Nigerians are creative at creating a satire with stringent problems confronting the country and this joke confirms the status of our educational system.
Read the trending joke that despicts the theoretical structure of our educational system with poor exposure of Science/Engineering students to practicals that could boost innovation and technological development:
Lecturers in Federal University of Technology, Faculty of Engineering boarded a plane and when the plane was about to take off.
The pilot said, "Welcome on board ladies and gentlemen. May I be pleased to inform you that this plane was manufactured by your students in the university and this is its first time of flying. That's a good news isn’t it?"
Immediately the passengers heard that, they all ran out of the plane except one professor who sat comfortably.
People were surprised and asked him why he’s still sitting. He smiled and replied, "There’s no need to run out because if it's true that this plane was made by our students. Then with what we taught them I’m very sure that the plane will not even move."
A top commenter on a popular online forum has this to say:
"You all should be sincere, Do you think you can fit into the Industry efficiently? Science students in Nigeria, here is a question for you all.
"This is just for fun but the truth be told, this is what is happening in our higher Institutions nationwide"
