Is Counselling A Good Career Choice? by OcholaKings: 1:26pm On Apr 11, 2021 |
Happy Sunday fellow NL, am just enquiring on the career path of counselling and therapy in Nigeria. Is it really a good career path? |
Re: Is Counselling A Good Career Choice? by DAVIDMOE(m): 2:45pm On Apr 11, 2021 |
Nigerians would rather go to a pastor than visit a therapist. They think mental illness is spiritual. Though you can make cool cash if you secure a job with NGOs. You will get more opportunities in Germany, US or Canada. 62 Likes 1 Share |

OcholaKings:Get a degree in theology and join any denomination and you're good to go. Anything outside that will be a total waste of time. 16 Likes |

CrazyMan: Correct..unless he wants to be self-sponsored. Because many Nigerians can't even accept that they could be depressed, not to speak of suffer from other mental health ish-es. 13 Likes |

Rocktation:Yes...and even if they experience depression in any form, they'll look for the nearest pastor because we're religious in nature. The average depressed Nigerian will feel more comfortable talking to a pastor than a professional counselor. 23 Likes |

I study guidance and counselling. It's a good course, but here in Nigeria is a waste of time. Unless you intent to practice outside or go into pastoring. 3 Likes |

Yes For the guy above me dont make a mockery of the call of pastorship (shepherding) There are fake pastors just as they are fake lawyers, doctors, teachers and mechanics Ednut you won't tell a man to rub grease on his hands and overall, hold spanner and screwdriver, park a few old cars with open bonnet then boom he don hammer? Please respect the Christian leadership, terms and faith I won't say so about another religion Counselling is a fantastic career op, go for it, but you need emotional strength, maturity and thick skin You will hear things and you must be wise to direct the person aright God help us 13 Likes |

in other countries, yes. in Nigeria, no. most ends up teaching for a meagre salary in private primary school |
Re: Is Counselling A Good Career Choice? by Lexusgs430: 4:29pm On Apr 23, 2021 |
OcholaKings: Ask Daniel Akpata........ The problem with this career path in Nigeria is, people don't like to pay for counselling and don't believe in counselling and therapy........ They would either hope the problem away, pray the problem away, fast the problem away, vigil the problem away or receive counselling from an unqualified pastor/imam or Instagram, twitter or nairaland a solution........ 5 Likes |

DAVIDMOE post=100697272[b:Your statement is stereotypical and generalistic in nature. Such assertion is false to start with. Not all Nigerians seek counseling services from their pastors |
Re: Is Counselling A Good Career Choice? by OlujobaSamuel: 4:30pm On Apr 23, 2021 |
Hmmmmmmm, op, find a counselor around you and explain your situation/problem to him, try to market him/her to some people around you, if 20% should come back better than they went(ensure you get their feedback), then you can make your conclusion on the viability of the course here in Nigeria. 2 Likes |
