economia: I have a bosome friend of 40 years of age who is planning to travel abroad for a PhD. He is holding a govt job already but he want to forfit the job for the study. He is having it in mind to us the study as a way to relocate that is why he is not married. He knows no one there in amstadam. Do you think he can make it. I am sorry to divert the tread.

nitrogen: ^^^ are you fustrated or wat, why vent that on him? For sanity's sake, it is his view and not yours nor perhaps that of most, so?

obowunmi: Don't be wicked my brother. LoooL

You know Nigerians have inferiority complex. Even a dummy that schooled in India is seen as better than a Nigerian graduate. Na conditon make crayfish bend. It is indeed a trend, but "abroad" includes Ghana, India, South Africa, Namibia...lol

Anything but a Nigerian university education. Sad reality.

Mhen u are super Dumb + the two dumb like minds that liked your posts... I was seeking for a PROFESSIONAL COURSE in procurement dosent mean I do not have a career DEM!!! Neways sure u find it hard to read and understand simple written englishwonder how you passed Jamb

Ok i am currently in a fix as to where to go career wise, and i would really appreciate professional advice, i hope and pray i am in the right place. Here is a brief description of my academic accomplishment and where i intend going from here

I have a BSc in Microbiology 2:2(as at my third year i discovered i wasnt really cut out to be a science student or a microbiologist because i found myself always struggling I preferred management more so i decided to start taking more of management professional courses
I took

IT Project management by Comptia and i passed with flying colors
I also took NIM ( Nigerian institute of Management) during my service year which i also passed
I went on to do an Executive masters in Project management in UK Passed too
I have also attended Seminars and Courses on Entrepreneurship and Management at the Lagos Business School

Reason for all this story is this:

I currently work as a business Development officer in a company( I like the Job but i am more Inclined to management than marketing)

I want to do An MBA in Unilag starting in sept( Is this a right step?
I am also considering going into personnel Management By doing CIPM (Wont this just communicate to my future employer that i am confused?)
I am also thinking of furthering my Project management programs by doing PMP Project management Professional(Do I really need to do this exam?)
On the other hand i am considering Doing IT courses like MCITP, etc

OK I know i might cut across as confused but before you crucify me, the reason y i am doing all i can to improve myself is to get a better job, work for some years (Max 10 yrs) and start my own company. I love management and i would want to own my own stuff

Ok so that s me in a few words

Kindly advise

Mr Man my Uncle paid my way through a private university in Nigeria and 4 my masters Abroad!! Today he is so proud of me because by the grace of God I am doing very well and I donot have to rely on him for financial assistance . Infact he even assigns the responsibility of footing some bills to me so he dosent get overwhemed! Most importantly I stand like a role model to his own children and they run 2 me for funds they think they can't ask their father eg money to buy gifts for my" friend" on vals day.
Now imagne this man was thinking like you... What do you think would have become of me . Listen africa is a continent where family is a big thing to us. Do not imbibe all the rubbish white peoples mentalities !

ballabriggs: If you have the money and think he is going to be committed to his studies then why not. I tell you if you've never had to study in a University in Europe and North America, you won't understand how flawed Nigeria's education is in terms of methodology, personnel and infrastructure. In addition, the fact that such people have not done well in Nigeria should not be a deciding factor. It is very difficult to study in these schools and not learn a thing. Even if you don't learn a thing in your field, one thing I am certain of is that UK education seems to give the individual more confidence as he is made to study independently.

CyberG:

Better to open a thread for the topic. It is not difficult, just copy and paste what your wrote here there!

sisieko2001:

intellect my a.s.s !

wats the biggie in helping a relative in need of help - going abroad to seek greener pastures/study

or did the poster help him get a 300k per month job at mtn and he refused accepting it

nitrogen:
Infact, you are......

Seriously, it is a way of helping others that want to get more education but do not have the resources, since you can, just do it cos they want it for the better of their lives. I can call that 'necessary extended f
amily responsibility'

oyb:

you are a very good reason for this thread - imagine having to sponsor a lout like you through university - you can't even write coherent english

and you are slow to boot

i posted a link to your post history and quoted one of your posts

since you want to play rough. . .

https://www.nairaland.com/983400/please-need-experienced-career-advice





you are indeed doing very well. i pity the poor kids who will have an incoherent lout like you as a role model

jack of all trades and master of internet BS. money don enter bush finish.

your uncle first wasted money sending you to do microbilogy, which you found out you 'were not cut out for ' after 3 years

then IT project mgt

you then jumped to NIM

then to project management

then to lag biz school

now you are running around asking what should i do

all that money was clearly wasted.

your uncle should have found some one who didn't have his head in his arse - and the person would have sorted himself/herself out after one degree. the way you're going, i can see more courses in your future - perpetual student - thats what happens when you have no responsibility for fundin your education

small wonder aj dey vex on career board.



sorry o , this lumideezle to the weezle has faulted your assertion big time

GboyegaD:

Do you know how much it cost to study abroad? If the guy feels he cannot help, we truly cannot blame him and I hate it when people feel it is the responsibility of an uncle to pay for their education. Although he hyped his feelings about the topic but that is not enough for us to castigate him so much because it would be very difficult for an uncle to pay N4m per year for 2years to sponsor one's education.

sisieko2001:

this has to be be one of the dumbest posts i have read here in a long time.

your level of reasoning is amazingly low. yet, you work as a telecomms engineer at mtn
so because someone failed to secure a good job in Nigeria, the person is doomed for failure in another country

i know from your posts here that you have a disdain for foreign education but as they say, ignorance is bliss.

so you know, there are lots of people that weren't lucky to get jobs in Nigeria after nysc and today are working with investment banks, oil companies and top multinational companies abroad (after their masters).

you fail to realise that Nigeria as a country offers limited opportunities for young graduates.

if you are in the position to help this relative, then go ahead or STFU.

how much is the fees that you are ranting over rubbish!

coogar:

how much does it cost especially when these rich folks would not mind spending N10m in whorehouses and their aristo chics?

hrhobi1: @OP PEOPLE LIKE YOU SHOULDN'T BE REFERRED TOO AS FAMILY , BROTHER, COUSIN. BUT DON'T WORRY THAT SAME PERSON U DON'T WANNA HELP NOW WILL PROVE TO YOU SOMEDAY SOON THAT MAN IS NOT GOD.

ocelot2006:


Necessary family responsibility indeed. What a bloody joke. Apparently, the family members think those millions grow on trees, and they sure think it's their right to demand for such aid from well-to-do relatives. Well call me wicked or whatever, I'll spend those millions on my kids only. Let those damn relatives demanding for aid apply for a scholarship.

ocelot2006:


Here's the thing, if a relative asks nicely knowing fully that those millions didn't come easy at all (and if I can afford it), then maybe one can help. But when you DEMAND for it as your God-given right...sorry oh.

ocelot2006:

If a rich uncle or family member decides to spend his money in a damn whorehouse or burn it all up, how the hell is it your business? IS IT YOUR MONEY?!

coogar:

coogar:

and that's exactly why people think you are a glorified plonker....a relative who knows you have N20m to spend @ whorehouses every year would think you are wicked if you refuse to sponsor him abroad.
