Covenant97 I was in your shoes few years ago. I also came to naira land for advice. https://www.nairaland.com/2746344/please-advice-degree-nursing-degree Please, don't despair, you are almost there. Forget Nigeria, you are brilliant, focus on graduating with a first or strong 2:1, start foreign admission in your penultimate year. By God's grace I got in for more than 3 PhD admissions (all fully funded) before I even wrote my final exams in Uni. You can do same too! 3 Likes |

U DON'T NEED TO BE AFRAID OF THE FUTURE FOR ANY REASON OK. FIRST AND FOREMOST WHEN THE STRIKE IS OVER AND U GRADUATE APPRECIATE GOD FOR THAT FIRST. SECONDLY DURING UR NYSC, U CAN START UR ICAN EXAM AND BELIEVE U MEAN ICAN IS NOT AS DIFFICULT AS U THINK IT IS. I HAVE IT AND I CAN TELL U FOR SURE. U CAN BE WRITING THE PAPERS PIECEMEAL OK. U MUST NOT WRITE EVERYTHING ONCE. SECONDLY UR DESTINY AND UR FUTURE DOES NOT DEPEND ON THE DESTINY AND FUTURE OF OTHERS. U ARE ADDING PRESSURE ON YOURSELF FOR COMPARING YOURSELF WITH UR FORMER COURSE MATES. U MUST BE RICHER THAN SOME, SOME MUST BE RICHER THAN U, SOME WILL MARRY BE U AND U WILL MARRY B4 SOME. JUST FOLLOW UR OWN PATH, BUT WHICH EVER PATH U HAVE CHOSEN MAKE SURE U ARE MOVING FORWARD. THIS IS FROM A HEART THAT ONCE HAD SUCH FEARS. U DONT NEED TO BE AFRAID PLS. 5 Likes 2 Shares |

Hmmmmm. What will be will be bro. I finished my diploma at age of 20... Hoping that at worst before 25, I will be a graduate. Spent 5yrs buying DE, yet admission wasn't coming. I have to zero my mind and go back to Poly for my HND after a wasted 5yrs. Now done with my HND, and now held up with Jamb reguralization of a thing. Only the Master knows when Jamb head quarter Abuja will give us the go ahead to do it. I don't want to look at my age now, because it will discourage me. I just hand everything over to God. 2 Likes 1 Share |

You worry tooo much. Do your best and leave the rest to God. Do not fail to take onlie courses that will position you for any IT jobs as you can work remotely. I graduated with a less grade and had to throw my cert somewhere and improve my self in IT. am earning nothing less than *** per month Please focus less on the environment you find yourself (Nigerian) where all they care is 2:1 or grades. The white man will hire you without asking for grades all they care is can you do this job? Please don't worry ur self too much okay. U are too young for wahala weh full life 2 Likes |

I don't think there is much reasons to be worried as it is no fault of yours. If you can't cope with doing ICAN as a student, just wait till you finish school and file for whatever exemptions you qualify for and take it up from there. |

Chimera30:finished high school at 16. Didn't have a sponsor then so I had to hustle, I hustled for 3 years and the proceeds from the hustle was the capital I used to set up a business, at 21 I learnt plumbing and few other skills for two years while managing my business, at 25 I now decided to sponsor myself in the University, got admitted the following year (26) and was doing well academically (2:1) before Nigerian Government under APC and ASUU engaged on a tussle that has so affected me. I'm so depressed at my age I'm still bearing the student tag |

I do tell aspiring undergraduates that they have to factor in ASUU strikes and Nigeria factor in whatever plans roaming in their heads. 2+2 is not 4 here. However OP, run your race according to your own space and consider the best option that suit your desire. Dr Olukoya wrote a book called The Tragedy of Unprofitable Comparison. |

Most of my course mates that went back to undertake HND programme after our 1 year IT program ended up as contract workers in new and old generation banks. It was at the second attempt I got admission into a Federal University, bagged a First Class Honours and presently doing great. I was the subject of ridicule for insisting that I must earn a University degree back then Covenant97: 1 Like |

Vickho:Hello? Its like 'you are me' from alternate universe o. Same age(16) that I left high school, same year (2017)I gained admission, almost same age, facing the same predicament. I even had to chat my course adviser up to tell her my problem and jokingly told her I wished ASUU will call off the strike for me to graduate and then they could continue there strike and she said I'm selfish, that she is disappointed in me. Can you imagine? She doesn't know how depressed I've been for the past 2 months now. 1 Like 1 Share |

Not all big 4 companies specify the age requirement in their job ads. You should do a Google search to know which one in particular, then target that firm. Also, some multinational companies as well as banks will pay you even more than some big 4 firms and they do not discriminate against age. When I say banks, I am not referring to marketing. There are banks that are looking for people to fill in core finance roles. Please focus on passing your ican exam at once. Prepare in advance so that you can complete it just as your service year is ending. You need to read as if you are preparing to join Russian troops in Ukraine. I am a lecturer in a Nigerian University and I teach Accounting. I am confident that a student with your CGPA will do well in the labour market. Overthinking might cause more harm than good. Relax and take each day as it comes. Again, you can decide to go into core fintech by learning a finance related programming language like python or R. Again, ensure that you take your final year project seriously. Don't do plagiarism. Go and learn how to do research in Accounting from scratch. An original study can be published and can help you get a scholarship. Another thing is that when your lecturers know that you are good in research, they can help you get a job in academia. But this is risky because some lecturers can use sweet mouth to deceive students so that they can continue to use them. Lastly, look for a hobby outside academics. Playing musical instruments, poetry, chess, football? Whatever. This can also help in scholarship applications especially if you hold leadership positions in any of these activities. 2 Likes |

I assumed your story headline says: you just finished your OND and you're seeking advice for what wise move you need to take up next, my advise for you would have been this as follow: Get on the street hustle legitimately or get any available job with you OND, save up some fund to initiate a business from small scale, build the business to a significant level that guarantee you a stable financial avenue. Then after all the guidelines mention above have generated you a stable source of income, then you apply for PT program in any university of your choice. This will open you to experience a stress free schooling with certained stable income no pressure you school as a big boy along side your stable income stream, by this you'll experience how easy and enjoyable is school in fact being emerges as a working class to your lecturals you need to see how lecturals will treat you very much better than being a full-time student. Following this path your all this vital life uppermost( careers, business or job opportunity, degree and others) will fall in place along as you're ageing up. I didn't wrote all this to condemned your chosen path or make you up any regression but to serve a token of advice for others whom theirs present situation required it so as to serve a wise move them. |

JooEeL: You stated a problem which is Nigeria.But you didn't state any solution. Should we all sit back at home and wait for a miraculous catapult to fire us abroad? Should we ignore making good grades just because our counterparts abroad don't care about grades? Should we desist from protesting and stop expressing our grievances towards the appropriate authorities? Your write up is anything but complete. 1 Like |
