Jobs/Vacancies › Re: Togolese Are Taking Away Our Jobs By Azuka Onwuka by bamasite2: 9:28am On Jun 25, 2019*. Modified: 9:44am On Jun 25, 2019 |
maka why? But this is a fact and the reason is obviously stated in the article. This is a very timely post. God bless the op. Omooba77: THE FACT The summary is that Nigerian artisans are not well trained. Most of those who work as craftsmen learn by working under someone and watching the person. There is no specified length of period for this apprenticeship. It can be one year or two years or more. It can even be as short as three months. An apprentice can fall out with the master and leave to start his own practice. What he needs is someone to give him something to do. There are no standards.
Unlike in most West African countries, where there are functional technical schools for the training of young people in different skills, there are no functional technical institutes owned by Nigeria. The ones that exist have become mere certificate-awarding institutions. There is more emphasis on the theoretical aspect of the work than on the practical aspect. That is why one would graduate from XYZ Technical School or XYZ College of Technology or XYZ Institute of Technology without acquiring any skills in any field. The few functional institutes are owned by individuals or private organisations.
It is, therefore, regrettable that in a country that is facing outrageously high rate of poverty caused by high unemployment rate, citizens of neighbouring countries are coming in and taking away the few available jobs. And fellow Nigerians are not bothered about giving these jobs away because they are more concerned with the quality of the work done for them than with the patriotism of patronising their compatriots. Nobody can blame them for that. Nobody will willingly board an aeroplane that is flown by a mediocre pilot or allow himself to be operated upon by a mediocre surgeon because of patriotism.
No matter how hard things become in Nigeria, people will live in houses, drive cars and motorcycles, wear clothes and shoes, use phones and laptops. These houses need to be built by human beings — the construction of these houses will involve masonry or bricklaying, carpentry or upholstery, roofing, fixing of doors and windows, tiling, plumbing, and painting. People who spend money building these houses will like to get their money’s worth.
Although there are ready-made clothes, many people still want to have their clothes sewn to their taste, design and preferred style. They need creative designers and tailors who pay attention to details. Cars, phones and computers will have to be serviced and repaired. The owners do not want these possessions to be destroyed in the name of repairing them. And when they are satisfied, they stick to the person they know and also recommend the person to members of their families and friends.
THE SOLUTION The federal and state governments should not just fold their arms and pretend as if this is not a problem. The emphasis on the acquisition of degrees has not helped Nigeria in anyway. There is a need to pay serious attention to technical education and create clear standards and certification for artisans in all sectors. That will help to boost the skills of Nigerians in that segment of the economy. It will also equip our youths with the capacity to create jobs rather than looking for jobs.
There are millions of jobs available in these fields. But those who want to take advantage of them must be properly trained; they must pay attention to detail; they must be patient and humble; they must be honest; and they must treat their jobs with seriousness. If that does not happen, our better trained West African neighbours will continue to take away jobs that should be ours, even in our own country.

Foreign Affairs › Will Iran And US Go To War? Iran Shoots Down American Drone by bamasite2(op): 9:08pm On Jun 20, 2019 |
This is a very serious issue. So Iran has shot down an American drone which was on surveillance mission. It did not end there, but they also proclaimed that as a warning to the USA. They said they are ready for war! But do you think the USA and Iran will go to war?That however is not the most important question to me. The most important question to me is WAS THE DRONE ACTUALLY VIOLATING IRAN'S AIR SPACE This is because every country has a right to protect it's air space, unless you are a shit hole!!! |
