The adage (school na scam)by most Nigerian is becoming realistic.for a country to grow and develop,it most invest in is human capital.presently.universities, polytechnics and colleges are on strike.the educational system of the country is very poor.

Another problem is high unemployment rate: most graduate that are are qualified and ready to work,are not employed which is decrease the rate at which people go to school.
With the poor educational system of the country, skills acquisition and empowerment is also low which worsened the situation.

If almost all the Nigerians that graduate are not employed or are underemployed, that means schooling can be seen as scam, there are days of sleepless night to read in order to pass and, going to school will consume time and it requires hard work and yet no job after graduation. But school is needed to help in exposure and going through schooling can result to self-esteem.

Education in Nigeria is very cheap which is also where one of the problems come from including the government that do not focus on education, ASUU do strike up to 6 months at times and this can be another 6 months or more stike, ASUU and federal government are only there to waste the time of the future of tomorrow.

But because of this, we should not think not going to school, schooling is important to bring exposure.

So I guess it boils down on the government, every underdeveloped and developing countries have problem with education, even here in our country (Philippines), we have any educational program called K-12. It's because after graduation, it seems the the students needs more experience that's why they are extended and be qualified. Others try to work abroad and migrate because the job force is not enough here. Nevertheless, we still valued our educational system and everything starts from the government.

Lifting a book with the intent to read it. Would seem to be more difficult than lifting weights or manual labor.

Many believe only the government should have the power to encourage people to read or educate themselves. Learning and reading are such ferociously frightening topics. Only the greater fear inspired by governments can compel people to tackle them.

If we were crafting the perfect religion, reading and learning could be central pillars of the faith.

Whispers of the wise, valued over loud voices of the unknowledgeable.

I don't know much about the country, but from what we see from outside it looks like Nigeria is far better than many other African countries. There were super rich as well as people who are striving for a day's meal. A big volume of wealth is accumulated into the hands of few people. Education is a big problem, along with the same it has got corruption probelm which is the reason why there is big difference between the rich and the poor. Education is the only way to make things better for the future and the government needs to ensure everyone are getting educated.

There are reasons for most Nigerians that live in the nation to believe that education isn't working in the country but I tell you this now, the education and skill set you get off the four walls of an institution is very much vital to your existence. Not minding the poor state of its educational sector and the low level of importance ots given, there is a need for the education of every Nigerian youth of proper age.

It's never compulsory anywhere that once you are out of school, you get employed by the government or some other private entities out there as, schools equips you to be an emoyer of Labour too. That's why eve as a professional, your thought a general skill set so, you could afford some level of flexibility and can diversify. You can't afford being a stalk illiterate and expect yourself to compete so well in the larger world. Yeah, you can do well even as an illiterate but, you'll still need professionals to aid you in your management system.

Education is a necessity.

According to what i have read about Nigeria, it is a country with many natural sources, both energetic and non-energetic.
So I would assume that the lack of emplyment comes from the absence of proper investment to create jobs from the goverment or from private investors / foreigners.

I think that once more job places are created that should incentivize people to work, study and all this while the country income increases.
Perphaps the goverment could make the conditions more attractive for foreign companies to move to Nigeria? That is in the case that the countery itself does not have enough money to develop a plant to create more jobs.

I believe, one factor is the massive corruption in their country.
Why a lot of their people are experiencing poverty.
If those corrupted funds go to the development of their infrastructures and other industries.
I think, this will create a lot of jobs that can help their own people.
Education is also needed to uplift the standards of their people.
However, only few can afford to attain their degrees and change their way of living.

It might be irrelevant now, but with enough time and persistance, things can and will change. Nothing happens over night, especially in countries where that has been neglected for so long. But it can be turned around with some hard work and probably a lot of political power.

Nigeria is a country I live in and to be honest, I admit that things are really bad, most especially in the aspect of education and other basic things.
But then, a wise man once said "Stop asking what your government should do for you, And start asking what you can do for your government", imagine where at least, 80 percent of the total number of citizens of the country have this kind of mindset, our Nigeria will become a much better place to live in because instead of waiting for our government to provide jobs, we create the jobs ourselves and employ others, the government can not meet every one needs in a country of over 200 million people, it is important we understand this and learn to do some things for ourselves instead of depending on government for everything.

if i were you, I'd rather take it a challenge on myself to be a change agent and make things right, you don't have to criticize your country because no perfect place or country in the world, we all create a room to make the best out of the imperfection of our country, what seems to be the worse scenario in your country may be the least of what others are facing, ask yourself if you were there, aren't you going to do more worse and havoc than those in place now.

who told you that it's only those that went to school really make it in life? why dependent on the government, what are your two bare hands doing? find something creative, lucrative and solve a problem by creating a value that will cause a patronage on you and you become a solution that everyone will sought after than sitting down been idle and waiting for the government to feed you, wake up and source for yourself an alternative and stop complaining.
