im share your opinion bro but u must not 4get the fact that early opportunities in nigeria are only available to the rich so it would be wrong to generalise this issue......dont compare urself with alot of young nigerians out there who would have done better if they had the same opportunities u had to study........keep up the work.
u r lucky to have parent who could sponsor u abroad and mind u not all nigerians r lazy and dumb.

I like this very frank and precise.
I love this story, but I must say that it is a single sided story, talking about one particular class of people repeatedly.
Great Article...you hit the nail right on the head. Good one Prof!
I understand the point you are trying to present through this article but it is a one sided veiw, you will have to balance all other constraints in nigeria, and besides you are talking about nigerians who have more than have enough, what about those who don't have, whom have to start fending for themselves at the tender age of 9, 10, 11 or there about because their parents don't have to give them and can't make more than N1500 per day and this category of nigerians can't go to good schools because in the state where I live in which is lagos you can't pay less than N100,000 naira for a good nursery, primary or secondary school and for private universities not less than N350,000 and government owned schools are a sad story. And mind you this category of nigerians account for more than 80% of the country's population. My friend just thank God that your parent had and were able to send you to UK where you attended good schools, got exposed and exploited the vast opportunity available for you in UK.
i too share in your opinion . however, while such note is crucial for most nigerian parent, it is worth noting that most nigerian youths are very hardworking and such is exemplified in your scope of intelligence. it is good to work for your money but some persons would earn more if they have the privilege you have.
thanks so much man
I think you should change the topic of this write-up to "LETTER TO VERY RICH NIGERIAN PARENTS".
Everything you have written applies to people in this category and it is obvious from what you wrote that these are the people that you have dealt with all your life. So please don't generalize, I can assure you that majority of Nigerian parents are not so financially buoyant as to fly business class themselves not to talk of their children.
Great work prof.
saying the piece is 'one sided' is trying to shy away from the truth.no matter what there are lessons to learn. are we now saying that cos our parents are not "wealthy" we should not struggle for our survival, even the average Nigerian parent is over protective of their kids all in the name of culture. Even though it looks like its directed to one sect of the economy thats the reality of our lives. Simply put we should face the realities of life as early as possible, "HARD WORK DOESN'T KILL" of course Nigerians are HARD WORKERS, but why not work hard to develop your own "thing" rather than working your sock off for someone else. our kids should be made to do little chores at home from their tender age not "Child Abuse pls".
the article has said it all 'No tree grows well(Taller) under another tree"
my brother thanks for the advise, am preaching the same gospel too of not waiting till graduation before looking for work, we should try to augment our children education with hand work so that they will be self employed instead of job seekers

As much as the article can not be applied to all Nigerian youths, there are still some underlying principles one can pick up from this write-up.
This is what the writer has experienced from his time as a consultant and shared with us; A tree will never grow well under the shadow of another tree is applicable to job seeking individuals who have a dream to achieve something financially huge and are seeking to ply their talents under another company without looking inwardly to be self sustaining is an example of the above.
Time spent to get a white collar job could be channeled into developing a skill that is demand and selling it in Market.
There so much that can be picked from the piece, but will agree it doesn't address the general Nigerian youth
