The statement in bold is exactly what I'm saying. School is meant to educate us but most people who go to school do it so they can get a job.

If there is one thing I thank Almighty God foris that my family could afford my university education in europe.

The amount of knowledge I gained was tremendous... And I realized why half of our youths back here in Nigeria today are VERY VERY DUMB

In Nigeria, We go to school just for going sake.. Nothing important is gained, we just waste years decieving ourselves.
Reading subjects that we won't apply in our life..
No real knowledge, profs collecting sex and bribe to pass students..



You have students that graduate but can't even use the knowledge they acquired.
Some didn't acquire any fucking knowledge. Just went to school because Daddy and Mummy force me to go to school..

Graduates that can't think outside the box
No wonder y'all can't create anything for yourself. Always carrying certificate to look for who to slave for chicken change you call salary.
What Skill did you learn apart from your useless certificate??
Can you send for yourself without slaving and hunting for jobs..
An illiterate can own a business and still hire you so called first class graduate and still pay you chicken change..
A word is enough for the wise
If you still think In This Nigeria that going to University is sure way of making it. Then get ready to suffer for the rest of your life.

You are clueless and literally have no idea what you are talking about. Education is power. Not only to individuals but even to nations - no country develops without investing in education.

A quality education is a price worth paying for - proved by millions.

That the state of the nation is pathetic doesn't obliterate the fact that the gateway to success and prosperity is Education.

The best investment ever is on education. Its priceless and more importantly transforms life positively.

Your view is completely ridiculous, silly and void.

Modified: you schooled abroad, so? I am not interested in that drivel. You sound ordinary and unpolished. I doubt if you are even educated at all.

Its a well known fact that our educational sector in Nigeria is in a sorry state. We don't need a thicko like you to tell us. Even at that half bread is better than none. As a matter of fact our unis are
Churning out brains yearly, so what's your exactly man?

Op ur talking as if all uni grads are useless, any parent who has d money to school their kids abroad will surely do but what of parents who even struggled to get their kids in d uni they are 2day? Some uni don't do practicals fine but u can always visit google nd youtube or register for online courses. Some businessmen in Nigeria schooled here so re u saying they aren't making their money or their business ain't thriving. Stop d generalizations

Use that money you wasted on University
And use it to pay for online e course that will teach and practicalize a high income skill and use the remaining money as capital to start your business..

nope then u don’t know the meaning of editing. Passing out information is different from editing . And it isn’t given , that is how it is

In Mass communication ,every editor is a gate keeper, an editor understands news value and the best diction and the most appropriate words structures that could be used to intrigue a targeted audience, so you see where I'm coming from?

If you aren't sophisticated with the print media, then you can't be a good news editor.

And yes, you can trust me. Lol

So how do we go about it?

Yes, foundation. I agree with that. But nothing beyond that. After you have the foundation, its now your choice to strive hard to learn more or you remain useless with a degree.

Everyone who has a good job today in Nigeria actually pushed beyond what they learnt in school. Some of them still went farther to acquire more skills.

Working experience in Nigeria is our own practical empiricism of when we learnt in Uni.

Exactly you get my point d school can't teach u everything. Sadly some youths aren't interested in gaining more knowledge for their career neither are they interested in learning a trade. They solely depend on their certificates

op that studied abroad, what have you invented or what solutions have you discovered in your chosen field of study? Na once dey take dey no who still dey chop daddy thank you. The only point you could use to boast was studying abroad, no mention of the grade you graduated with, your award and achievements while in school, at work or your business. You see that those Nigerian graduates are still better than you because most of them trained themselves and are still doing menial and odd jobs to fend for themselves.

You just proved my point.. All you do is read and Cram but never understand..

If you understood my point you will see where I said that I studied abroad..
I'm saying all these as someone who has seen how dumb today's graduates are..
They can't think, read and understand
So I keep wondering what is the rubbish they are teaching y'all in uni??
because Nigerian students some of them are lazy, they always expect you to spoon feed them. They don't carry out self study like their counterpart in developed world.

As in what is the point of going to school if they won't teach you practical things.
Not to cram text book up and down.. teach them how to create and invent equipments. SO THAT WE CAN START PRODUCING OUR OWN

We import radio, tv and 70% of electronics from China.. Do you know that it's high school teenagers that work and produce all those electronics in China..
What high income skill does an average Nigerian acquire after wasting 4 years in uni??
do you know UK import from China electronics as well. Even most of Europe? They might know how it is designed but would give it to a Chinese company to build and bring. That's why they had shortage of ventilators

He just demeaned the Nigerian educational system, nothing else.

And he isn't lying. You were being taught gibberish for huge cash. Lastly self education/development that's how we survive lastly.

I studied Mass communication, we weren't even taught on the prominence of creative writing, proofreading, copy editing, reporting. We were just given definition and explanations, what about the practical aspects? They just gave us stupid textbooks teaching us dumb histories, that won't help me in real life.

Just imagine if my university taught me how to become a perfect editor, with intensive practicals, I can proudly call myself an editor? Self development made me intellectual not the university.
it is the same thing everywhere. You teach yourself what you need to know nobody would that for you. Don't expect anybody to spoon feed youm

it is the same thing in Europe. You teach yourself all you need to know. You are also paired in your final year project to learn about team work. So is not peculiar to any country.

You are right and you're equally wrong.
Right about several Nigerian lecturers being ass holes and students studying courses that are oftentimes useless but you're wrong about the quality of education in Nigeria.

A serious Nigerian graduate can easily bag first class abroad especially in the States, I'm a saying this from experience.

Quality of education in Nigeria is not that bad, trust me. It depends on the school you attend or attended.

Proud Lion. cool

That very true,if you send 100 Nigerian students(First class graduates and 4 pointer graduates) abroad to study,i can bet that more than 80 will get first class.

No matter the country I might be I will remain patriotic to my country. There r many parents who hv the money but they prefer their kids in private universities, they rather just travel there for holiday and come back home ,,some is financial challenges. And who told you I hvnt travelled ?


I don’t know about u all but I can never base in the US or Uk , I love Nigeria . There is development there , but our way of life is better .

u meantioned creative writing, proofreading, copy editing all these are done in English studies but not mass communication for a reason .

Chizzybuna,what you are saying is very true but talk in a good manner.It is everyone dream to travel abroad but not everyone has the money.Thank God that your parents were able to fulfill your dreams and make you happy but that does know mean you will talk like a proud person she i don't blame you na our leaders i blame.
You said schooling in Nigeria is a waste of time that true for some people but not all.I know people that school in Nigeria and have traveled to different parts of the country which i think you have not visited.My uncle studying marine engineering in Rivers State University,today him and his family travel to any country they feel like going to,is RSU not in Nigeria ?
Was his going to school a waste of time and resources?NO!!!!!
I can't start calling all of them.
