Truths9ja:I beg to differ that "it's bad leadership that's affecting us". We are a democracy, imperfect as we are, and it is the followers who elect those who lead us. So, if we elect bad leaders, we should perhaps blame ourselves for electing bad leaders, and next time elect good leaders. Please do not, as some claim, try to argue that we did not elect bad leaders. Even if you did not vote, your not voting let the bad ones be our leaders, and we've hopefully learnt from our apathy.

budaatum:do the followers have the funds and the strength to counter this emperor government? Do they have the strength to counter them niiii. It will take 40-50 years when Tinubu, Atiku, babangida, Peter Obi of this world are no more that the new generations will have a rethink to rebuild this nation for job creation. Millions of graduates are home jobless. |

Truths9ja:Funds are not what elect governments. We the people elect governments. Our failure is an inability to organise and rally for what we want. And until we do organise ourselves, likely after the likes of the grandchildren of Tinubu, Atiku, babangida, Peter Obi, are tired of being chosen by us, we shall continue to graduate and be workless. |
| Re: Why Exactly Are We Going To School When We Know There Are No Jobs - Lady Asks by Truths9ja(op): 4:02pm On Jun 30, 2025 |
budaatum:A jobless hungry youths can never organise any rallies. He will first solved the issues of hunger before he sponsor any rally here. You seem not to know political settings in Nigeria. |
| Re: Why Exactly Are We Going To School When We Know There Are No Jobs - Lady Asks by budaatum: 4:26pm On Jun 30, 2025 |
Truths9ja:You make me laugh, thank you. No one is asking hungry people to rally. Nor is rally the solution to hunger or joblessness, nor will it enable us to elect good leaders. But I guess this proves the point. We can not organise ourselves because we are hungry, lol, which is why the food giving Tinubu, Atiku, babangida, Peter Obi are the ones we elect then wail that we have bad government and are hungry and jobless. Education is the solution to hunger, as it teaches people to learn what good leadership is and how to elect it instead of us ignorantly uneducatedly voting for a loaf of bread we'd eat today. We must perhaps not put our bellies first and vote for food, or we'd continue to starve till we learn. |

budaatum:all these things you are saying sounds very ideal but in today's Nigeria where we are divided along tribal and religious line,it is almost impossible to achieve. |
| Re: Why Exactly Are We Going To School When We Know There Are No Jobs - Lady Asks by budaatum: 4:38pm On Jun 30, 2025 |
Chief2410:I agree. Ideal. That's why we continue to be confronted with the realities of joblessness and hunger. The leaders love our division too, as it ensures we'd never organise to solve our common problems. Hunger and joblessness does after all not give a flying fuq about anyones' tribe or religion. My hope is that it stops being ideal, and we make it a reality. Until then, agbado, lol.

budaatum:I want a better Nigeria as much as you do but we are too divided to create that.The leaders have successfully divided us that the tribalism in Nigeria is worse than racism abroad. It is divide and conquer rule. |
| Re: Why Exactly Are We Going To School When We Know There Are No Jobs - Lady Asks by budaatum: 4:50pm On Jun 30, 2025 |
Chief2410:No leader divided me from you or you from me. It is our ignorance that divides us from each other, and that's for us to solve, and not some leader who reaps benefit from our ignorant division. One day we will cure ourselves of our ignorance. My hope is its before we kill each other first. |

ogascomax:The bolded ... you disagree that one goes to school to be educated then you agree. Which is it? My point was the purpose of going to school is not to get a job . It is to be educated ... with the education you can get a job in your field of study ... a related field or a totally unrelated field in which you can apply some of what you learned in school. As per your example....if you study medicine... graduated as a doctor ...but no vacancy for a doctor... you can use the same education to apply for a job as a nurse .... and if jobs are simply unavailable .... you can be self employed ....practice medicine at home ... not on the same level ...applying your education.... or you can give lessons to student nurses ... open a small school etc . If you don't feel like ...you can apply as a biology teacher in a Secondary School ...... all of which you can do because you are educated.... you have a variety of options. But to be sitting and waiting for a job....some for years.... that person is not educated ...that is one with a head full of information. |

budaatum:education is never a key to hunger. It's our mindset that needs to be changed. |

Truths9ja:Education changes mindsets. The more you learn the more your mindset will change. |

In those days when people finishes primary and secondary then were able to secure good jobs fewer people go to the university. The call for higher education became high when primary and secondary school certification could no longer help to secure those jobs. I knew people that used primary school results to enter NNPC, DPR etc. now it's not possible. Some people who do not go to high institutions will still perform more than those that went to school if giving opportunities to work in a some field. When you do your research ask people why they went to school? |

Truths9ja:Education does very much help with job creation. It allows you to see the possibilities that exist beyond the immediate horizon. If you educate yourself to be a doctor, say, you may start a business healing people, and hire others to assist you. If you educate yourself to be an engineer, you may open an engineering shop and hire others to engineer with you. Education, see, is the acquisition of knowledge. When Eve acquired it in the Garden of Eden, her eyes opened, and she gained wisdom, and she freed herself and her Adam from naked ignorant slavery from whence they went on to become self employed and populate the entire earth, it is written. And when a Gospel has it written that, In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was God, its basically telling you that worshipping education, or at least learning to read, is the beginning of attaining eternal life, or at least peace of mind in the short life lived on earth. Pity you'd think otherwise though. Its a damnation on the mediocre education dished out in Nigeria. |
