Senator Maeba, served in the Red Chamber from 2003 to 2011, and was the Chairman of the Senate Committee on Petroleum Resources (Upstream).He was also a former Rivers State governorship aspirant under the Peoples Democratic Party in the 2023 general elections and served as the Rivers PDP Vice Chairman from 2001 to 2003.
tctrills: You are still refusing to understand. I fully get your comment. It was clear enough but completely irrelevant. Again, you have had the opportunity to make useful comment but you seem fixed on defending your past comment. Let's move on, we shouldn't beat this issue to death. It's not worth it.
greenermodels: so all the Yorubas and their chiefs been murdered by Fulani herdsmen are northerners worries? Another murdered chief was on the news a few days ago. Continue crying over the Igbos that have long left the country in their mentality and are therefore best prepared to survive and even thrive in the Tinubulation.
ivandragon: You should learn to read and understand a person's comments so you do not ask condescending questions that get you condescending responses.
You have spoken about socioeconomic conditions impeding industrialization in Nigeria, didn't I make reference to socioeconomic conditions as a problem? Or don't the bricklayers and iron benders exist within the socioeconomic conditions you just listed?
lexy2014: that still leaves the questions unanswered.
is asking you the following not research? yes or no
since you have read these educational materials, I dont see anywhere in your comments that shows that you have a very good understanding and knowledge about how society works or is stratified.
can you share what you read in those educational materials?
Chief Dan Nwanyanwu shares encounters with Former President, Muhammadu Buhari on issues relating to the Igbos, advising President Tinubu on same subject.
ceejayluv: You made good points though. I agree that a maintenance supervisor doesn't always require a degree - but to climb the career ladder i.e to Maintenance manager, up to technical Manager/ director, a higher education More often than not would be preferred. It still boils down to lack of industrial exposure.... Fluid Mechanics, for example has great applications in aerospace, naval, automotive, hydroelectric sectors, etc. So a fresh graduate that "crams" Navier-Stokes applications would ideally have somewhere to gain and contribute practically (especially in R & D and Design ). But that's not the Case here.
Sure, this is really the issue. We need a well structured, professional, reward-centered blue collar sector to attract youths
ivandragon: You think you must work in a structured organisation to be classified as a blue collar worker?
Why are you arguing out of context? I clearly said socioeconomic conditions and the value system undermines technicians in Nigeria, so what's your fixation with nigerian artisans that are billionaires?
In developed countries, you have blue collar workers that became billionaires.
TEYA: blue collar jobs are very important, they are well paid in first world countries, yet they don't talk down on professionals like you ignoramuses do. The London city and guilds is an offshoot of the Royal institute of British architects and engineers' professional body in UK. no one in the developed world will say bricklayers and iron benders are the harbingers of industrialisation like your foolish leaders who you well deserve say.
Good analysis. You need to speak to reward for artisans
tctrills: Funny you don't even understand my comment. So does an economy need blue collar workers? Yes. Is the Nigerian problem a lack of blue collar workers? No. So let's stop wasting time on meaningless arguments and start tackling our real problems.
ceejayluv: I was replying another poster and not the main topic. Besides, I stated that we need more large scale investments like Dangote. The more industrialized we become, the more everyone - trades or graduates - Will find a place to fit in.
The ongoing Africa Military Games 2024 in Abuja has transformed Nigeria’s capital into a vibrant hub of military sportsmanship, showcasing the continent's athletic prowess and unity.
