u meantioned creative writing, proofreading, copy editing all these are done in English studies but not mass communication for a reason . A news editor can be anybody good in English , I know of a friend who studied linguistics who edits short articles. But an editor is on a different level . An editor , edits both news , articles , books, speeches etc

Still haven't answered my question. How do we go about it?

I understand your point.I cannot imagine my child getting me arrested for shouting at him/her when they did something wrong.We are not good in technology but at least we have respect for our elders more than the western world

Ngl you're right… I wish I went to boot camp instead or just focused on learning programming by myself. I literally wasted time to get a paper I don't use.
Attend Uni, spend an average of 1M, use up four years of your life and end up with an average income of 70k-1m per month.
Learn a skill, spend an average of 100k, use up 6months and end up with an average income of 500k-2M per month.
Plus our education system is a big joke, Uni over here is such a hype.
pls sir, we need to personally talk. how do I reach you. thanks

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 yo.
the most painful thing is that none of these so called graduates and undergraduates with their exposure see the need to overhaul these fucking system of government in Nigeria.
we follow the zombie pathway,"graduate,if at all manage to get a job,marry,build a house,have children and die with an illusion that we achieved something in life..

YOUR PRESIDENT DONT EVEN HAVE WAEC AND HE IS RULING THE NATION..Hahahahahaha Keep decieving yourselves in that shithole

1. I didn't voted for buhari, as a matter of fact millions of Nigerians didn't either.
2. Our educational system is weak and inefficient, I agree, but Does that mean we should stop going to school?
3. You are assuming we Nigerians are some sort of dummies who enjoy voting incompetent leaders. No we aren't, in fact we are damn sick and tired of the whole vicious cycle.
4. I am not trying to defend our weak educational system here, but am just appalled by your level or poor reason and judgement. I expect better as from someone who schooled in the so-called abroad.
5. You do realize we produce some of the best doctors, technicians and the likes, so it is not as bad as you paint it.

I implore on you to be rational and reasonable when posting on a public forum.

Crap thread. You have a case to settle within you.It has nothing to do with schooling in Nigeria or abroad.

We have outstanding individuals that schooled in Nigeria making waves in abroad and we also have illiterates that schooled abroad with nothing in their heads.

It's about destiny, not about what you read. School is just there to expose you to challenges of life not actually to practise what you read.


Schooling abroad does not make you a great achiever but what you have inside you no matter where you studied.

Try and take your chill pill twice daily not once a week as you wrongly thought.

The op made some valid points even though he presented his pont in a shabby, prideful and arrogant way. Nigeria need more of vocational training and currently relevant skill acquisition centers that will focus more on practical and real life challenges than all those paper university course.


A lot of courses need to be totally removed from Nigerian higher institution curriculum and replaced with latest skills in vogue.

Nigeria need a total focus on human capital development programmes to create problem solvers, job creators instead of job-seeking graduates that our universities, polytechnics and colleges of education are churning out every year and littering the streets with more problems.



We need to build next generation to become more of problem solvers through technology skills, science, computer, etc.


We should have less number of art, social and humanity course cos they are useless to our current situation as a dying country that need urgent resuscitation cry

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
That is a different case
Yes, they import from China because China Provide CHEAP LABOUR
There are also electronics brands like philips, Siemens and co that are still produced locally but for most of the job to be done faster and cheaper you need Chinese workers for that.

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.

In Europe, education is very practical not Everytime textbook theories like in Nigeria.
If I was in Nigeria, I would not waste my life in University I will be a novice looking for apprentice because the education in Nigeria is in shambles..

Not those in Europe, because the education there is very practical and top notch. So yeah I will go to uni, only if it is in abroad..

nigerian eduction is not useless but then there some programmes and courses in nigerian universities dat need to be phased out or upgraded for example someone reading mining when there is no mines in nigeria.After reading such a course for good five years he or she now opts to work in the bank or become a bet naija agent because there no options for mine jobs in naija.i consider that as complete waste of funds.i cant just pay a huge tuition fees for five yrs just to become a bet naija agent or be selling recharge card online.why not just do a programme that u can use as an occupation when u graduate.thats just the problem with our eductional system.many of the courses in the nigerian unversities can never be applied in the job market.funny thing is that most of the school curriculum are still in the 1960s and 1970s setting.nigerian has to upgrade its university system biko.and again majority of these thugs working for politicians 99 percent of them are university graduates.u can imagine a polititcian giving u 5k to go and waste an opponent.what a disapointment.

If you say we have not got it right in the area of science and technology I will say you are right but mind you in the mix of all these, there are still some science and technology graduates who are equal to the task be it theoretical and practical so sometimes this whole thing is based on individuals. The reading of textbooks, journals, postulating theories will still remain in the Arts and Humanities and this is obtained everywhere in the world. So challenge those in government to look critically into science and technology and change the curriculum the graduate is only using what is made available to him with all other personal efforts not everybody is fortunate to study abroad. And again remember Nigerian education system was not like this in the 50ties, 60ties and 70ties. The problem is not actually the graduates but the present crop of leaders who has vehemently refuse to stir the country aright.
