They should go for vocational studies and skill acquisition programs.

What we need now is more skilled people.

We already have so many empty heads with university certificates in the system

let's take for example,

people who studied engineering have a higher capacity to learn coding skills faster and understand better...

so I don't think you can dismiss a university education totally

FireUpNow:
According to one minister no admission for those candidates of age 16 and 17. But jamb allowed them to buy form and write the exam. Nonsense

Mr president score 400/400. Very brilliant

As in ehn...

bluefilm:
It's amazing the large number of our youths who want to go and waste four or five years of their lives all in the name of attending a university and acquiring a useless knowledge in the process...

What a pity

Really
What should they do instead

Rukkive:
It is very important to understand what computer Science is. When you learn a programming language it is like learning yoruba generating appropriate statements in Yoruba Bt that does not make you a Yoruba person by birth, there will be plenty of word history in the language u would never understand . This analogy applies to those who learn programming languages without a proper education in CSC . Programming languages are only mediums/tools used to implement algorithms that those who didn't study computer Science can never understand. How do you explain computational complexities key for evaluation of most CSC systems especially in security. You see a brief definition of who computer scientist are, is captioned in the definition below:
Computer science is the study of computational processes and information structures, including
their hardware realizations, their linguistic models, and their applications. Areas in CSC include:

algorithms, architecture, computational science, graphics, human-computer interaction, information management, intelligent systems, net-centric computing, operating systems, programming languages, and software engineering.

Those who study CSC don't engage in trial and errors because they understand the principles.
EkSU is a good ground to learn Computer Science as all classes are both theoretical and practical encompassing. Even our hardware lab where we discuss and design, implement digital logic , design/implement computer arithmetic and architecture is something to admire. Everyone of Our lecturers are practically equipped.

As for that student, you certainly are one of those spill bad eggs who chose the course computer Science thinking it is bribe your way around event and no true practical understanding, the lecturer you mentioned uses C++ while teaching data structures and Java.
Computer science embraces math, physics,biology.
Understand that no subject is irrelevant in the course of studying CSC, today we have computational biology. Most security systems are exploiting biology for effective security but we still deal with the place of computational complexity in memory and time.
Researches in security are exploring every relevant course to improve on available security.

Computer scientist are not just programmers they are computer Science, the future.
The person who gave this information on the choice of school is RIGHT to have included EKSU.

Look guys, CS isn't about mathematics only, please stop saying that. It's about how well your problem solving skills are, which means you should be good at logic.

Different problems have different solutions, e.g. if you're working in a scientific company, chances are your programming will involve lots of formulas and equations. However, if you're working in a place that isn't really scientific or similar, chances are you won't use maths often

The programming aspect of CS is just like real languages, someone may know big grammar and long words(formulae and equations) but he may not tailor them well to write a script, story, poem, essay or article, and as such he has failed to communicate.
Now if another knows simple grammar but can arrange it in a pleasing way to be enjoyed, he has communicated and solved problems, that's logic and good thinking at play.

Computer Science is about how well you can use the computer to solve problems, not endless equations that lead nowhere

akisoft:
Mathematics is one of the building blocks of been a computer scientists, but I will tell you why most ppl will disagree, because they think, computer science only involves website designing, basic application development..., as a computer scientists one of things you should able to do is writting complex algorithm to solve complex problems, like routing, cryptography, data mining, Natural Language processing, facial recognition... which requires some math like set theory, geometry, abstract maths(groups and rings, number theory etc..)

Did you get the idiot arrested and locked up to eat watery beans in jail? I was waiting to hear that part.

hahaha

watery beans

DMerciful:
Betnaija wants to rob the guy. Why should the original winner pay for the crime of their agent? Is that not what insurance is for?

They hoodwinked him to collect 3 million out of 16million. That's fraudulent! He should be paid his balance

yeah correct

it wasn't the mother that did the slapping, it was the aunt. Soft slap sef. The mum would have killed her

are you sure the mum was not there

Nigeria is a country where those who are naturally supposed to be doctors and nurses end up becoming bus conductors or at best given Agric courses or Zoology while the below average students end up becoming Medics and doctors

Deep

Eriokanmi:
Na Papa seun osewa school be dat. Is he from ekiti state? I'm checking...oh, its ogun this time...it's an ogun state name

What's your point?

jmoore:
17 years? While minister of education wants to make 18 years as the minimum age before university admission.

...
They should better dead that policy

Dennisochampa:
If she agrees, take her out on a date and knack the hell out of her..

Hahaha

Dennisochampa:
Wen e can easily do point and kill on social media........

How do you mean?

Philosopher1979:
It should bev16 and not 18
Secondly, how about the case of prodigies and geniuses. Such people need special educational attention

15 is even okay

texthemenace:
Wahala be like who Bleep olosho no wear condom

hmmmm

na wahala be dat?

Mind you,regardless of what your parent (Dad) might have done, you're never supposed to judge him but there you are judging.

Kindly note that your child(ren) will do it back to you in your old age. Seanwilliams already stated this.

This might have been happening since without coming to light

Isn't elumelu a 3rd class degree holder...under the table..Over-the-counter table..you need to take the table.

The names popping up left, right and center ehn... So Elumelu is also a third class degree holder

jiz:
In the Nigeria, your class of grade is more important than your course of study. A first class graduate in Yoruba language will have upper hand than a third class in mechanical engineering

Hmm. Really?

Kingsasian:
@Op, don't mind those mocking you. I graduated with the same class of degree but I can tell you for free that i am doing better than most of them with better degrees. Forget those conventional jobs and go into tech, virtual assistant lines. The moment I saw my results years ago I told myself I that I will never bother myself about working with it.

Are you in tech now?

Great write up. Thank you for this

finallybusy:
Following. I honestly want to know. BBC will never educate Nigerians on this. All they know is how to criticize our government, like we aren’t doing a good job of it ourselves.

I share your frustration with the lack of comprehensive coverage on important issues like this. It's crucial for us to engage in open discussions and seek solutions together. Thank you for your interest in understanding the challenges we face.

What is the cause of the unsteady power supply in Nigeria, using Port Harcourt as a case study? Sometimes, I wonder if NEPA (PHCN) simply turns the switch on and off whenever they like. It's truly frustrating that the government cannot provide basic amenities. Even if they can't create jobs, they should at least ensure a stable power supply and security, and a working system. Some individuals could help themselves by starting businesses or improving their technical skills. Additionally, data is not affordable for the average Nigerian. I am unaware of the actions of our government and ministers.

'Nigeria just tire person.'

Can you be more precise ?

How you withdraw money from abroad to your Nigeria bank acct

okoloto:
The federal government can partner with the state government and private firms to build this in every state and power problem will be a thing of the past but naaaa they won't
Nnaji has proven that it is possible but there is no will on part of the government. All these guys stealing our common wealth should also invest in stuffs like this. Naaa they won't instead they go to America, all these tax heaven countries and UK or Dubai to hide the money. The ones investing in the sector is waiting for the government to sell existing plants to them for peanuts to continue exploiting Nigerians and with black out as usual.

who funded this project?

Why does Amazon ban accounts I mean the major reasons

oneman2k7:
Wicked woman. Remove her two eyes and set her free.

That kind free

Konetech:
Upwork and fiverr

I wanted to ask what online bank or platform

Who funded this project and why not arrange similar project in other states

What platform do you use for cashing out with your clients
