This question is based on ‘The Lekki Headmaster’. Why is Bepo advised to learn a skill before migrating?

  1. Skills are less important in developed countries.
  2. Skilled work offers better pay and job security. ✓
  3. Skilled workers are less likely to face difficulties in migration.
  4. It is essential to compete with migrants who don’t have skills.

Explanation

Bepo advocates for acquiring skills because skilled workers earn better pay and have greater job security. This is practical advice for young Nigerians considering their futures.

In any country, skilled workers (electricians, plumbers, nurses, technicians) are in demand and can command higher wages than unskilled laborers. Skills also make workers more valuable and harder to replace.

Bepos advice reflects the reality that education and training open doors to better opportunities, whether at home or abroad.
