Man is saying the truth. The time is finally upon us. No more getting through the 4 walls filled with lizards to learn something that don't and won't improve your lifestyle in the future.

Learn skills. It's a drift and we will get there. Corporatuons are now employing without institutionalised degrees. Get a cert and skill akin to what your passion is, while studying online.

Options plenty. It's either people, organizations, communities, countries shape in or they ship out.
but all these don't apply for medical courses sha

That's because this lecturer sells certificates without the accompanying learning that empowers students to use their brains and minds.

Moral of the story is, ensure you buy learning, and not just the certificate.

that's the fact.. Imagine uniben having semester every 2-3months and they expect the students to be knowledgeable enough.

The professor is right!!

The purpose of education is not to get a job. The purpose of education is to train your mind to think so that you can solve your problem and that of your group (culture). If you're unable to think critically for yourself or and your culture out of a predicament, then you didn't go to school.

The purpose of education is to think your way out of a difficult situation, whether it's getting a job, or getting a wife or husband, restructuring your society or country, getting rich, traveling abroad, joining politics, learning a trade. Even if it's armed robbery or fraud you want to do, your education should make you better at doing it.

Whatever it is.....the purpose of education is that you should come up with a better way to get it done with or without help.

For about two years, I've been facing a downtime because I am currently investigating something that led me into economic meltdown. Believe me, I investigate and experiment on anything. I'll not say more on this because it's an ongoing investigation. I'll write something about it when I am done.

Meanwhile, I asked myself: what can I write now that people can buy across cultures around the world? I decided on a topic and wrote 8 books on that topic last year. I uploaded them on various sites including on Paystack and Flutterwave.

This January alone, I've sold 6 copies at $19 each on organic sales. No advertising yet but I'll soon advertise them.

How can someone who truly passed through a school system not fix himself?

Paystack and Flutterwave have solved a major problem for Nigerian youths who want to succeed.

The world is tilting but universities in Nigeria don't understand that.

In UK or us, you are allowed to work and study.

This work experience you get would make you ready even before being a graduate. You would even discover a lot of things and how the world truly works.

In Nigeria, study and not allowed to work because of ancient curriculum that has not invented anything meaningful except copying.

Tell me what happens when a student studies alone and comes out like a newbies to the world system.

In UK or US you already understand that if you don't work you won't chop. What stops a student from helping houses dispose refuse on weekends. In Nigeria lecturers will set class on weekend.

Make u na dey play.

Person say make we dey learn witchcraft when other countries dey try understand the whole galaxy and conquer it.

The Nigerian education system is light years behind in terms of true impartation of knowledge and life skills.

The fact that most people graduate from tertiary institutions here, and all they can think of is white-collar salaried jobs shows the nation's education system is fvcked!

With good and all-round academic impartation, you should be focused on solving problems, as well as creating value which can be well monitized.

Stupid lecturers

Since jobs aren't available why still continue to pay lecturers who train rubbish

If a company is not making sales it closes down

FG should reduce the number of university sack the lectures

Government just wants data. Some numbers they can post to foreign countries.
We have 100 universities in Nigeria, and lecturers teaching....
You know, the higher the number, the better.
So don't expect Government to close down any Uni or send Lecturers away.
It is you that will use your sense to select a good course of study that will be viable after you graduate.
Lecturer is already receiving his salary for whatever rubbish his lecturing. So he don't care about your future.
YOU are the one hoping to recieve yours through a good job after you graduate.

Unfortunately the graduates are dreaming in the clouds.
They have NO IDEA of the Job market before rushing to University and studying one useless course.
Later, they come out and start crying up and down, that they can't find job.
Someone who is well aware would be working in such kind of place BEFORE even going to university.
Work as cleaner, labour... whatever, so far you are INSIDE that particular company first.
And If you can't find that place BEFORE university, it simply means the place DOES NOT EXIST.
And don't waste your time doing a degree for that kind of place.

Many people go to school with some weird expectation of skill they are to get and doors certificate will open for them.
Sure, a certificate can open a door and let you in, but you need more than the certificate to stay in that room. Skills are non-negotiable.

The lecturer is right, Nigeria educational system is outdated, about %95 percent of courses in Nigeria universities and other tertiary institutions are no longer relevant...

You can write about ANYTHING under the sun. However, the type of topic that would have wider appeal is the one that would show how to get something done.

Change this mentality... If everyone now go to school, and nobody is a fashion designer, who will sew the clothes you will wear? We are supposed to go to school to acquire skills and knowledge for barbing, buying and selling, fashion designing etc and not to go and read irrelevant books and graduate with a useless certificate. Those Fendi and varsace you crave for were designed by graduates and talented individuals. Britain just came here and messed with our brains and intelligence.
I beg to disagree bro,
Instead there should be special schools that deals with those professions, where you are trained on how things are done,not going to the university to study business admin for instance only to become a chef

Well, if you really got quality training then you could use all that knowledge to create something of value or start up a highly profitable business and be your own boss.
My Pops who's a business tycoon, didn't enroll me in Uni with the mindset of getting a job after, but rather to start up my own business, running it in the informed and modern way by applying the knowledge gotten from tertiary training.
