What about age limits on job vacancies? Like the ongoing firs recruitment. So somebody of 28yrs is unemployed in his own country? Whereas at fifty, you're sure of getting your dream job abroad. Also with 2:2 certificate, its also a death sentence. Nigeria we hail thee

Thing is, Nigeria still uses brochures and syllabus meant for the 80s in her primary, secondary and tertiary institutions.

There's no functional, current, and applicable curriculum except maybe from a few private institutions like Covenant and the likes.

60% of what is taught can't create wealth or even prepare them to jump on train of the digital age. We are atill teaching children mineral resources buried in the ground when their mates abroad are mining the gold buried in between their ears.

Na when you get an international job or a remote job and attend meetings virtually and contribute to high target discourse that affects your organisation, that's when you'll know the scores. If you aren't a smart alec who leverages things fast, you don be o😃😃

So let's say you have a precocious child. Are you saying you'd hold them back until 21 before allowing them go to uni?
Probably.

A friend of my parents had such a child. She was so good that the primary.school she attended wanted to double promote her every end of school year, but the parents said no, let her progress normally.

Their child their choice I guess. Outrightly stupid of you ask me. It's okay to insist on an average child waiting until 17. But an obviously precocious child? I will let mine into uni at 7 if they are academically ready for that rigour

After spending millions on their Education, they graduate and can't find a good job.

And you say that Education is not a Scam ?

Dey play.
A sensible and a deep thinker will never say education is a scam.

If there are lack of employment, we must resolve to solve it, however education you received will shape your mind and enlight you, infact value of education can't be quantified.

Only the Insensible and Insensitive believes that the Nigerian kind of education is not a Scam....

When you mass produce job seekers every year with the false hope of them securing employment...

That is a Big Scam.

Change the educational code to produce more of job creators than seekers...

That is the solution

Only a senseless person will say education anywhere is a scam even though countries have different challenges, but in this country, if some acquired the knowledge and were able to work in banks, be called to the bar, free lance reporter e.t.c then you don't say education is a scam, i can acquired knowledge here and applied the knowledge outside here, so Education is not the problem, but NIGERIA should have ways to tackle each of her problems.
But to say Education is a scam is silly, do they even know what Education is? So what if my parents are so rich and then that's means I don't need education anymore because I can easily get rich. Silly.

It litters every.
Those at the helm of affairs travel abroad day-in-day-out and see what is obtainable overseas. Also, Graduates and Postgraduates churns out solutions everyday through their Research projects lying waste without political leaders picking any lessons and knowledge from these researchers.

Only a Fool cannot see the Foolishness and uselessness of the current Nigerian educational system...

Job seekers instead of Job Creators are massively produced yearly and you think that is normal ?

You are Probably Abnormal..

Look at the lives of the Truly Rich people around the world and you will notice that they are Job Creators.

If your educational system is not teaching students how to be Job Creators then that system will produce future broke ass individuals.


Even the students that manages to secure employment after graduation rarely gets into the top 2% of the Richest people because they are not Job Creators...

The Richest man in Africa is not an employee but an employer of Labour..

If your Nigerian educational system mean well for the students why are they not training them to be Job Creators ?

Why is Entrepreneurship not taught in most schools ?

Why is Investment Principles not in the Curriculum of most schools ?

Why is Venture Capitalism not encouraged in our Higher Institution ?

Because the System is a Scam...

It is designed to mass produce job seekers.

Never forget this.....

A Salary is what your employer pays you for you to forget your dreams in life


Once you are an employee collecting salaries, you are more likely to kiss your dreams good bye.

The Nigerian educational system remains a Major Scam until Job Creators are created on a yearly basis.

You are busy yelling "education is scam" up and down, while you sent your children to school.
Education is not scam, it is your greed , your mentality, your government, your parents are the scam.

Mumu comment from a Mumu fowl

My children left school and became Job Creators and not Job seekers...

They are employers of labour.

I taught them entrepreneurship and the rudiments of Venture Capitalism.

