Nigerian's are too theoretical rather than pratical


The major mountain in the wilderness of Nigeria'sjourney to the Promised land is the idea of theoretical-ism over practical-ism. Nigerians are crystal clear rich in workable knowledge indifferent departments of life butbeverything keepsending up as mere head knowledge with nopracticals to set foundations and grow. This hasbeen partly responsible for the advancement in the alarming rate of unemployment in Nigeria.
Year in and out, the Nigerian higher citadels of learning produce for instance, graduates in Environmental BiologyFisheries, Agric
Engineering, Animal Husbandry & Fishery and the likes yet, we cannot meet up with 20% demand for meat, fish and agricultural products in Nigeria when their importation was partially restricted by the FG on a 20% level. They can start up a poultry or fish farm. Start small! Marketing is never an issue. The supply is still very low to the demand even at just a 20% demand. Also read: Nigerians are Africa's most optimistic consumers We can become a major supplier of farm products to different nations. That is one of our known values in Africa. Instead of setting ourselves up in the entrepreneurial corner and become employers of labour, most Nigerians go seeking white and watery collar jobs in fields that may eventually bury their formal educational knowledge, working in a field that has nothing in common with their discipline. That is why you see Biochemistry,nGeology or Yoruba graduates working in the banking sector while Accountancy or Business Admin. graduates working in different companies and organisations doing something different. Engineering graduates engineer nothing. You may want to say it's because there is no one to help them but I will it doesn't work that way. The most decorated Nigerian business tycoon Aliko Dangote Dantata started from somewhere. You can always start from where you are with what you have around. Start small; then you'll grow big. Majority want to start big and grow bigger. It doesn't work that way. Start small! That theory in your head, start a small practical with it. Just try it even if it is for the sake of trying; even if it is for the fun of it and you are one step into greatness.
