It is a popular saying in Nigeria- School na scam! It is believed by Nigerians that there’s no gain in going to the university. It’s just a waste of time and resources, especially because when you graduate there will be no jobs or economic provisions. This recent tenure has made things so much harder for the youths, even more than the past governments. It is as though the best way to survive in the country currently is by learning a skill or hand work (as we commonly call it) and saying bye bye to university.
Nigerians have made going to the university so mandatory but that it is not even the case in other more developed countries, even though better opportunities awaits them after school.
Nevertheless, some people also see the university (regardless of the bad government and economy) not as a scam but an asset or necessity. Because going to school broadens your experiences and intellect. It educates you on how to interact and think better than the lay man. So it is deemed fit if you want to be astounding in intellectual matters.
Omor what’s your take?
Anybody wey dy say school na scam just dy deceive himself, him or her no fit get a good job no mean say school na scam, in most developed world, the primary purpose of going to school is to get enlightened and if any other things come along with it na just bonus, so for you to get enlightened alone na one major plus wey you don take pass person wey no go school.
And if you dy talk about being successful, bro that one na different thing all together, because you must not go to school to be successful, anybody can be successful, wether them go school or not, but you need to go to school to be enlightened, to know what's up.
