thebosstrevor:


your story doesnt seems right,i feel you are lieing

you cant use department budget to fund a staff education,is that not fraud and stealing?,a staff going for further education(study leave) is either going on his own cash or if the staff is very valuable the company might decide to sponsor him and all processes are done in HR.

Something again you missed is that in Nigeria in Nigeria there 23 years old ceos collecting fat salaries,so what is your point?

dustydee:

For some MBA programs, age can be a disadvantage even though they don't mention it.

Nigeria ain't shii. Even medical doctors with years of experience are fed up and quitting. Fukk y'all saying otherwise on here

salford1:

No one cares about your age in developed countries. Your age wont stop you from getting admissions or jobs.

Pidgin2:


Lies, they care about one's age in developed countries whereas no one cares in countries like Nigeria. You people LIE a lot

salford1:

Bring up one vacancy posting in the US or UK or Australia where it states that you must be at a particular age range to apply.

I can bring you tons from Nigeria, especially those bank jobs.

If you cant bring me one, then shut up.

salford1:

Of course..the embassy. Read my message again..i said "Uni or employer".

Could you post a link from any university website to back up your admission denial to matured student?

In most cases...anyone in the late 20's is also classified as a matured student.

Even in Nigeria, a 3rd world country, universities dont deny admissions to old people. My uncle a former senior lecturer in botany returned to unilag and got his law degree at 55.

Pidgin2:


The OP was asking if he can be admitted into school , in Nigeria there are no restrictions while abroad you won't be given a visa at 38 to study BSC even MSC in some schools. That said, there are sectors in Nigeria where old age is key, ask politicians and political appointees

Can you please tell us what you have achieved with your $200K bonus so far and how have you contributed to Nigeria in any way or form? You are stating your success story with no logical backing. You cannot prove all you've stated as nobody here knows your real worth and none can attest to your claim especially as you are a stranger to Nigerians in Nigeria. Even in the US I'm sure you are not known so how do we verify your claim

I know a young man that buys cargo ship from UK yet he lives in Nigeria, he earns millions and there are many like him in Aspanda, trade fair, tincan, etc earning millions and travelling round the globe yet they do not have more than primary six education. That's the difference between Nigeria and US. Down here, you don't need to attend Harvard business school to make millions ask those into importing and exporting business.

Nigeria is a land of opportunities even without formal education one can make it, especially if you dedicate time to study how and what legit business men and women are doing. Can you make such money without education in the US?

dustydee:

Thanks for sharing your story. I am considering doing an MBA but at 38, do you think I am at a disadvantage? I am considering Oxford and Cambridge. Thank you.

I have read the debates here .

Nigeria is d fastest place to make money only if u indulge in sharp practices.
I was working with mtn prior my relocation to Australia. I am currently schooling and I save at least 3000dollars a month.
It took me 3.years of dedicated savings to gather 3million naira which I used as my first deposit.

I've spent only 6months in a Australia and I've saved over 12,000 dollars that is over 3milion naira. I have bought a rav4 jeep during this time, married an American citizen during this time, paid my tuition fee of 8000dollars during this time.
Saving $3k a month as a student... this one got me.


My dept at mtn was outsourced nd salary was adjusted to 48,000. This is less than what I earn a day working as a student. So how much do u expect such person to save from a salary of 48,000 naira

Thanks for your comments. I don’t want to be known, I’m not here to brag about my standard of living. Most wealthy Americans don’t brag about what they have and you may be living next to a millionaire and not know. Humility is virtue that i’ve learnt over the years. I was sharing my story to say that everyone’s experience is different and we all take different paths. Education is not the only key to success, there are many ways to be successful in life. The fundamental keys to success never change: humility, kindness, honesty, perseverance, self confidence and faith in God BTW: I’m very involved in mentorship programs here in the USA and in Lagos. I don’t care for accolades or recognition. David became King not the traditional way, but because God had pre-ordained him as king. He had to overcome many obstacles to become king, he was not a perfect king either.

