Yes I know that education plays a vital role in our living and in our day to day activities but I would really want you honest opinion as a citizen of our country nigeria is education really worth it I mean these days we have graduate selling in the market it's absurd. The other day I entered a bus and the conductor confessed that he was a graduate of the great university of Benin and that he studied biochemistry I was really heartbroken not only because he was a graduate but because that particular department is actually very difficult

No matter how stupid or poor the economy has gone and drawn down to, education still remains a vital need to the younger generation. Yes there's no job but people still need to go to school. We have opportunities out side the country, you don't know when luck might be on your side and a chance will just show up, with you having the requirements you will be pulled out of the country. So even though there isn't work, people should still go to school so our government won't turn us all to idiots or fool. You can imagine what they already take us for? What more having more illiterates in the country

School and Education are different things - in our current society school is obviously a scam but you cannot take away the fact that education still remains as relevant as it has always been.
Even those that claimed not to have gone to school and are doing well, if you look at them properly you’ll noticed that they are educated enough in that aspect of what’s making them successful and that’s why they are able to do that thing.
We shouldn’t confuse education for school and school for education - in other economy they both might be of equal importance but here in Nigeria the are not and education is way more important than going to school - you can go to school and still end up not being educated (we have several people in our community or oven our close friends that were schooled but not educated).

Very very true there is a difference between school and education in our country
The current school system especially the high institutions(University) is not actually based on intelligence that is why we have uneducated graduates

The institution right now is only best for those that have a good cramming ability or that can reproduce exactly what the lecturer taught them - students of nowadays are not given enough room for creative thoughts, all the lecturer wants is that the child should go through their study material and when it comes to exam they should plagiarize it and just do copy and paste for them while those that go extra mile to make research ends up with bad grades because they presented things that went in the material the lecture provided for them.
The school system is gradually dying and the fact that those that don’t even go to school are out there making money is now acting as a catalyst for the crumbling of school.

Exactly take the university of Benin for example the current 300lv students in university of Benin have not spent up to.2 years in that school they just rush them, a semester in uniben is now like 4 to 5 months at best
When I was in 200lv I think my second semester was just 3 months its absurd how is that enough time to properly learn and understand tye necessary things that are needed then after the students have crammed there way to graduation people will complain that the doctors or the pharmacist don't know what they are doing
Sha better be eating well and eat alot of fruits because your future doctors are cramming what is supposed to be learnt and understood

Acquiring education is very important asides from getting a job it improves your cognitive reasoning and gives you a bit of exposure, it also improves your social skills as well, you need education for your personal improvement but in our country the system has made education useless. Just like this conductor you met there are a lot of youths that are graduates and still don't have a job, this has made the upcoming generation uninterested in go school they would rather stay at home and learn how to scam in order to make money. Education used to be the key but now it doesn't even matter. Some people prefer to just do business and make money from it because a lot of people that are graduates have nothing to show for. To get a job in Nigeria is by connection.

A society where money has become the order of the day. Everyone is only interested in getting money and nothing else. Even those who they've left in charge to take full responsibilities on educational matters don't even have a clue on what to do right. The so called ASUU Union, In what way have they be of benefit to the academic system. Instead, they only fight for the interest of their members, and neglect the students who are supposed to be the pillars of the nation.
To the extent that a well known governor in this country, sometime last two years said that everyone must not go to school, but he has children who are schooling overseas. Well, education in other countries is definitely of benefits to the nation, but I can't really say much about the country we are living.

Bro normally I won't say it doesn't worth it however Nigeria leaders has made education worthless, the country is in jeopardy and education is not longer what it use to be, i remember my dad telling me that during their time once you are done with what they called standard as of then you will get employed immediately infact he categorically told me that companies were looking for whom to employ, recently he told me that it is unfortunate that graduate don't get employed anymore because of the economic system of the country, when you mentioned biochemistry i laugh because i studied biochemistry too although i love my course because it helped me to know more about my health and other aspect of natural science but i cant boost of achieving anything through my course of discipline, yea biochemistry involves advanced organic chemistry with chemical structural illustration, it is the major cause that medical Doctors must pass to become medical practioners but nigeria is not a place for biochemistry graduates, there is no benefit of education in nigeria, no grafuate should wait for the government job to survive, personal hustle should always be our motor.

Yes, it is worth it, and I think education leads you to be in this forum and any other forum for discussion, an iliterate cannot read or write, so they cannot have access to such benefits; therefore, despite the harsh situation our dear country Nigeria is going through, I believe one day it will be better, and to make it better, and educative person with educative ideas will be used to bring the country back to the right path.
No knowledge is a waste, and education is the key to success, and it is the reason why most of us are here.

Where many Nigerians get it wrong is that they see education as a source of income and in this generation it really doesn't play out that way. Education is simply about discipline. If education wasn't about discipline, any one is supposed to be able pick up same books about pharmacy that are used from high school to the university read them and boldly say he is a pharmacist. However its simply not possible why?
Because there isn't a proof that you were disciplined in that particular field, you never took some tests , or applied it to show you were actually disciplined and committed while reading it as it very possible you were probably whiling away time pretending to have read them. Come to think of it , if education wasn't about discipline then it wouldn't be referred to as discipline too.

Ooo yes.
There is a saying that education takes place even in the kitchen. As for schooling /school is meant to be a place of specialized education, also not to forget character education (that is why certification would say worthy in character and learning).
However, most of our schools (high institutions) today are some thing else.
Very very true there is a difference between school and education in our country
The current school system especially the high institutions(University) is not actually based on intelligence that is why we have uneducated graduates
This is but hitting the nail on the head. That is so true and nothing but the truth.
Even when you are asked to explain something you better not try from intuition, word to word is the best answer for majority of lecturer (say 90-95%). Making it a painful experience and schools becoming a dead affair because creativity is the driving force of development and creativity is currently dying or even dead in schools.

