sorry to say, you lack experience alot. what's your joy in instilling fear without an objective fact.
you only posted out of a subjective feelings.
.
by the way do you know what mechatronics really is?
.
if on the virtue of 'japa', i'm more versed in that!
i have an handful of friends who av japa to u.s and russia for their undergrads.
moreso, i've personally read and researched alot on this 'japa'. i'm not a tyro!

mechatronics is a top notch, believe it or not. though new in nigeria, highly recongnised overse'.
.
pls when next you wish to reply me, pls do so with facts and logic. i dislike engaging with emotions and sentiments.

A lot of Nigerian students especially those from high school still hold some archaic mentality that some courses are a sure way out of poverty. The situation of Nigeria and the future should make people dead that mentality o. If you arent from a rich family or well connected you should avoid studying some courses in Nigeria.

The following should be avoided except you are rich or well connected.

Medicine: This used to be a very sure way out of poverty. Just like 14 years back, even NYSC doctors were getting six figures. It was so good that even after NYSC and Housemanship, some doctors had bought nice cars or even built houses. The situation is totally different today. To get housemanship as a doctor na die and even when you get it you will be paid peanuts. To migrate out of the country as a doctor requires serious money which if you arent from a privileged home might be very difficult to meet. To also further as a doctor in Nigeria is very difficult as a lot of residency programs are based on who you know. Its no more about merit just as it used to be before yet every year thousands of teenagers kill themselves trying to get into medicine when they can get into other programs which are much more lucrative.

All Engineering Courses except Electrical/Computer engineering: Contrary to what a lot of people think, engineering a lot of branches of engineering are not as lucrative as people think they are. I was checking unilag's cut off the other day for my cousins and was shocked to find out that petroleum engineering has the highest cut-off point in the engineering department. That is a program that should be scrapped. Its glory days are over and never going to come back and its so restrictive yet a whole lot of brilliant people think killing themselves to study this is actually a good idea. Electrical and computer engineering are the only courses I can really advise anyone to go for as they are very much relevant in the ICT sector. Embedded systems, computer hardware, robotics alongside a host of others are mostly offshoots of these fields.
Lucrative alternatives to engineering that arent as competitive are computer science, mathematics and physics. Someone intending to study civil engineering or mechanical engineering in Nigeria should go for physics. There's practically no place a mechanical or civil engineer can work in this world that someone with a degree in physics cant work.

Law: I wont say much here but if you love poverty, this is an amazing course to study. If you are from arts class, instead of law go for a degree in English. At least with a TEFL certificate and an English degree you can get good jobs teaching English in asia and latin america.

Another thing that might help is that before you study a course, go on linkedin. Create a profile, go to linkedin jobs and check specifically how many jobs exist for your course in Nigeria, Africa and globally.

Nigeria isnt funny anymore to waste time on nonsense and funny as it is, Nigeria of today is a paradise compared to the Nigeria coming so folks should help themselves.

AMEN!
.
Yet, your response is not a fact i had wanted.
.
let me give a little fact.
.
facebook search 'ischolarinitaive'.
just scroll through their page.
there, u wl see one of their scholar, who studied mechatronics at fuoye. he won a fully funded phd scholarship to a prestigious uni in the u.s... yet he study mechatronics.
.
also visit "educationusa abuja" fb page and see how engr students are getting fully funded scholarship in u.s(majority are mechanical guys).
.
fact check ur self, dnt believe me for my words.
.
i engage in facts, i love logic.

The entire educational system is bullshitt, the curriculum was not designed with century 21 in mind. Those courses are mostly outdated. People are still being lectured about 9 planets in the solar system, that there are only 3 states of matter etc.

Are these not crazy people?

I will say, study how to make money using 21st century tools. Learn how to build houses, learn how to build phones, learn how to develop AI applications, learn how to make money via ecommerce. Learn to make money online generally. Study health sciences, pharmaceuticals and be useful.

Stop going to school, study online. Stop going to churches or mosques, learn about God online, stop wasting your motherffucking time in classes, it is useless, even if you get a job,

You that wanted an affirmation with a pat at your back that your course is great, why are you now feeling hurt cos he did otherwise? Let me tell you, Nigeria will shock you soon. Just try your best and be the very best in your course of study so that you give yourself a better fighting chance. Shay he gave you an assignment, go to LinkedIn create a profile and check for opportunities for your course home and abroad.

Speaking English as usual.

A farmer in of the SWestern states placed cassava in front of his farms as a deterrent against those cows As expected, the cows ate them and died. The man was arrested not because he planted cassava on his farmland but because senior citizens died. Farmers defended themselves against Fulani herdsmen after series of attacks in Tai, Rivers state. What happened? The Nigerian Army was called in from Bori Camp to "calm" the situation. Prior to those attacks, the army did not "calm" any situation. Or the incident where farmers pursued Fulani herdsmen from their lands only for them to come later and slaughtered all those farmers or the case where a Fulani herdsman threatened to kill a farmer who pleaded with him to leave his land. What about the case in Uruan, Akwa Ibom where Fulani herdsmen cut off the hands of the farm manager of a cassava plantation who dared to pursue them from the farmland. Guess who owns the land? An aide to Governor Udom. What happened afterwards? Nothing! Or the Nairalander who as a result of economic privation of Covid-19 borrowed money and started a vegetable farm only for Fulani herdsmen to use their cows and ravaged everything. How does he pay back his debts?


Keep speaking English.

Quite impressive if you internalize the objective and actually have a focused goal that you intend to achieve with the knowledge received. Best to not study courses with 'employment' in mind, but look at the courses you study as a tool to achieve a specific goal subjectively.

They are in for a Shock the South can breed bigger and better Livestock with better Production of Milk once we get the right type of Agricultural Revolution

Ostrich and Antelope Production can also be big

Antelope Milk can last for 9 months without refrigeration and without Spoiling
