CreepyBlackpool:Shutup! Some things are beyond your stupid understanding, this poster made pure sense. While growing up, I was the brightest star from nursery to higher institution level, I graduated as 3rd best graduating student. I got offers, and sometimes to last stage interviews in top oil firms and blue chip firms, at the end, I won't hear from the HR departments again for no reason after excellent performance at interviews. I never failed any job aptitude text or exam, Mobil, chevron, total, nlng, shell, Schlumberger, DHL, NNPC, globacom, NBC, just think of any top firm u know, I passed their aptitude test and interviews, and some I stopped at aptitude test no hearing from HR again. People I was better than back in school got good jobs, mine was different. If not for the excess star and favor from God Almighty, I may have ended up a pauper begging others but my star is too much for enemy to stop, they only delayed my progress but couldn't stop it entirely cos I later found my blessing in self development and entrepreneurship and today, I am a startup company owner with greater potentials by the awesome grace of God. So not everything you argue or try to act western when u are born black monkey in a black African nation filled with wickedness. You better wake up and embrace your God before enemies use your life to play ludo. If your parents are rich, its not a guarantee that u won't suffer cos I have lots of people that their parents used to be rich while growing up but today, they are struggling, so open your eyes on time and stop arguing stupidly 10 Likes 2 Shares |

monimekaz:Don't just quit, IT skills is not enough cos it seems u got the IT skills hoping to use it to secure a good job, there is no enough job in Nigeria and the few good jobs, the connected Nigerians are taken them up and fixing their people. You need to embrace business. Remove pride and shyness, enter street, find anything sellable and start to sell it asap. It doesn't matter what it is, just find anything that people need a lot, whatever it is, go into reselling it without shame. Trading saved a lot of Nigerians and Africans. Trading and selling are the fastest ways to become financially successful in Nigeria and Africa and anywhere in the world. Forget your graduate level, assume you are not a graduate and hustle street wise like non graduates. If you are Igbo, it will be easy for you, if not, it won't be so easy but still try okay God in His infinite mercy will change your story before 2020 if you work diligently in the things I suggested above without pride. Go and prosper, God have heard your cries and seen your tears, I release you tonight to your destiny. Whatever the enemy snatched from you, God of 7th hour will restore it for you and you will be like they that dream. Cry no more. Just that I have lots of projects like this I have taken up, I would have added yours, but let me see how it goes, join me in prayer too, once things pick up more like I project this year, I am going to help as many nairalanders as I can carry to get started in life, God please help me 6 Likes |

Ozkar:remind me, are there Nigerians in the top 10 list? There are places where things work than others. If you're an introvert in Nigeria and wish to vie positions with others in Nigeria, you'll be stamped and trampled on. I use myself as example so much because, I'm facing life in its full capacity. I'm now into pneumatic engineering. An apprentice in his 29. I'm facing life squarely because I'm the autobigrapher of my life. I'm pushing all angles to learn a skill or two. I don't want to give flimsy excuses to my unborn kids and the living family why I have not made it till this moment. I'm still squatting in my bro's house. This my bro didn't go to university but has a two bedroom clean house that reeks of opulence. He hustles for real. Has his car and married with two kids. He's an extrovert to the core. As I'm typing, we're at a bar and I'm finding it hard coping with wild life or this type of lifestyle due to inhibition. It pulls me down and I fight it with whatever strength I have. The inhibition started from home training. But talk about business sense, whatever one can do to get money, I'm always alert and alive to churn out a handful of lists. Different strokes for different folks. 2 Likes |

You people should stop this nonsense, very brilliant children become shadows of themselves, academically for various reasons: 1) hard drug addiction. 2) alcohol addiction. 3) porn and masturbation addiction -- also a time wasting addiction. 4) naivety and bad friends. Naivety makes kids in school, especially in the university, try to belong and they get carried away by vanity and being in vogue. As a result, they lose focus and instead of thinking about what's important and building their future, they get caught in living fly and high not knowing that school won't last forever and what's in vogue today would be tomorrow's rubbish. Bad friends too can cause one to lose focus in the way I described and lead one into cultism and other vices. 5) studying the wrong course in the university. A fish cannot climb a tree. 6) no inspiration; motivation to study and not discovering their passion Please OP, the instances of children being a shadow of themselves academically is a serious issue and depending on what the cause is, it can be traumatic and devastating to the parents of these children. Please, this situation is critical that only realistic solutions should be applied. Do not spiritualise it. It should be noted that academic brilliance does not equal financial success --- that's common sense. How can passing WAEC with straight As mean that you would get a job, especially in this Nigeria? How does it mean that you would be like Otedola? I don't blame you, I blame our society for propagating this myth of academic success equaling financial success, it doesn't happen in all cases. People should stop this entitlement, the universe doesn't owe anyone anything. Education is to educate the mind. If your field of study is applicable and marketable such that you can get a job, good for you. Mtewwwww. |

aboyaji: Please don't bring introvert and extrovert stuff into this.. Where you born rich? At least 95 percent of people born rich will always be rich and same applies to poor. Only few people manage to scale out of poverty and that takes planning, hardwork and smartness. And for God's sake their are some dumb introverts as well |

Sarang:That guy you quoted made some valid points. It is not entirely good for a child to be raised being introvert. Extroverts tend to make it faster in life during adulthood than most introverts and its because extroverts learn to mix up with life and overcome real life challenges faster than introverts. Even in girl child, extrovertic girls get married to more promising men than introvertic girls who confine themselves in the house without mixing up and making meaningful male friends. And not all rich kids end up rich, I have some as mated who are struggling today while the ones born poor and in average families are very successful today. 3 Likes |

Denikayan:I know that other factors could lead to a drop in one's career, but I'm examining the spiritual side. That's why it's under d religion section, inspired by today's Gospel Reading by my priest. Have you ever heard of the spirit of rejection? You may be brilliant, smart etc, but get the opportunity let's see. That's the logic |

Success is what you call it. For some people in this country, pushing drugs in Malaysia and cashing out is success. For some Yahoo is success. For some too, a job of 150k salary or 250k is complete success. The real success is you developing your own business and minding it till it grows to global recognition. Africans rarely define success. Some will call Bubu a success but is he? 2 Likes |
