fowowe411: I give up on you.Can't you make your points clear without attacking my personality? I can see you are a free-thinker indeed.Well I refuse to be intimidated by this your choice of words btw it is a free point.The main thing is you can't understand a simple write-up.what is in philosophy that I don't know? I did philosophy for over 2 good semesters as a borrowed course no doubt the course is rich in knowledge but my point here is what's the demand rate for them in a country like Nigeria?.All am saying is govt should cut the rate at which these people are being itted.if my words looked so cussed to you am very sorry for that. You said u did philosophy for almost 2 semesters and you are claiming you know it all in philosophy am sorry to tell you that you know nothing about philosophy Philosophy is a course a student would study and would never regret in his life I love philosophy |

BTW, no contradiction was in my post.thank you.......and your ion wasnt born out of succesful educationist you saw around you? Probably someone in your family i guess......you used DAPO as an example so you probably had role models that made you choose EDUCATION....the same as the people choosing MEDICINE and LAW |

We all have different missions,visions,callings and tallent. All courses are worth studing,all u need do is to study the one one that u will b fufilled in. The mistakes we all makes is that we aim at going to skl so as to a good job n a good job,there is more to that than just studying a course.

caye: 1. Russian To Mr Caveman and others u mentioning the below aforementioned courses as useless and irrelevant shows your dim-witted reasoning sorry to say. If u really studied in UI and u dont know the importance that the city of Ibadan places on Agricultural related courses, then methinks u dont have any idea of what u r saying here. I did my college education in Ibadan and even i knew the 'rep' people who read these courses get. Ibadan has more than 6 agricultural world class research institutions amongst which are IITA - International institute of Tropical agriculture CRIN_ Cocoa research institute of Nigeria NISER- National institute of social economic research FRIN - Forest research institute of Nigeria IAR & T amongst others My younger sister had A1's in agric and economics and B3's in all other subjects for her WAEC. instead of her ing the flock to apply for med and surgery, i adviced her to study agric econs in a federal uni in the east which she did and graduated with a high 2:1. she was lucky to serve in Ibadan and then posted to NISER where she did research for her NYSC (no one influenced this). After service, she got an EU scholarship to do a double mastERS degree in agric bioengineering, environmental policy and development economics...she is in europe and from all indications she aint coming back as there are so many ph.d studentships,scholarships and jobs for people who studied courses with agricultural content in their field and are ionate about it. The most important thing is wherever/whatever u study, create a roap for urself and most IMPORTANTLY, think far....Dont let naija be the limit of ur thinking/horizon. There r scholarships/opportunities for every course in europe if u package urself properly .Google erasmus mundus masters courses and u ll see scholarships/opportunities for all courses Its so unfortunate that in naija that due to the underdevelopment of so many industries and the man-know-man mentality people who sweat reading courses like human kinetics, polymer and textile engineering etc will end up in a bank or having to start business because the industries where they wouldav put whatever they garnered in school is virtually non existent. Make i yearn more as i gat free time on my hands for now ![]() ![]() ![]() along with ur TOEFL which you should write while doing your NYSC as this is the best time to write it when u v time and FG money in ur hands, u r good to go to apply for the following below..they r all called erasmus mundus masters courses..there r so many more but this s what i could dig up http://sites.wageningenur.nl/en/emsanf.htm http://emfoodoflife.eu/ https://www.jyu.fi/en/studywithus/programmes/emsep http://www.master-imacs.org/ http://sutrofor.eu/ With expensive phnes most of y'all carry around, try and utilize it optimally by googling and doing research..a friend of mine who finished from UNIUYO was complaining about lack of opportunities in her course to study abroad..I told her that 'do u know that UNIUYO is the only university in naija that has an agreement with NTNU (Norwegian university of sciience and technology) which is the topmost university in Norway for free masters and scholarship ission in the whole of naija.Check the following link below . there is a quota specifically allocated just for students who graduated from UNIUYO http://www.ntnu.edu/studies/ntnu-s-cooperation-agreements I also think there is laziness of some nigerian gradautes, i wonder why someone who read a course like international relations, linguistics, english language, mass communication etc would not take out time to study or pay for language courses in french,german etc. If i read any of the above courses apart from scholarships and all, i would be thinking of working for the United Nations, UNDP and all. (b4 u can work for any of these international NGO'S u must know a second language apart from english language) LEARN TO THINK BIG, IT DOESNT MATTER WHEREVER YOU ARE.MAKE THE MOST OF WHAT U HAVE and no one will see ur back Sorry for the long letter;i sometimes 4get myself though i m taking an example from my ogas at the top in the art of letter writing ![]() ![]() ![]() 6 Likes 2 Shares |

in a matter as subjective as this, i usually take the common ground. But honestly, some of this courses were imposed on us. Without the applicant opting for it in the first place .

Hmmmmmmmm!!! Seriously no course/degree is a waste as long as it is ion driven..i once saw an agric extension graduate in a bank and was wondering wtfvck?! Go to a university,acquire knowledge and not just think of the money you‘ll earn,but the services you‘ll render to humanity....“a goal without a plan is only a dream“ if you plan well with your -yoruba studies- degree....you‘ll surely go places!! #TEAMRX#

All course have their usefulness but nigeria has turn an engineer to a banker and a banker to an ict guru. In a civilise country all course have their usefulness. Even those studying signs are making not to talk abt those studying language.

My point here is to give you a list of 4-5year courses. So I have excluded Medicine(and other specialties), pharmacy and law. Bio Medical Engr. Bio Tech Any Medical Imaging science; Radiography, ultrasound, nuclear medicine, MRI, CT Scan Physics/medical physics Radiotherapy/ Dosimetry software applications/ Engr. cyber security/ cytology/histology (branch of medical lab. science) Biomedical science Nano Engr. Bioinformatics Optics and health instrumentation DNA and forensic studies These is not an exclusive list but there are very hot career options now. |

RedBenson: After all the arguments and explanations,how many of those who criticised it are still here wasting their time. Come on bro,you're an undergraduate. Since you still can't comprehend the post and you sound more civil this time,let me just explain it a bit. I wrote that courses not among the ones I listed will most likely be among those that give limited chances in the labour market,this means that there may be some other courses apart from the ones mentioned which ought to be included but based on my knowledge those are the ones I could put down. I also started by saying that I didn't think any course was useless. Now,looking at the whole thing,is there any part that is incorrect or baseless ![]() If you really understood the post,you would just say that Geo sciences and some other courses should be included and not that the post is senseless! I hope you get it now. BTW,your being an undergraduate doesn't make you more intelligent than even any drop-out out there! Please,try to read and comprehend next time,don't just rush to comment in order to earn cheap points! Shalom. |
