First, you seem not to understand this thread. It is either you take the money and face your business squarely or you head way to school where you will be trained to manage biz. You cant do both, if you try it you might be advised to withdraw.
Anything to say

I will collect the money, start up a good business then train 1 or 2 people in school that will not fail me in future incase my business crash


what do u think?

I will just say it depends on you...how u visualize it..for one million it can be more than enough for a person who can think and manage business. ..and other can go to school so as to be employe in future to is dream job.. (buh for naija is slim)...even many rich ppl I know that have certificate still venture into business ..every job that pays is a business...for business u can predict the future and as an employee u can't predict ....

You can't even employ me with your biz bcoz ur biz will not be thrive enough to afford my salary.


Besides, you can only employ those secondary school graduates and not a higher institution graduate with whatever biz you might engaged yourself in.

I beg to differ bro. A printing firm I started immediately after service with less than 50k has started another that today has a graduate as its manager. 1million naira can very very comfortably start a business, a firm that can employ graduates. You no know say country hard and job is hard to come by. I employ labour so I know what I'm saying.

[quote author=Lovexme post=51440349]Easy choice.

As much as I need money now, education can not be disregarded now. I'll pick education!



Using the money to start business is not "disregarding"school..but after you must have established your business school can come.let's say 3or4 years.

As it is for business so it is for graduate seeking job.
Some graduate get job even before they complete their service while some don't even get job after many years. Some people invest more than a million in to a business and the business crashed along the way, that the person you referring to invested #50k into printing succeed does not mean if another person invest #300k will succeed. What works for Mr a might be against Mr b.

True. That's why we were asked to pick either money OR education now.

You'd prefer money, right?

Won't b enough. I tell u

Bros you are not a business man cheesy

I only need 800,000USD to set up a University,

Let me tell you how it works

1. Go to a rural area, meet the baale's and co, dash them money and tell them U want to build a University, which will create jobs for them. They will lick your feet and dash you hectares of land and also give u a Chieftain title
2. Construct about 5 big buildings using local labor and meet NUC and FG for the necessary licences
3. Meet a Bank to give you loan using these structures as collateral


4. Smile to the bank, hence you have $200k unused.

funny you

did you consider what the transport fare will be subtract the fare from a million naira and tell me if the balance can establish you your dream job in one of the countries mentioned by you?

As a matter of fact you are right in the sense that it'll be better to invest the money here than elsewhere but mainly because of the exchange rate anyway.

Still if you have a million bucks I'm sure any reasonable person will be cautious about what to invest in and how to invest it. Despite the exchange rate a million bucks isn't change.

Education is different from wisdom/sense. What's important is to have sense and whichever one you choose will work for you.

I keep saying it to those who wish to hear that, the basic thing one need is to learn how to read and write and litte arithemetic. Except you are going for professional courses like, engineering, medicine, geogology etc. Entreprenuership should be more encourage than schooling for certificates.
and u also forget to mention *Banking and finance/Accountancy*or weren't they professional? undecided
