Getting into the university before learning a marketable skill (soft or otherwise)

Buying nigerian used cars

Carrying olosho

Horbar1:
If I may ask, why ? Because one of my kids wants to be a med doc.

Haven't you noticed all d doctors are running away from Nigeria?
How many fine houses have u ever seen and they said it belongs to a Dr?
Unless the child will have in mind that it's just for him/her to study and then migrate.
Then female too,it favours them cos anything a female brings in thr family is considered a bonus unlike a man that is expected to build a house in the town and in the village,buy car,rent house,school fees etc

Lol .. I won laugh die. Why would u study botany as a man in Nigeria. I won laugh die.

Years back... I wanted to major in Marine Engineering because I had a zeal for it. After writing jamb.. I pass jamb then I do not meet up post utme cut off. They always gv me stupid courses. I did watch all my set go into Uniben... Uniport.. Delsu. Landmark.. Futo... It was not funny oh. Everyone at home then looked at me like a failure. All my friends with the Estate were in school. Reading funny funny courses because they didn't want to stay at home.

I had to settle with Mechanical Engineering.

But do you or ever regretted studying mechanical engineering?

Let's discuss as a family, those mistakes you made which you later regret and you wouldn't want your children to make.

Mine was going to the university without learning a skill and solely hoping to land a good paying job with the certificate after school. When "Nigeria" dawned on me, I realized I made a mistake by not fortifying myself with skills while going to school.

My children will not make such a mistake. If God approves, they will go into sports and entertainment from tender age.



Let's learn from each other.

Sucking of pussy, that na bad thing 😒☺️😊

SugarGirl44:
Not learning about making money early enough.
Would also wish for them to get married a bit earlier, girls 23-25, boys 26-28.

Nice. Please, what's the rationale behind marrying earlier?

Your comment reminded me of what someone said, when I told her about her son's, acting like a doctor in class, that maybe the boy will be a med. doctor and the woman said God forbid, what do doctors have? I was like...

AdsterraLord:
"being too NICE to people". Do you know that NICE means a stupid and a foolish person?

There's is a difference between being Nice, polite, courteous or kind.

Most Nigerians confuse this and start portraying a bad attitude because they don't want to be considered as Nice, everybody should be courteous and polite.

Patosky4U:
Not been patient to study my dream course (MBBS) instead I went on to study biochemistry in a country that do not value it

I don't think the problem is studying Biochemistry in Nigeria.
What is the guarantee that you would have done better with an MBBS certificate?

Same here, I regretted not learning any Skill and my mum was a fashion designer, I didn't even know how to fix thread in the machine.
Now my children are learning skills, once is long vacation, they resume their apprenticeship. I told them to go and learn what they have passion for, at least when they are done with university, if government didn't employ them, they will employ themselves.

Boss tell me more, I'm on the same track too I once applied for mbbs but was given Biochemistry and I'm now in 300L, just getting negative reviews everywhere have you anything to tell me??

Graduate with 1st class or 2:1 at a young age, preferably 24-25.
Get your masters immediately after NYSC and you will surely enjoy your Biochemistry in Nigeria.

Avoid akara junction to college bus-stop at aduwawa road, i thought i was living never knew i was dieing

sherylbaky:
Apply for medical sales rep, biochemists are making it in that field

Do you have any available vacancies? I've been doing that.

Living in Nigeria!

Whiterose21:

But do you or ever regretted studying mechanical engineering?

Yeah. I do. To be sincere all I wanted was Marine Engineering. I had to prove to my father that I was not a failure. I came out with 2.1. few points to first class. I felt happy because my Dad was proud but to what end man. It was never my dream just a point to prove.

When it done on me that I will never make any decision again base on what people think was the very moment I worked at steel industries during my school days and Industrial Training.

When I eventually have kids I won't let them make career decisions because they want to make me proud but what they love doing.

It’s plenty:

Marrying for the wrong reason and being too nice to people.
I realized life is a jungle late am still finding it hard to adjust

If you married as a virgin, the marriage would have lasted.
The effect of having so many BODYCOUNT before marriage is very grave...

I just realized. Thank Goodness it's not late for me

Soulseeker01:

Quite true
There is this trickish pressure that also comes with all your friends getting married & discussing their family in every gathering. If one is not careful, u can end up in a wrong marriage not to feel odd.

Not being very very smart and sharp. No defense mechanism.

I want my kid/kids to be very capable of defending themselves, very confident, very sharp, able to make people who mess with them regret, able to stand their ground, be a likeable person without any strange hatred from the public attached to them, etc.

Well, can't blame you for that. We live in a judgemental world. So that means you married a really good looking guy huh?

Hmmn you were part of those young girls wey no Dey use eye see fine boy lol

Those girls that will boast about their handsome bobo

Those Ladies that like TDH

Well marrying because someone is pretty or handsome is same as buying a house because of its paintings. Sooner or later it will fade
