Wizee: @Op Relax, u angry bcoz u've not goting a job yet.

validplanet: it really makes no sense to go to the university considering the fact that those that didnt go to university get more job opportunities than the graduates. there is virtually no work in the society today that cant be done by illiterates who just acquired their skills outside the 4 walls of the university, so whats the point?

take for instance, opposite my house here, some1 just completed a 2 storey building. and i didnt find any single graduate among the workers. the guy just went to lagos and brought some builders who came and built his house from foundation to roofing. all were illiterates who learnt how to build houses outside d university. d question is; why should some1 spend 5 yrs studying civil engineering in nigeria?

go to the mechanic village; all the auto mechanics there are illiterates. and some1 will spend more than =N=500,000. studying mechanical engineering for 5 yrs.

d music industry? i dont know their profiles but i can bet they didnt study music in the university.

fashion design? all illiterates.

i can go on and on.

i pity our unemployed graduates who spent their fortune and time acquiring university education only to come out to find there are no jobs for them.

peppy luv: And what is ur definition of an illiterate?
Literacy is all about knowing how to read and write and this is acquired at the foundation level ie pre-primary and primary and 90% of this people u call illiterates went to high school so does the fact that they didn't get into the tertiary institution make them illiterates?
You and I know that 89% percent of Nigerian graduates are not better than the people u call illiterates. They just go to school to answer graduate but they are more dumb than the school cleaners. If you hear most of them speak u wil bow your head in shame. Some of my co corp members especially a grl called oduayo, are worse than the villagers we teach,they use "him" for both male and female, the use of present and past tense is even worse. Imagine sec schl kids calling a corp member "village girl" even to her face!
Besides in camp we are advised and thought to acquire skills but you see many corp members feeling too big to do so but go to togo,even the bricklayers are graduates!
So,nobody is cheating anybody. There is no job specially made for graduates and non graduates what Nigerian youths don't understand is the dignity in labour! Be proud of whateva puts food on ur table,learn a skill,carpentry,tailoring or u call it design,you can go into farming etc
Most of the roadside mechanics are better than our graduate Engineers.

As for me I am a proud teacher and farmer. my frnds thought I was jokin when as a child I said I wanted to teach and farm but today they see it differently cuz of what have been hapnin in my life so far and they are proud of me cuz I am a teacher with a difference
You also knw the story of Bill gates so no need to for long story.
Bro rather than waiting for govt,pls do something for urself and if u feel the artists are making too much money then join them or stop patronising them.
My take!

Wizee: @Op Relax, u angry bcoz u've not goting a job yet. You have to b positive abt life, going to school doesn't guarantee u job bt is an added advantage. Hope u have seen 2/3 storey built by dis so called illiterates colaps! Why? Bcoz they can't diff btw a quality and quantity. Thats where d civil engineers cum in. Why can't this illiterates build skyscraper? So Relax

GBAMEST

peppy luv: Being an Engr with a 1st or 3rd class degree doesn't make u an expert cuz even your building can collapse too if you don't get it right

Wizee: Which building built by J-Berger, CCECC, etc; have u heard or seen collapse? Go to Lagos island and some other places that have skyscapers, u'll see building that has stayed for 30yrs and still standing strong.
