Benefits of education in our country

[Foden]

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

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

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.

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

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

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.
