Do not look at it like that. Remember the search for the missing Nigerian girls of Chibok picked up after cries were done by people outside the country. It was Nigerians overseas that cried out and the international community joined in.

As I said, no matter how little their contribution is, it should be welcomed.

thegoodjoehunt3:
Every little effort should be appreciated and not rebuked. They are not here in Nigeria with us but they have their hearts and eyes here.

If what they do abroad will lead to help here, then they have done well.

Dis is no rape. Pple jex misquoted dis news to mek islam look bad.They were caught fornicating and it's the perfect judgment. Had it been sharia law ll b implemented in Nigeria lyk dis. I think pple will learn to keep demselves clean n marry early. Bt sadly nw, sex has nw turned to a normal day to day activity btw untied beeins.pple hav nw turned to animals all in d name of human right.I wish somtin lyk dis wil b implemented in Nigeria so it ll serve as an example for odas.

From your response, its pretty obvious that You miss the point of this article. Please re-read the article objectively, i believe you might eventually get it. The so called examples you cited - Alaba traders, Hausa cattle rearers - all require some form of training/apprenticeship. I guess you will agree with me that more educated/efficient/packaged competitors in such sectors will do better. For example, Alaba might be hot today but its evident that Konga and Jumia would eat them up in the nearest future. Hausa cattle rearers might be doing fine but mechanized cattle rearing would destroy their current business model. Whether you believe it or not, "schooling" helps.

Am not a drop out but i can relate to the OP's post. After NYSC, i left several job offers to "focus" on my business and it failed woefully. In retrospect, i failed for several reasons which the Op had highlighted - insufficient funds, non-existent soft landing, no partner and a few more. These are lessons i wished i had learned earlier but learnt the hard way. My advise to any would be entrepreneur is simple: work for a while to build up cash flow - you will need it and experiment with your business idea on a small scale to confirm its viability. If the idea proves financially viable, by all means drop out/quit that job and focus on your business. If it fails, remain in school/your day job and life goes. Repeat this process till you make your millions.That way, your not left broke or educationally bankrupt. Running a business is EXTREMELY hard when you don't have adequate financial backing. Please note my use of "adequate" cos there's this pervasive mentality that assumes you need lots of capital to start. You don't. You just need enough to get you going through the initial testing phase. It might be much, it might be little. What really matters is that you "have it".

I have shared my experience, those who have ears, let them hear.

P.s: I miss the good old days when Nairaland was a place to learn and engage in enlightening discussions such as this one. Now, its an eyesore. Every piece of shit with no atom of intellectual utility makes it to the front page. I weep for nairaland. The end might be near.

.......That's exactly what the devil wants you to believe,`Heaven is really boring and all you'll do all day is sing and sing. No activities'.....The truth is,the best place to be is heaven and that's why the devil don't want you to be there.Where he lost out of heaven, he vowed to make sure the sons of men don't go there.....The best selfie would be the one the righteous saints would take when they get to heaven.....Think of the best times of your life,multiply it by infinity,the answer is what you would get if you make it to heaven.....The reason why you think of heaven the way you do,is because,just as it is impossible for the fish to find joy in living on the dry sands of the sahara dessert,sinful souls would never desire the things of heaven,until it is energized by God,through the Holy Spirit,for the sake of Jesus,the Messiah....
