It is in my country you will see where students no longer have an interest in education because the education system is really bad and not encouraging. It is only the rich people children that are enjoying the system, they have made the poor children feel useless for taking part in education. They make it very hard to make education very easy for them to learn, the learning environment is not conducive to learn and I wonder how they can learn from there.
The so-called public school owned by the government are nothing to be compared to a prison. I am sorry to say this but that's the real truth and the real fact that every Nigerian know. I have once visited a public school and the class I entered has no fan and the seat allocated for students are not enough, so some students sat on the floor to learn where the weather was so hot. Tell me how all these students will be able to grab what the teachers are teaching them.
As if that's not enough, I went outside the school to do some survey and I saw that the roof of the school is already spoilt and opened, so I asked one of the students if rain doesn't disturb them when is falling and he said whenever rain is falling they cancel classes for the whole day because rain won't allow them to stay in the class. He said rain will be entering the classes and the teachers will have to stop the teaching and leave for their office. I was very sad hearing this and I really feel for them, is not that I am rich but then I thank God for my life that I didn't attend a public school both in my primary and secondary days. I have heard so many cases of bad events happening in public schools and I feel so unhappy.
All these make the masses lose interest in going into education and begin to look for money having the mindset that the reason why we go to school is to have money later in the future. The so-called graduate of various institutions in Nigeria has problems with employment. They spend years before they could seek a job and after seeing the job you will find out they are being paid with chicken change ( I.e a very small amount of money ). Many first-class graduates are unemployed and the one that is employed is being paid less. No wonder many have refused to go to school, they believe if they go and learn some handwork, they will be able to make money.
The rich people children attend private universities with school fees of over millions of naira per year and after graduating they have spaces for them in various companies waiting for them. They are employed immediately after their graduation and are being paid huge amounts of money. They got those offers through connections meaning they have got a parent who knows the influential people in the country and knows the president or governors. They make the masses ( the poor ) very useless with their certificates.
Why won't there be cybercrime ( the likes of yahoo guys )? Why won't there be a lot of kidnappings of rich children? Why won't there be murderers and armed robbery due to the poor educational system? The government have failed the people and the people also failed themselves. We can't all blame the government because they say charities begin at home if we all have trained our ward from homes, there won't be problems in the country. The people ruling us presently all came from a certain home and family, if they have been well trained they wouldn't have treated the masses like this.
It is only the rich that smile and laugh in my country while the masses cry every single day. No employment opportunities have lead to hunger and living under no roof, many have no house to stay in at all because they don't have work that will fetch them money. The cost of living is too high and the masses can't afford it. Prices of foodstuff are being inflated every day, the amount you get something from the market today is not the same amount you will get tomorrow, why is all this happening? Bad government. Our youth has to double his hustle to survive and to be able to be at the same stage with his fellow that is from the rich background or else he will have to be a slave under his/ her age mate.
Nigeria my country is no longer my country to many Nigerians, it is now their country because they don't want to have anything to do with the so-called name. Many Nigerians have started claiming another country because of the bad names and allegations on the name Nigeria. Let me put a stop here because if I say I should continue talking about my country I will have to keep writing till Jesus comes.
My advice for all Nigerians
Pray a prayer of blessing to the country whenever we wake up every day.
Work very hard and don't depend on the government.

The state of education in Nigeria is really disheartening. The youths are unemployed . The hope of every Nigerian youth is to leave the country.
