Journalism, Which Way Nigerian Students?

Journalism [Broadcasting, Public Relations and Advertisement} Which Way Nigerian ?
I imagine how to make things REALY work. How to make it MEDIA be MEDIA, irrespective of NAtion Continent Or Location.
As a Journalist-In-Training, I can't comprehend how easy{if even possible at all}, to train in Nigeria and work outside the Nation {without, any other training}. Media/Multimedia has gone DIGITal.
Analogue to Digital transformation is another issue. BON requires Every Broadcasting firm in Nigeria to be Transmitting on Digital Platform by January 2013. Next question is How prepare are Nigerian in the Broadcasting Industry? How Prepare is BON, Ministry of Information and Nigerian Government and Nigerians at large? Intership Programme gives me an added opportunity to experience how things happen in Radio Broadcasting.
The Print Media and Photo Journalism is another area where Journalism is facing severe barriers in this part of the World. Though, several International Organizations are of supports for students of Mass Communications{Liberal Art, Journalism or the likes}. Yet, it's still not of International and proper standards.
I'm having a Quality Education in Nigeria, which many other students are missing, LASPOTECH, Ikorodu is doing a great job in ensuring a qualitative education in the country. This would be better if other institution can follow.
How long should Nigerian continue HalfBaked Education? ...
