ivandragon:
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.

lereinter:
In engineering we have

Engineers

Technologist

Technician

Artisan

Different roles

We artisan design a building or pipe network, dams, bridges, will artisan design boilers, or mechanical system

Extra30:
Ok

Go and tell that to your grandchildren. Tell them to become bricklayers, mechanics and carpenters.

You have your son as Edo state commissioner of Health, if he was a bricklayer, would he be a commissioner?

obailala:
1 person can be the brain behind the innovation, but it takes many skilled artisans and technicians to turn that innovation into commercial success. In otherwords, in any successful industrial setting, skilled hands (artisans, craftsmen, technocians etc) are needed more than engineers.

Been reading through this thread and it bizarre how almost everyone missed the point.

Kukutente23:
It's still engineers that will design and build machines for mass production
Bricklayers or iron benders don't do mass production. Your idea is like comparing a subsistence farmer with hoe and cutlass with an agric engineer who uses tractors and other machinery. Why are we unable to feed ourselves when agriculture is our largest employer of labour? The answer is that there are so many Bricklayer level farmers and so few agric technologist.
Oshiomole just mouthed nonsense and I'm shocked any youth will agree with him

Adeniyiademola:
he could probably become commissioner of work or labour base on his concentration.

Love800:
I thought polytechnics are technical schools?

TEYA:
Which one is technical university again?

tctrills:
I am guessing his children are technical workers.
Nigeria already has thousands of engineers who are teaching in secondary schools. It's not about needing more, it's about what you do with the ones you have.

Am a welder/spray painter I'll send you pictures this evening after I get off from work

Hotspurs:
do al companies employ mechanic abroad.. dont dey just come..do there shit and leave

ufotunang:
... Nigeria already has more technical force...for Nigeria to be industrialized ..a conducive environment for companies, industries to thrive is needed..like constant electricity light supply is needed, appreciate and strengthen of the naira and make the naira have value against the dollars , low interest rate, low costs of fuel, disel , good roads, high purchasing power of nigerians, fair tax system not multiple taxation

smokinloud:
In developed countries self-employed mechanics benefit from the robust economy. In contrast, Nigeria's cheap labor and low demand for skilled workers drive brain drain, as talented individuals seek better opportunities which leads many of them into yahoo.

Elusive001:
This is pathetic. So to you, industrialisation is about building structures? You think that masons and reinforcement fixers will design sustainable industries and run them effectively and efficiently? So lack of these skilled workers is the reason companies are closing up in Nigeria.

You are indeed a clown.

Love800:
What is blue collar job?

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

smokinloud:
Nigeria's problem is complex. The reality is that the labor market for skilled technical workers is struggling, with many individuals lacking access to good jobs. This isn't just a matter of dignity and reward; it's a systemic problem that discourages people from pursuing technical careers in the first place.

Furthermore, the current system doesn't incentivize learning artisanship or technical skills. As a result, many young people are deterred from exploring these career paths. To industrialize, Nigeria needs a multifaceted approach that addresses the root causes of these issues, rather than just acknowledging the lack of dignity and reward for technical jobs.

Solsix:
How many of Adams oshomole is a bricklayer or iron bender??

madridguy:
But when you have a building project, you would give it to someone who attended the university rather than someone who is a product of apprenticeship.

Kennitrust:
so, this guy, you Sense like this and you are supporting tinnuubu?

Lol

Wonder shall never end!

D111:
Is carpenter, bricklayer, mechanic etc not a good work
Am barber,thank God for where I am today
Note=I did not go to school
But thanks to Almighty God,I can feed myself, wife and kids convinent

TEYA:
only a clown will think the industrialisation of china was effected by artisans. Maybe to that foolish man CCECC is a company owned and run by artisans

Douglad:
there are already so many people doing it. what are the incentives the government has used to support them. the thing with idiots like you is that a politican can come and say the stupidest shit in the world and there will be no shortage of reetards to support them

Softmirror:
You will see how they will TWIST the wisdom he has said with their FOOLISHNESS.

And na all those University graduates wey don finish like 10-15 years ago even 20 years ago wey still dey their papa house because they are jobless go dey talk grammar OUT OF FRUSTRATION. When, road side mechanic, vulcanized, shoe maker...........don settle down with him own family, build shelter for them, they live life. Contributing to the nation's economy. It's just an irony.

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.
