unbiasedTruth:Forty to fifty years? Are you sure you're existing in the same Nigeria we all know? Because even as we speak, hundreds of thousands of Masters Degree holders are jobless in Nigeria and willing to settle even for the simplest of jobs for daily survival. |

forgiveness:Very true. Why we have so much kidnappings, ritualists and terrorists on the roads now is due significantly to illiteracy. A skilled mind will always want to find a way out often legitimately, or atleast outside of deadly crimes. |

unbiasedTruth:Imo State where I come from almost everyone is a University or Polytechnic graduate and a high percentage of post graduate Masters and Doctorate degree holders. Barrow pushers and Keke drivers are graduates. By my own understanding academic qualification is just a title and doesn't exempt anyone from low paying jobs. |

Goes to show that production and the real sector are the actual drivers of the economy, not academic qualifications. The mistake people make is thinking academics somehow entitles you to wealth without getting your hands dirty. When in actual fact, academic qualifications are supposed to aid production |

Though it's perverse to have higher education even as a PhD ( researcher) and be engaged in menial jobs But if person with degree is paid higher if he does such jobs It may be fair |

The Job situation is changing due to a mix of reasons, like how AI is getting better at doing human work, and Geopolitical fierce competition for resources. Many Jobs in China existed due to foreign companies, and many have left China, due to tensions with USA. This has led to relocations to other countries in Asia like India. The govt estimates unemployment at around 18% which seems unreliable, while others estimate unenployment levels at 50%. The fear of the future is palpable and widely felt, changing _ _ _ _.

haveMONEY:The Chinese Revolution- You Should Know: I aligned my myself with your thinking 🤔- that is positive way to reason! 1.the Chinese has a large Population of almost 1.45 Billion People,just like Total African Population of 1.3 Billion,but unlike Africa,the Chinese are not Fragmented like we have Togo, Zambia,Malawi,etc,but still same Africa - China is China and they have been saying it ' One China Policies ' 2.they are advanced -in Science, Technology,Space Engineering, Super Industrial Development - built around all the Country,unlike Africa that is still very - Far from Industrialization.e.g we don't even have Lights regularly! 3.Chinese Govt-fight Corruption with everything in them, even if you are a Billionaire,the moment you are identified with Corruption- they killed the Fellow by firing squad,unlike Africa 🌍 or Nigeria that can't fight Corruption or Criminalities. 4.Chinese Rules -is Authoritarian State, nothing like Democracy e.g- Na One Man Show,for China. 5.Despite the shortcomings in the Chinese ruling Govt- they are very Patrotic -and that is how they stole all the Western Secrets - by transferring them to their Home Govt! 6.they are always Pushing for New Products,New Innovation,New Opportunities,New Adventures,e.g going to the Space and Moon, becomes their Priorities,etc,and they have a very Productive Economy. - this is where Nigeria should Copy from Chinese - by using your Population to Your Advantages. •The Indian Govt - based on Democracy but is a Discipline Govt- is doing that too and they are doing Fantastically Well-by utilising their 1.46Billion People( that is another Continent) of their own! -Unlike the Chinese govt,the Indians - are very Hardworking, moving into Health Production ,Science and Technology,Space Engineering,etc,e.g they just launch into Space 🌌 in March 2023,they are great in Computers Manufacturing, Agric -Development, Business Model - they are even Exporting Rice- all over the World,and this is what Nigeria - should be doing in Africa 🌍! •Unlike Nigeria that is bodge down with- Ethnicity, Tribalism, Religious,Bad Leaders -by our leaders,e.g how can you be Carrying Nigerian Money 💰 to other Countries every year or under the banner of Annual Pilgrimage? -Let Prigmage be done on Private level - don't involved Govt- but is done here in Nigeria - for Corruption purposes- for many of this Funds are never accounted for by the Officials . •How do you want the Country to develop? But some people in Nigeria are deeply involved, including traditional rulers! Chinese don't do that! •Nigeria should seriously embark on Industrial Productivity - to produce - Food, Science, Technology,Space Explorations and Engineering,by involving quality Education -. 24- Hours Light 🚨, Expanding Road Networks Ensure different Sectors develop e.g Steel Development -Iron Ore Manufacturing. •Nigerians Should Be Patrotic : - you can't be haboring Criminals - across the Borders, allowing Terrorists, Kidnapping, and you think Investors will come to your Country! For Now,we are too far away - from Chinese ways of lives and Discipline. |

As long as too much emphasis is placed on certificate over skills, things like this will continue to happen. Skills build economy not just certificates. This same problem is experienced in Nigeria. Everyone wants to be a graduate of a field and collect huge pay without knowing jack about practicals. And even a lot more become graduates in abstract courses. Another thing is that there are too many students in other non-scientific fields. 70 to 80% of students should be in STEM, to grow an economy, no disrespect to other fields. For lower educational levels, vocational and technical schools should be everywhere and well financed. Even, as an Electrical Engineer, I still do electrical jobs outside my work hours to earn more; which I've been doing before I got employed. What I'm saying in essence is that more people should turn to fields where you have handy skills that you can apply on your own to cater for yourself even when no company is employing you. |

TimiofAbuja:I like this. Economically, China is not doing bad, again these are sustainable processes. Unlike the get rich quick mentality we have here in Nigeria. Looking for short cuts everywhere. We hate the slow and sustainably building process. |

Another example of human greed because educational institutions have deviated from their original purpose into becoming purely business centres. Preliminary studies were introduced, and more than 70% of the courses on offer are not relevant to the present times (imagine someone having a PhD in religious studies in 21st century). The other 20 - 25% can be learned cheaply via YouTube or something in under one year or max 2. And it is not just higher institutions, pupils still get "double promotions" at elementary level, and gone are those days when students repeat classes due to poor performance. I thought by now humans would have learned to spare the educational field of their greed and avarice for wealth but no, because left to me, how does it make sense offering programs like Political Science, Botany or even Theatre Arts when your country is grappling with insecurity, unemployment, and multidimensional poverty? |
