Please I want to take a diploma course in either Database Management or Software Engineering and I don't know which one to choose I need some advice

Review the course outlines of the two and check on the one you can do very well with full passion and dedication.

Database management IMO
Check out what DBA's and SAP consultants earn - na die!

In the western hemisphere it all about collecting data, mining it and using it for business intelligence.
This will be coming over very soon as companies start to look for competitive advantage and the onset of out sourcing to reliable low cost centers in Africa.

Good luck in which ever field you choose as i don't think you can go wrong in the long run.
