Hello guys. I wish to be hooked up with a reputable career counselor in Lagos. I need a professional please. And I am ready to pay for the services. Thanks.

Let's hope folks who have an idea of it reply to this read.

TSharp, you definitely must be an intelligent person. What you are doing is searching for a map to navigate the jungle of career/profession. It is really a jungle, yes a jungle because there so many hurdles to overcome and you have to be strong enough. Choosing a wrong carrer is like going down the wrong lane for several years only to discover its the wrong route and having to turn back to the starting point. Most people dont ever recover and they lament for life. Add me on BB at 2927f69c. Wish you best of luck.

Just get good material on career planning and read. With the Internet, and from books, you can get multiple perspectives about the same thing, rather than relying on the biased advice of one single person.

Thanks for this. It's just that these foreign models are a bit dizzying, given our Nigerian realities. That there is so little interest in my topic also tells me I have to rely on your suggestion and Nigerianise what I learn. Thanks again.

Nigeria isn't much different from any part of the world. There's nothing we do here that we didn't copy from somewhere.
We just use that 'Nigerian factor' thing as an excuse to make up for our personal and national failings. You can learn from anywhere, and localize your learning. Start first by learning and reading.

I agree very much with this. Very important. You may need to pick here and there and sieve.
