Nigerian lady claims Nigeria has a high number of graduates who lack basic common sense
A biracial Nigerian lady identified as Claudia
Ayodele has taken to social media to share her
experience and the lessons learnt from serving
her nation Nigeria under the compulsory 1 year
youth service.
In a detailed write-up, she pointed out the issues
she encountered from the NYSC compulsory one
year experience. She stated that Nigeria faces a
bigger problem due to the type of poorly
educated Nigerian graduates. According to her
post on Instagram, there was a great lack of
respect, shame and humility.
She wrote: " A brief recap Honestly the last 11 months
were not a joke.I don’t know how many times I wanted to
literally quit NYSC but I kept reminding myself why I
actually started. Why? Because you just never know when
Nigerians want to make your life miserable in the future. On
the positive note, I learnt a lot about the way of life in this
country
Got to experience going to a state without an airport in its
near vicinity. Got to experience what it’s like to be in the
deepest jungle bush where even google maps imaging
cannot capture the road. Got to experience how deeply
ingrained corruption and indiscipline is in Nigerians from
young to old. Got to experience how simple queueing, is not
possible... Over and over again Respect rarely exists.
Humility rarely exists. Shame equally rarely exists. Self-
Interest exists. Before anyone gets hurt by this finding,
honestly there’s a big difference between poor and middle
class not to talk of upper class
They say Nigeria has a high number of graduates, I say
Nigeria has a high number of graduates who were not
taught quality education and lack basic common sense.
They say the problem with Nigeria is it’s old leaders, I say
Nigeria faces an even bigger problem when the young
already show traits of the older generation clinging on to
power.
For the first time I got to fully interact with Nigerians from
all walks of life and it has been a truly humbling experience.
I am grateful to those who pushed me to do NYSC because
now I know up until a year ago, I lived in a bubble when it
came to ‘knowing’ my country.
It turns out Claudia may have spoken on a
sensitive but fundamental issue as her post
received mixed reactions from people on the
social media platform.
