Yea you just hustle and leave government jobs for politician and their kids. Deceivers everywhere. My own is that we should stop all these connection connection thing and give everyone a level playing ground to compete for the scarce jobs. Let the politician son write aptitude test and go through interview and be taken based on merit. 4 Likes |

Nice topic, we need to learn more skill, we have not developed our professional sector, science, finance etc to absorb all these paper graduates...we need more skills aquisition centres, and government so clueless is busy building universities, when they are no jobs to absorb them into. 1 Like |

poiunt: Every course is relevant, that is why the University went through several years of research before setting up a department or a course. The problem is Nigeria. Social Work is a very very lucrative course, however, it doesn't ring a bell in Nigeria. Does that make it irrelevant Absolutely not. Same way most of the engineering courses are useless in Nigeria due to lack of practical experience. Does that make it irrelevant No.... Nigeria is a different kind of society. 7 Likes |

Kingcalls: It takes a great mind and exposure to be a tech entrepreneur. Most of this boy boy you see in Alaba never progress globally. Their business starts and ends there. Thats the difference. Every tech entrepreneurs and business owners i have met in my travels have at least a Bachelors degree, also they are able to source for funding of over 1-2 million dollars effortlessly. I can put my business plans into paper and slides and sale it to an investor in Hong Kong, USA, U.K and be eloquent enough for any investor to want to invest, can you say same for someone in Alaba. I am not against people selling in Alaba, however, thier projections are limited by thier environment. 2 Likes 1 Share |

What's with this new trend of condemning degrees? If you don't want a degree let others get theirs. It opens up your mind to apply knowledge in real life situations. It's not our fault our country is rotten. If your degree doesn't work for you in Nigeria, it's not a surprise. No one gets any thing (including jobs) in Nigeria anymore. Look for another country where it will be useful. Also there's nothing wrong with working for someone else. Not every one is built to be an entrepreneur. I know people who work for a company and earn from 5million upwards per month. They don't have 2 heads. Na degree them get too. Highest masters. In summary do what suits you. Your formula must not work for every one else 3 Likes |

in Nigeria here, people have wrong mindset about earning a degree, as a university degree, I must work in government , bank or multinational companies, how many of such will have? for the little one, how many graduates that can absorb? here in naija, you will see a qualified nurse that is jobless owing to lack of government job, meanwhile you will see auxillary nurse with chemist shop doing well in her private capacity in treating minor cut and sickness. microbiologist, biochemist, food sci technologist, agriculturist, art design, architect, business administrator etc, all these professionals can establish on their own and earn a living to take care of family, as it's obtainable in abroad. |

There is nothing wrong with the course one studies if people faced their priorities. This is s country where people look to the sky while on their knees and pray for manna from heaven. People pay tithes to gods of men who do not build any industries , people so not pay sufficient taxes , how will the private sector be energized enough to provide jobs for everyone when monies are either looted via politics or thrown away by gullible citizens. |

SmartyPants: Lol.... You must be kidding right?? There is a difference between college degrees and a masters degree. Just about 30% of Americans have a Bachelors degree, mind you, the average college student is 26.4 years of age. So tell me why they are not surprised?? I don't think you understand the American Education system. |

Kingcalls: Securing your future with some square shops. You had better leave Nigeria and see the world of young entrepreneurs in different fields and not just tech. Wake up niqqa. How many people does that shop employ in a year? Am talking about young entrepreneurs employing 30 - 70 people with a minimum pay of $2,000 monthly. Wake up buddy. Very soon, E-commerce will take over those businesses completely. |
