Industry will train, you say! Interesting assertion. But we have seen happen over and over again is that rather than train the locals, industries, time and time again, go out to hire already trained minds from foreign countries to come work in Nigerian companies and schools. So what exactly is wrong with the state spending money it has already allocated for training anyways, to help ready its workforce for the jobs these companies have here in Nigeria?

Have you not wondered why "industries, time and time again, go out to hire already trained minds from foreign countries to come work in Nigerian companies and schools"?

And have you asked what those "trained minds from foreign countries" contribute?

The answer to the first question is a lack of proper training in Nigeria indeed. And I don't just mean skilled training. A person trained to believe in the Gods has a different training to one who believes in the sweat of their brow. I'm talking work ethics here.

The answer to the second is industry doesn't hire low skilled labour from abroad. It at best hires at management level. And even most foreign teachers are better trained than Nigeria teachers who are mostly untrained corpers.

And now, to your question, "So what exactly is wrong with the state spending money it has already allocated for training anyways".

I highlight "allocated", because I feel we both know no money is already allocated for training anyway, and even only a fraction of the money mentioned here will end up spent on the intended purpose.

But even if money were allocated for training, what would we spend it training people to do if the jobs they are trained for do not exist?

If I were to answer that, I'd say spend it training teachers, but we'd need to first decide what we want our teachers to teach. And I'd suggest they learn to teach students to use their own minds instead of mindlessly believe.

Oh! My focus is on the kind of training the Nigerian poor need, training which should be removed from the many failed empowerment schemes of the past 25 years which have only served to further impoverish the Nigerian people and enrich their politicians.

The training you refer to is employment based. Like a factory needs workers and trains people. Unfortunately, Nigeria does not have the factories today and so therefore do not need as many workers, which is why government is the largest employer in Nigeria. And we all know government produces nothing.

Industry will train people if it can find a use for them to make profit. It unfortunately can't make profit, so the people are worthless to them, and not worth investing in, sadly.

Government needs to refine its taxes and foreign exchange management to make Nigeria worth investing in. But the rate they are going, they'd likely tax more in the name of internally generated revenue, to fund their excesses, which will further kill off whatever industry there is.

Please watch the following video and then come back and try to attack this problem again. https://www.legit.ng/nigeria/1608774-watching-video-incredibly-emotional-clip-nigerias-rich-economic-history-surfaces/

Nigerians corpers themselves need significant amounts of training to measure up to the standard that is the world today.

The first comment on the video was about oil money, though it mentioned only northerners and not all Nigerians.

When oil boomed in the 70s, it became much cheaper to import than to produce at home, and that just about killed any innovation that would have kept our industries growing. The subsequent bust was the death kneel.

Corpers is like the scheme we are condemning here. It gives money to people in guise of empowering them when it really doesn't. And worst is that it suppresses employment and wages and training, since they can be turned over every year. Up to me, I'd want it scrapped or made more fit for purpose.

It is also that too.
Just take a look at the skills they intend to spend billions of dollars in the year 2024, as part of their so-called empowerment schemes and you can immediately tell that these people are simply looking to create an army of those who are in poverty.

Skills that can't properly be learnt in 8 months, lol.

I'd have prefered if this money went into apprenticeships. Like pay half of it to a mechanic etc to take on an apprentice who is paid the other half. But when I thought of the need to monitor progress, which I doubt would be done, I just sighed.

Better might be to invest it in our education system so corpers are not teachers.

And that is exactly Their Game Plan..
And it is working for them due to the current corrupt systems where the number that goes in are never the same with the number that comes out,, and there are no logical explanations for any possible discrepancies..

..
As for me, I want an election where,, even if it is only 20-people that came out and casted their votes, let it be that the results showed that only those twenty people casted their votes.. And not “MORE THAN TWENTY”..

If there are voided or rejected votes,, let it reflect very well..
But let everything not be MORE THAN THOSE TWENTY PEOPLE who actually voted in real-life..

That will be the only time we will move forward with our elections,, and VOTER-APATHY will just die a natural death on its own.

Democracy is not just voting, but also includes the vigilance that ensures votes count.

We conduct elections in our own communities, and should therefore ensure the number who go in equals those who come out.

Voter apathy is to your detriment. It works for "them" and not for you.

Mr. Chris Asor, a leading member of the civil society groups in Anambra and coordinator of Anambra State Civil Society Network (ANSCONET) said: “We think there should be a monitoring mechanism because many of the people who will get these funds or training are targeting the empowerment money, and to them it is like bazaar or windfall. The government must properly monitor these initiatives and ensure that those who are imparted with the skills and who get empowered are truly those who need it.

They should have done research to find out how similar ideas have fared in the past. But of course we wouldn't!

I so love the fact that you all don't bother to go out to vote and then claim the winner rigged the election.

If I wanted to win an election, I too would promote this distrust you all have in elections, while paying my supporters to go out to vote.

“It does not take a majority to prevail… but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brush fires of freedom in the minds of men.”

Nigeria will be saved not by the majority but the patriotic fearless tireless minorities who will do whatever it takes to stand against injustice and bad governance….

Well, that minority will need to be a significant fearless few to stand up to the majority who perpetuate the injustice and bad governance. And I strongly believe that day is nigh, though it may be after worse days than today and after many have died of the hunger and starvation that injustice and bad governance enables and promotes.

Not sure who you are referring to but even if so many of “japa” there no way over 200 million people can run away from their country…. Majority of Nigerians have no choice than to fix their country…. These evil politicians occupying public offices oppressing Nigerians are not more than 1000 people….

Not every one of 200 million Nigerians want to fix their country. Many more would rather become these so called "evil politicians occupying public offices oppressing Nigerian". And to think they "are not more than 1000 people" just shows you don't understand the extent of our problem. After all, millions of us elected those 1000.

I'd say it is our 200 million Nigerians that need to be fixed for our country to be fixed. From the civil servant who collects a bribe to do their job, to the streetwalker who throws rubbish on the street, and the fool who ignorantly votes emilokan or tribe or religion instead of policies and credibility.

We create our unfixed Nigeria, and once we stop unfixing Nigeria, Nigeria will begin to be fixed. We must start by fixing the brain in our heads, and that, the search for a good education, is a reason to japa, in my opinion.

The Mercedes-AMG brought serious upgrades to their W15 car this season, focusing on aero and general performance.While both Lewis Hamilton and George Russell showed improvements, the former seems to have benefited more from such upgrades. Mercedes recently explained why that was the case.
https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsa81j96R62WW4zsHSVARLdMd_-TsTzeymq2gLkSYnQohY52y9JFWS41DN4QEheBQ8X7xSYXtIVnKM8bz8o6GqvCoZfCKFKqmRsyiaH-Lua_MIHCwIf2PqbHbMPOvhTTor6tu3275ZOdtpY2PkQ5sLpyzL8S_Uf6d203R4SYN6sTp4MYb_wHkwEEodpICf/s1920/Lewis_Hamilton_20240816_025858385.jpg
Upgrades on the W15 were tailored by the Brackley team to dovetail with Hamilton's ultra-smooth, preserve-the-tyres-at-all-costs style of driving. The tweaks are tailor-made for the way Hamilton drives and help him exploit the full potential of the car. On the other hand, Russell has a very aggressive driving style and is still getting used to this new setup.

https://www.autodailydiary.com/2024/08/mercedes-amg-f1-upgrade-benefits-on-hamilton.html

Last race George seemed to have not had a "very aggressive driving style", and adopted a "preserve-the-tyres-at-all-costs style of driving", which allowed him to finish ahead of.everyone else, so I guess its safe to say he's learned a lot from Hamilton to good effect.
