In other words LET'S GO BACK TO THE 19TH CENTURY.

Our university Education system is not helping the country in any way.

Kbrule:


Are bricklayers and iron benders the ones that will industralize Nigeria?

Imagine. Nothing Musa no go hear for gate. So na bricklayers and iron benders go develop Nigeria? Na bricklayers and iron benders develop UK, US, , Japan, China, etc.?
Maybe we should start hiring bricklayers and iron benders in government, in our refineries, in our powers stations, even in our universities.

The most stupid suggestion I have ever heard.

Leave that nincompoop.... This is how someone that manages to learn how to fix I my neighbor Gen will be claiming he has more technical knowledge than Engineering graduates.

Adams Aliyu Oshiomhole as called for Artisans saying enough of University Graduates Seeking Public Sector jobs.

I agree with this 100%

Basketmouth don start to leak again oooo!!🥱

ivandragon:
That is a crude way of putting it, but Oshiomole is right. To industrialise, Nigeria needs more technical work force.

However, the socio-economic conditions and value system in nigeria does not give proper dignity and reward to such jobs, except on few occasions.

For ur mind na bricklayer go bring about the innovation

Yes, but when a young self employed man was doing uber in this harsh economic condition a member of the house of reps slapped the hell out of him... We do not respect those type of people in dis part of the world

Nigeria needs creative Engineers, Technologists and research institutes but our education and reward system does encourage this.

Who designed the structure iron benders and bricklayers are repeating its construction? Though sounds wierd, he is actually right.
So many utility programs have been oversaturated in the schools and labour market. Too many folks were "forcefully given" programs zoology, psychology, sociology, education or ng in their guest for the certificate.

Na fact he said here ooooo. Na the results of the future he Dey look and not present day we are living

The economy is like a Capucinno coffee. Where the rich, dark coffee brew sits under, while the white, sugary foam rests on top.

Most people that are doing the real work are blue collar, while the white collars ones are sprinkled on top, overshadowing the real heros that are engines of the economy.

Delete almost all the entertainers, newscasters, politicians, real estate agents, etc from my life and I swear I won't miss them, but the farmers, soldiers, bricklayers, drivers, cleaners will make everyday life crumble instantly.

Thunder faya you there , how many of your children are bricklayers.... Idiot

Exactly

It is shame if people don't understand what the Man is obviously trying to say

A great civilization works with artisans and great thinkers (puzzle solver's)

Make the few ones in those fields rich and wealthy first and wait for the subsequent avalanche by the youth in the direction.

It's not rocket science.

it is down to witchcraft mentality.

Is any of his children a bricklayer or iron bender.

skywalker240:

I agree with this 100%

You should also agree that Nigeria needs more cleaners, sweepers and labourers than graduates.

NOTHING BUT THE ABSOLUTE TRUTH.

Why? Do they want to build mass graves.?

True leadership is by example.

Yes I also agree with that

Add farmers too

Softmirror:


You mean the likes of Federal Universities of technologies?

The main problem is we Nigerians hardly want to struggle for the common good of this nation. We are mostly saboteurs. I can a heaster of a technical secondary school who told his students to carry almost all the machines and hand tools that was bought for the students by the Federal government to his house. He stole almost every thing. That's how it plays out in all sectors. WE ARE OUR OWN PROBLEM.

And what did you do?

Kbrule:


Are bricklayers and iron benders the ones that will industralize Nigeria?

Three things are evident from your question.

1. You obviously don't understand metonymy/synecdoche, so I can excuse your inability to comprehend even though the my reference to 'technical' work force should have given you an idea that the matter relates to blue collar jobs in general which leads me to the next point.

2. You seem not to know that blue collar jobs are the backbone of industrialisation. No matter how many tertiary degrees you have, no matter how many innovations you can come up with, you need people who can put in sweat and blood to do the 'dirty' jobs. People with technical know-how and special skill sets. Those people whom you take for granted which brings me to my third point.

3. You come across as one of those who raise thier noses against honest Labour. You see a bricklayer or mechanic and see the person as sub-human. You think they contribute nothing to the economy.

False. Great civilizations are a consequence of technological innovations in solving basic human problems, controlling the environment or in warfare.

ceejayluv:

You dey mind them? Mechanic workshops are getting scanty. Na who bellefull dey fuel or fix motor.

In engineering we have

Engineers

Technologist

Technician

Artisan

Different roles

We artisan design a building or pipe network, dams, bridges, will artisan design boilers, or mechanical system

madridguy:
How many technical college/school you build as a governor or as a senator Pa Adams?

very good question

These people are far from realities. The Bricklayers, iron benders and artisans don't have jobs to do, building houses now is a now a big luxury.
Even mechanics are getting out of jobs,

skywalker240:

Yes I also agree with that

Add farmers too

Hunters and fishermen nko?