The current bastardized state of the academic institutions of our 9ja doesn't make school a scam.. In ma opinion.
Also that we should not confuse education for school and school for education...
I think it should rather be
We should not confuse education with school and school with education.
Reason being that
1. They both has some kind of relationship (see no 2 below)
2. schools are built for special education (e.g biochemistry) and general social education (behavior/conduct etc) (as in other general education or basic all human education).
3.

i have gone through alot of users reply in this thread and everything they are saying make sense. Well just as most users said no matter the situation we are passing through in this country education still remains vital though our country is not appreciating it at all does`nt change the fact that we need education. What i will say is that one don`t have to focus on education alone as a student, as you are schooling find something to learn as a backup though it may be difficult to balance both still is the right thing to do inorder to survive this economy. There are good online skills one can learn to back things , But we thank God for this crypto space, because this space has help alot of folks and we all are aware of that .

Like as I said, education is important because many people are not in the forums because they can't write and have the reason to create content but those who educated, can write some and also create good contents. If Nigerian leaders were good for the citizens, I swear Nigeria would have been one of the best country in the world. And in any country education control the other sectors. If the education system is good then others can also do well.

Definitely, many can’t write nor read and without that you can’t even engaged in any online activity that you will get paid so how I they going to survive if no jobs . More so , education is a very important factor in our country apart from the jobs parts there are some other activities that deserves education.
A lot of jobs these days deserves exposure and experience and without education you can’t get those . It just because of bad governance that the OP thinks education has no values . We need better governance and our country will be a better place to live

They rush the learning process forgetting that the students would one day be faced with a lot of things In their field of study that would require a lot of knowledge. There are lots of students studying professional courses that are universities where the academic calendar is being rushed. This cannot help In building the intellectual level of the students, there are certain things they might be able to do in their career because they were not taught properly in college but this is not an excuse. As a student you must be always do a broad research so you don't limit yourself to what you are being taught in school only.

What do you think?
It is because of education that some people are able to read, write, and look for knowledge on their own because education is a form of refiner of knowledge, but you see that some school graduates are unsuccessful in the real world because outside educational knowledge there is also some kind of straight education that is required to be successful, especially when you handle a business. Education still remains important. If you doubt it, put both an educated and an uneducated person in the same room to express themselves, and you will surely be able to tell the difference.

From a majority of the replies I read on in this thread, it seems many persons are summarising education to formal education only which is literally schooling . Well education in-depth actually boils down to learning and improvement which can either be formal or informal and in the case or regular schooling where people are taught both formal and some informal knowledge.
Going to school is a good thing in that it disciplines you and makes you view situations differently from the way non educated persons will. It also gives you the ability and confidence to express your self in an interesting way. Going to school or rather formal school education actually doesn't guarantee your success in life rather see it as a way of preparing yourself for life and success. School Education isn't really appreciated as it should in Nigeria that's the more reason a ton of persons seek to deviate from the educational sector.

Like what my teacher usually tells us back then , he belike going to school or being educated doesn't mean you are certain to get rich , education is just there to direct you to the right path . That's why most time when an educated have the opportunity to leave this country they always go there and become some one really successful , that's why most good doctors overseas are from Africa , so education is very important.

Education is the path road to enlightenment, it sets the pace for development and everything we could think of that is well meaningful in the society today. It does not necessarily means that it makes one rich but rather, it gets one prepared, it gives knowledge of how to get wealth, it prepares one for the task ahead in getting wealthy ie being productivity. That is the extent to which education can be that useful to. In this part of the world, education is not valued and as a matter of fact, the elites sees it as a threat to them and that is why you see that they pay no attention to the education sector. They use it as a weapon against the masses to frustrate the people so they could remain in power and control the nation and economy as it pleases them.

As it is said, education is the best or most important factor in human life. Education has a lot of benefits. But the government of the day or in the country has damage everything in the country that education becomes the useless course in school. Last week when I went to Education board to check my name if I am qualified to participate in the upcoming employment scheme in the state, and everything was like zigzag. And one of the boy was angry and wanted to tear his certificate and since I was not from the field of study, I was not so I had to left. As was said, here in the forum would testified the goodness of education.

Yes I know that education plays a vital role in our living and in our day to day activities but I would really want you honest opinion as a citizen of our country nigeria is education really worth it I mean these days we have graduate selling in the market it's absurd.
Make the current state of the nation about graduates and unemployment make you ever think say education no worth am or you no need education to become successful for this life. Education get him role to play in your life and even as e no go put food for your table, e go help facilitate at some point. So education is necessary for us all to have.
The other day I entered a bus and the conductor confessed that he was a graduate of the great university of Benin and that he studied biochemistry I was really heartbroken not only because he was a graduate but because that particular department is actually very difficult
What do you think?
Every department is not easy, you can’t get that degree easily as you need to pass through a lot of things before it will become achievable. Just because he studied biochemistry doesn’t mean that is the end. We have also see people that studied engineering back in the street to hustle again. It’s everywhere and it happen to any course of degree.

Personally,i dont in any way find this unusual...i mean looking at the country we are in(Nigeria),the educated aren't really provided with the best in some areas considering the issue of unemployment,and where do this lead to?Intuitions about going into cyber crimes,kidnapping and malivious acts just to feed.We are in a country where the uneducated gives the educated direction to follow,i mean do our president have a credible certificate to boast of?
Anyways,whatever has an advantage also has a disadvantage attached similarly with the fact that whatever that has a disadvantage also has an advantage also.This applies to education,Education itself changes the mentality of a person,meaning how he/she thinks and react to certain things.In our country today,education helps in the areas of businesses both small scale and large scale,in our personal lives,and how we intetact with the world at large in the aspects of foreign matters.
What are your thoughts on this comrades

Education is the key to success but no be for naija at all, it was before, my boss where I work use to tell me that then in his time in 1970s and 1980s that the federation are just waiting for you to graduate and they hand over job to you.

Sometimes, it's best to be the smart one. Though I can't blame anyone for how they ended up as life can be different. As a student, going to the University to grab a degree for more than 3 years you should be smart enough to known that the country isn't going to provide a job for you. It's why I advice parents to not rush their kids into school immediately after their secondary education level. These kids should learn any skills something that can help them in school or after they graduate.
The reason as we know is that no know can predict his future. The student you saw working as a conductor literally didn't plan his life well at a young age. If he had learnt something like tailoring or barbing or any skill that young boys usually learns, who would have opened up a shop instead to survive for that period of time.. we just nedd to learn how to plan properly as the country is no longer friendly. You see that song back then, when they said school na scam? It partially was true.. just get your result and speak good English. If you get a job then you are lucky..

