Sad.

Two things you need:
1. A lucrative online business. See top 10 ideas here: https://zestmade.com/blog/online-business-ideas/

2. A professional web developer to help you build a solid online presence for your business. That developer is me, of course. Let's get started here: https://zestmade.com

Bad

Learn Computer science on your own. Continue with mathematics.

If it's about job,

Most software development job basically care how good you are as a developer, not your course of study. Even if course matters, there are no better courses than CS, mathematics, engineering and related fields.

But note: Computer Science is NOT programming. They are like comparing car and tree.

All the best.

1. Don't Assume Money Will Motivate You


In an interview with Bustle over email, motivational trainer (plus business and life coach) Karen Strunks says, "Many people think money alone will be enough to motivate them, and whilst that may do so initially, it's very hard to sustain financial motivation if the work you are doing actually drags. If you do that type of work for long enough you will find that no amount of money is worth swapping parts of your life in activities that aren't aligned with who you are and what truly is your passion and mission in life." So first things first, be true to yourself when it comes to setting goals!

2. Make Sure They're Your Goals


And on that note, Strunks also says that, "One of the biggest challenges in staying motivated and sticking to our goals is in making sure that the goals we have set our ones we really want to attain." She went on to note, "Sometimes we set goals based on what we think we 'should' do. Or we base them on what other people say." Make sure you're going after something that you want and that makes you happy — it can make all the difference.

3. Visualize The Results


According to a piece featured on Forbes about staying motivated, it's important to visualize the end result and what it will feel like when you've achieved your end goal. This means visualizing the sweat on your back, the feeling of relief, the utter excitement — this is what will fuel you on days when you don't feel like working.

4. Play as the key to self motivation

Studies have shown that enjoyable activities is the key to self motivation.

For example, a study investigating reasons for exercise shows that those focused on weight loss spend 32% less time exercising than those who are just exercising to feel better in their day to day life.

Hello there!

I'm an entrepreneur, software developer (esp. web and Android apps) and graduate engineer.

I studied mechanical engineering at the university of Nigeria Nsukka and graduated with a good CGPA.

I finished my NYSC last month (April, 2018).

I started learning programming when I was in the university. Not long after that, I started learning online businesses.

It took me quite a number of unsuccessful online businesses before I could start making money. For example, some of my past failed blogs include zestari.com, techzino.com, techlino.com, cozy247.com, makemoneyonlineapex.com, and a host other, including ones that don't require me having my own website.

Why did I briefly introduce myself?

Because I want you to have a little understanding of me before I start talking things that will benefit you.

Now, let's see what I have to say....

I have one advice for you: if you haven't started, start now to learn lucrative skills. Study about business and learn entrepreneurship everyday!

*********

No matter where you're, you can help yourself by learning lucrative skills that will surely help you bome a successful entrepreneur. Most people don't take action with this opportunity we all have.

***********

Education is good. It is important. I can testify to that. However you must understand one thing: education is not equal to wealth. Your certificate won't turn to bunch of businesses or bags of money.

I don't have much money YET, but from my experience in my quest for money so far, I know this: you make money when you have something of value to offer, which people need and will be willing to pay for it.

That thing of value are usually good skills, knowledge, etc.

Hence, if you end up having just a certificates... sorry, you have just some papers so you can go and join the queue of millions other Nigerian graduates with papers.

If you're wise and smart however, you should equip yourself for success. Learn something! Master something!

...And, help others in anyway you can.

WHAT to do?

There many things you can do. Start from somewhere: read entrepreneurship books, learn businesses, investing, eCommerce, etc. Learn lucrative skills like digital marketing, mobile apps development, cake baking, mini scale manufacturing, importation, etc etc etc. There are tons of things to learn.

************

Why all this "preaching?"

************
I know someone is already waiting for the reason behind all my "preaching". Well, let me not disappoint you. This is it:

Many people enjoy motivational speech, but only very few take action and put in consistent effort. Are people not tired of just motivational articles?

Now, if you're interested in taking action, let's do it! I have an online business training coming up. It's going to hold ONLINE on Facebook Group or WhatsApp.

The prices is very much reduced so anyone can afford it. It's just N2,000 to be a part of this training that will SHOW you how to do it, not those ones that tell you what can be done without showing you how to...

+++ In addition to the 99% free training, you get a free eBook and free blog (for those that will choose blogging) at the end of the training.

~ Are you in for N2,000? Send me a message on Facebook: https://facebook.com/arinze.zest


+++ Don't have N2,000 or don't believe me it would be worth it?