But in your case, your parents scammed and brainwashed you to become a Job seeker after leaving school...

So the next time you see your parents, call them Scammers.

Another idiotic reply from an unrepentant idiot.

My children are doing well today not because of what they learnt in the four walls of any school

But because of the business and investment knowledge I personally taught them..

You are suffering today because your ignorant parents taught you nothing about business, investment and job creation.

They encouraged you to study hard.... Get a job and retire well ..... If you are lucky enough.

But the thing is..... You were not so fortunate, just like other members of your family that live unfortunate lives.

You and your Household were Scammed by the Nigerian educational system.

You better change your opinion about the educational system in this country before your own children will fall victim to the Nigerian educational system, just like you.

Learn Entrepreneurship and teach your children to be Job Creators, employers of labour

and not to depend on the system that Scammed a Last Mugu like you.

Hypocrite, a product of doubtful parentage.
Telling lies and constantly switching from one lie to the other and with such paranoia.
Your wayward lowlife bipolar parents really passed a lot to you.

You are the Ideal definition of Hypocrisy...

You are suffering and Smiling at the same time due to generational Hypocrisy and ignorance that was passed down to you.

Speaking of Parents,

The idiot you call daddy is actually not your father.

Your real father is an Ape that impregnated that useless, ignorant thing you call mummy.

A Beast can never raise a good prosperous individual. A Beast can only raise a Beast.

Little wonder you behave like a Beast in Nairaland.

A Beast would not be able to identify a Scam, that is why the Nigerian educational system have taken beasts like you and your household for a ride.

Even if you were taught the rudiments of investments and Entrepreneurship, you still will not be able to grasp them

Because those skills are beyond the mental capability of a Beast like yourself.

Last Mugu.

Your head is not correct and you are the one perhaps and your father who are abnormal and not me.
I will keep telling you for the upteen time that only an idiot and brainless entity will proclaim EDUCATION as a scam anywhere.
Since you have pronounced, qualify or define it EDUCATION, then it's no more a scam.
If you are educated and you be able to even type on Nairaland, it's no more a scam, you should blame your lack of ingenuity and dullness, your inability to think outside the box.
Look at this lazy nonentity with fake statistics only 2% of those who made it are salary earners, you must be kidding with your fake news called statistics.
Your father must be poor, you are from a poor background, that's why you assume if you are earning salaries then you can't make it, infact your head is not correct with this una motivation talk that salary earners won't rise their heads to fulfill their dreams.
When some salary earners earn millions in a month and let's even forget hundreds of thousands some earn in a month, go to various lucrative sectors and get what they get paid in dollars, is it not education that got them to that position or you think because they know your father? these idiots will talk as if salary earners don't build mansions, it depends on what you do mehn, and these best lucrative positions are manned by educated people, and so be it job creator or working for someone, you get revenue, so what's the issue?! and if you want to quit salary work and invest, at least you can start from your savings, since capital is key.
They will talk as if salary earnings means 5 thousand naira per month, jokers.

So that's the sense I want to get across to una head, Nigeria can still improve a lot in her education doesn't mean EDUCATION itself is a scam, because with it, you can leverage, if your brain is not sawdust filled.
All curricula don't have to be industrial or technological based, there are people in other fields who have achieved greatness via education, and the practical education or industrial ones too we have to improve on that, not that they are not present at all but population produced year in, year out must be accommodated by various institutions, and these institutions don't grow at the same rate population are growing, hence you find people in fields which are not theirs while studying in school, but undergo little training and fit in(the education they had made it possible for them to adapt quickly) , and get this wrong impression off your mind that all graduates must be job creators, you are a shallow thinker if you think that's the case, and you rather go through various departments to see for yourself.

Nonsense, even Dangote and Obasanjo went back to school, a richest man is not bla bla bla....go and check thousands of millions of educated people earning salaries in various fields and they are success in their own rights.

EDUCATION ANYWHERE IS NEVER A SCAM, what you can use as a form of improvisation to achieve your aim here or outside the country is never a scam, only you and other idiots will argue against that.
