Many youths now have sense, they learn different skills right from their secondary days, and some r into business big time, some even hustle through yahoo(though dis is bad but atleast they r doing well)

During my time and my parent are so obsessed with school. I spent about 5-6 yrs to seek admission n with naija factors I wasted another 6years in university. I finished @30 served and when I apply for jobs they say I’m too old. Even 50k job dem dey use me do yanga. But the good thing about life is there are numerous opportunities to make it in life. Be open to ideas and ready to learn, unlearn and relearn. God is faithful sha, once u r not giving up

God bless you for sharing your experience sir.

Time is very crucial and thankfully some youths have smartened up. Unlike those days, how many people nowadays really have time to spend 4, 5, or even 8 years to study a course or even a skill when the chances of getting a reasonable income from it are evidently slim. Time itself is very important and should be used wisely as the people of the world say.

Until people's minds are healed and cleared of the mentality that only high formal education guarantees success, there will be a transformation financially in most lives. As soon as we get rid of that delusion, we might find the wealth and happiness that have always eluded us.

Unless village people don use your brain go shrine, then you will become useless including your million dollar skills.

I have made reasonable money from my electrical works copious enough to erect a self contain at age 21. I have also bought 3 keke and gotten two people who rent it everyday to bring back home an amount of #1, 500 daily each along with my freelancing and online businesses.

Some people just don't take time to think things through.

Though we have some exceptions, formal education isn't always a guarantee for success especially in a country like Nigeria in this fast changing world.

Apparently, a large number of people especially in Nigeria believe that all the problems of life is only solved in the classroom which is an extremely poor way of reasoning as we have a lot of graduates who spent quality years of their lives at school with nothing solid to show for it except for knowledge of facts and figures and maybe by grace, a mediocre job.

Most graduates with good degrees are painfully left without jobs and some who managed to find one end up with low paying jobs given the circumstances, some even get employed by people who never attained the level of education they have.

Another obvious thing is that when most students graduate, they graduate at ages society deem old enough to settle and be financially independent such as ages between 27 - 35 - ages that seem like a bad and delayed start for life establishment especially as a man.

I mean if a guy graduates at such age,

At when will he get a job?
When then will he be financially stable?
When will he have enough to build a home?
When will he have enough to cater for a family?
Won't it most likely translate to perpetual poverty if he closes his eyes and starts a family?

And if a lady graduates at such age?

At when will she be financially independent if it is her desire?
When will she settle, will she dump her certificate and start to seek for a man as the recent demonstration of most ladies have shown?

And why will someone especially a random guy despite seeing all that is happening in the country choose to underestimate early skill acquisition and business learning and choose to spend his adulthood gaining more facts just to come out hustling like a drop out?

Personally, I disagree with the belief that ONLY higher education is a guarantee for success in terms of money making especially in a country like Nigeria where there are scarcity of jobs for most courses being taught in schools.

Higher education though is good, useful and efficacious, isn't an assurance for financial stability and time is crucial for everyone especially the ambitious and smart people who value it and won't choose to venture into anything they deem unproductive or likely to have less chances of success.

Better to use the early years to learn a lucrative skill or business and put it into use before the late ages than to spend a long period of time in the classroom only to come out to start hustling like a drop out.

My opinion isn't for everyone though as some people still make it through formal education but I'm just being realistic.

Out of every 200 graduates, about 20 only end up with better paying jobs, mostly based on connections. We see it in our hood everyday. Quite a issue to consider by someone who intends to start life and turn out successfully in due time.

I believe that formal education like every other form of education is just a plus to our knowledge while self education and discovery is what guarantees how far we will go in terms of money making.

Those who made fortunes today did so out of self discovery and not necessarily formal education.

Let us discover what suits us best so as not to burn our fingers later on.

I mean what do you think?

Draslo:
Many people, especially those who know me personally might find this hard to believe. I used to be the definition of an ashawo man. This is the longest I've ever stayed since I became sexually active in2004. This past year, I've made more more money than I have ever made in my existence. I've closed many deals, onshore and offshore, won up to just a little short of 8m on 1xbet since January.

Now I'm scared to have sex cause I just feel it'll usher in bad luck. How did you break a run of celibacy? Will I need a therapist?

[color=navy] Congrats on your great achievement. Ignore those guys up there speaking from their jealous minds[/color]

[color=navy] This is what happens when a foolish man earns money. He forgets himself and gives his strength, time and money to women who doesn’t want him. Funny enough he thinks his money will buy her love and loyalty.

@op, love has no price, it comes naturally. If you dare believe all these "charitable works" you are doing will make her love or want you, you're in on a long thing. Women use men like your type to sustain their lifestyle and give their totality to guys who they chase.

What am I saying? If a woman doesn't indicate interest in you romantically, she isn't worth your investment. She sure doesn't love you else her incessant and inconsiderate demands. You, the mugu is the one in love. Blind love as a matter of fact.