Well, if N2,000 is too much for you or you think this is " just another typical online business training", you can still get many free tutorials online. But, I know free tutorials can't yield great results compared to a step by step guide I'm ready to offer and technical assistance I will offer for free.

If making money online is as easy as buying ebooks or online courses that tell you what to do without showing you how to do it, everyone would have been rich. In fact, bankers would quit their seeming stressful jobs.

Thanks. God bless your endeavors.

Without SEO, your online businesses may NEVER succeed. Here, you find the 10 most important SEO tips you really need.

NOTE: If you haven't started any profitable online business yet, quickly see the Latest online businesses in Nigeria that pay 2018: http://www.dontro.com/list-latest-online-businesses-nigeria-2017-updated/

Top 10 SEO techniques

1. Remove anything that slows down your site.
Apart from it's adverse ranking effect, A slow page can frustrate the user experience and ultimately discourage people from buying your product.

2. Link to other websites with relevant content.
Linking out to other blogs is critical to growth. Don't be selfish where you need to link out.

3. Write for humans first, search engines second.
Don’t prioritize search engines over the actual humans reading your work. Instead, write content for the user, people who have eyes to read and credit cards to purchase your product. Search spiders are just scripts — they don’t buy products, they don’t engage with you on social media, and they won’t become a loyal customer.

4. Encourage other trustworthy sites to link to you.
To a large extent, inbound links are still the lifeblood of search engine rankings.

5. Have web analytics in place at the start.
After defining your search engine optimization goals clearly, you need software to track what’s working and what’s not.

6. Write unique and relevant meta descriptions for every page.
One of the most important SEO tips that most people neglect is the well-crafted meta description.

The meta description is the first section that people see when Google serves up your page to search users.

7. Use readable and meaningful URLs only.
If users can’t read or understand your URL, then search engines may be confused as well.

8. Build momentum with social signals.

It’s true that Google hasn’t added social signals into their ranking algorithm factors, but I’ve personally seen that social signals do impact search engine rankings.

9. Use the right keywords in your images.
Images are important in search engine optimization.

Google dedicated an entire section of its search results to images. This should tell you how concerned the search engine giant is with pictures.

10. Create & publish unique content consistently to improve your rankings.

The Interim Joint Matriculation Board (IJMB) was set up in 1974 under statute 5 of the Ahmadu Bello University Law to run the Interim Joint Matriculation Board Examination (IJMBE) as an equivalent ‘A’ Level Examination, to students or candidates who may wish to seek undergraduate admission into Ahmadu Bello University and other Universities.

However, note that there are many other schools that offer IJMB. See List of those schools here: http://edungr.com/schools-that-accept-ijmb/

IJMB is a one year course designed to serve as intermediate course of study to train students from various institutions based on a syllabus to gain insight into basic tools of seventeen subjects for taking up advance studies in divert profession in any Nigerian Universities at 200 levels.

The Interim Joint Matriculation Board Examination is conducted yearly, essentially for Advanced Level (A/L) subjects for candidates already admitted by colleges affiliated to the Board for the purpose of the examinations. In addition, two Ordinary Level (O/L) subjects (English and Mathematics) are also offered for candidates who may be deficient in these two O/L subjects.

The Interim Joint Matriculation Board Examination (IJMBE) is a qualifying examination into Nigerian and Foreign Universities. The examination is primarily for Advanced Level subjects for Direct Entry (200 level) into the Universities and two (2) Ordinary Level subjects (English and Mathematics), which are basic requirements for admission into Universities.

The Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has, from 1978 been the moderating agency to the IJMB Examinations. JAMB participates in moderating the questions and supervising the marking of the scripts through external moderators they recruit from universities throughout the country.

Some courses are almost useless in terms of "opportunities" in Nigeria, unless you have your personal plan/reason for going for it.

Get information about your from more reliable sources before you apply. But don't believe nonsense posted by Nigerian bloggers. In fact, you can't get this answer from those bloggers who post crap they don't know. They're so careless about the information they post...

--------

My personal opinion (not based on any data but my little research),

If u like your choice course, good, go for it. However, there are other courses I know are also among the best in this 21st century.... in Nigeria

For "Science" Students

I don't think u can go wrong with courses like:

Tech:
- Software Engineering,
- Computer Science,
- Electrical, Mechanical, Civil, Electronic engineering
Etc.

Medical:
- Medicine
- Nursing
- Pharmacy
Etc.

Mind you, I am from engineering background, hence, my post might be influenced much by it.

For "Art" students:
- ACCOUNTANCY,
- MARKETING,
- ESTATE MANAGEMENT.
- Economics and Law are also good.
Etc.
