Stop blaming life for the lack of creativity on the part of the average Nigerian graduate. Your mates in other countries are busy creating opportunities where there once existed none for them, yet you lot in Nigeria sit back blaming everything and everyone else for your refusal to get off your arses and work something out with what you have there. undecided

Most of those who don't practice actually studied non professional courses. Not all courses are ones with professional license to practice. If you study accounting, you are not yet a Professional until you get ICAN, ANAN etc license to practice.

Some courses are just there like Zoology that you can hardly practice as a zoologist while some are just plain like Business Administration, Marketing etc. Some professional careers with license are not even available for study in universities. Nothing beats being a Professional though.

Entitlement mentality at its best! Life has to bring it to you... and its not for you to go out there and use what you have to get what you want. Dey there! You are well at home among other Nigerians like you there. undecided

2. So because there are poor folks in other parts of the world, it then becomes OK for you to sit back and wallow in poverty in Nigeria? ***sigh***

It is the lack of critical thinking ability for me... it is just absurd and upsetting! undecided

The only question I have for you as you refuse to understand me. Bro why re you not rich yet since you believe in yourself and your creativity mind why we have not see you and your creativity mind on TV as a successful person? Bro life it is what it is if life favor you I swear you won't need any creativity mind whatever you do will succeeded but if life go against you even if you have billion of dollars it will become useless to you and people around you. To be successful in life it required patients and tap from existing success. But your creativity mind is zero without existing success

That is the problem. Life is not about hard working is all about work smart. If hard work pay those aboki digging well water should have become rich by now but hard work doesn't pay. See life own and hold whatever you re looking for. Whatever you are looking for is in the hand of life and you know what life is blind and deaf but it always have gift for everyone that seek it but you should not force her or claim to be wiser just apply wisdom and be patients one day life will give you what you want but struggle with life is very dangerous because life is giant and you can't bear it kick. Life will pay you just use whatever life give you right and don't compare yourself to everyone because life is a giver is also a collector life is like a thief

See this one regurgitating the bullsheet fed to him by his pastors and mogs, this after being caught insisting it is all magically handed to some and not others. So people who work hard are not some of the smartest at the end of the day? undecided

Isn't creativity what smartness is really about at the end of the day? Isn't working hard to ensure you achieve your goal using all means necessary the foundation of success for most? undecided

Nigerians ehn! undecided

What on earth do you mean by professional course, is there a course in the university that isn't for a profession?

School is supposed to be part of the plan of any responsible Govt because it is supposed to be the source of the labour force for the entirety of the economy so that at end of schooling most should be practicing what they spend a chunk of their life learning. No in Nigeria School is just of bunch of buildings, dilapidated, uncompleted and bushes where mostly useless knowledges and half knowledges are thought after which you begin your journey to spiritual cleansing to know whether the knowledge is useful or not

The country doesn't have working departments for you to practice what you studied.

You are also at blame because, despite knowing that the chances of you practicing what you studied is 1%, you still went on to study it. That means, you knew that you weren't going to practice what you studied.

We have panic-buying, there is another one people don't know - [b]panic-schooling
.

It is when a lot of people go to school because they feel like it is their last chance to gain admission.[/b] In the process, they pick what ever course to study, as long as it gives them access to go to college and become a 'graduate'.

Like I did, only to come back 10years after. 😢

I see a lot of write up saying we studied what cannot be used in Nigeria, in between the lines we studied where the lecturers are not practically good ,

Let's take zoology for example in Nigeria a zoologist can end up employing people, if the individual is creative , why do run abroad and want to work there? You think the government actually provides jobs naaaa the individual over there will create a job and make it work, a zoologist can starts to have a shop as an office here and create mini zoos for secondary schools.

Get some African animals that are cage able and design a small zoo for schools, get your phone and audio device make documentary videos , make short clips of small animals, or interesting animals and post on TikTok, YouTube, Facebook etc and monetize it, sell your contents to digital tv stations.

I have seen Chinese people selling houses that a year salary can buy, we have people who graduated as architects in Nigeria yet they are busy looking for a job and a quack that just learn it from the roadsides rides nice car n work as an architect because he goes to building sites to hunt for jobs.
