You're arguing Nigeria *should* prepare for AI job displacement. Wrong frame. The real question is whether Nigeria has the infrastructure to *absorb* displaced workers—and it doesn't. Mass unemployment in a country with 40% underemployment already isn't solved by "preparation." You're treating this like a policy choice when it's a crisis you can't manage. Before Nigeria "prepares," it needs functional education, capital for retraining, and labor demand in non-AI sectors. None exist. Your position assumes preparation prevents harm. It doesn't. It just postpones the inevitable while the economy atrophies. What specific preparation policy actually solves mass job loss in Nigeria's context?
