The issue of dropping out of school(university precisely) to chase after A business idea in nigeria is usually frowned upon by many. From consulting the dictionary, I was able to understand that an "illiterate" is someone who can't read or write, thereby why is it always termed in nigeria that A person who does not complete his/her university education is an illiterate?? From my personal knowledge and understanding, education( university/ tertiary institution) is A very important aspect of A persons life but I don't believe that its a must in order to be successful, quite alright its an added advantage. With the rate of unemployment in the country, education has not guaranteed job security and setting up business enterprise seems to be a reasonable option, So my question is; if you are young(late teens/early 20s ) and have A business idea that can generate a turnover of 3million in a year as A starter, would you delve into the business( when you knw the chances of succeeding is good) and return to school later or enter school at once to try the business later?
Please comment with your reasons

As you rightly said, the rate of job insecurity is alarming in the country today. All these were as a result of the false hope many of us have received while we were still young. It sounds like: go to school, get good grade and get yourself a good job. Even the FG is now encouraging graduates to learn trades after school. Entrepreneurship to me is the way forward. Leaving school is not a bad idea, but one should do so when he/she realizes that the demand from the business world is taking much of the academic time i.e you must have started the business while still in school. And if the business have great potential, please leave school for some time and focus on the business! Thats my personal opinion.

Education can mean a lot of things, of which attending school is part of it. And yes, being a university graduate is highly overrated. I graduated 4 years ago and I've resorted to business in order to fend for myself. I wish I had put my school fees into business by now I'd have made a lot. I'm not saying education isn't good, but we attach too much importance to it. Unfortunately, u have to bend to the rules of your society. If u are absolutely sure your business idea can get u so much turn over then by all means u can postpone the school thing for a while and later take part time courses. And if anyone has anything to say about it tell them about all the dropout billionaire entrepreneurs who now rule the global economy for instance Richard Branson.
