Op. you just said my mind, infact you have said it all. sometimes, I dey thank God for this hardship wah dey this country because people have understand the importants of leaning one or two skills. one of the mistakes I made was going to school without learning a skill. but today i thank God for everything. when you check well today you will know that those that have skill is also doing very well this period of hardship. the way this country is going, my children will learn one skill each before going to school.

OP, you yarn better talk for here, wetin I wan add be say make people no go dey learn one skills or the other because say their friends dey prosper in it. Skills should be learnt based on passion and personality. you take inventory of yourself first and know what works for you and what you do effortlessly, that which you do with happiness, you go ahead and learn a skill in that path and your passion will spur success as compared to what you learnt out of maybe pressure.

One thing is to learn a skill, another thing is to be keep being relevant in the field. you need to constantly upgrade yourself in the career to keep up with the competitive market. if you just learn a skill without being updated, you will become irrelevant with time. So learn a skill and keep upgrading yourself in the field and you are set for sure success.

This na major problem my brother. Plenty people for our country no get skill and even though wey go university still carry theory full their head; no practical knowledge. If you wan check wetin I dey talk, call a graduate for electrical engineering to come do small electrical work for your house and see if him fit do am. Even the people wey study Mechanical Engineering still dey get issue solving small problem we dey connected to their area of study. I know say na our educational system.

For the Nigeria we dey today, na skill dey fit dey save people... the normal white collar job no dey work again. I dey pity some workers now self, especially the civil servants wey dey chop salary wey no fit buy one bag of rice.

I dey encourage every Naija youth to go learn skill because na the only way to survive. The skill wey fit pay in dollars supposed take priority sha because e get why.

I agree with you. Getting a skill a lot needs to be considered,  the world is changing everyday when searching for a skill to learn people needs to look for relevant skill, and needs to look into what the world really needs because this the best way to make money from the skill acquired.  Their are skill that are trending that will last very long and people will still be in need of it. The money which can be used to learn good skill shouldn't make people to change their mind not to go for it, no money in learning skill is a waste.  People need to understand that they will still make good money from the skill they learn.

I think we should send more of our kids and younger ones to vocational schools so as to learn good skills that real world impact, as compared to our outdated schools curriculum that teachers follow blindly.

Learning a skill means one has to learn something that is doable and comes easy, naturally to them. You can call it passion or love for that thing. It also has to be something that can earn a good income and is sustainable.

E no get watin I want talk now, wey pass this one o, because na so America take develop to watin e be today o!

Unless you also like taking orders or being told what to do always, then please do learn a skill.

Snr man I go disagree with you on this one oh! At the moment, people no really de reason if your work na white collar job or not like that oh! As a matter of fact, if you de do all these white collar job and money no gum you, people go even yarb you and them no go take you that serious.

But e get some skills when you go get when go give you mad money like this and you self fit create that white collar personality come even look sharp pass those supposed government workers.

And also know say to even get acceptance into those white collar hobs you are talking about, you need to be skilled.

If you like call it handwork, skill or whatever, it plays a lot of role in determining how successful your carrier will look like.

Truth be told u are partially right but for this country na everybody de complain about this job matter so. Job wey everybody de call job no be hand work because everybody wey go this school no wan end up as an hand worker everybody de find this white collar job because na wetin dem de use rate people pass for our society nowadays. Even if person wey get hand work de see money pass white collar workers from the packaging we go still value this workers pass the person wey de do handwork.

Omo even people wey dey burst brain academically de complain about scarcity of work to get work just be like luck and connection to me so e no really matter if you sabi or not but if ur connect strong work sure for you be dat. Hand work de really help but everybody still de find better work, the thing just be say make we just de carry our hand work serious as work no de now

Op, you done talk the correct thing way dey happen for this we country so, moreover now, especially this hardship period, pipo no suppose to just dey depend on only their educational results, make the also try to dey learn other skills join, mostly for their early age, because now I dey even see am am say, when person no gree learn skill for em younger age and when em don grow up to some extent, e go dey very difficult for the person to go acquire skills, because at that time the person head go just dey read money money money, and person way dey go learn skill no dey get money, that's nah other thing way dey make some pipo no dey gree learn skill.
 No matter anything, education or whatever, e good make person get skills too even if say nah only just one, like now for express road or for some street roads you go see some girls and even women way dey run transport with either Keke na pep or mini bus and some of these girls and women nah graduates, so just imagine say the women no get those skills, watin them for dey use feed? Con be say now way country dey hard.
So skills dey important, even if say you A1 for school , you still need skills to take support the educational certificates way you get, so that if school certificate no favour you, skills go help.

When choosing a skill to learn, always check your interest and try to ensure that the skill you are wanting to learn will be relevant and one that will be able to still remain profitable in the future. Some skills are no longer worth learning because their profit margin is now so small that you financial situation will not change even after you struggle to learn it. So you must be very selective in choosing a skill to learn.

Also do not be afraid to pay a huge sum of money to learn a skill, the benefit of a good skill far outweigh the cost in acquiring the skill.

You don observe say most people when de shout say job no de for this country na this two set of people?. it's either them no get skill or them get but no wan make use of the skill.

Even most of the graduate when de complain say work no de or government no gree employ them, if you look them well you go observe say them be people when no too take there studies serious or them just focus on there studies and no add a single skill to wetin them go study for school.

The society don really change a lot, and to be successful now, you need to be skilled at something and to also make the best out of your skill.

I know some persons when de very good at writing but them know no say that one too na skill when de fit use get one or two money, there own na to use am for Facebook comment section take complain about how work no de for we country.

There are others that are good at graphics, maths, hair dreasing and so on but they are not willing to develop it and will just keep criticizing and dictating errors from people doing those jobs.

There was a time someone needed a tiller for his house and told me to bring in some guys for the job, I contacted some of my school friend that are into tilling and when I took them there and found out the amount they charged the man for the job eh, my brain burst. That was when I give big thumbs up to all skilled individual.

The truth is that no skill becomes well refined when you've not started practicing it that much but ones you continue using it the right way, you will start improving on it and with time, people will see you as a lord in the craft.

No let any person deceive you, being skilled at a trade in today's world is the key to your success.

 Village people don de almost die finish and majority of the chances of you being successful is in your hands, so make the best out of any little thing you are good at before sapa will make mess of you.