You really said it all . This our country is something else a degree holder will be a taxi driver some sef they will end up doing pos work it very unfair our government are not really trying . It a very good idea to allow your child to take part in any kind of hand job that will practically benefit him or her in the nearest future due to economic growth nowadays things are really rough to look for a handjob to learn you will spend more than what they usually spend before which back then some handjobs are free some will even be forcing you to come learn but now it getting hard to find .
It literally the best idea to look for handjob and learn before going to university you will even be lucky enough and be earning little money when you are in university.
But in addition opportunities might come so I will really advice you should go for both first or much better any one you see will be more successful to you cause everyone lives differ sometimes. Some might not be good at that handjob but really pushing through just to get it .
Our country is really screwed everyone is struggling to eat and survive we all are looking for better lives and not everyone will get the better life that just the bitter truth. The both sides are good but I guess hand work is much more opportune than getting a degree in this our current country economy

What more having more illiterates in the country
Certainly,i find this very attatching to read and i must say,this is very correct and applicable in our country today.
While people with a different mentality might say"school na scam"i strongly stand in opposition to that.
As you said"No matter how stupid and poor the economy has drawn down to,education still remains a vital nedd to the younger generation"
, truly efucation remains a vital neccessity to the younger generation.Education in its own way helps shape the mind of an individual,how people think,how people interact,how people talk and the rest of that.You can see that education itsslf is a vital need,especially in the Nigerian society.Need arises,you certainly wouldn't know if it's that certificate that would take you to countries and put good bread on your table.
Or do u know?

When you're educated, it affect the entire way of your thinking, it changes your mentality and approach over doing something, you will act different from those that are not exposed or being educated because you know what you're quite running after, same also applies if you're doing a business, it reflect in it that you're educated because things about your approach will definitely looks different from others.

Indeed, An education does modify a person’s worldview where he or she can analyze and decide on certain occurrences. Education enlightens us, provides us a way to reason and judge events and situations in different facets of our lives. We get conscious about the kind of future we want and this way helps us live our lives more intentionally. In the same way in business arenas where education is an indicator of our preparedness to make more decisions structured and mature.
Because of this education, those of us who are also educated are likely to have a wider perspective in reasoning whenever we are solving issues, and this will be well seen in the running of the business or any work. This attitude is erected from a better premise of the goals and procedures averted; it makes us mores strategic and versatile. This puts a rather large divide between those who work on the basis of knowledge or better yet, insights and those who can barely call up experience. With education we don’t only go for success but also guarantee the right effect of every move made towards change.

That cannot be a lie, education plays a big role in people’s lives and is in fact one of the corner stones to success for anyone. But, the current experience in our country has left many people in disappointment especially when the education system that should be a mechanism towards enhancing welfare feels so irrelevant. This is a nice example of peoples’ expectations regarding education, for example, when employment opportunities seem to disappear or when bureaucratic procedures appear: However, it is still imperative to appreciate education because, at least there are still many doors, which can be opened in the future through education. This means that we have to struggle for the reforms of such system so that education again became the key to the opportunities and better future again.

That is so sad, i believe that if everyone can do the right thing, the country will be a better place. Additionally, free and compulsory education to every person in Nigeria can help soften the hardship. This idea has been successful in improving access to education and reducing the number of out-ofschool persons in the country

Making it compulsory won’t solve anything - it’s not everyone that wants to be involved in education some wants to learn a skill and they don’t have to go to the university to do that.
The only thing I see that will help is if the cost of good education is reduced so that those that are passionate about it can afford to go to school - right now, to get a good a education isn’t that cheap unless you’re looking for an average university that isn’t up to standard.

School and Education are different things - in our current society school is obviously a scam but you cannot take away the fact that education still remains as relevant as it has always been.
Even those that claimed not to have gone to school and are doing well, if you look at them properly you’ll noticed that they are educated enough in that aspect of what’s making them successful and that’s why they are able to do that thing.
We shouldn’t confuse education for school and school for education - in other economy they both might be of equal importance but here in Nigeria the are not and education is way more important than going to school - you can go to school and still end up not being educated (we have several people in our community or oven our close friends that were schooled but not educated).
I agree with you on this because critically looking at Nigeria we have thousands of graduate coming out of the university every year with nothing to boost of than the paper that was given to them which they mistake for certificate, the truth of the matter is that because of the orientation system that was given to the Nigerian population especially the young ones that going to school is the key to success in life that is why everyone wants to go to school and come out with a certificate which they can use in working tomorrow and that is where we are getting it wrong because there is a big difference between school and education
We as a nation is producing graduate who are not enlightened and prepared enough to face the wider world because of the lies that have been told them that you going to school will solve all your problem because not everyone has to go to school to succeed infact to me the highest level of school someone should attain is secondary school because as far as someone is literate enough to read and write that person is fit and ready for life what is next is for the person is to go and educates himself on relevant skills that will prepare him so he can use it as a source of income, there are allot of school dropout who are doing better than the so called graduate because they have educated their self in relevant skills and developed their self enough to face the reality of life that those who attends school don't have

That is so sad, i believe that if everyone can do the right thing, the country will be a better place. Additionally, free and compulsory education to every person in Nigeria can help soften the hardship. This idea has been successful in improving access to education and reducing the number of out-ofschool persons in the country
I hear you say free and compulsory education, does this exist in our country? I have not seen in Nigeria were education is free not to talk of compulsory. If it were compulsory, what agencies are responsible for enforcing the compulsory education for all drop out children? Have you taken a walk round your own street during the day to see for yourself children hawking at school hours? if education were to be free, would they be hawking at that time of the day to sell?
You talk of free education, have you gone to the government primary schools to ask the children question? If you come in contact with any of them ask them if they pay school fees then hear for yourself the response you would get.
Nothing in Nigeria is free anymore, you must pay for everything. The government are just there for being a system, they have failed the ordinary citizens that can not afford to live a good life.