Wishing you all the best.

LaNiger:
Thanks for your comments. It’s never too late to do anything in life. You have to weigh the cost vs. the benefits of an MBA. What’s your end goal? There are Executive MBA programs out there that might work for you. The following schools have very reputable Exec MBA programs: Cornell, NYU, University of Pennsylvania etc. Someone commented about you getting a student visa, which the Executive MBA can help you with. An Executive MBA program is for older and more experienced applicants.

Good luck!!!!

The funniest and most expensive joke I have heard from Nigerians doing menial jobs in the US. and earning between $1,500- $2,000, is claiming that they are richer than bank managers in Nigeria. I guess they make their money in America while spending it in Nigeria. This stupid joke need to stop. A Nigerian doing menial job in the US. at best can be compare to someone receiving 80,000 Monthly in Nigeria in purchasing power. A Nigerian doing odd jobs for 10 yrs will still be paying rent while a 10 yrs bank manager would have long built two to three houses with a lucrative investment. Nigerians in America need to stop converting currencies because it is clearly stated that if you earn $12,000 annually in America you are living in poverty

donmaxman:
. LaNiger God bless you for the inspirational example you gave us. Nigerians generally have a pull him down syndrome. You can never compare any western country to Nigeria.

Pasca07:
you are only fooling yourself on this thread,answer this question what is the percentage of Nigerians in America that send money back home through western union or moneygram compare to Nigerians working in naija that send to US?

When the govt enforced limits on cards why was there an outcry by many especially students abroad who relied solely on funds from their Nigerian links to survive, did anyone do the stats or maths on these category of people? Billions of dollars from Nigeria are lodged in American banks, many Nigerians pay thousands of $$$ to attend schools there, millions of Nigerians part with money for visas to US, Nigerians also pay millions of $$$ to receive treatment there, trust me Nigerians pump in more money into the US than the reverse but trust Americans to do stats where it involves their image as a God father, take note that America is more populated than us but millions of $$$ are received in America from Nigeria through the above channels

fiendishghoul:


You say this, but you don't talk about the millions of Nigerians who have failed without education...what's the success rate of uneducated Nigerians?? You're still addressing the problem from only one angle...not everyone will make it Nigeria, not every one will make it in America; why are you buttering things up?

You are even a bigger fool. What is the percentage of Nigerian wasting money on worthless American college degrees , spending millions giving birth in US. hospitals, millions on accident cars those broke ass Nigerians in America cheat us in order to complete their monthly rent payment compare to the pocket change you send via Money Gram. Nigerians living in America are broke so deal with it.

Nadratan:
I haven't been to America but I don't know in God's name why someone will be so mad and envious of that opportunity-laden country or other Developed European countries. For instance, I am a freelancer in Naija here and 80% of my income is from America. There is opportunity and hope in such countries. I do love Naija so much but I can't join the bandwagon of people claiming this country is a sane place to live. Do you even know the percentage of people that are suffering in this country? Do you know how many people that stop me on the road and ask for money everyday?

This issue is not even debatable at all. I am making a good money from my freelancing job, high enough to give me a good life in Naija. But do you know what, I am planning to leave this bleeped up county soon. I need to be in a stable environment and start planning for my unborn children... Moving to a place where I can make better use of my skills, make more money and live a good life.

As a freelancer, I am even scared of the police because they will mistaken you for a yahoo boy and victimise you. Its time to stop arguing blindly. I love Naija but I love my life more...

FYI: I am going on a vacation in the next couple of weeks from Money I earned while virtually living in America. I paid my travel expenses in just 2 days without even feeling it... tell me the percentage of legit working class Nigerians that can afford that??

Young man pack well. Success is not tied to education. Nothing gurantees success. Education in form of schooling even delays it. Just incase you dont know college educated Americans will need to keep working into their mid 70's in order to complete the debt circle they started in their 20's. Thats what will form the basis of my next post. You think you are debating a gala hawker? The figure is out there, go and do the research yourself. They will work almost into their 80's
