Is school really a scam?

[Jerrycrypto2024]

Here in Nigeria, we normally use this term “las las school na scam”. Now the question is (is school really a scam)
Many people in Nigeria after spending six years in junior and senior secondary and four to six years In the university we end not doing what we studied in school. I’ve come across a master degree holder pushing wheelbarrow in the market just to survive.

School is not really a scam but like my mom always say “go to school and hold your papers”. You may finish school but find it hard to see a benefiting work to do. You may still finish school and see work to do.

Above all governments should should job opportunities for people to work that way Nigeria can or may be a great Nation

Op this popular saying for naija here is well oo but watin I want talk of a truth, any where Belle and head face dey straight but I will say for the school matter is not straight. Person wey never suffer watin illeterate passed through way go conclude say school na scam. That person go school no means say him go rich over night but him advantages to the global world plenty pass person wey no go. Because school here include primary, secondary and University. Look nothing one is doing without applying little knowledge gather through these learning stages one this is sure school no go favor every body but know knowledge is waste even you today can testify that your doing most things because of how your exposed to some level of knowledge.

In my own opinion school is not a scam but due to how things are being done in this country and how a graduate are being treated in this country Nigeria,in this country graduate are being treated like an illiterate, while an illiterate are being treated like a graduate..in my country today employment is not about your educational qualifications rather it's all about your connection....

This is a complicated question, and the answer may depend on the individual's perspective. Some people argue that school is a scam because it does not guarantee success in life, and it can lead to a lot of student debt. Others argue that school provides a valuable education and opens up opportunities that would not otherwise be available. Ultimately, whether or not school is a scam depends on how the individual defines the term. For some, it may be a way to gain knowledge and skills, while for others, it may be a waste of time and money.

The argument that school is a scam often focuses on the cost of education and the lack of guarantee of a job or financial success after graduation. For many students, college is very expensive, and they may end up with a significant amount of debt. In addition, there is no guarantee that a college degree will lead to a job or a higher salary. In fact, many college graduates end up working in jobs that do not require a degree. However, others argue that education is never a waste, even if it does not lead to financial success. The knowledge and skills learned in school can be valuable in many ways, and can help individuals to a promoinent person in the world...

I come in peace to this side of the Board. I like to be alone on a cases like this because what I think is always differ and different. When someone USED either in knowledge or in monetary dealing or others it becomes a scam. Now what is scam? From the connotation meaning and not the denotation meaning, in connotatively, scam is when you have been used by another person and the person run away. In other words you do something to someone to get rewards but irony was found from it. Someone take your things and run away, someone chase you away because he is stronger than you when you have been used. And before students tagged education as scam, they have experienced a lot from it and they can't just tagged it has scam. Poor parents send their children to school to be educated and come back to the society and help humanity through the help of the government. Most of you have forgotten the core purpose of the colonial masters to create formal education in the country. And 1954 educational system and it reform and  the 1954 educational setting was carried.out in the first Republic in Nigeria, do you know that the Northern part of the country was against education? Here we are talking about education and not graduating from school to look for job. Before people say "Education na Scam", it has meaning and reason, they are not just saying it. It is the duty of the government to provide enabling environment for business and other personal services to operate freely and in return tax will be paid back to the government and also it is the duty of the government to address the "Macro Economic Deficiencies". And the government is very happy keeping man in perpetual poverty. How many graduates in Nigeria are successful on their own? Some time when discussion like this come to the scene, we should not just dash in and say anything but calm down and think the cardinal points of the argument.

Here we have the dictionary meaning of scam.

Now when you look at these now you would understand that, the education that is given us too is a scam because the real education not giving to us. And the government nis not interested to help us again after the first and the second Republics. Do you know that people spend a lot of money in school and finished school. For more than 10 years, they have not gotten 1,000,000 in their accounts so you want those people to say that school is a good for them. Normally life no supposed hard for Nigerians youths but the government make everything hard for us. Even cryptocurrency dat we dey use am dey manage, government banned am. It is only those who really understand education have the likewise feeling. The core meaning of education is no more in Nigeria. And that cause the clause " School is Scam". Some people are saying if you were not educated you won't come to the forum, I laughed. Well according to an Educationist, "Your Destiny is in Your Hands" "you can become anyone you want to be if you wish it life. You don't have to blame anyone because your destiny is with you and not with your parents". The government has defrauded us through education.they deceive us, they said, we are they leaders of tomorrow. Who is president nownad how hold is he?

Not at all, school is never a scam. This slangs is born out of people who don't know the purpose of it Myles Munroe said "when purpose is not known abuse is inevitable". We are in  a world especially in Nigeria were people don't care about your academic qualification but rather your riches or wealth you possess, even those who rich and wealthy still looks for those to manage their wealth and riches.

 School is not meant for everyone, it's meant for those who want to acquire knowledge, developing the power of reasoning and judgement and being a professional. In life, knowing your purpose is very important. If going to school is not your purpose in life or you have other purposes in life doesn't make school a scam

School no be scam for my place ooh, school na another way of building your life, let us forget about the government first, if you are well educated my brother you will dey different with person wey no go school even your wiseness go pass him own, although we know say for this our Nigeria wey we dey so government no dey give people job and many graduate dey do Okada and all those hard work, but we should also remember that our destiny no be the same, you fit graduate now make you get  work first people wey Don graduate pass more than 10 year's, so na waiting you go think be that.

But u still dey wonder why some of our graduate dey push wheelbarrow, I want to ask, those people really study the way we are doing this days because if you are well educated you must have another way of building yourself or having another business that can help you to achieve something, I know that we are not the same but let check this out very well, did those people who are wheelbarrow pushers really study well because before when you have a good result no matter how you must get work, not now that everything Don change.