We always find ourselves trapped in the assumption that receiving formal education is the only way out, while in real sense it is only education that prepares us for real life. Our priority would be to help educationists in the development of theories for preparing our children for world of work and life experiences. Actually, it is arguably what increases chances of survival and success in the job markets especially in a dynamic economy.
As educators, many of us have lurched through a curriculum that has failed to address industry demands for graduates, with many young people left with no clear idea of which way to turn. We as a nation need to cultivate an appreciation for skills based education from a young age where basic literacy is sufficient to start from and with specific course relevant skills ,one is able to have an independent and sustainable life.

Yes I know that education plays a vital role in our living and in our day to day activities but I would really want you honest opinion as a citizen of our country nigeria is education really worth it I mean these days we have graduate selling in the market it's absurd.
Don't follow the lead of those who claim that education is a scam, because many young people are now telling one another that education is a scam. I understand how poor our nation's economic condition is and how it has affected the educational system today, but that should not discourage us because education is still as important as it has always been. In my opinion, now is the right time to support our educational system because it is the only way we can alter the future of our nation, otherwise, we will wake up one day to find our economy completely in ruins.
I understand how upsetting it is to see a graduate suffering after all the effort and money they invested in their education and not get support by our government but that doesn't mean we should give up on learning, learning should be our top goal in life.

As it stance now for naija apart from answering the name graduate no too much need to go school far as u sabi read and write for me no benefits at all. Hand work is 10 times better than education currently.

Don't be discourage by the current economic situation or system, actually they are a lot of graduates that are unemployed, and it has been discouraging a lot of citizens, that they are seeing educational system as scam, we don't study for the sake of being employed only, it is also for our own growth and development, by acquiring knowledge you will be able to make the right decision and also think wisely by involving yourself in some lawful work that you will be earning a living, or invest in something which will be profitable for you, or set up a little business that will be beneficial to you, Without waiting for government work. Education can impact a lot of goodies in someone's life.

It is unfortunate that the system and situation of things has gotten this bad that graduates are just left to their own fate. Things has messed up really bad that nobody thinks of education as the alternative means anymore. Education is now a thing of the mouth and nothing more than that.
Education is still valuable because from it comes enlightenment, exposure and other things that could keep us abreast in life and society at large but on other to survive the situation of things currently, one must have a backup which means having a skill from which you can fall back on for survival. These days white collar jobs are already taken by the high and mighty, the power that be already secured it for their children and lots more. So I can say that going to school only gets you prepared for the journey ahead but in other for the journey to be a successful one, you must have something attached to make it scale through smoothly.

Where many Nigerians get it wrong is that they see education as a source of income and in this generation it really doesn't play out that way. Education is simply about discipline. If education wasn't about discipline, any one is supposed to be able pick up same books about pharmacy that are used from high school to the university read them and boldly say he is a pharmacist. However its simply not possible why?
Because there isn't a proof that you were disciplined in that particular field, you never took some tests , or applied it to show you were actually disciplined and committed while reading it as it very possible you were probably whiling away time pretending to have read them. Come to think of it , if education wasn't about discipline then it wouldn't be referred to as discipline too.
The only benefit that one can actually get from education presently now is your ability to read and write and it helps you to sharpen your character by way of changing your perspective of things that is the benefits that one can currently get from the educational systems that we find our self in because the circular environment outside the school is entirely a different world of it own that one can comfortable survive without getting educated and in Nigeria of today it's who you actually know and your educational background doesn't matter

The importance of education cannot be underestimated. The problem is many persons summarize the whole concept of education to only formal education which is not supposed to be so. The system of formal education is quite retarding in this present era based on the fact that it seems more like it's value seems to have reduced to an extent.
Formal education has its positive impact on a person. To summarize it all education is just a form of discipline in any field and in the case of formal education I think it helps you properly analyze the situations as well as solution. I think you are there behind formal education is to actually make you be able to view situations differently from the average joe.

It is the potential for increasing one’s chances at a better future, beyond merely being literate the education facilitates the Individual to gain life skills to survive the outside world. It is true that with the current system and the way it has been developed, one may never feel that they are really prepared for the difficulties, challenges that they can be faced in real life but I strongly believe that the goal of building better understanding and character is not totally meaningless. For education to be more relevant, we would want to have curricula that are more relevant to needs of society, and setting in which merit is rewarded rather than cronymism. For this reason, it is possible to make a foundation for a just and productive society.

Yes I know that education plays a vital role in our living and in our day to day activities but I would really want you honest opinion as a citizen of our country nigeria is education really worth it I mean these days we have graduate selling in the market it's absurd. The other day I entered a bus and the conductor confessed that he was a graduate of the great university of Benin and that he studied biochemistry I was really heartbroken not only because he was a graduate but because that particular department is actually very difficult
What do you think?
Education is the key the word "key" used doesn't mean with education you will be rich, the mentality we are facing now in our country is many thinks education is only a place where riches lies, which is wrong
We need to have a second thoughts go to school and learn many things, and also make skills priority learn hand work, have small scale business and be hopeful to make it big one day
Check other countries where teenagers are making their country proud making of memory cards we are using today, but here many thinks with degree they are successful, some even reject jobs of small token thinking they are bigger than salary

As it is said, education is the best or most important factor in human life. Education has a lot of benefits. But the government of the day or in the country has damage everything in the country that education becomes the useless course in school. Last week when I went to Education board to check my name if I am qualified to participate in the upcoming employment scheme in the state, and everything was like zigzag. And one of the boy was angry and wanted to tear his certificate and since I was not from the field of study, I was not so I had to left. As was said, here in the forum would testified the goodness of education.
That cannot be a lie, education plays a big role in people’s lives and is in fact one of the corner stones to success for anyone. But, the current experience in our country has left many people in disappointment especially when the education system that should be a mechanism towards enhancing welfare feels so irrelevant. This is a nice example of peoples’ expectations regarding education, for example, when employment opportunities seem to disappear or when bureaucratic procedures appear: However, it is still imperative to appreciate education because, at least there are still many doors, which can be opened in the future through education. This means that we have to struggle for the reforms of such system so that education again became the key to the opportunities and better future again.
Gone are the days that education is the only hope of a common man, the government have made it more harder for the son of a nobody to graduate and get a job based on his area of profession. Lack of job opportunities due to bad government and nepotism is a big challenge to graduates who don't have any skill in them. Currently, the world is all about creativity to survive and not education because when you are creative, you will be able to put food on your table without depending on the government, and if possible employ someone. This is why those that only depend on what they studied in school finds it difficult to live a better life since there is no job on that field for him. Education gives us an edge to make something out of nothing with our exposure and to also take advantage of the opportunities around us.

