Firstly,i am still confused on which career path to start off with. I am yet to decide on whether to start off on the voice admin path (CCNA Voice) or the wireless path. Therefore, i'd like to hear people's opinion, with the current NIGERIAN market as the deciding factor. Also, just in case i decide to start with the wireless path, is it better to go with CWNA or start with the CCNA and go CCNA wireless? Again i would love the answers to consider the current market in our country. Thanks

Guys whats happening? I really need the answers please,

IP voice is a new but steadily growing area in Nigeria. Go for CCNA voice. With a good grasp of IP fundamentals, you can actually do both voice and data routing applications.

You hit the nail on the head there sir! Thanks.

Following the MainOne and Glo1 Fiber landings, the voice and wireless markets are sure to boom - PrePaid calling card (packetizing voice) businesses will flourish and existing ISP's are sure to provide SIP services, ALSO, there'd be expansion of existing Wireless ISP (Ikorodu in Lagos is on the roll-out list of two Major Wireless ISP's in Lagos, Badagry is coming soon).
My issue with your post is your deciding factor, Your passion should always be your deciding factor, never your locale ! Take some time to run through related videos and books in both areas, stay sensitive till something tickles your fancy, causes your brain to hum like an engine or makes your heart beat faster. Note it and look deep within yourself - then make the move. Picture what height you'd have attained in the next five years. Hit the ground running and hit it hard, your career is sure to skyrocket in the next three years if you keep at it.
If you do decide to go with Wireless, in my opinion go with the CWNA.
CCNA-Wireless is too vendor-focused and doesn't give you a proper grounding in the fundamentals of RF Networking knowledge that you could export into the Mobile Telecom domain.
All The Best man. Let us know how it goes.
Cheers
