Western education has waved our mind away from acquiring any skill what so ever, it has been realized that everyone wants to acquire western education, everyone wants to be identified with degrees and skill acquisition has been set aside.
Skill acquisition has now been believed to be for the poor or for people who cannot afford western education while western education has become for the rich as the fee to acquire the degrees keep rising everyday.
Personally, I feel that skill acquisition should be as well learned with the acquisition of degree programmes (western education) as this really helps in so many ways.
In a country like Nigeria, there is a high amount of students who graduates yearly and you will see even first class graduates carrying their files up and down the street looking for a place to work, they walk round tirelessly round the street daily only to get back home frustrated at night .
Skill acquisition is a great solution to the problem that the country is facing presently, to reduce the amount of youths who roam the street daily.
Skill acquisition is is the only other option left for this generation youth, as it will help them become self employed and it will save us the stress of walking from one office to the other and receiving insult.
Skill acquisition enhances creativity.
Skill acquisition gives the opportunity of becoming your own boss.
