A new report has just handed Nigerian employers a microphone and they used it to say what they have been whispering in boardrooms for years.

Six out of every ten employers believe the graduates coming out of our universities cannot do the job.

And the internet is ready to roast the graduates. The jokes are already writing themselves — five years in school and can't send a professional email, can't think critically, can't show up on time. Nigeria Twitter will have a field day.

But before we pile on the graduates, can we ask a harder question?

Who exactly was supposed to prepare them?

Were the same universities that go on strike every two years supposed to do it? The ones where lecturers haven't updated their course material since 2003? Where a student can graduate without ever touching the equipment their course is named after? Where the library has twelve books for eight thousand students and half the lights don't work?

Or was it the government — the same one that has underfunded education for forty consecutive years, that sends its own children abroad to study, and then turns around and demands world-class graduates from a third-class system?

Or is it the employers themselves — who want five years of experience from a 22-year-old, offer ₦50,000 starting salaries, provide zero training, and then act shocked when the hire needs hand-holding?

A broken system produced these graduates. The same broken system is now grading them.

That is not an education crisis. That is a convenient excuse.

So who actually failed Nigerian graduates — the students, the schools, the government, or the employers? Drop your most controversial take below.