Education is good because it helps us in different ways. It is through education we acquired that we dey use am here too because if no be education we for no fit type anything for here. And for those wey dey here na di benefit be dat. Education na very important thing for human life. But we need to know say if u get real education, u no go like many things in dis world. So those people wey I know wey educated well well e no like many things even around them and di government dey contradicting themselves.
And another thing be say, people no like education because after finishing the education from schools their hopes and many who sponsor themselves in school having di hope dat dem go get job but things even around. That is why People say education is scam.

The fact is the role of education in any society can't be overemphasized as it's the building block of any progressive nation and society any nation that wants to be among the top performing Economies in the world should take her education serious, Nigeria as a country is not a serious country that is why they are not prioritizing it education that is why we are having Economic and social problems in the country because we are playing politics at the expense of our education with graduate Left with out work, I still personally think that education is still important in the country even though to securing a a job is by connection and who you know but still yet education is still the way forward for any country that is determined to be part of the progressive world

Very very true there is a difference between school and education in our country
The current school system especially the high institutions(University) is not actually based on intelligence that is why we have uneducated graduates
The problem we have in our education system is that we don't give priorities to the the core values of education that is to improve and enlightened once self and not just the certificate because currently in the country what everyone needs is the certificate nobody will like to know how you get your certificate or if you have what it takes to have that certificate academically that's why our university graduate seems to be having problems in the society because they only have theoretical knowledge of what they studied and not the practical aspect if we are to make any way forward then we need to prioritize practical knowledge of our cause of study

I think this has been the problem with our Academic sector. So far students are only trained in the theoretical aspect of education with no practical knowledge. Little wonder you see graduates that can not really function in practical aspect of their field because they have no knowledge of what they are doing as the system in which they passed through did not expose them to practical all they know is talk and talk no physical exploration from them and this affects them because the chances of getting a job would be minute because it would seem as if they are inexperienced. This has made me wonder the possible reason why employers always put up years of experience on their vacancy so they do not encounter graduates that are inexperienced in their own field.

Apart from the medical field and agricultural field that are science related, no other science related profession in our universities that do go for practicals in school. Nigeria is only more concerned on theory and that's why things is not working in our country, because the law they read, they don't practice it.

The educational structure here has already been designed in the theorical system that has been passed to this generation years back and so far that's what was used by the colonial masters to deceive us because they know what would become of us of we go dip in to practical. This is why you hardly see any full technological manufacturing industry in Nigeria as our academic sector can not produce or have any qualified experienced instructors to oversee or supervise activities or production.
The foundation of our academic sector is in shambles, imagine the huge number of graduates our universities are churning out every year you would wonder the organisation or government that could be able to accommodate such numbers.

When education is one of the pillars for change in any given country then the people of that country have a better chance to bring about the desired change. If we look at the information we acquired, then we have to realise how this can be used to bring in a level of cooperation that will lead to future development of the environment. Education creates opportunities for each person to have a role to play in different sectors of endeavours; creativity, cooperation or support to other’s needs. The idea of togetherness that cultural hybridity fosters ties us in a single thread of vision that seeing each action we employ as building up the fond hope of a better and more purposeful future.

Education really helps and promotes both the citizens and the nations in all. Education brings a lot of opportunities and ideologies to the people and more so it helps in bringing everyone in the nation together to learn and understand things very much better. Education really brings a lot of jobs opportunities to the country, it reduces lack of knowledge and helps to promote nation with better and understanding citizens. Citizens with idea and knowledge to add more value to the nation and bring more supports in times of inventions. It brings about peace and harmony every citizen will be United as one cause of education.

When we have people educated in a country, it will aid the fast process of its development in the recent technology advancement, this may have to begin with the set of leaders henceforth we may be choosing, those who will be interested in allowing for the use of digital opportunities for doing good things in life, the people as well will be happy on receiving any new development introduced because they know its for their own good and advancement.

The only benefit that one can actually get from education presently now is your ability to read and write and it helps you to sharpen your character by way of changing your perspective of things that is the benefits that one can currently get from the educational systems that we find our self in because the circular environment outside the school is entirely a different world of it own that one can comfortable survive without getting educated and in Nigeria of today it's who you actually know and your educational background doesn't matter
The slogan 'Education is the key' motivates many to pursue education, hoping to secure better job opportunities and achieve success. However, some individuals face disappointment after completing their education, as they struggle to find employment.
This leads some to feel that the education system has failed them, leaving them with significant debt and unfulfilled expectations. Many graduates invest substantial amounts in their education, only to find that they cannot recoup their investment due to limited job prospects.

It is a very sad state the situation the country is. The other day I was discussing with my friend while we were discussing talking about our past school life and my friend paused for a while and was very sad. I asked him why he was sad, he told me that if he had known, he would have set up a little business and allow it to grow before chasing academics and that he was advised to do so looking at what is before the country as it relates to unemployment and lots more but he paid deaf ears and now he is regretting it that after all these years, he has not gotten any job and no business at hand and things has been very funny with him, I felt sorry for him but I had to cheer him up. Although he has not been around for a while but just returned back from where he thought he could earn a living but could not get anything tangible from there. This is the extent to which things has gone wrong in the country and it is only through aggressive intervention that things would be properly fixed up in the country.

Education is one pf the reason that has brough us together i this light, when we are exposed about something, we are definitely going to be informed about what constitutes that same thing, education will also helps a country to know its weakness and work towards improving on them because they know what could be at stake regarding that, education is light to the ignorance of the people in other to get informed about a particular thing.

What do you think?
That was a problem for you because of how we view education in Nigeria. We believe that education is the key to getting a job, especially if you have a good grade. This has caused people to study for good grades while neglecting other activities that will help them succeed in life. This becomes apparent after they graduate and are unable to secure good jobs. At this point, the majority of them begin to look for other options, such as learning new skills, in order to survive.
Regardless, education should not be condemned because it will only produce men of civility, which is what we require to interact effectively in society. Education has changed the lives of many people because a well-educated person is limited in the types of activities he can engage in because such activities are frowned upon in society. The fact that education develops sound minds is a significant benefit to a country.

