I still maintain that skills does it all. Education to me is just a plus. Academic learning without skills to back it up, does little to elevate one especially in a difficult country like ours.

If I had known how much skills are worth, how much people make for doing what they love doing rather than what the society wants from them, I'd have studied either Fine Arts, Architecture or Industrial Design. Because these are courses laced with real time practice whether in an advanced country or a country like ours. I used to be very good at reproducing pictures with pencil. Now I would have probable made millions doing my own thing order than banking on the dy/dx and strength of materials the university taught me.

My children will all be enrolled in one training school or the other from their JSS1 (based on the orientation given to them and based on what they choose to learn) and whenever they are on long break. As their dad, I will make sure they balance these skills perfectly well with academics.

Don't get me wrong tho, education is great but the best thing to do for a child is teaching that kid how to make it in life. Apparently, our educational system teaches one how to be dependent and that is why we have hundreds of thousands of job seekers out there.

Now we emphasize on how important education is and then push all our kids to school. Some of them excel in their academics and we love, cherish and shower them with gifts while we despise those ones who don't perform well in school. We've never asked ourseleves questions like, what if the ones taking first position lacks the practical prowess and ability to get things done while the supposed "dull" one might be a practical guru and his brains tend to pick up moving objects better than stories on text books?

@the emboldened, would Buhari appoint ministers considering they're "distractions"?

The greatest President the country has ever had. It will take a lifetime to find someone who can claim to accomplish about 30% of his milestone objectives. Long live the ONCE AND FUTURE KING.

They were all very talented. But Raskimo was the lion of the jungle, he claimed far more awards after awards. Then we had Oritz Wiliki, Majek Fashek, Madators, Alex Zito,Felix Liberty, Edna Ogholi, Alex Zito, Oliver De Coke, Onyeka Owenu, Shina Peters etc. In South Africa, Shakaskaka and Lucky Dube were rocky too. Then suddenly Blacky came with Rossie. Daniel Wilson too.

Even as Chakademus and Pliers, Shabaranks, Maxi Priests, Boz II men, Whitney, Michael Bolton, Phil Collins, Telvin Campbel, Bryiam Admas, Toni Braxton and a doxen others were blasting away internationally. And the ever relevant Michael Jackson was chipping in some occasionally. It was very interesting in the late 80s and early 90s.
