I asked because it is really disheartening. After spending lots of money in tertiary schools, one still ended up struggling financially and to get a well paying job. This sometimes makes one look like an illiterate to some folks.
No government in the world would sign contracts with any parents that once their wards finish school they would get jobs.

Going to school only increase the likelihood of you getting jobs.

Attending schools alone does not make anyone feel entitled to get a job. What makes the difference is the skillets -the knowledge- you acquire which you could apply to solve real life problems.

And let me add, the artisans are educated as well but informally. People that go to school are formally educated. They are both educated. So, if you can’t be educated formally, be educated informally but ensure you get the necessary knowledge to solve problems, otherwise, it’s a waste, and that’s where the key to getting jobs lies.

Some educated people not all, turned this world to become the worst ever, they actually destroyed this world instead of helping people.

What do you mean by the word "success" in this context?
In Nigerians' term; earning well, living large, building houses, driving big cars etc.

if you do not know what education is, how then are you asking "Is Education truly the key to success in Nigeria?"
From what i have said so far, you should have known that i know what education is. I only wrote the expectations of most Nigerians from students who are done with schooling.

Are these the words of ?most students who are done with schooling" or are they your words?

Success is not a number, it's faithful labour.

Good day, fellas. I have been pondering on this for sometime now. Is Education truly the key to success in Nigeria? Most of us grew up hoping that after graduating from tertiary instutions, everything would fall in place but after schooling, reverse was the case.
In Nigeria the key to success is politics and Agberoism. Education has been weaponized to turn you into an English speaking poor man who spent his resources on a system that rewards you with Slavery.
Once you graduate from school, Government tells you during your youth service that the labour market is saturated, for you to survive you must learn a skill through SAED. Encouraging doctors and other professionals to learn skill is just absurd when government can create more jobs. Sad reality.

Yes, education beyond the classroom.

In Nigeria, once your education doesn't make you financially bouyant or put food on your table, it seems useless to them. As a matter of fact, most of us believed that finishing tertiary institutions would make us turn rich over night, build our own houses and have our own cars. That was the drive we had that prompted us to tertiary schools.
Nobody that went to school believes that and you know. Most of us that finished tertiary institutions, believed that we would see a good paying job that will sort out our immediate needs and help us save up to enjoy a comfortable life. This belief isn't bad but because of the situation of the country (no good jobs, massive unemployment and underemployment due to Chinese, Indian and Lebanese companies that underpay their workers while overworking them and no action from relevant authorities like NLC, NUPENG, PENGASAN, etc.), people who were privileged to make wealth without going to school waste no time in attacking educated people.

There's a difference between Education and academic. Education is acquired everywhere (informal and formal). While academics is formal education. For crying out loud, dangote is educated business wise, every successful person is educated in their field. It doesn't have to be in the classroom( formal). Without education of any form, you can't be successful. So education is the key to success koz it gives you vital information needed to succeed in your field while academics doesn't always hold the key.
Nice. I love the bold very well. It's the reason I will always respect Peller. I don't have to like him, but I will respect him because he's good at what he does.

P.S. Your username is hilarious.
