you people know this zoning thing is a civil war waiting to happen abi? cause it wont work

Omenani:

You will be waiting for a long time. And it will most likely not happen during your lifetime. This is the African way to vote. Nigeria is not different from other African nations.

why cant the change come when we're around? i mean the world is leaving Nigeria behind, we need change in all aspects of the word. besides i never say never. you never know it could be someone from this NL that makes it happen

im waiting for the time when the presidency is decided by who would do the most good for the country as a whole and not a matter of the tribe the person is from

these are the recent top 20 in th US

ok, when i say it could do wonders for the Nigerian market, im referring to the people with majors like economics, international business etc. not everybody studied engineering. those majors learnt in a foreign country make you look at Nigeria from a foreign perspective, all that is wrong and all that is beautifully right. policys that worked in other countries and why they didn't, couldn't or should work over there. there are way too many engineers trying to get jobs, work in oil while the problem is the economy. the way i feel, fix that and Nigeria is on the fast track because we really do have everything else. also business majors aren't as expensive as engineering majors. so in the long run will be worth every kobo/penny etc

I have a few questions for you guys studying abroad:

1. Do you just go abroad to study any degree based on what you can afford?
2. Do you look at the economy of the country you want to go, the kind of jobs in demand in that country, the type of wages they pay, the immigration policies of that country, before you go there?

My reason for this is as follows: Education is an investment. You should consider all the stuff I wrote in (2) if you want to go and study in any country. It's not enough nowadays to just study 'abroad'. You have to consider what happens after. Your certificate alone isn't going to open doors automatically.

straight from secondary school, i had no reason to look at the economy. just left with a dream like everybody else who went to a university. a foreign degree if utilized could do wonders for the nigerian markets. if you are referring to post graduate studies, then i would hope they do at least a little research

i cant help but notice that most of the experiences are from people who got done with school over in the UK. im about to graduate in the US and move on to masters. so i guess the problem of jobs while it is a serious problem, the US job market didnt get hit as hard as the UK. Going back to Naija yes is something i definitely want to do but after my masters im probably staying a year or 5
