I hate it when people say this "go learn a skill", whereas the other person is still struggling to eat a proper meal in a day.

You can't tell someone to learn a tech skill, if there is no money to get monthly subscription or a laptop. you can't tell someone to go learn hairdressing or dressmaking, if I get to pay to learn. Stop telling someone to invest when there is hardly enough to eat.

Learn to help your friends financially first, before dishing out your advice to go learn a skill, after all "na money person dey use to find money.

Learning a skill requires investment. That tech skill requires an average laptop plus heavy data to learn.

That sewing skill requires you to pay an instructor some money to become his/her apprentice.

And so on, and so forth.


Even wheelbarrow job requires you to have your own wheelbarrow, and by extension, money to buy it.

As you’re advising someone on a skill, realize when you check up on him and find he’s not yet on it, that it doesn’t mean he’s uninterested in leaving poverty, nor entirely lazy.

Most times, to obtain the money to buy that laptop, learn sew, and so on and so forth, you’ll have to do a very low and demeaning job to save capital for your flight.


I’m talking about carrying block, etc other work that don’t require a skill, nor owning a tool. Just your bare hands.


This Nigeria is not easy.

I've said it several times, you need money to make more money but these motivational speakers won't rest. They'll say start first, start where you are, just start, you don't ask if the person has eaten that day, you just say start as if the person is a generator. Even Gen needs fuel to start.

Someone will struggle to make 2k a day and data is 1500 already. Online business ko.

People need support. If you can promise to take care of the persons feeding while the person learns a skill it'll be better. Family, friends, all need to support.

True talk, its very easy to tell someone that is struggling to go and learn skill
You never ask if d person don chop first
After learning d skill u didn’t tell d person that he will hustle to get customers which might be harder than d learning itself

Very true..
The best time to learn online skill is when one is still living with his/her parents, because after that it'll be difficult to do so after school especially if you're the type that wouldn't want to go back to stay with your parent after education.

Exactly ooo. I wanted to learn a skill but money has been stoping me. You need money to make money.
I registered for lagos state vocational training at yaba and i expiained to them about the daily tfare, they said i shouldn't bother coming.
I want to start a business too, no money.
Job too, i don apply apply, no way.
I'm tired, really tired.

So they should keep handling out money to them forever.

Oga if you can see money to pay your school fees, if you can see about 100k to learn hairdressing, fashion designing and even buy the sewing machine, how then can you not see money to buy a laptop and subscribe and learn something on youtube?

The only problem I have with Nigerians is those people that will tell you that they are making $1000 every month on affiliate marketing, drop shipping, Amazon Kdp will be telling you to bring 30-60k to learn. How can you be earning 600k a month and be begging people to learn theses for a measly 30k.

If you want to learn a skill learn data science, especially those that want to japa. If you need short term skills that will bring you over 100k a month, learn barbing, hairdressing, fashion designing and when you are through, save up or seek funds as if you have school fees to pay to startup your own.

All these guys making half a million monthly for these online businesses I wonder how they still have the time to teaching people and convincing stubborn heads to buy their courses for 60k. They are making more from teaching than earning in the real sense and that right there, is a serious red flag. If they really want to teach for the passion they can make the courses 10k or 5k and they'll even make more.

interested in learning data analysis, do u have resources I that can lead me to become data analyst

Very valid.
Especially in a city like Lagos.

Hunger go put sporting waves for your belle.

Even what you're learning will not enter your head.
But talk is cheap.

So,
go learn a skill

True. To some extent!
For tech skills:
But a lot of people use phones that are even costlier than average 4th gen laptops, or even hair styling tools!
If you desire a particular skill, learn about it and find people who have gone through the process, sometimes, you could find some way around it without investing so much.
It's not easy, but if you want to leave your current level, you will upgrade yourself against all odds.

If you look at the spending habits of these so called hungry people, you'd see that there's money coming from somewhere, e.g they have the latest phone, Internet access, new wig, Netflix subscrition

They're just choosing not to prioritise investing in themselves

Do menial job.
Save the money from the menial job.
Buy a phone and learn a skill
