I did attend once but cause all my friends were attending it so it was more of a social outing for me.<br /><br />We over rate degrees in Nigeria cos the employment landscape doesnt have opportunities for those without it. Like a friend of mine said, the call center jobs that Nigerian Master degree holders do, can be done competently by a GED holder.Gingerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10294850491382303707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2560444965847331936.post-69182634880836212922011-07-06T10:30:03.587-05:002011-07-06T10:30:03.587-05:00hahahaha i dont think I have come across any naija...hahahaha i dont think I have come across any naija person that dint go for lessons during the holidays.

I dnt think it's a do or die affair though, i feel like it's good to get your elementary and high school education covered but college shld be more optional. Not everyone needs to go to college to succeed in their career paths. jst look at beyonce and bill gates lol.kitkathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06768682440881142726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2560444965847331936.post-87576168432196458822011-07-05T19:23:15.236-05:002011-07-05T19:23:15.236-05:00I agree with you.

Private tutors were a regular part of my life back in Nigeria. I have a Masters degree in Law and graduated near the top of my class in both degrees (except for NLS :(. It has always been expected of me.<br /><br />Americans, I just don't understand this system. Why is going to college such a big deal? Well, the system encourages it. For most Africans, getting a solid education is a way to get out of poverty. Even if you aren't going to practice what you learned in school, the college experience is invaluable. Its weird that getting a GED is so celebrated here. Isn't that getting WAEC certificate or something?Ayodejihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13202095438621613485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2560444965847331936.post-46752569838712159442011-07-05T18:23:25.333-05:002011-07-05T18:23:25.333-05:00I remember all the private tutors.

Not to mention summer school, extension classes for Common Entrance, Junior WAEC, SSCE and JAMB and even tutorials during undergrad years. Mehn, passing classes was by force!<br /><br />And i find it so weird that people don't take education so seriously in the US because here, u can't really consider urself well educated till you at least have a master's degree.<br /><br />I was going to say a bit more, but maybe I should save that for my own post. ;-)TecknicoleurGrlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09376844006147100596noreply@blogger.com
