You're obviously not getting things right. John Deere has been importing heavy machinery into Nigeria since the 80s. Till today, not one block engine can be manufactured in Nigeria. Meanwhile, you can get a mechanical technician easily to couple the engine for you here in nigeria cheaply and easily.
So I ask which do you think Nigeria needs between technical vocational skills or engineering expertise

DeepSight:
Doubtful if AI bodes well for humanity.

madridguy:
How many technical college/school you build as a governor or as a senator Pa Adams?

Kingosytex:
You are not only daft but extremely stupid, senseless, ignorant, and foolish.
How things like you reason is something I can't fathom.
A fool talking about IQ couldn't even proffer solutions or debate a point without resorting to insults and name calling.
When you're ready, mention me properly let's debate.
Idiotic, senseless, useless thing.

That is a crude way of putting it, but Oshiomole is right. To industrialise, Nigeria needs more technical work force.

However, the socio-economic conditions and value system in nigeria does not give proper dignity and reward to such jobs, except on few occasions.

Kbrule:
Are bricklayers and iron benders the ones that will industralize Nigeria?

yesloaded:
How many technical universities do we have in Nigeria?

stop taking weed
You’re trying to make sense of people who stole our future and turn around to call us names. Do you know what people go through in school for 4 years and only for the old fool to say this stupid thing. Who is now to be blamed? The guys who went to school?

Stop making dinner from dustbin

wirinet:
Imagine. Nothing Musa no go hear for gate. So na bricklayers and iron benders go develop Nigeria? Na bricklayers and iron benders develop UK, US, Germany, Japan, China, etc.?
Maybe we should start hiring bricklayers and iron benders in government, in our refineries, in our powers stations, even in our universities.

The most stupid suggestion I have ever heard.

I quite agree with you,massive adoption of Ai will lead to massive loss of blue collar jobs..

The economy is like a Capucinno coffee. Where the rich, dark coffee brew sits under, while the white, sugary foam rests on top.

Most people that are doing the real work are blue collar, while the white collars ones are sprinkled on top, overshadowing the real heros that are engines of the economy.

Delete almost all the entertainers, newscasters, politicians, real estate agents, etc from my life and I swear I won't miss them, but the farmers, soldiers, bricklayers, drivers, cleaners will make everyday life crumble instantly.

bluestone2015:
Which child of his, is a bricklayer or iron bender?

Softmirror:
You mean the likes of Federal Universities of technologies?

The main problem is we Nigerians hardly want to struggle for the common good of this nation. We are mostly saboteurs. I can remember a headmaster of a technical secondary school who told his students to carry almost all the machines and hand tools that was bought for the students by the Federal government to his house. He stole almost every thing. That's how it plays out in all sectors. WE ARE OUR OWN PROBLEM.

Kukutente23:
Snap a pic of yourself mixing cement pls

In the world of AI, automation and control, we're looking for more iron benders and bricklayers

Who do Africa like this?

ceejayluv:
You dey mind them? Mechanic workshops are getting scanty. Na who bellefull dey fuel or fix motor.

obailala:
Yes...

To industrialise a nation, technical skills are far more needed than paper degrees of engineers and project managers. Unfortunately in Nigeria, even highly skilled artisans are paid peanuts and regarded as lower humans, so no one wants to learn those skills.

Bash him all you like, he spoke the raw truth.
It's high time we all talk about acquiring technical skills. Each year, graduates are released into the labour market where there are no jobs.

How many people retire every year? Compare the number of retirements with the number of graduates each year, you will understand the mess we are in.

ivandragon:
Do you think it is the graduates that dangote employed that were doing the welding and fabrications?

Where they the ones operating the machinery or driving the trucks?

In the electricity sector you mentioned, do you think those doing the major field work are all graduates?

Do you even know what blue collar jobs are?

smokinloud:
Let's admit you make millions. How much una companies budget for generator maintenance?. How many Nigerian get money to use generator?. When demand nor dey braindrain go dey.
