Apprenticeship is synonymous with igbo and I'm igbo. Do you know better than me?

It's OK anyway.

Just so people stop rubbing mud on the face of this wonderful thing that has brought happiness to the faces of many homes especially in igboland.

Wonder how igbo man would have faired after the civil war if not Apprenticeship.
Respect it please. We respect it a lot.
Even though less people are into it now as before bit we still give respect to whom respect is due.

“School is scam”
Why then is there no cluster of youths learning skills or businesses?




People in business, what has been your experience with apprentices?

GboyegaD:


All I know is in recent times, it is not what it used to be.

descarado:

Now you are talking.
Yes, in recent times everything not only Apprenticeship has changed in Nigeria.
That not withstanding, Apprenticeship still exist and is still uplifting many people.

moneyissweet:
It is simple

Everybody now including the parents and "nwa boy" choro ego mbute.They want to blow today and tomorrow. No one is interested to learn anything again. That is why kidnapping, ritual, prostitution and armed robbery is on the rise.

I think that "nwa boy" thing ended in 1999. What we have in the village now are young kidnappers,weed smokers and cultists.

They all have ak47,some are even begging me to be my personal bodyguard this December. These are young boys of 18,19 .

You are well informed. Your submission is near accurate

Only area left is the role some madams play in all of these.

There are instances were some nwaboys went awol or ran away from ogas house due to the wickedness and overbearing attitudes of their madam, they couldn't endure any longer so they had to pack out secretly and leave their ogas house even without touching or taking a single dime from ogas money.

I'm a witness to an incidence like that just about 2months ago. In this case, it was the 2 umu boy that ran away, the wife literarily pursued them.

The oga was gracious and honest enough to confirm that not even a Kobo of his money was missing

Some ogas are so weak that their wives more or less dictates how things are done in the shop or house, even when it's against their wish.

Their wives are more controlling, domineering, aggressive, insensitive as if they're the ones marrying the man. Sometimes they shout or maltreat umu boy even in the presence of the oga and the mumu man will be there without action or saying anything instead he'll just be looking like a castrated donkey

Sorry if you have issues with comprehension.

Imu ahia still exists. If you go to major markets, you'll still see such practices. The major issue is finishing the program. E dey hard dem to finish

But I think the current dispensation we are in is the major cause of its dearth

Back then, only few cities in Lagos were considered as where one can make it; Lagos, Kano, Onitsha... But now, every place don open. One doesn't need to go that far to learn a trade. People dey serve Oga for Awka and Nnewi sef

Also, we won't rule out the urge to make fast money. Young boys and girls see their counterparts cashing out through fraud, drugs and other stuff. It would take the grace of God to put those thoughts behind and serve for 6 years.

Now is even better. In the future, getting a bit to serve you and finish would be like searching for gold. E go hard

YeyeGbami:
Nwa boy wey him eye don open, na the money wey dey enter him oga akant him dey eye. After learning for some months he go run off, mumu go think say he don sabi.

Go ladipo you will see them, they don’t know jack sh*t they just want to make money.

This is false. There are cases where things dont work out well, but it does it most cases. Nwa boy is what made Anambra State to have the highest number of billionaires in africa

I did boy boy for 8 years in Abuja between 2008 to January 2017
I was given 1m to start business



My good friend I met in the market too after he served his oga for 9 years they chased him out because of 40k they found under his bed



My other guy had issues with his Oga because he bought bag to be putting sales money without telling his Oga



What boys go through in the hands of the so called Oga isn't funny at all especially when your freedom is getting close


After they gave me 1m they still set me up with phone they almost arrested me as God may have it
Phone fell out of my madam clothes

It was a disgraceful thing that day
She did apologize to me

But till today me and her no de talk

Apprenticeship isn't a Nigerian word you know?

Would you consider a prodigious football player as one involved in child labour?

This thread isn’t calling for the old model or apprenticeship. I just wan know why youths no dey gree learn work these days, despite the shorter duration.