It has gone so alarming that the schooling system in Nigeria has nothing to write home about. Going to school is to fulfill the fact of knowing how to read and write, and probably have a certificate at the end of it all, yet not all that gains the knowledge of how to read and write.
But, when it comes to education, it is not completely narrowed to obtaining good grades and certificates so as to secure well paying jobs. Though, this is what we have been told and brain washed to understand. In school, we are being caged to see education like that, and it is a system to groom workers that will be paid based on the grades attached to their certificates. Which makes it an issue when things doesn't go as expected after graduation.
Education is thinking out on the box.

Education is thinking out on the box.
One of the reasons why people do not find work after graduation is the large number of people who graduate each year. Everyone wants to go to school, even those who should be learning other crafts. As a result, there are far more graduates than there are jobs available, and the competition for the few jobs that are available only benefits those with high connections.
There is need to review our educational system. Our educational system must be set up so that students will have a skill before they graduate. Combining education with skill development is necessary, particularly for non-professional courses, so that a student can begin earning money both during and after school after graduation. This will reduce the number of graduates who actively look for work.
-
Education is worth it here in Nigeria. We need to change the trends and narratives. The main aim of education is to develop a sound mind in a sound body. Not getting employed after school doesn't invalidate education neither should it question the essence of schooling.
Education will make you knowledgeable enough to carry out your business different or even see opportunities where there's none. The problem with Nigeria is poverty and lack of conducive environment and enabling environment for educated people to explore their potentials in entrepreneurship and beyond.

You have a point its taken more like a theoretical thing than a practical thing. However still it's not zero practical facilities like engineering do practicals and it's compulsory and an open book exam for most universities. The practical courses are major courses but still, truth be told the practicals are still not enough. Most times it's because of the illness of the system.
You find out that in most cases people put in place are not willing to teach the practicals properly and in cases where they are willing sometimes there are no sufficient equipment and facilities to conduct these experiments.

Many people went to school hoping to get a white collar job, and when that expectation is not met, they condemn education and everything else they were exposed to through education. People must change their perspective on education in order to appreciate the fact that it brings enlightenment.
This enlightenment enables an educated person to survive in any situation. Such a person may not live in luxury, but they can deal with daily challenges in a rational and reasonable manner. As you mentioned, poverty and a lack of a conducive environment impede the many things an educated person could accomplish without working for the government.

Apart from the medical field and agricultural field that are science related, no other science related profession in our universities that do go for practicals in school. Nigeria is only more concerned on theory and that's why things is not working in our country, because the law they read, they don't practice it.
You have a point its taken more like a theoretical thing than a practical thing. However still it's not zero practical facilities like engineering do practicals and it's compulsory and an open book exam for most universities. The practical courses are major courses but still, truth be told the practicals are still not enough. Most times it's because of the illness of the system.
You find out that in most cases people put in place are not willing to teach the practicals properly and in cases where they are willing sometimes there are no sufficient equipment and facilities to conduct these experiments.
Practical is what we are really lacking in our educational system because most causes are thought theoretically in our universities and this is due to unavailability of the practical equipment that is needed to carry out the the practicals so that the students can understand, government is not doing well in the areas of funding the education sector . Personally speaking am an advocate of vocational training and education has it is the best form of education because it equip the student to have a skill that will be of benefits to him or her

Obviously, the Nigeria academic sector is built on theorical aspect of education which only focuses on classroom activities. This is a foundational problem in our academic sector because from the primary school, there is nothing like practical al theories throughout graduating students with little or no knowledge of what they have learnt practically.
We all have gone through the primary school system, secondary and tertiary with no field knowledge except for IT or SIWES as it is fundly called. Even at then, not every thing that is being taught for there to be impart but a repetition of what they already know and nothing new.
The academic sector is in a big mess. Little wonder parents that are well to do are sending their children overseas for studies because they know the system here is no more working properly as it is.

You are right although theories are also useful you still can't underestimate the importance of practical applications of those theories. We've seen many cases in formal education where students are enable to practically carry out what they are thought in theory and that's simply because they are not used to operating those things in real life rather it's more of assumptions.
Currently Nigeria education does not create a system of zero practicals rather the available practicals are just not enough to compensate for theoretical teachings and asumptions.

Theories can not be underestimated but the theories itself needs some physical function which would real impart the knowledge it is meant to hence the reason for a practical class. For example, in home economics, classes, we were taught about food making and ice cream production back then in my secondary school but the practical aspects of it we do not know we only heard but we did not see so the teaching was not complete because the two processes needed to be undergone as at that time. Not only that, there is another subject called intro tech we were just taught, but did not do any practical, same as agriculture and biology.
I think the government should give into this aspect of education and making sure all schools including the tertiary institutions formulate a curricular activities that could equate the theorical and practical aspect so that the educational structure and system would be a 50 50 basis so that students who are not good in theories can perform well in practical vices versa, ceteris paribus.

Education is the key to success but no be for naija at all, it was before, my boss where I work use to tell me that then in his time in 1970s and 1980s that the federation are just waiting for you to graduate and they hand over job to you. But now even graduate do wetin undergraduate supposed dey do pass them sef.
The problem is that the sentence education is the key to success is something that people have actually coined down to the concept of education being a source of income or you way to make money but that isn't the case in reality. I think education is more of an exposure giving you the ability to perform properly in reality or real life situations.
Education is more like an edge to making things easier for you. Aside from all these it actually creates some sort of opportunity that allows you to maximise based on experience and skills.

You have truly captured the essence of education. However, no one should be blamed for viewing education as a means of getting rich because that is what everyone is taught about it in Nigeria. When parents mention some educated people who are successful in terms of their jobs and pay, a child attending school develops the belief that he, too, can achieve such heights if he is educated. Well, it is possible but it is not a must.
A child who has hold strongly to that believe will no longer sees any other benefit of education besides the fact that it can make him wealthy. This is a false foundation that people have built in their minds, which is why it is common to see an educated person lamenting when he is unemployed because he believes that he is educated, and so entitled to be employed. We should begin to educate people about the true value of education so that it can be appreciated in Nigeria.

