Please I have a question.
When is the right time to make good friends, Is it during your NYSC or during your days in the university? I mean friends that can assist you in time to come. Because I find it so difficult to associate with people that are not in my department and also my course mate are just so envious to be such close friends.

Let me guess, you are still in say year one or year two? It's usually like that. Course mate being envious of each other during the first few year's

The worst decision I ever made in life was going to BSU. If I had known I would have endured and graduated from UNN. While In BSU I suffered the worst kind of tribalism one can ever face, had little or no social life and burnt the mid nite candles to no avail. Was roundly failed by most lecturers who were not of the same tribe as myself. The high point was when I entered a lecturer's office for course registration, incidentally he was my Cartography lecturer. Mr Ortsegha, he told me matter of factly, that " You would not graduate" 3 times n I said sir I would graduate. The MF gave me a resounding F in his course. But today I thank God I graduated n working in a reputable establishment. But if you'd ask me, my biggest regret was abandoning my degree program at UNN and opting for BSU.
Kai....! sorry about your experience.
Thank God for you life tho
Lecturers are something else sad

I haven't graduated yet. I'm just in my third year but I wish I spent the last two years going out and socializing more. I hope I spend the next two years making good memories.

Bro, you just dey think like me. If say I know wetin I know now, I swear I for no waste my time with JAMB. I for don collect scholarship Jápá from here... then the Nordic schools were free.

I gained no useful skill in Uni despite with my course. I can not operate a lathe machine or drill press now; Not to talk of a CNC machine. I can't use a welding machine. The whole uni education did not give me skill..... Just rubbish theory theory theory!

YouTube teaches better than this rubbish schools here. My pikin no go repeat that mistake. He must get skill skill skill skill...Hands-on skill.

Now the kid, at his early age, is take advice to learn coding on notepad, designing games on scratch... Teaching him 3D design and printing with a 3D printer. I will get him a laser cutter rigged on a CNC machine.





Did you studied mechanical or materials or metallurgical engineering?

How can you say this? With this course you can easily be self employed
Trust me it was a mistake,i have course mates/ friends who think alike.note that We all graduated with gud grades but the pain didn't weigh-out the prize.You would count a dozen of Mechanical or electrical Jobs for instance b4 finding one in Chemical.Nigeria isn't just ripe for some courses.

Nice thread

1.. I never regretted joining blackaxe confraternity but I regret not killing more Vikings

2.. I regretted not fucking as many girls as possible

3... I regretted paying my fees, I should've spent it if I knew University education is a scam


In summary, I never regretted things I did, I only regret things I didn't do

Start living your life now

Why do Nigerians call universities, school? I know Americans do (Trump loves the poorly uneducated grin grin grin), but that's not the English/British legacy. Is it?
British legacy indeed. Why didn't the British who moved to the American colony keep their "British" legacy? Why did they have to formulate a new one? You forget how important identity is. It's only in africa that we take pride in being more a replica of western culture than ours. Let's forge our own legacy

No regrets maybe tingling feelings at times of not been of a science background perhaps if I was well-informed. I only wished I made first class would have secured a full scholarship abroad by now, but with my 2:1 in my 2 degrees, partial-scholarship is guarantee. I wish I partied too though only went 2 club twice courtesy of my bookish friends on their birthday days.... No regrets just wishes!!

I started with 2.1 and instead of me to aim for first class or at least maintain my 2.1 i started smoking weed and dropped drastically and was almost at the brink of 3rd class. Anyways in my finals i studied my ass off and finished with 2.2. It is what it is..Now it's all about the bread
i can relate.

My only regret was not being SOCIAL and not PLAYING KEYBOARD for a BIG CHURCH then in KSU(Anyigba) even as good as I was.. I always find myself in small churches( I no know why). Anytime I'm in class and school environment then, I envy those KEYBOARDISTS that plays for big churches and fellowships when girls flock around them and they discuss about songs..I always think this could be me (I was a virgin then sha)...Thank God I finished with a 2.1 (biochemistry)... after I left school, I vowed not to do anything small again.. I served at Ozubulu in Anambra state.. I played for Living Faith Church throughout.. That was when I knew ladies love MUSICALLY INCLINED PEOPLE... I even organized a birthday party 4 myself(Me wey be introvert)...
Now, I have learnt u need to be social to succeed,I can start a conversation with a stranger now.. but 4 ladies part(I dey run from them now because when dem see say I dey jovial... Dem don fall b that).. Social skills is the best, it gives extroverts edge above only INTELLECTUALLY GIFTED PEOPLE
. My VIRGINITY don LOST since I became SOCIAL

My first regret is that I didn't make many friends cos I was this stay indoor and get high alone type.
My second regret was going to every single lectures and taking school too seriously with the thought that it was going to pay off.

I was over serious back in school. Eventually, I have seen that, succeeding in life has no relationship with how serious you were back in school.
