Today is 2nd of July 2021 and in the next few weeks or months fresh graduates will be ushered into the world of the labour market. The same thing happens in the secondary schools and other institutions of higher learning. But one paramount question that we need to ask ourselves is this: how many of these graduates can add value to nation building and development? How many of these young school leavers are creative, able to use their initiative and creative ideas to bring a new path to success that will employ at least 5 people through their creative ideas? The answer is none of them have this tenacity and ability to do that. Our youths immediately after their NYSC program run to the nearest business center to print CVs and start looking for jobs where there is no job. One begins to ask why did they spent 4 years in the university and 1 year in the NYSC camp. Was it all about job seeking? From this small analysis one can see that the main problem is that the educational system in Nigeria only prepares us for the business center to type our CVs and not to build new creative ideas. We can never attain the level of development like America, United Kingdom, France, Japan, China and the host of others who have benefited from Creative and Professional Educational System (CPES) in all areas of education in their countries with this our present day system of education in Nigeria.

It is very important to note that the educational system that Nigeria is presently running cannot be compared to what we have in America, United Kingdom, France, Japan, China and the host of others who have benefited from Creative and Professional Educational System (CPES) in all areas of education in their countries. Building professionals and making their children self-reliance is one beautiful thing about the educational system of western and developed nations. Today may rich parents sent their children to other countries of the world where the concept of Creative and Professional Educational System is in place to train them while here in Nigeria what our universities are producing as graduates are not better than our fore fathers who only had standard six as education. What a shame on our educational system in this country.

This article is a wakeup call to the government and to parents in Nigeria to look at the future of this great country and begin to prepare the path of greatness for this country by implementing the Creative and Professional Educational System (CPES) in all areas of education in Nigeria.

Thank you and God bless Nigeria AMEN