You really nailed it here, many people have this misconception that education will make you rich and wealthy yes it is good to say but do you think just going to school and graduating would give you a job in this modern day world that would make you that wealthy?
Education is just like one being enlightened about the society and their scope of work or engagements. Education has multiple dimensions of view but all points towards you been knowledgeable about things and keeping you prepared and focused in achieving your goals. It is just like preparing for the opportunities ahead of you.

Exactly. Another thing that most people fail to see is the fact that education is a broad term and as a result it constituties both formal and informal forms. This is basically where people fail to see their differences. Majority of the time people generalize all forms of education as formal education and if you check formal education is the one with the most flawed these days.
What needs to be fixed is both the target aims people have in mind about schooling and the problems of formal education too.

I hope you wont mind if I post in this topic even though I am not Nigerian of from your region. I only want to share my vision and experience of education in my country and I hope it maybe be useful.
Education in my European country is identical in every school. Same classes, same centralized exams. Even though there are top of schools and people figure out somehow which school is stronger, and which is weaker, everyone study with same books. The idea of education in our country is to learn basics as a secondary goal, and primary goal is to make contacts with people. Knowing useful people or useful positions, that can «help» you, that is what education about. For example my classmates: someone is in government, someone have a high position in bank, someone works airport terminal, someone is at customs. Knowing all those people give me some indirect benefits.

Our education only teaches facts. What we pass down from generation to generation is only established knowledge, which makes education boring because even when those facts known as knowledge are acquired, the person sees no use for them because obtaining a job with that knowledge is not guaranteed.
We need to develop our education so that people are taught to think outside the box. Graduates who can think outside the box will be less likely to look for work because they will be able to easily introduce something new to society, allowing them to create wealth. If you look at the list of the wealthiest people in the world, you will notice that it is made up of people who, at some point in history, thought outside the box.

Education is worth it here in Nigeria. We need to change the trends and narratives. The main aim of education is to develop a sound mind in a sound body. Not getting employed after school doesn't invalidate education neither should it question the essence of schooling.
Education will make you knowledgeable enough to carry out your business different or even see opportunities where there's none. The problem with Nigeria is poverty and lack of conducive environment and enabling environment for educated people to explore their potentials in entrepreneurship and beyond.
Many people went to school hoping to get a white collar job, and when that expectation is not met, they condemn education and everything else they were exposed to through education. People must change their perspective on education in order to appreciate the fact that it brings enlightenment.
This enlightenment enables an educated person to survive in any situation. Such a person may not live in luxury, but they can deal with daily challenges in a rational and reasonable manner. As you mentioned, poverty and a lack of a conducive environment impede the many things an educated person could accomplish without working for the government.
Yes what you said is true majority fails to understand the meaning of education and as such its primary purpose. They are just focus on you must get a white collar job after being educated. An educated person is someone who is refined to be able to get or actualize his purpose without medling with the right of others and without breaking the laws of the country. Education is the best thing that can happen to any person, a person without education will find it difficult to survive in the society. Mind u education is only the one we got from school. We have formal and informal education

That is what we were all brainwashed into believing. What do you expect from children when they are told that education is the key to success? Certainly, they will grow up believing that once educated, they have already achieved success in life. This is analogous to telling a gold miner that if he digs, he will find gold, only to discover that there is none. The miner will be disappointed.
This is how it feels when you finish school and are told you can not get a job with your certificate. However, this can be corrected at home and in schools; children should not be given the impression that in order to thrive, they must be educated. If this can be corrected from the start, we will not have people hoping to find work after school, which will significantly reduce the number of people enrolling in school.

Yes I know that education plays a vital role in our living and in our day to day activities but I would really want you honest opinion as a citizen of our country nigeria is education really worth it I mean these days we have graduate selling in the market it's absurd. The other day I entered a bus and the conductor confessed that he was a graduate of the great university of Benin and that he studied biochemistry I was really heartbroken not only because he was a graduate but because that particular department is actually very difficult
What do you think?
Seriously speaking education in this country is not really worth the hype, coz come on the present day educational system heavily rely on outdated curriculum in teaching their students imagine a university student learning or being taught things that are meant to be taught in the primary school. How can the students ever be current. Come to think of it Nigerians totally please less value on informal education is is far more better than the present day educational system. Did you know that basically most of what is been taught at the university even with the hike in school fees I can easily be learnt online, there are numerous platforms like YouTube, etc where one can learn most o what is taught in the Nigeria University, seriously speaking if being a graduate isn't a requirement for most of the high paid job out there most people win Nigeria wouldn't even give it a thought about going to a Nigerian university.

There is need to review our educational system. Our educational system must be set up so that students will have a skill before they graduate. Combining education with skill development is necessary, particularly for non-professional courses, so that a student can begin earning money both during and after school after graduation. This will reduce the number of graduates who actively look for work.
What I understand the point that you are trying to prove. What you mean is that the population of the graduates is more higher than the work/job that is available, that is why people find it difficult to secure a better job, well you are actually right from your perspective, but as for me I don't think that is the case, government is not just ready to shine their eyes, they know that the citizens such as youths, poors and graduate are facing a tough situation in the economy.
so it is the responsibility of government to create more job opportunities as they know that the number of literate individuals is increasing day by day, because I'm very much sure that the government is aware of that, as evidence by the conduct of regular population censuses.if the government are not aware of the trend, then what is the essence of conducting these population census.
I agree with the part that you said our educational system needs to be review honestly, because a lot of people are losing interest in education, making them to think that education doesn't worth it, because of the disappointment that a lot of literate individuals faces after graduating from colleges or universities.
-
For a country to be developed economically, socially and in all round aspect education is a must, you need trained individuals to run a country and you can only get that through education. The problem with Nigeria is that the government do no longer regard education the same thing with us as citizens. Back in the days people that graduated with first class no dey find work na when they graduate job dey wait for them but now graduate with first class make you no go hussle for work that person go cry. Critical government positions that is supposed to be filled with well learned and brilliant individuals are being filled throughout connection, tribalism instead of using individual that are capable for the position na those wey get connections come they get the job this those not occur in the government sector but also In the private sector.

