Hi Nairalanders, kindly need your advice, please.

I am currently in my second year studying a five years course in a federal university, I have no interest in what
I am studying, I got good grades tho. Just doing it because that is what my parents want me to do. I have no passion for it,
oftentimes I feel I am just wasting my time in school.

I love programming and would love to drop out of uni to focus on it and give my all to it. Seeing a lot of graduates
living from hand to mouth, struggling to earn a living is truly not encouraging.

If you love your life and future drop out and chase your passion now...


School was not designed to make you a boss but to advance slavery....


The best thing that can happen to a man is to pursue a career that equalizes with his passion... In that way you will never regret and you will never have to work ever because you will never feel like you are working but you will always get the feeling that you are being paid to have fun...


The smartest people from schools end up as employees who make more money for billionaires, many billionaires didn't go to university because they had a plan bigger than wasting 5 years in a 1800s classroom setting

I see people saying.. He has closed alot of opportunities if he drop out.. Programming itself is schooling.. Things has changed alot than wasting 5 good years in d classroom in the name of schooling while u can learn virtually everything online. The so called handouts are limited in scope. Show me that lecturer that knows more than the internet. So who are we deceiving. Google is the best University so far. U cant explore it very well and not succeed. Guys are making millions on Amazon, Upwork, Fiverr, linkiden and many platforms with skills.. Open your mind and eyes

I use this medium to say Happy Children's Day to all Nairalanders still living with their parents!!!

I did the same 3 years ago and it's not all beds and roses.
I will advice you to do the same if:
1. Your people are not the nagging type.
2. You have something to fetch you a side income while learning..... I am about to setup up a soap company after learning about life the hard way.
3. You can dedicate yourself to programming.
I am a Systems developer and I just laugh when people who don't know shit about code come to give me advice on how to go about my career.
It's difficult out here without school.....no more free Toto, you will have to pay with your blood, that was why I spoke earlier on having something doing.
My mom supports me, my father nags and threatens me to go back to Uni.
Yes, I will get the benefits of a paper certificate, plus free knacking combined with the fact that I am beginning to make some cash, but there's a price you pay for success.

If you drop out, you have closed alot of doors to yourself.
What do you do?
You develop your skill or write a killer project and bring them knocking on your doorstep.
I wish you the very best.

I swear to God the guy will learn life,

I relate with you cos i dropped out a year earlier at fvvcking 300level saying I want to go into business, school is a scam, fvck 9-5 blah blah, mine i wasn't even interested in the course but if i tell you the course you'll say I don't have sense I should have finished it.

Not that I wasn't brilliant, in my time i had double admission to Uniben & UI bck then UI still took 2nd choice.

Only 3 years into a 5 year course I say i wan go do business my other pal said he wanted to go into script writing (in Nigeria ) back them we both had big dreams, we read about Zuckerberg, gates & jobs followed strive mayisiwa on Facebook dey gather inspiration, draw business plan, before we finally dropped out, as we enter street omo i see I saw my brother.

That's where i learnt plan on paper is different from implementation in real life.

Even another random guy that was in his 3rd year that just completed his 2nd semester exams and passed without carry over see as we dey ginger follow us drop out.

These two guys I don't even know where dey are now, the last time i spoke to one of em was last year October, everybody is now pushing little stuffs just to survive.

At least i'm doing a bit better now but omo e no easy.

If he likes let him learn, or go the hard way, i know i shouldn't compare mrA to mrB but don't forget na nigeria you dey.

The fact that you're in nigeria the odds are already AGAINST you.

DON'T TRY IT. DO COLLEGE AND PROGRAMMING. Don't make a terrible mistake in your young age.

YOU ARE ENJOYING PROGRAMMING TODAY, WHAT OF IF TOMORROW YOU ARE NOW EAGER FOR POLITICAL APPOINTMENT? Will they use programming? They will use your college...

Be very careful! Don't drop the future because of present gratification. Use all opportunities.

Imma keep it real with you Sonny, don't venture into programming if you don't have money for data or good food.

E get why.

There are times you'd just smash your PC and scream fuckit, I want out when you can't debug a line of code...been there, done that.

