and grow better. Graduates have entitlement mentality they believe that government and rich people should solve their problems. They don't think in terms of creating jobs University education is truly a scam because it creates dependent needy people who will work for the rich. That's why d Rockefeller JP Morgan Ford sponsored it so they can create employee for them. Why is it that most great men were school dropout 1 Like |
