wman:Ok. Otedola was a printer who was fully engaged in the business with his father back in the days. At least ,I know one of his father's friends in shomolu too, now very old. He later went to school but whatever he acquired subsequently as degree wasn't the source of his wealth today. Degree is good to have like I mentioned in my post...its just a foundation. 1 Like |

Logobenz:yes, I did. Dangote had been a successful businessman before he had the ceremonial degree. It wasn't the degree he had that made him. Whatever he had afterwards wasn't the basis of his success today , my point 1 Like |

PlzAdvice: Bro, to be completely honest with you, school is good, but there is zero guarantee your life will be better with a university certificate. Time isn't on your side considering you will have to combine working and schooling, had it been you had a sponsor it would have been easier. I am highly impressed with your writing skills, you write better than many graduates. My advice, learn IT skills, programming, software development etc... That is the hot cake right now, in the IT industry degree doesn't matter, it's your skills that matter. Good luck. .. 2 Likes |

What skol gave u 6years for computer science? Try noun or Unilag distance learning I think it’s better and faster from what I hear. Now on getting a certificate or not it depends on ur plans really and the timeframe. If u plan to work for ur self and ur absolutely sure u have the capacity and skill set u don’t need to waste time with any degree bt if u not sure and may need to work in a cooperative establishment and aquire sm certain experience u will need to have ur degree and relevant certifications.

fairfora:Get your facts right first.you seem to be flopping too much for someone that knows him personally. He got his degree in Egypt after basic education. How Does a person even become made in business,abandon all of it to go pursue a degree?Is that even possible to you? Dangote has been made before getting a bachelor's degree?come on... Also,I never said you must get a degree to be the best you can be,was just pointing out some flops you made. |

whichever choice you make, always be sure you finish it till the end. i finish SSCE same as you in 2010, go for re-sit same as you in 2012 for the same reason. and now i have a diploma and degree qualification but not in computer field but PHE and Human Anatomy respectively. i also had passion for IT, i learnt hardware repair as an apprentice for one and half years before my re-sit, couple with a software engineering programme on SQL server for Database Administrator in NIIT, but i learnt coding from different website online such as java, python e.t.c, my best advice is to go for a four years computer science B.Sc program and learn coding online while in school, you can run it part-time either private or public depending on your pocket, after school you can write professional exams and be a member of professional bodies. your certificate will carry you to where you need to be and your professional background will make you to survive and hold on to your job. you can also deals with CISCO (for networking) or ComptiaA (For hardware) you learn the mathematical model of programming in school and you learn coding and code implementation online, it would help you a lots and makes you stand out but you have to be ready to learn, both certificate of B.Sc. and professional course are just ordinary papers in the real IT world, what makes you, is what you can do because IT fields is not abstract but deals with reality. 4 Likes |

Bro I would advice u to apply for both the professional course and also for a degree course too..... Am an undergraduate of Computer Science and I would sincerely tell you that what they are teaching us in school is 40% compare to what I have gained in my professional course am currently undergoing too, you can enroll for a Part - Time Course so you can also have time for the professional course too..... if you can afford both. |

My little Advice is this; Since you are already in ICT field, I will prefer you go for computer programming instead of wasting 6yrs in the university to study computer science. Let me tell you the truth...There is no practicality and skill acquisition in Nigeria Universities. Computer science graduates from Nigeria Universities are novices in computer skills except those that went for additional training in computer science. Go straight to computer programming and the sky will be your starting point. Look for a good computer school where you can acquire programming skills. P.S. what really matter is your skills (i.e what you can really do) and not your paper qualification. The future is computer. The whole world is going digital almost in all aspect of our lives. Every other things will go obsolete, but computer programming will continue to wax stronger in all sincerity. If I had this orientation and opportunity while I was growing up, computer programming would have be my point of call. 1 Like |

I could recall when my dad told my uncle to enrol for a 4years degree programme but he chose professional course over that. Years later, He got the opportunity to work for FAAN'. He was among those getting candidates for the main source but couldn't put his own name because he had no degree. He missed that job opportunity and still jobless with his professional course. 5 Likes |

PlzAdvice:Pls do a part time program even if its ond n then hnd and along d way run professional certification training of your choice in ict. Programming is cool if u inclined to it because it brings in money quicker for u once u begin to master it. |

Logobenz:Lol. It's you who's mixing up issues here. Yes, he had a degree from Al-Azhar University, in Egypt... and I dare you tell me in what year.... Dangote went to a Cairo uni to earn a degree (years after he had been a successful businessman). He didn't earn a degree to be successful. Going to the university was just an afterthought to him. Somebody whose daughter was seeking an admission into a university before he too thought of doing same. See, there's no point dragging anything with you here. That's not my style. If you dont believe me, then you could always keep quiet instead of embarrassing yourself. See the way you're just shooting yourself in the leg. This day and age, you don't have to physically appear on a university campus before earning their degree as you said it's not possible for him to abandon all, to pursue a degree. What happens to online course hun, mr know all? |

fairfora:Sorry you are the one embarrassing yourself. So much arrogance in ignorance! How Does a succesful businessman leave his successful business in Nigeria,goes off to Egypt to study for 3-4 years leaving his business behind? Answer this genuinely and I will believe you. How do you even think a person from that kind of family will be left to start trading immediately after basic school without going for tertiary education? I never said the degree made him btw,It makes no one! Quit using arrogance to mask your flawed logic,it won't help you here. |

Logobenz:Now I'd answer you intelligently. Sorry sir, if I sounded arrogant to you. This day and age, you do not have to physically appear in a university , abandoning your business, family et al to earn a degree up to PhD in any part of the world sir. There are online options available to everyone who's interested in bagging the so-called degree. I had an MBA from UCLA and it was purely online-based. I only appeared on the graduation day physically. All the course modules were available online which I took. In same vein , dangote doesn't have to go to a Cairo uni to take a course. While in his office or on weekends, he can do the same online. Does that make sense to you now? 2 Likes |

Well, I will tell you the bitter truth, upgrade your technical skills and knowledge in your occupation then latter you can go for career extension in a complementary professional field. Don't bother about Nigerian educational certificates they as valuable as an old newspaper. Get a foreign educational training if you can afford it. Nigerian educational system does not focus on skills acquisition but on certification. Think of what you can do to solve the everyday problems of individual and corporate organisation locally and internationally then start smiling to the bank. Thanks for the interest you showed in yourself and your family members. 3 Likes |

Logobenz:My friend, there's no need to send you a pm. I dont even do that in the first place, sorry . I'm very relevant in dangote foundation but I wont say more than that. He had a degree, yes! Agreed...and I know the year precisely but he's entitled to his privacy and he's much respected by us all, same with Adams oshiomohle who went to school to acquire more qualifications because of his political ambitions. He even finished the programme while in office as governor. I dont have to be saying all about dangote's education without his permission because some details like dates and when he graduated wasn't even available in public domain, so why would I be the one to be saying all that? This is a public forum, remember. My point is, Dangote didn't go for any degree course until years after he had been doing business successfully. Cheers |

fairfora:Well,you live to learn another day. It is clear I won't be the one to school you properly on this But I believe someone else will someday. Just let your ego and arrogance down when you meet that person so you can assimilate properly,rather than going back and forth unnecessarily with people that can give you credible information |