Secondly, you need to be on some NOOTRPOICS (cognitive enhancement drugs...adderrall, modafinil, etc)

Here are some gems you can fuccc with, cheers.


You might want to listen to BLESSED (schoolboy Q ft Kendrick Lamar) while reading this while you light up a blunt, it'd help you a lot


Know this and know peace.

you can hit the ground running with a few tips below I you don't have any profitable venture at the monent, this..can be applied to almost anything if you think critically.


imma keep it real with you like my brother from another mother, The educational system in Nigeria has been watered down a great deal but there are still opportunities for grassroot hustlers, best believe that.

All you need now is a hustler's ambition / mindset, you need to grind like one who has no mother or father, its cold out there.

In Nigeria, there are two classes of people (Living things and non living things)...you need to be amongst the living and stop whinning and complaining about this and that, nobody has it easy. If everyone comes to Nairaland beer parlor with his or her story, you go thank God for your life.

Bum imma share some gems with you real quick and if you are street wise, you will take action immediately.

If you must make it in Nigeria, you must think like an OUTLAW. push your fine boy and degree aside, roll up your sleeves and hit the ground running.

however, If you are techy (digital marketing, ecommerce, mini importation, UI / UX, Graphics Design, Video editing)

If you are dead broke don't venture into programming, you cannot effectively learn programming on an empty stomach with lack of data


If you are hands on Plumbing, woodwork, electrical, interior design solar design and installation, phone and laptop repair


Let me give you a brotherly advice, and I hope you work on it...
First of all I counsel people and I have done that on nairaland for a while... I have met great and good guys...
I dropped a story about my experience teaching in two schools as a corper and would not mind partnering with schools in abuja, but some accused me of looking for teaching job... Never ever mind what people say...
Back to the matter...
As a graduate, teaching and earning 15k, e no bad... But once you have a good (android) phone, go to any car stand of your choice around your area... Listen well, any good car stand and ask to see the manager... Tell him you want to help him market his cars and get good buyers... 90% of car stand managers will sign u on... Tel him you will be paid a small commission after sales...
Pick up your phone, snap as many cars as your phone memory can take, open a dedicated twitter ac, IG ac, Facebook ac, WhatsApp ac, ac etc... Take out time to post this cars, make sure you have the actual prices of this cars... You can add as much as #250k on it... Bring down the negotiations to as low as making #50k if need be just so I can sell. Set your monthly target... I assure you, if you get I client in a month, u make around #100,000k once you start growing, you can get as much as 5-10 client from all over the country and that hits you over #1m for just helping others sell their cars, Note all you invested was your time, energy, phone and data... No big financial capital...
Do not restrict yourself to cars, go for industrial machines as well, caterpillars, mikano gens, any thing, then you look for those big companies that need them and try to call their attention to it or market it to them... You may not sell in 3 months but when you manage to get a client to buy just 1 caterpillars, my brother you will instantly forget that u suffered before...
A friend of mine was marketing a silo for a local wielder, he received a call all the way from kebbi state, the purchase was made in Ilorin, he made #1.8 mil from buyers and #400k from seller... He still got a referral from that deal. Wake up bro...
Within a month or two, come and pay (tite).
I drive uber/bolt in abuja, market cars, sell commodities such as beans, maize, wheat,
ginger,onions, name it... In bags and tonnes
And I make nothing less than half a mil monthly...We all blessed my nigga !

My friend, that's a foolish thing you are about to do. But thank your stars that you asked for advice.

Without a degree, I can assure you that you have less than 5% chance of getting good jobs as a programmer. So don't even try it...

I'm a programmer myself and I'm being real with you.

I think you are new to programming, so you are engrossed with the stories of the Zuckerberg and Larry Ellisons of this world who dropped out of college to build the next big thing.

My friend, you are in a dream land, 99.99% of programmers don't have those stories - especially in Nigeria. So pinch yourself and get out dream of your dream now before you start racking up D's in your courses.

That degree you want to abandon is actually what you'll need to get a good job even in programming - it doesn't matter wether it's Economics or botany. If you have a degree and you are good in programming, trust me, you will get a good programming job.

But if you don't have a degree, you will blame yourself for your decision...

hustla:



Big mistake

FInish first and then do your programming

Even andela go ask for bsc
