Boxing, football, music. Book is overrated abeg. How many PhD holders get between $15m - $200m in less than 2 hours to punch someone, how many educationalists get paid a contract of £120k/wk to kick a ball around for around 1hr 30mins or less. How many professors can afford to buy a Bugatti Veyron, McLaren, Lamborghini etc anytime they like. Education is just another matrix system to keep the masses in the pockets of the rich, the engine room to help keep the rich getting richer, while they pay you peanuts. This is 2019, education is an option, not the ultimate grin.
While sport people and entertainers are absolute exceptions. Education can be very overrrated. Canada is a very good case study. Canada is more of what you have to offer not how many academic qualifications you have.

If Education is not the key to actualisation please, by all means, what is it then? mind you going to school and having a PhD does not necessarily translate into education! The great scientist of our time never hard any form of PHD so to speak!

on the contrary, German educational system is some how discriminatory and tough especially for those coming from Ox/Cambridge grading system. Germany separates children as early as 10years old into Hauptschule, Realschule and Gynamsium.

Despite free education, Germany has the lowest number of graduates among G8 nations. One in every 3 abandons studies between 1 to 2 years in the University

The bottomline is, German educational sytem makes an average student struggles to pass


It depends on the city you choose to study.

Hmmm...I would think that having the right type of degrees added with its experience should give one a better edge over the one with just experience without education.

Skill and talent it is. And by education, my context was based on certification. In the past, they programmed the society to believe that without certification you can't amount to anything in life. But today, that mold is breaking and not holding water. How many footballers earning tens of millions of pounds per year went to school, let alone have any certification. So certification no longer is the ONLY way to get rich. There are other ways. I'm not saying certification is bad or not necessary. I'm just saying, it's not a do or die affair like they always made us believe. Before, how many parents will want their child to enrol in a football academy? 98% want their children to be doctors, lawyers and engineers. But today, it's not like that. Before, it's mostly poor man's children going into music, but today even the rich kids are trooping into it. So my point is, education is no longer the only SURE way to get rich.

truly, if not for the language barrier, Germany would have been the best to stay out of the 2 countries. Though, Canada is bigger in size, but you cannot compare the technology in Germany to Canada. As for the UK to be compared to Germany, it's like comparing Lagos to Abeokuta. UK cannot even stand side by side with France, not to talk of Germany. If I decided again to relocate to another country, it will definitely be GERMANY.

Deutsch smiley

Well, it depends on the individual involved. German language has level ranging from A1 to C1.

If you are very determined, you can move to A2 within three months at worst.

You still do not get it, do you? the issue of the certificate was the only way was limited to Nigerians and Africans only, this was never the case in the Developed countries of the world. Once again I will steer you to my initial narrative. Talent is what you get as humans, you or someone else needs to discover it, you cant learn it rather you can develop it. Education, on the other hand, is what you must learn you having a certificate or not is another ball game. And let me ask you, do you know the numbers of courses and training footballer undertake

Germany, economic powerhouse of Europe. Well both countries have their pros and cons. for example, Germany doesn't allow dual citizenship whereby Canada allows that and also you can easily get your PR in Canada compared to Germany.

But I still pick Germany.

Hadampson and Germany is just like Mr Bean and his Teddy bear. Unconditional love grin grin grin

Germany allows dual citizenship on certain circumstances. One of such is if it’s difficult to renounce your old citizenship. I hope you’re aware that it’s very difficult to renounce Nigerian citizenship? Many Nigerians here have both Deutsche and Nigerian citizenship.

I'm not into the German language, would you say A2 level will allow you to pass the entrance to do a Diploma equivalent?

Canada is better, because most Nigerian know English. Not many will find speaking German easy
