ayodeji4christ: A good way to approach this is to think about what interests you in your field of study. It could be a topic you found interesting in one of your undergraduate courses that you will like to learn more about or a concept you think is worth your time pondering on. This will guide you as you use it in an inverted funnel way. You use that one thing and expand on it to find in what different ways you can explore it. For example, I studied economics. One of the things that I found interesting was National Income right from High School. The reason was the effect Structural Adjustment Program (SAP) had on my family. That was a driving force that led me into thinking I would want to understand how policies are formulated better. Nonetheless, thinking about National Income, Per Capita Income, and the GDP of Nigeria; I thought it will be interesting studying how we might be able to use policy to improve the Oil and Gas sector which was/is our major source of income. Therefore, my research interest went in that direction. I could think of National Income and think more about it from a GDP perspective and think of how Government can improve living standards. This might lead me into Macroeconomics and can guide me in the area of Taxation/Fiscal or Financial/Monetary Economics. It could at the same time make me think of how can we make our industries better perhaps, I am more interested in Economics from an individual/firm perspective and that could make me think of researching more in Industrial Economics to see how firms and individuals interact in the market space. I might also think about it from how government behaviors affects firms/industry decisions. In essence, let your heart think of that one thing that fascinates you and let your imagination guide you as to what you really would want to ponder on and not get frustrated. 9 Likes 1 Share |

What country were you living before returning to Nigeria? What was the status you guys held in the country? Were you born there? You might want to exploit the possibilities of returning there if you think it is a much saner environment and you can build your life there. |

BornAgainCow: Big fat shame on you. You are proud you are cutting corners and would count that as something worth mentioning? You are part of the problems of Nigeria. BigDawsNet: When they beg you for secondary school make you focus for class, you say no. What is the minimum wage in Nigeria and what is it where they buy the pizza for $8? This comparison is the silliest thing anyone should do. May compare in terms of purchasing power parity. tosinhtml: What was minimum wage in 2002 and what is it in 2023? Perhaps, a comparison of those two side by side with their proportional value when compared to housing might help us understand if things have changed drastically. On the housing issue in Canada, I wouldn't want to blame the government because opening up the economy is good however, I think they were not fast enough in their planning for the increasing population. 2 Likes |

The only problem I have with Nigeria is that things are not getting better and unfortunately, we keep allowing the elites play us the way they want to. I started work in 2007 with a salary of a little over N120k which was approximately $950USD as of then. Today, many of those I started with earn between N700k and N1.2m on the average which is approximately $780USD and $1350USD respectively 16 years after. What that means is that some have lost earning power over 16 years while others have only gained about 50% in earnings over 16years. Worst is that the price of things have way skyrocketed between this period. Abroad isn't all rosy nonetheless, it is pretty decent in terms of rising cost and income too is revisited from time to time to ensure people are able to meet minimum living standards. 7 Likes 1 Share |

What lesson do you want to teach a 37year old man who chose his path? If you do not support him and the wife he chose, let him be. If he comes around for your blessing, decided if you want to give or otherwise. If he comes for help and you can't render, let him know. |

My mom sold food for years and we don't pay because it is from that food we cook to go sell in the morning that everyone takes their breakfast from. Occasionally, my dad stops by on his way to work and will eat for free. I have said it before, for us it was the family business my mom started after SAP to support my dad who lost his big position and had to take a smaller one. Today, it is history, we all are happy, grateful, and well read. 39 Likes 3 Shares |
