The world around us is constantly changing. New patterns
emerge and replace older ones which are rendered obsolete. Let’s have a
look at some of Nigerian professions that are about to become extinct.
1. Postman: Just a while ago, post offices used to be overcrowded. Today, more and more people prefer to use social media and e-mail services to send their messages and communicate.
2. Cashier: Just a handful of electronic terminals can replace most human-operated services in, for instance, banks. Only the need of human interaction and constant explanation are holding us back.
3. Engineering: The Nigerian government now prefers to grant engineering contracts to foreigners. Most of them are from Korea or China. Those Nigerians who studied engineering might soon find it difficult to find a job.
4. Paper newspapers: Less and less people buy printed newspapers now. For the most part, theses people are elderly persons who are not internet-literate, while the youths prefer to surf the web.
5. Watch repairing: A lot of people have stopped using wristwatches. Instead, they prefer to check the time on their mobile phones. Thus, the business of watch repair gradually becomes unpopular.
6. Call centers: Many Nigerians today have at least one mobile phone, and some network providers offer cheaper services. There is no need to employ services of a call center to make a call.
7. Cyber café: The situation is similar to the one with call canters. More and more Nigerians own PCs, laptops, and printers – why paying extra money?
8. Okada riders: Riding motorcycles is forbidden in Lagos, with many states considering the possibility to do the same.
9. Farmers: Nigerian youths don’t want to become farmers, preferring white-collar jobs now. Soon, we will have to employ labourers from Niger, Togo, and Mozambique to work for us in our farms.
