Ade3131: Marvelphysics, life is all about fulfilment. Don't be fooled, there's more to life than making money. Admittedly, going for a course in programming is good. However, you can do that while you put your varsity education on hold. After a while, you begin to pursue your Computer Science admission alongside your programming skill. You can go for certification exams when schools are on vacation. You will go far with that. There's a reason why rich school-leavers still retuned to school even though they were stinking rich. I can give you a long list of names. You see, King Sunny Ade said that his biggest regret in life is not having a university degree. We all know that Nigeria is messed up; but if you can afford it, don't compromise university education for anything in the world. It improves your confidence, self-esteem (you are not inferior to speak before anyone) and everything you can think of. Good luck 13 Likes |

I took time to read all... Now my own story.... Coming from a below average background, dad even struggled to pay for my waec. Knowing the situation at home, I hit the street immediately I wrote my last paper in waec looking for job vacancy. Luckily I found one after trekking from Mushin to Oshodi with local ice cream company as a production and sales rep in one small shop like that. Few months after someone approached me from my church to come and work for him. He offered me more and the place was a walking distance from my abode. It's an invitation to breakthrough. I worked with him for 4 yrs and all my salary from start to end date was saved. I was a crazy saver! I lived on side income; from assisting customers to carry their goods. I left the company and started same biz with my savings. I ensured I reinvested most of my profits and was prudent with money as well. I put in for a part time degree course and registered for a professional course (ACCA) while I continued rulling my biz. I really made it big, as God crowned my efforts with success. When I became chartered, I left the country for my MSc. I still have biz that fetch me monthly in come in naija. As other said I am still a work in progress. It can get more better. Key note... 1. Start from somewhere no matter how small 2. Learn to save and don't do follow follow 3. Set goals and target for yourself in your biz 4. Don't live about your means 5. Learn to give especially to parents, siblings any the needy, any time I do this I get more. 6. Your biz first, don't carry out any capital project that will kill your biz. I said this from experience. 7. Do anything as long it's legal. 8. Save, save, save and save 9. If you can, avoid fornication and alcohol. 10. Pray, pray and pray. It shall be well with you all. Our efforts will not be in vain. Don't wish anyone to be poor as I did experience it. Pls, don't stop trying, though the naija environment is not encouraging but don't give up on your dream. Good morning! 23 Likes 3 Shares |

My story is kinda different. I graduated at the age of 22 and completed my NYSC thingy a year after. During the course of my first degree i engaged myself in a number of internships that gave me some kind of exposure and things moved until i got the chance to leave the country to further my study. After living in the country for a year, i couldn't get a job but was learning computer programming and graphics design on the side. Luckily for me though, i was able to start an electronics business and was also teaching on the side. We move 2 Likes |

I completed secondary school education in 2004 at age 16. Admission wasn't nice to me because I had to write Jamb a few times. It was the last MPCE in 2009 that got me admission in 2009. I studied Accountancy and Finance and made upper credit honors. I served in 2015/2016. I hadn't finished the service year before I got a banking job through a recruiting firm to access bank in 2016. I quickly ran to Lagos. Life started smiling at me . Rented my flat and needed to have what an average young man should have at home . I was able to do this within months. Unfortunately, the joy was short lived. I used to work at a very sensitive unit then at access bank. Some wicked guys had to steal $40,000 from the vault. I was somehow roped and this consequently led me out of the banking job. I knew nothing about the stolen cash. I've the story here on Nairaland. It was even moved to the front page in 2017. I started applying for jobs, but all efforts proved abortive. I had to go into bus business. I don't want to be useless. I sold off my electronics and furniture and borrowed more money at the microfinance bank. I guess I was too ambitious. I didn't know much about how good a bus should be before buying. I took 1.7M to Abuja in 2018 to go buy a used 37 seated bus. It was the most useless business decision I've ever made. I bought a bad bus and this consequently made me lose all the investment. The loan company was already mounting pressure for their repayments. The bus wasn't working. Instead, the bus was giving more problems and I was spending on it. I had to sell the bus after a few months of purchase. I sold it for 750k. It could only pay very little of my loan. My in-law supported me and I'm still grateful to that man. He helped me pay the remaining 1.2M to the loan company. I became very depressed and clueless. I had already given my life to Christ immediately I lost my job at access bank in 2017, and wasn't expecting life to be tough afterwards. I was wrong. Since Bible itself says many are the afflictions of the righteous. I had to go back to job hunting I'd left for one year . I had practically lost everything I had as that this time. I eventually got an account officer role at a school in Sept 2019. The school is another sorry place to work. I didn't know the owner doesn't pay salaries as at when due. Even despite I'm the account officer, and most of these cash get to my office before lodgement at the bank, the owner doesn't care to pay. I just knew I needed to leave there and find somewhere I could be getting my pay as at when due. I got some invitation for written aptitude test in January and February this year. I gave one of those test a very good shot, and was so sure I'll make the interview stage. While I was waiting to get called, baba Corona just came and worsen the economy. Our school had to close operations., and there was no pay. My employer is still owing me 4months salary . I became more hurt. In my quiet time during the lockdown, I conceived a business idea. I had to go learn this business online and physically at an area uncle's shop. He was sincere to teach me the prons and cons of the business. I'm at verge of starting the business, but I've no capital. Life is just very unfair. If you ask many people on this platform, they'll have one or two, bad or good experiences about life.

By 18-19 I already know say education no be my way. But my parents biggest concern then is not going to the Uni. Then i travelled to Swaziland instead of Switzerland. Lol Since looking for money,is not the same as stealing = I passed all test from my new host 110% They moved me to a mining site,and instead of stealing or messing up. I set up a Igbo joint,but my aim is getting the good rasteferians in my book. Then I moved to listening and noting down,the names of the ones with direct access to gold and diamond ,and then I started doing illegal buying and selling of precious stones. Still burn Lala,with very good network of miners,and my only crime now is tax evasion. Ijebu man no like to pay tax .... hahahhahah Working like if tomorrow no dey,and eating life like an elephant,make I no go work for nothing! 2 Likes 1 Share |

emmaphy22:My dear brother we've all been created to be trail blazers in life. I've seen it all yet I've never contemplated suicide,I've had court cases and police arrests here and there yet I've never thought of it. Mind you all these above pains I'm talking about in the process of scouting for my daily bread as I'm into contracting. So just believe in yourself first that you can do it. Also,you need to rewire your mind to function more from the positive side which is called possibility thinking. Read through Google about the stories of some of the world's greatest and fulfilled achievers you would see that yours is nothing but a piece of cake.

paulolee: its because you did not know the value of it. I worked as a contract staff for a bank and discovered that our top 50 customers are apprentice, business owners, artisans. they make a lot of money. one thing is that if you are good at what you do and market yourself well, you will smile to the bank. 1 Like |
