What about the fundamental human rights? Freedom of Association, and Dignity of human person, Self Determination, the growing LGBTIQ+? Should a state declare herself an Islamic state and prevent others from observing their religious beliefs?

Why are advocates of Agberoism fare better than graduates? why do the Nigerian Government tolerates militancy and banditary and deals mercilessly with advocates of good government who only carry placards to press home their demands?

As far as I am concern, Nigeria is far away from civilization, and is not for the right thinking people.

Philosopher1979:


The funny thing is that we need philosophy badly in Nigeria but we are not aware
boko haram is a philosophical issue.
suicide (which is now common) has philosphical undertones. What is happiness? Why did God bring me into the world to suffer
Sexual liberality and the fall of marriage and the rise of single mothers.
Even big brother Africa is a philosophical movement
in a religious society such as ours we badly need philosophy.
e.g we believe in money rituals. is it superstition or what??
What is education? why do we go to school? what is God? what is African culture?
why are we backward? why do we have bad leaders?... and many more
philosophy answers and solves many problems.
but we are not aware of it

You don't need to go for a master's. With your philosophy degree, you can opt for HR roles. Register for CIPM to get started. If you are good at numbers, enter accounting and begin by registering for ICAN. Don't do any masters in that field. Go for RELEVANT professional certifications.

Be good at aptitude tests/job tests when called upon. That is the biggest hurdle in getting a relatively good job in Nigeria, and I think, globally.
Can someone with a degree in Microbiology do CIPM?

What the OP is going thru now, lots of people are going thru same and sometimes, we usually take the familiar route. We want to do a master's when we have a bachelor's degree or doctorate when we have a master's degree thinking we will stand a better chance after we finish but the problem is labor market is saturated home and abroad. Any degree without a unique skill put you at disadvantage even in US not to talk of Nigeria. I have a friend that has MBA but drives Uber in US. I have MEd but had to go start my own business cos what teaching will offer me even in US will hardly pays my bills.
Higher qualifications home or abroad ain't the solution because if your bachelor's degree is not in demand, I doubt if masters will make a difference.

Same here. I studied Philosophy too at OAU.

Today, I manage Medical facilities because of my managerial skills and experience.

Forget about job security when you are not lecturing or self employed. In this country, you have to be practical for you to survive. Critical and rigorous philosophical reasoning is counterproductive in Nigeria. Either you have some practical skills or you join the bandwagon of those unemployed graduates who now depend on Okada/Marwa Tricycle income to make ends meet, you may end up being able to cater for your needs.

Philosophy as a discipline can only empowered your thinking faculty which is not useful to Nigerians because we do not value critical reasoning.

Best bet is to go for Managerial Psychology, MBA, Forensic and Criminology, Cinematography, Information Management courses at the Masters level if you want to make a difference in your life.


Oh... nice to meet you bro. Critical reasoning only exists in the lecture room. Outside here, na jungle o!! grin

Anyway, if you by chance know anyone who needs wedding or event photography services, you can always holla.... Nice to meet you once again... cool

Start a youtube career as the Nigerian Socrates.

Talk deep into the things people crave to hear, and help them straighten their life via the power of your words.

People are hungry for knowledge, and truth, and to set themselves free from the shackles society has tied them under without their consent.

Pastor Okonkwo and his wife for example are doing the marriage version, and he has millions of followers and tens of millions of views on youtube, and he tours the world, selling tickets and books.

Jordan Peterson, the same thing. But you have to be really good sha. So asking if you should go for a master is like pushing responsibilities to the future when you can start from today and take the bull by the horn.

But the world's greatest philosophers never studied philosophy, it's just a thing that is in them.

So I see no reason why you should spend more years, pay more fees, and postpone doing something, only to finish it and still feel like how you feel now, but with a new shiny degree certificate, more older, and God forbid, broke.

Thumbs up!

'Man live to think. Man think to live' is not a slogan for the economically disadvantaged Nigerians.

Nice to meet you, bro.

You can consider a career change or like someone said, open a YouTube channel and give your take on the current happenings around the world. You'd never run out of materials to work with as there are too much content popping out daily, and the good you are the faster your account grows as long as you are consistent.

I know a fellow doing that on YouTube from Enugu. It also gets better with time, I mean your knowledge and video quality.

The way people dish out advices these days is mind-boggling. Someone studied philosophy, who probably may not be good in mathematics, and someone proffers data science, analytics and the rest. If it's the analytics part, no wahala but science, there is wahala.

It is not like the OP can't do such course, but you could have asked him his likes and dislikes , so that he/she wouldn't take a course and run away in few months.

Op, on a scale of 1 to 10, how much mathematics do you like?

Can someone with a degree in Microbiology do CIPM?

Yes. It is course neutral. Just strive to do an internship or get into an entry level position so you have the experience compared to someone who studied Industrial Relations.

I did philosophy too but am actually abandoning that course for criminology. Well if you want to continue there are competitive masters courses such as

- Masters in Philosophy of Science and the Natural World

- Masters in Art, science and visual thinking

- Masters in Philosophy of Data and digital society

- Masters in Philosophy of politics and economics

In my opinion I'd opt for you to choose.

Philosophy of Data and digital society.

Then get an additional certification in data analysis or something.

I am totally aware of that. BUT you cannot do an 'LL.M (Masters in Law) in Nigeria WITHOUT a Law degree, LL.B.

It is not rocket science.
