saipn: There are no good schools in Benin Republic. Harsh but true. Many foreign universities have directives regarding the country where an applicant graduated from and the possibility of applying to study in the university. Chad, Benin Republic and Niger Republic are examples of such countries. It will be a waste of money. 4 Likes 1 Share |

Thane: Well, I believe in determination and perseverance. He should not use his condition as a yardstick for not aiming high. Think about it, after graduating from a university (hopefully in Nigeria and federal one), how does he intend to sponsor himself to any reputable foreign university aside scholarships and assistantships? Now, what better way is there to being qualified and favoured for these financial assistance? That he graduated with a lower class should even propel him to finish excellently. And no, it's not impossible not to finish top as a self sponsored student, many have done it and I know quite a number. That alone is a reason to finish top. 1 Like |

NapoleonBonapor:The question of whether you are too old, I suspect is steming from age insecurity, you have to deal with that, it is part of SAD(Social Anxiety Disorder) and you may need a counselor to overcome it through practice sessions. For me as a counselor, I would not say nor deny that I am ignorant of the age bracket required in industries and firms who hire workers and also our institutions are flooded with young adults and teenagers with a defined age bracket which will easily make you noticable but what you have to understand is that everything are just based on convention and norm of doing things in the present day world, there is no definite principles guiding those norm just that overtime people have learnt to forge their lives around those principles and overtime has come to accept it as a law, if you happen to accept this same principle it means then you have to start looking for the basis why you accept to live by them, and for many who has done this, They have discovered that the principles where postulated by entrepreneurs and shareholders of companies over decades to hire young minds which they feel they could train/mold easily to fit there spec. if you want your life like this then the answer is that, yes, you're old already but it is not late to give it a try but if your life is not limited nor defined by those ideologies then you are what principles you chooae to live by.

One best graduating student in a department of my Alma mater was in his mid 40s when he graduated. Another older student who couldn't keep up academically went to study in Benin Republic, graduated in 3 years and served (NYSC) with his mates from his previous university. Go to Benin Republic, graduate, do your NYSC, and leave this country. |

Do not try option 1! I repeat; don't go to Benin Republic for a university education! Better to attend a private university in Nigeria and go abroad for your Master's degree. If you can't afford Nigerian private universities, do a DE into a federal tertiary institution. Forget Benin Republic! I've got acquaintances who attended some so-called private universities in that country and I therefore wouldn't encourage you to attempt it as a result of many negative outcomes I witnessed... By the way, 24 is still very young. I'm in my early thirties and looking forward to a nursing degree. 1 Like |

No, you're not late to further your educational career, as a matter of fact, you're young at 24. Go for a B.Sc degree via direct entry with your ND. Since you already have ND certificate; if it's Art, Social sciences or Mgt course that you studied, you will spend 4 semesters only, if given admission to study in any of the approved and accredited private Universities in Benin Republic. Yes of course, a GENUINELY acquired certificate degree from any private University with good repute from Benin Republic can secure you admission any where, be it in Europe, USA, etc; and I say this with prove to show. Some people need to understand this fact, that the issue of "substandard" education is NOT peculiar to Benin Republic alone. Even in Nigeria, University graduates are being churning out yearly with some of the graduands unable to justify the certificate they acquired. Substandard, be it in education or in anything at all, it's a global challenge, and no country should be summarily condemned, or people be discouraged from fulfilling their quest for a University admission placement from any where they choose to, so long as the necessary info and details needed to go to that place are satisfactory. Agreed, there are a couple of Universities that are engaged in some unethical practices, be it in Benin Republic, be it in Nigeria, even in UK or USA, but definitely not all the Universities in Benin Republic, in Nigeria or any part of the world are to be adjudged as being substandard as a result of a default by any other University. I'm a University stake holder in Benin Republic, I could assist if you want. Please, this is a genuine gesture.

NapoleonBonapor: Have you heard of JPTS?? You can run your Bsc,MSC,Mph and P.hD with them both online and offline. By online I mean you can continue working and at the same time be schooling. The duration for their Bsc is 3yrs and you'd be awarded a foreign certificate from a list of accredited universities of your choice and you'll also be eligible for NYSC. You can contact me by replying this quote if you want more Information |

NapoleonBonapor: Everyone's spoken well. In fact I wouldn't agree more with many of the advice stated above. But!!! I wanna take this from an acute perspective . I'd like you to consider also your 3rd option. Depending though on your discipline of study, and your 'Why' for continuing. If you don't have a strong Why, then you're just wasting your time. If your reason is to fulfill all educational righteousness and belong to the cadres of the infinite list of degree holders and obtain bragging rights, you'd be wasting your time. Except you have a major goal at the end of the tunnel that requires you to follow a line of study in order achieve it, you'd just be going through life just obtaining vague irrelevant papers in lieu of real achievements. You're young, but still don't have all the time in the world. Think instead of the real difference you wanna make, the real problems you wanna solve and in what sector you wanna bring a solution. Then get to work. You have a major tool - the Internet. By the time your alter ego should be done getting all the 'qualifications ' in the world, you are already a force to be reckoned with in your field. Don't delay cos You'd only be going to school to read books. There's no information and no skill you can't get on the Internet for almost free. So do a soul search. |

| Re: Am I Too Old To Further My Education? by harsysky(m): 4:23pm On Apr 25, 2019 |
NapoleonBonapor: Yes you are way too old to start all over. the reason is by the time you are through your mates would have been way ahead of you. Come to think of it, there are those who have attained a level and are no where near the elite group. in general, life is a risk, and it is those who take the bold step that come out victorious. this is your cross and it could be how you have been destined to succeed but if you are waiting for anyone or myself to give u the assurance to go on with your education, you may never succeed in life. |

Op I will give you this open secret, UNIVERSITY OF NIGERIA (UNN) accepts lower credit in all its programs. I'm currently studying on one of the management courses, i gained admission through direct entry last year. It will surprise you to know that I'm the only person who got upper credit in my department and others are lower credit, not only in my department but all the departments. So quickly go and apply before the jamb DE form closes |
