Topic: Is education really important anymore for the Nigerians? (Read 518 times)

You are right that in all we do,it is important also to get education because education is what sharpens us and make us have a good sense of belonging.
The illeterates think they are left behind,but but I also see that when one has money,it also seems as if he or she is already because rich people have the highest voice in our society today.
And another thing, education without riches doesn't make any sense to me,I  better become uneducated and very rich,than to be educated and not be rich.However,having the two makes you more acceptable in the society today.

No matter how bad the system is or gets , ita advised one gets an education, in doing that be really so good at it that you can stand to even get qualified for a scholarship  abroad, moat tomes the opportunity you maybe looking for might not lie in your vicinity.

It's always good to give it a short, learning a skill along side too will really give you an edge to be double ready depending on which side of the coin life turns. Preparation meeting opportunity breeds success.

Education is really important

The fact of the matter is that education is no longer needed for you to succeed or get a good job even in companies and the civil service as what is needed the most is recommendations letter or who you know, corruption has eaten so deep into our blood that when looking for people to employ what is needed is where you are from and who is sending you to apply for the Job And even our government officials is not helping the matter as some of them don't even have certificate but they get elected to service in public offices creating the impression that school is no longer important in the country

Niger na our home,and we now know wetin good and wetin bad.We know now say education no longer matters as it was before.The goverment of our country prefer make somebody be a bad and hard man before he can get the recognition of the government,and that recognition can be gotten maybe after killing so many people or after terrorising a particular area to the extent that the government are now tired of his complaint,they keep peace with such individual by employing him.
These are what you see in Nigeria,and it has made academic qualifications useless.

Majority of people don't know the main aim of education, they think it is to get white collar job .education is very important in the development and growth of any nation.Even as individual we need education to grow , for our business , marriage and other aspects of our live .is just that we fail to understand the main purpose of education, which is to enlighten and we are always looking at the secondary aim of it.nothing is as important as education in the live of any youth and is the best gift father can offer to there children.

Well as me education is very crucial in the life of anyone whether there is employment or not. More over the primary primary aim of education is not employment but rather to train the inner man. Been educated makes to ur role and purpose to the society.people has being saying school is scam , because they don't know the primary aim of education .

Nothing can ever justify not going to school and say it even assume that education is not important. A lot of graduates are jobless and that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t go to school and have that knowledge. You may not use the certificate from school to make a living in the country but it is always worth it to have this education because the direction that the world is lead to, you must have that knowledge before you can get something’s to access today. We all know the country, most work don’t require you to be an experienced person in the field you’re to be employed in especially if not a too technical or professional work. Some work just require you to have a certificate then you can be on some months training and become knowledgeable which you can easily apply in the work.

Education for Nigeria still dey very very important, just say some people dey put work for front say education na for only government work but that is no, e pass like dat because even this forum wey we dey so if no be school wey we go wey we dey make living for here, assume say we no go skull dey come give us legendary account say make we manage we no go fit do am. I still dey encourage skull well well but I dey tell them say make dey no dey put government work for mine say if dey finish dey go get, no government work the ones wey na for themselves no be for people like us.

My dear, it's very bad that Nigeria as a country rich in natural resources would be having unemployment issues, I believe at this point we shouldn't be going through such issues and should be competiting with other developing countries in terms economical development but bad governance has corrupt every sector of the country.

 The issues of men in big positions in different industries trying to take advantage of young women even when they qualify for a particular position is getting alarmimg and many young ladies out there are victims but could barely speak up with reasons that they can't risk losing their job, they're also many that are jobless out there cause they refuse to sleep with their employers, it is very uncultured and why it's becoming rampant is because many men are beginning to lack moral values and self discipline.

 That's why it's good for students to acquire skills while they're in tertiary institutions, I've seen people who fall under the jobless category due to some circumstances, people  who are graduates with good graduate who didn't get the white-collar jobs they deserves that are benefiting from skills they acquired, the fact that the government failed to provide job opportunities doesn't mean people should easily give up and remain idle hoping for luck to come their way, nowadays technology has made it easy to acquire good skills and earn well online. Also I want to conclude that because the government has made education a caricature doesn't mean education is a waste, everyone still needs education atleast for more exposure.

It's bad that after graduation people don't find jobs that will enable them apply the skill set education has given to them. But the mindset of the some parents needs to be enlightened, for them to understand that educating your child the University level doesn't guarantee automatic employment after school, yes you can be lucky to find good job but there is no certainty. However education is a masterpiece that broaden your sense of reasoning for you understand that you can improvise and create a part way for yourself hence jobs are are not fought coming.

So for me, I would have advised the man to take a chill pill, because that education he has given his children is the greatest empowerment for them to easily navigate through the hurdles of the society and succeed, so with time he will begin to yield the fruit of his labour.

yeah education it's good but what's the gain after finishing then you have to go and learn a skill is that the purpose of going to school for the first place, our parents didn't want us to go to school and come back home and start another skills no. Neither they expect the government to provide a work for us in what we study in school that's the need of going to school, I'm not condemning the fart that you said that skills it's important in the society and it also under of seeking for foreigners in the country. Yeah skills is good but not after taking so much years in school.

