I was in a car yesterday returning back from work, I over heard one man complaining very bitterly that he doesn't know where this country is heading anymore. That he got 3 children and he have tried his best he worked very hard to make sure his first son and daughter becomes full time graduated from anything concerning school side, says but it seems his efforts was wasted cause up till now the children haven't gotten good work with the good grade they had.

They have applied to many companies most of them will tell them to bring money before starting, and it's not a little amount of money that you'll just wake up and get it immediately, then his daughter had the chance to work as a government worker but one man with a big stomach was asking her to sleep with him before anything else. That he wish those times he was wasting time working so hard to trained them in school he would have rather paid for them to learn an and work.

But I saw it in news earlier this day's that the president tinubu is giving 5000, NATIONAL YOUTH SERVICES CORPS(NYSC) you can check it more on here

And with this it seems school it's important in Nigeria, cause if it's not important the FG wouldn't have be focusing to give out such amount out to the (NYSC). I know their are so many graduates at there not working yet. Do we still believe the government are going to do something about this work issues? Why not just be like as you're graduating you're working directly no wasting time. Wouldn't it be nice that way? I say make I try explain my mind. Waiting you got to talk about this issue?
In Nigeria Education is important but Education doesn’t determine that you’re going to make it or you’ll be successful. I hear a lot of people who says school is scam, but at the end of the day it important to learn how to read and write. The education isn’t a guarantee that you’ll get a job after school or after NYSC. The only importance I know about Education is learning how to read and write: when you finish school and you go to NYSC you’ll be taught a lot of things that getting a job is difficult here in Nigeria and you’re being advised to learn a skill.
How can someone finish school and you go to look for a job and they will be asking for 10yrs experience. How can a job opportunities be asking for 8-10yrs experience which I think doesn’t make sense for us. Getting a skill is more important that Getting education or undergraduate degrees