Education is important for all human beings both the young and the old . However from my own opinion, I don't think the education being given out in this country is really worth it, I had a conversation with a fresh university graduate sometime ago and he told me things that really shocked me, he said that the knowledge he has today wasn't gotten from depending on the lecturer, he got his knowledge from consulting YouTube and other social media platforms where he listen to foreign lectures who dissected series of topic which most of his lecturers couldn't do, he told me that most of what he was taught where topics he did in his secondary schools, he told me how outdated most of his course outline was, infact his conclusion was that education in this country was a total waste of time and resources.
Receiving Education from other countries is much more better than the education in this country, you can never compare a forwign trained doctor, with most of the so called professionl doctors in this country. The educational sector should really work on improving the school educational curriculum fin order to receive better and newer knowledge

The issue with our education is the mode of recruitment. People who have no business teaching are hired to teach simply because they have a connection, which is one of the reasons our educational system is in disarray. Consider hiring someone without knowledge to impart knowledge; what do you think the person will teach? Nothing.
Such people read materials to students without explanations, and in the end, students are forced to memorize lecture notes without proper understanding, leaving them with no knowledge of the course, and this gap created by a mediocre teacher continues to affect them after school.

This is the reason why we say that until corruption is delt with in Nigeria we can't experience any meaningful progress and development because corruption has eaten deep down into our system that and we can't develop in a state that is charactarized by corruption because when it comes to the issue of job recruitment due process is not always followed but employment is done by who you know so the teachers who is not qualified to teach is the one that chosen we must as a matter of urgency tackle corruption if we are to make progress

I also sometimes ask myself, how a system can work properly, when even the most basic value of honesty is unimportant. Whenever every choice is made irrespective of performance but owing to proximity, it is only reasonable that the outcomes will be poor as well. I believe, change is possible, but it takes courage for many people to say "enough" to ingrained habits. As you may see, it is not necessary to have immense power to begin with; sometimes it can be just in refusing bribes or being lenient to people who want to bend the rules. If more and more people will take the straight path, gradually the system feels compelled to change the situation. It's not easy, but it's not impossible either.

Yes, when you said benefit of education in our country, i would say it is bad and those not have any good benefit impact on the life's of the citizen's and also is not something to pursue about, especially on this bad regime we are in now when people are suffering from poverty and hunger. The only benefit education will give the people now is that it will train them not to live there life's as an illiterate individuals but rather it will show them the way and give them a second thoughts to know what is right of them to do and not depending on there education thinking it will be the reason for them to secure a job in a company or institution NO. And if in anyway they secure a job, i will rather say it was gotten by the way of opportunity for them, and not by there hard work, because there are so many individuals who are illiterate enough and not to be even a job or work in some company talk-less of occupying a position that will be ahead of you that as gone to school and acquire some certificate, that suppose to have given you more opportunity and position more than them what would you say about such individual that obtains certificate by name, by power, and not by there hard work. The best thing now when you have money that would be used to go and study, may be additional qualification it's better to just used it and have some little idea on were to invest it and begin a simple business with it. it is better than wasting it in education.

I agree with you because if an insect is always eating crops on the farm there will not be much growth on the farm except those insects are tackled first and to tackle it is not by going out to look for it but is about handling it on the farm, so that's how they need to tackle the corruption we have on this country because corruption is like an insect that's eating up everywhere and as they're being allowed that's how it is spreading and expecting growth in the country with all this insect on it is very difficult because even the ones someone labour corrupt people are there to disrupt.

Do not forget that before the insect invaded the farm, the crop existed, and the farmers were the ones who planted the crops that attracted the insect to invade the farm, the crop is ever enticing to attract the insect and there is nothing the farmer can do about it but rather to put up preventive measures which would resist the insect from further attacking the crop. At first, there should be a review on the country's constitution because that is where the problem lies, and when that is done, the next step is to make sure the bad eggs in government are flushed out through voting them out of power and the bad heads in government retired from office. This can only be achieved when the electorates are united in taking the course of voting them out of power. Then we can say that we're heading somewhere otherwise, the country will still be the same way it is.

Now the farmers who knows what to do to stop the pest 🪳🦟 allowed them to eat the crops deeply and now to stop them became a problem business buyers of the crops from another country will not allow the farmers to stop those insects and allowing the insects to destroy the local farms and they bring in theirs from the foreign lands. This one idiomatic expression and I have made the general language version in another thread today.

Truly, corruption have eaten deep into the minds of people to the point that people wants anyone who goes into position to be corrupt. It is becoming an aberration to see an upright person. It is this mindset that have left us at a crossed road without a road map.
It is bad that what we passed on to generation is corruption. The irony of the fight against is that those person who champion crusades against corruption are corrupt. This makes it difficult to get better outcomes in the fight against corruption.

Obviously, they ate the crop so bad that the yields are very poor and that has affected the economy of the society and it is still happening till date but would need intervention much tougher than we could imagine to totally eradicated the insect and pest from further ravaging the crops again and this the farmer would have to do because if the farmer does not put this into consideration, it would be a thing of generational attack on the crops and as we can see, it looks like some pest already inhabited on the farm land waiting for every planting season so they could easily feed on the crops. We must say no to godfatherism and the rest of the others that are causing all this mess in society today, for peace to reign and normalcy to be restored.

As I don talk am before, education in Nigeria has nothing to do with employment again. But it is good to have the knowledge because you can use am doe many places. So when you dey go school make una dey study well so that things go better for you in the future but if you stip because of say work no dey again, you go face difficulty in the future. We don dey see many people like that in the world.

What do you think?
Regardless of how bad a country is, education is always worth it, it's absolutely good to be educated and whether you find a job at the end or don't doesn't really matter..
The true issue or problem we have as citizens of Nigeria is that we have programmed our mindset to believe that our only reason to be educated is to get a government job or get employed by one big company at the end of our education, no body seems to be thinking that their reason for education is to build their own business empires.
This the major reason why we see graduates doing dispicable jobs just to survive.
I am brining my children and getting them educated, and I am training them to have a different mindset, that is, they should believe in themselves and not in the system, I make them understand that my reason for sending them to school is not for them to start looking jobs after they graduate, but for the to build their own big businesses that will employ alot of their fellow graduates.
A simply mindset like this is just what we need for a better society.