Education is essential for all, its good to undergo training of the mind and act, Education is the change of act, its modify our behaviors, its help you to solve societal problems and make the society  better place. Nigeria Education is corrupted people pay for grade students that thought to be an example to those that didn't go to school are now behaving wayward with disgusting attitudes. Inspite of that, educate your mind and get a skills ,it will really help you after school.

However,  as much we need Education skills should not be taken for granted,  learn a skill it I'll really help to boost the economy of the nation, the government won't need to hire foreigners anymore to do a work, if the citizens has a special skills the government do go out to seek foreigners to do.

but e get some people wey go school wey better pass those one wey no go school, and get some people wey no go school but them dey live alright pass who go school viewer say the person get hand work. If you check the process wey dey for school matter and you come graduate you no come get work na that one be the major problem, and waiting pain me pass be say you wey go school pass through many things and person wey no even enter school but him/she family get money. Them go just buy chance for them and you wey suffer for everything you come dey run around dey find work, that na the major corruption wey we get for this country be that. 

I know the reason why you dey make this kind topic na because say u don tire for wetin you dey see,say people wey no go school go get better work pass people we go school by far,and this thing no just dey worry only you,but e dey worry everybody wey don go school wey no get work,because we all know the stress wey dey inside school,and when we go come back,and we no see any work to do,e dey really para people,na why we Don come this forum dey expect say we go gather knowledge from here try dey push ourselves smalls small because everywhere don cast.

this one way you talk so na one strategy way the Nigerian youth's no know about, no be to just enter school then come leave everything for your parents to handle no. First if you see say your parents finance status no too balance than na to learn work support yourself, because na waiting most of the students dey face now be this some done even drop out from school. And if you notice very well those set of people way learn hand work when dem dey school after their graduation them no too suffer for work today, why because them done get back up grand if the government no provide for them them still dey chop.

Dis matter really serious ooo, I no go lie school Dey very important even as we know say government no Dey provide job again, I know say plenty people wey Dey go school, na just to get better job if dem finish na him be there prayer, but education exposes us to so many things, even if we commot for school and job no dey, e no mean say we no go fit start up something ourself, make we no really Dey put am for mind like that say it’s a must to get government work if we commot for school.

Him no suppose regret say him send him children go school now, e fit never Dey useful today, but we never sabi how tomorrow go be so make him no Dey disappointed, because even d exposure wey d children get na something. The only mistake wey I know say d man make na say him for still send him children make dem go learn hand work even as the children Dey school, make d work wey dem learn be back up, if work never come, dem go Dey make use of the skills wey dem get.

The importance of education for Nigerians cannot be overemphasized. The major cause of underdevelopment lies with the high numbers of uneducated Nigerians. The government needs to invest at least 30% of its budget to education. With this improvement of the way of life and standard of living would increase. Improved education calls for paradigm shift in the overall mentality of Nigerians. And only when we have a development mentality, that's when we shall grow.

This issue of education I may not focused my argument on the work which many beliefs to be reason for education, because for me work may serve as secondary, education is very important as it changes the attitude if human in the society, just take a look at those who are educated in the society and those who are not you will find out that the margins is very far in terms of reasoning positively and adding value to the society apart from job especially those who passed through education and the education passed through them.

It hard to see a good educated person to serve as thugs or   it's mostly the illiterate that are easily used even in the aspect of taking some risk that happens in our society today like kidnapping, snatching of phones and some sort of hinious crime this are taut who hardly passed through the four walls of education, there perceptions always differ in conversation and what they always contribute as idea is destructive instead of constructive ideas. The value of education is far beyond been employed where education is limited their way of thinking is always  violence as they don't see alternative to Peace resolution in any matter arising on their table , but with education many way are there as positive idea will subdue the negative ideas that always create destruction.

The issue today why our nation is facing some level of challenges in making good decision is that people who are educated is not yet equals or greater than the uneducated once, because you can see how politicians use many uneducated to create violence during election which a good educated person can't concent to any bad idea that will be ill to his health especially the use of gun to chase voters while their own children are abroad, op I will assure you with your educational level you can't accept such in conclusion education is very much important and it goes beyond been employed it's a tool to reduce insecurities in a society and correct some errors.

we understand say school dey very important even if e no work Mr B e still good say make the person answer, the name of graduate and make the person get all the need able papers concerning school. So that should in case you go learn work something good for still come up for that your work, way you go need your school papers for so no matter how say e work for Mr A. Need go still dey for Mr B to go school because him need am due to the new technologys way dey come out new now, no matter how school still get purpose even if the government no fit provides work for the country.

I think education is very important because there is nothing we can ever do in this life that does not need smartness and literacy.Those who are not educated have a big task at hand in shapening their mental capacity to fit into the world.I know in politics today,most persons have now seen people who don't even have a degree get to positions that they were not supposed to reach,and that has made so many educated Nigeria get angry,but they can do nothing about it because it is now solely on connections and nothing more.If you don't know anybody in high political offices,then you might be limited to only remain at a particular place and not grow.But above all,I still see education as something very vital.
