U are in JSS 1 and ur parents advise u to do part time skills acquisition training and u would say no because u are from rich family, in your mind. Having gone to the University with huge investments, in some instances with master degree from overseas university, you would then go and register to perform training in same tailoring with a new brand name of fashion school. If you had followed the advise of your parents, you may have established a fashion industry at that time.
In Nigeria, every average person wants to struggle to meet up with the rich counterparts in the society to send their children overseas with consequential billion of dollars expended annually as capital flights from Nigerian economy to other economies in the world. Then when the children of these people graduated from the foreign schools, they expected them to get white collar jobs in Nigeria. Mr. man and Mrs. Woman, who would create the white collar jobs for your children? Why can’t Nigerians stop the capital flights resulting from education tourism and invest the resources in businesses that would create employment for our people and possibly go international some day?
Today, Canada is fast becoming the depot for wives of Nigerian men that live averagely. Most of them still work in Nigeria and export the revenues from Nigeria to better the Canadian Economy. Same people would turn round to complain that Nigeria is not developing. Nigeria is this or Nigeria is that! This is what I would call mentally deranged ideology that have set Nigeria backward for long. Time for superiors ideas to solve the ever growing problem in our society is now. Change in society ideology is needed to solve our problems.
