If you can subtly advice him to leave the school. Even his parents will understand. I know several folks who left their institution because of cultism and are doing fine right now. Life is most precious.

happened In Ekosodin actually.

Better find somewhere else and pack to. Fast.

We all live in the school's hostel. I don't have anywhere to go.

Just found out one of my roommate was forcefully initiated yesterday night. This is scary. Now he's scared, everyone in the room is scared.

Nawa o.

Same age as you, but same issue. Relax, it takes time.

For now; Real analysis.

It has its good and bad sides. Isn't that the Nwa Boy system Igbos practice? Not everyone can be an entrepreneur and the sort of business that post suggests no pass buying and selling. The surest route out of poverty and into the middle class is via quality education. Rather than cajole teenagers to become traders, arm them with the necessary skills to study relevant courses, and at good schools.

Thank you.

No one gives a fvck, miss.

Parents, stop sending your young children to university immediately after they finnish secondary school, especially if you're from the lower or middle class. Call them and ask them if there's any business they'll like to learn before they enter school. Let them use one year to go and learn that business with a sensible person (not boyboy format ohh). When you're sure they've learnt that business well, that money you want to use in sending them to school in a country like Nigeria that doesn't value education or have good educational system, use it to start up that business for them. With your guidance and prayers, after 5 to 6 years, you will a young million naira in your hands and they will be doing far better than their mates that went to school and graduated after that 5 or 6 years.. Later in life they can even employ people to run the business for them in their absence, while they go to school.
In this life, wisdom is profitable to direct.

1. Since you have started it, then please complete it, to avoid wasting the time/resources/efforts already invested. Also, having a university degree has its own privileges, regardless of the field of study.

2. But you must formulate a career/moneymaking plan that is transnational, i.e., not location and naira-dependent. Some people do it on YouTube, some do it via online selling, freelancing, IT, etc.

3. If you have nothing to your name and have to grow from zero, then your best shot at success is in a field that is skill-based, not degree/certification-based, although, certification can be a complement.

4. This means that you are good at those skills, e.g. Usain Bolt doesn't have a degree in running, but he trained for over 20 years just to run for 10 seconds and be the fastest man.

5. So learn a skill, be it making the best suits, making the beast steak, or being a god in programming, app design, writing, website building, etc. You don't have to do the skills I mentioned, they are just examples.

6. But you must know also that you do not have the privilege of being selective or picky or doing your hobby. My hobby is sleeping at home and hope my account balance increases, but life doesn't work that way.

7. So it is about the formula that works, and skill-based professionals will always be sought after. Get your degree for the sake of it, but along the line, create time to perfect a skill, and then monetization is next.

8. But one that is easily accessible to all regardless of background is IT-related fields. So programming, designing, website building, animations, sketching, UI, etc., or creating IT solutions for business.

9. If you go to Udemy.com, there are some Nigerians teaching there, and they have students from all over the world paying for their courses. Even on YouTube, there are big Nigerian chefs selling courses in USD, and making thousands monthly.

10. It is about taking your destiny into your own hands. So you must first understand you don't have a country, and operate on that basis. So your flesh should be in Nigeria, but formulate your affairs in a way that your income does not depend on it.

11. Now all these might take you years to achieve, depending on the fire burning inside you, but if you are serious, it can take you two years, or even less.

12. Another advantage of a skill-based strategy is that it is less expensive. If you want to be a programmer, for example, you need only a laptop, free courses that are scattered online, and DRIVE. The drive is the most important thing.

13. You have to want it like you are dying tomorrow. And spend at least three hours (usually 8hours) on it every day. Elon Musk, for example, that man has more drive than me.

Go check out his working routine, and you will understand why some people are poor, and some are wealthy. Elon Musk is a man who sleeps on the Tesla factory floor, working round the clock, just to make use of every second in a 24-hour circle.

14. Such drive is what you need, and no forces on earth will be able to stop you. Even Nigeria, lol. Just make sure your skill is something transnational, so no barbing, painting, a vulcanizing. You can't export, duplicate, and scale such skills.

Thank you very much sir. This advice was really need right now in my life. God bless you.

What are you studying?

Schooling in itself is not a waste of time, but it depends on what you studied, and how you studied it. So for example, it's advisable to study part-time, or online for humanity and social science courses.

Time is your priceless asset, even more important than wealth. For example, you would rather be 22 and broke, than be 95 and a billionaire. In fact, I will personally be 22 and broke, rather than 55 years old and a billionaire.

So if your course is not something like medicine, earth sciences, etc. that you can't do online, then to be smart, study it online/part-time, then have time to do other things.

Sad thing is that most people wont tell you this, and you learn when you have made so much mistake, and by mistake, I mean wasting time, or not utilising your time well.

Having said that, you have to write more about the specificity of your case. What do you study? BSc or masters? fulltime and which level are you?

whats going on?

Good evening. I need your advice regarding my situation/condition/state.
Here goes: I know you've always drummed it into our heads, not to waste our precious time in a university, and instead look for a business or skill to get involved with. But my problem is I've gone too far with my university education, I have no skill. I can literally predict how my life will be in 10 years' time if I continue like this.
My question is this: what valuable advice can you give to me right now?

pansophist:
Just ask.

Stop taking permission to ask questions. To avoid unnecessary back and forth.

My question is not related to the thread's topic, that's why I asked for permission first, since I really need an answer. I'll tag you in a dead thread.

pansophist:
Moldova and Ukraine disagree with you.

MikeofKd:

These are the Easiest ways to make friends as an introvert.

This is actually my intended plan, this new session.

helinues:
Waste of time.

It doesn't worth it.

Why do you think so?

Just like the title says; I'm struggling with my social life. I thought going to a university will change things for me, but I thought wrong. I just rounded off my 100lvl, and I just realized that I made zero friends. Mostly all alone by myself, everyday.
Any tip/advice would be highly welcomed.

@dominique @lalasticlala @mynd44, this topic would get more traction if on the FP.

udemzyudex:
To go bios setup and change it to legacy mode.

Good morning. Please, how much can I get a new board for HP elitebook 8440p?

Congratulations.

They probably won't have electricity for about 2 weeks.

A large number of nairalanders are poor. So, it's not surprising the quality of the suggestions being proferred. It's like asking a below-par student how to make a first?

Gst.

TheBillyonaire:
Still shocked that I bought my first home at Lekki at 23 after failing to launch Radio Station, TV Station and Continental NewsPaper but succeeded in other enterprises. I dreamt so big in my 20s . Now 23 years old are exploring how to give women orgasm,

If you don't mind; care to share how you were able to achieve that at such a young age? And I know you were not from a "rich" home, because I've read your story from your previous accounts. Thanks.

You have herpes.

Stop wasting your money on antibiotics as they don't work on herpes being a viral infection.[/quote]I've never had sex. So, not possible.

Serves him right. He should have been killed instead.

drsibz66:
It's quite funny. Cos you haven't stated any symptoms. Why have you done the test. Cos 90% of humans will have a positive staph aureus test come out positive. The only way you can get help is to describe your symptoms so it can be interpreted with the results . Otherwise, No one can help you. The test is useless without history of symptoms.

FSBoperator:
It's a long standing scam between crooked doctors and shady labs.

A staph infection will kill a human instantly .

I was also diagnosed, or should I say "misdiagnosed" with this infection, and I've spent a lot on antibiotics, even though I'm just a student. The only symptoms I have are small lumps on my penis, and on some parts of my body.
