A strange thing is happening in Nigeria.
A young man spends 20 years climbing the educational ladder.
6 years in primary school.
6 years in secondary school.
4 to 6 years in university.
1 year of NYSC.
By the time he is done, he has invested roughly 6,500 to 7,000 days preparing for life.
Then life arrives and asks a simple question:
“What problem can you solve?”
Silence.
Not because he is unintelligent.
Not because he is lazy.
But because somewhere along the journey, we confused education with certification.
We taught people how to pass exams, not how to create value.
Think about it.
An electrician who never attended university can walk into a building worth N500 million and confidently power every room from the foundation to the penthouse.
A graduate with multiple certificates may stand beside him unable to identify which wire powers the building.
One has credentials.
The other has capability.
The market pays for capability.
That is why reality often delivers a rude mathematical lesson.
If a graduate earns N100,000 monthly, that is N1.2 million annually.
A skilled technician charging N40,000 per job and handling just two jobs weekly earns over N4 million yearly.
Same country.
Different skills.
Different outcomes.
The tragedy is not that one earns more than the other.
The tragedy is that we keep preparing millions of young people for a race that no longer exists.
We celebrate admission lists like victory trophies.
We celebrate graduation photos like guaranteed employment letters.
Then we act surprised when hundreds of applicants compete for one vacancy.
Imagine 1,000 people chasing 10 jobs.
Basic mathematics says 990 people will be disappointed.
No motivational speaker can negotiate with arithmetic.
Yet we continue producing graduates faster than we produce opportunities.
That is like manufacturing keys without building doors.
The painful irony?
The people we once looked down on are increasingly becoming the people we depend on.
When your transformer fails at midnight, you do not call a philosophy graduate.
When your water stops running, you do not search for a political scientist.
When your air conditioner breaks in April heat, theory suddenly becomes less important than technical competence.
The economy has a brutal honesty.
It rewards usefulness more than status.
Nations that understood this long ago built prosperity differently.
They stopped asking only, “How many graduates do we have?”
They started asking, “How many builders, technicians, machinists, coders, welders, mechanics and innovators can we produce?”
There is dignity in intellectual work.
There is dignity in skilled labour.
The mistake is ranking one above the other.
A society that worships certificates while neglecting competence eventually discovers that framed documents cannot build roads, repair machines, wire factories, manufacture products or create wealth.
The future belongs to people who can solve problems.
Whether they learned it in a lecture hall, a workshop, an apprenticeship centre or under a mango tree is secondary.
Because at the end of the day, the market does not award marks.
It awards value.
And value has never asked to see anybody’s certificate before writing the cheque.
May Nigeria win 🇳🇬🇳🇬

This is Dr. KC Izuogo from Dept of Mass Communication at Abia State University.
He is very corrupt and wicked to students.
He teachers “Introduction to Advertising “.
Students must buy his handout for N5,000 and also sort the course with N20,000. If you don’t do it, you must fail the course.
Government should investigate him thoroughly now.
All evil lectures destroying our education system will be exposed and jailed.
They are the major causes of low quality graduates in our society today.
Dear president @officialABAT
The huge allocation you are giving to our governor and our LG chairman is not reflecting in the lives of citizens. Hunger and suffering still persist despite bogus allocations.
Is there anyway u can make common people enjoy ur government better?

@AAAlatishe The prerequisite for becoming The Awujale of Ijebu shouldn't be based on "He carried me along" However, I wish you and your candidate well.
@PDPRepublic Loosing Rivers State that has always been a PDP state to Opposition is not worthy of commendation. Stop sleeping on a bicycle. Wake to reality.
Formal Statement by Chief Ayodele Afolabi
I wish to express my deep concern regarding the repeated incidents involving the individual popularly known as DJ Chicken. Within the past two months, he has been involved in no fewer than three serious road accidents, each posing grave danger to the public.
Most recently, a life-threatening incident occurred in Sagamu, leaving a lady with serious injury and Only yesterday, another alarming episode took place on Kelly Street, where he nearly ran over several pedestrians. It was only by sheer providence and the intervention of a roadside gutter that a greater tragedy was averted, as the vehicle involved was almost completely destroyed.
Given this troubling pattern of reckless behaviour, it is my considered opinion that DJ Chicken should be immediately prohibited from operating any vehicle within any part of the country until further notice. This measure is necessary to safeguard the lives of innocent citizens and prevent future tragedies.
I call on the appropriate authorities to treat this matter with the seriousness it deserves and to take urgent action in the interest of public safety.

