Urine: 7 out of the 8 people you mentioned, dropped out while having a valuable skill; programming. Without a degree computer programming can put food on your table. If you want to drop out of school, please get a valuable skill first. Some billionaires are not even mentioned here. Some were illiterates like Mary Kay. She never got your so-called valuable skills before she became a billionaire. 1 Like |

How many billionaires are there in the world? over 1000 i guess, so if 10 are drop outs, how about those who are not dropouts. My advise: It is important to be educated. But most importantly, is to apply those things learnt. You do not have to be a drop out to be a billionaire, so do not think of dropping out of school. If you are already out of school, it is not a limitation to the heights you can reach. Apply the knowledge you have to the things you have passion for, look for a problem faced by society and find a creative solution to it...... na wetin come my mind to yan be this... 1 Like |

This piece is a Wonderful Motivational we got to learnt from. Everyone has got his or her own God-given talent BUT your inability to imagine that skill in a GREAT SUCCESSFUL PICTURE is nothing. Find your Skill, Set goals to achieving that a successful Career through that skill or talent, Get yourself to work hard,persist,don't give up no matter the challenges...THEN you're on your way to become like GREAT MEN and BILLIONAIRES... |

priscaoge: They were determined to be successful because they have set a goal which must be achieved not only through education but through other means! When U are determined,u will make it. Where u are today doesn't matter,what matters is where u will be tomorrow because Determination leads to Success!!!!!!!Amen n amen 1 Like |

who says education is a guarantee for success in this country ? Do you have any idea how many university graduates are unemployed ? Even that guy across your street that graduate 2 years ago has not gotten a job. whats the point ? the best thing you can do for yourself is to develop your skills. and focus on building them while you are still in school. Frankly Nigerian education is one big joke, and there is no promise afterwards. I focused more on my building my programming skills while in school and after one year of graduating (have not served, fucking school ppl) I am running a web and mobile application development agency, doing really fine and just got a new laptop. Please guys build your skill, the educational promise is false. If you really have to design a website, develop a web application or mobile application just visit www.udonline.net and i will help bring your idea to reality. |

Guys, Orji Uzor Kalu was rusticated and he started a profitable business. He became a billionaire and was called to resume but he rejected it. Rasaq Okoya, owner of Eleganza is a drop out as well. Stick to what you want from life. Be persistent and be determined. 1 Like |

sholasholala: Some lazy a** people love topics like this . With the level of lack of seriousness exhibited by students nowadays, articles like this will only give people (young ones especially) reasons not to be serious with their education. "I have nothing against education. But at times, education gives people false confidence. It makes people relax, trusting in the power of their certificates rather than in working smart" -Rosaq Okoya (drop out billionaire owner of Eleganza company). Tell me what your theory loaded Professors have achieved that this guy is yet to achieve. |