Dear @SenTedCruz,
You really have to understand that the numbers keep changing because this story is a hoax. First, the claim was that half a million Christians were killed in Nigeria last year. Then Bill Maher asserted, and you affirmed him, that 100,000 Christians have been killed since 2009. And then today, you have again reduced the death toll to 50,000.
Truth is constant. You know what is not abiding? Lies.
There is no Christian genocide in Nigeria. You have never visited Nigeria. You are really relying on hearsay. The Christian Association of Nigeria, the official umbrella body of the Body of Christ in Nigeria, has debunked this claim today.
Yes, people are being killed by terrorists and criminals. However, they are people of all faiths, including those without religion.
These enemies of Nigeria are killing Muslims, Christians and Traditional African Religion adherents. All lives matter, not just Christian lives.
These terrorists are a result of the fall of the Gaddafi regime in Libya after the Obama administration instigated a crisis in that North African nation. His foreign mercenary army metamorphosed into Boko Haram and ISWAP. Unfortunately, the same Obama government refused to help Nigeria fight them.
Even the sources that you cite, https://t.co/52bYuNvF5j, do not claim there is a Christian genocide. Senator, where did that word come from?
As to your claims that Nigerian officials are facilitating these killings, please note that three out of four service chiefs are Christians. The Chief of Defence Staff, Chief of Army Staff, and Chief of Naval Staff are Christians, and the Inspector General of Police is a Christian
Only the Chief of Air Staff is a Muslim. Given the above facts, if you, Senator Ted Cruz, know the Nigerian officials that you claim are facilitating a genocide against Christians, please name and shame them.
Finally, I reiterate my position that you should visit Nigeria on a fact-finding mission before making up your mind and sermonising about this issue.

Democracy allows you to VOTE ANYWHERE you are abi?
8. Okay, for 2023 elections in Lagos for example DEMOCRACY allowed the Ibos not only to transfer HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF PVCs from South-East into Lagos but to smuggle INEC voterr regulation machines into parishes of Catholic Churches EXCLUSIVELLY FOR IBOS to register.
That's also democracy abi?
9.. During Election in Lagos, since 2003, the Ibos will gather together like flies, bonded in ETHNIC SOLIDARITY TO VOTE.
Since 2003 in Lagos State they have almost always VOTED EN-BLOC to determine leadership for the indigenous people and this is what they do across Yoruba land.
With over 300,000 PVCs allegedly imported into Lagos in 2003 who will definitely deliver EN-BLOC IBO VOTES TO IBO CANDIDATES and with liberal-minded Yoruba men like you who will join them, in a free election, IBOS will definitely have at least ONE MORE GOVERNOR + ONE SENATOR+ 10 HoR from Lagos State added to the ones they already have in the South-East and they will NEVER let go.
I hope you don't deceive yourself that such elected men will go to the offices to defend the interest of Lagos at Alausa or NASS Abuja
NEVER!
They will defend Ibo interests.
We have seen it severally.
Betty Ada Ò-wèrè was just a Governor's wife when she practically held Ondo State hostage for her Ibo kinsmen.
We saw the HoR member of Oshodi-Isolo when he carried away to Ibo land all the benefits meant for Oshodi-Isolo people
We have seen where the loyalty of the current member representing Eti-Osa lies.
Is this the democracy you want for us Doc?
We should sit down like lame duck, hold the horns of the cow while strangers milk her?
Our Elders have a name for people who do that - DÌDÌRÌN.
10. And you know what?
These things happen ONLY IN THE SW!
Nowhere else in Nigeria does it happen.
The Obidient Movement of Edo WARNED the Ibo Obidients to stay away from Edo Guber Elections. The Edo Obidients didn't vote LP in their Guber elections.
Obi and the Obidients didn't bother to breathe in the core North.
Obi got an average of about 90% votes in the South-East. You think he was so loved? IPOB agents stood guard and threatened and beat even fellow Ibos who tried to vote APC.
Are you aware that at the Alaba International Market on Awori land of Ojo, IBOS wrote a constitution for the market union which PERPETUALLY DISQUALIFIED NON-IBOS from contesting elections into the Market Exco?
They did that in Yoruba land.
And it is so for ALL Ibo dominated Markets anywhere in Yoruba land
Please, what exactly is your idea of DEMOCRACY?
Are you saying IBO LAND should be exclusively for IBOS while YORUBA LAND must be available to be shared with the same Ibos?
Tell me please so I know exactly your mindset.
I am already of the opinion that you are either IGNORANT, HYPOCRITICAL OR CONFUSED.
Believe me, it took me great effort to be civil in this writing.
Thank you.