If you're smart, you'll know that relationships are mostly temporary and giving much of yourself into it can mentally and financially destroy you. Best to use your brain now or she'll use it for you.

[color=navy] Thanks for your time[/color]

Please send your whatsapp details to my mail, let's discuss better.

[color=navy] That will be very uncomfortable for me at the moment. Why don't you just enlighten me here? Perhaps it might spite the interest of someone else. [/color]

Please help me in details, thanks. [/color]

I have only said these words once in my adult life, and I said them to the person I loved more than anything. As embarrassing as it is to admit, it was my most recent relationship, and I'm well past the age where I should be telling anyone I hate them. But I did. Michael had knowingly hurt me on a level that elicited so much pain and anger, hatred was the only way I could describe it.

The details of what happened between us are complicated, and they usually are. But essentially, he launched an emotional warfare that ended in utter destruction of the kindness, love I had. It was absolutely heartbreaking to watch someone I love so deeply treat me in the most degrading way ever yet I stayed hoping for the best.

In the end though, it wasn't how bad he treated me that hurt the most, because I (stupidly) was still in love with him but him intentionally hurting me all because of he knew I genuinely loved him.

I had to create a diary for it too, at least to read how I unknowingly allowed myself to love the wrong person genuinely.

[color=navy]

Sorry for what you have been through but complaining and crying doesn't solve anything. That and those biased commenters up tbere will only make you more depressed. Let it hurt, let it heal, lick your wounds and move on.

In this life, never be emotionally attached to people who don't want you cause you'll just be manipulated and dropped afterwards. I'm sure you had guys that loved you but you didn't accept them not knowing that it's when your guy loves you more that guarantees your happiness in the relationship.

Well, you aren't a child. You should be careful how you love next time.

That's all I have to say. [/color]

English isn't hard, please get your facts straight. I clearly said, I AM HIGHLY MOTIVATED, JUST LIKE MY FATHER. LIKE FATHER LIKE SON. dating any girl only gives me EXTRAMOTIVATION.

I getting advice doesn't mean I'm now in business with anybody, we arent business partners. Or you mean to say the experts I sometimes pay for financial pointers ARE NOW BUSINESS PARTNERS WITH ME?

[color=navy] Don't argue with that guy. He is just too dumb not bright enough to understand your point. You're right by the way. I can attest to what you said[/color]

DonSmith123rr4:
Please i didnt fall in love. I did everything because she was adding value to my business not about love. Infact i was even planning to make her my manager by June

[color=navy]I'm sorry Sir but romance is bad for business. You just have to drop her. Shouldn't be that hard since you don't love her[/color]

Kriss216:
A guy lose 98.98987% of his senses the moment he's in love.

[color=navy]He also in some cases loses his productiveness. Men who fall in love especially with the wrong ladies will have inevitable troubles. [/color]

[color=navy]Nice op. Also on people...

1. Generally, people are more likely to assume you're being rude when you're being honest.

2. Don’t chase people. Be you, do your thing, do what you like doing. The right people who resonate with who you really are will come naturally and stay.

3. Saying Thank You, makes people think you are a warmer person.

4. Great things happen when you distance yourself from all the negative people.

5. People don't know themselves. Almost 98% of population lack body wisdom.

6. People who do something for you will never forget you and people who do something bad to you will never forgive you.

7. Sometimes you have to do what's best for you and your life, not what's best for everybody else.

8. Always be honest so when you have to lie, people will believe you.

9. Respect people who find time in their schedule to see you. Love people who never look at their schedule when you need them.

10. Being with positive, happy people keeps you happier. So feel free to talk to me if you ever feel depressed.

11. People don't listen to the smartest person in the room, they listen to whoever acts as if they know what's right.

12. Ironically, the person you'd take a bullet for sometimes ends up being the one behind the gun.

13. Other people's opinions should never affect the decisions you make. It's your life, not theirs. Do what makes you happy. The people who try to keep everyone happy end up feeling the loneliest.

14. If you really want something from someone, frame it as an offer rather than a request.

15. Whoever is trying to bring you down is already below you.

16. People who are too nice are also the once to get hurt most! Mind how you're nice to people. Set your standards.

17. If people don't realize your worth, then they don't deserve to be with you. Don't allow people who don't appreciate you to let you down.

18. If you really want something from someone, frame it as an offer rather than a request.

19.People will remember not what you said, but how you made them feel. A good reason not to over focus on what you did and didn’t say. Creating a small distance will help people realize how much you mean to them.

20. People who are spiritual and thankful for what they have are least likely to be depressed…so always count your blessings [/color]

[color=navy]I think you're dumb and shallow and in a way somewhat prodigal and not shrewd with money at all.

Moreover I feel your relationship is like this... [/color]

neutralmind:
I disagree with your submission. Research has shown that children have the ability to learn and speak up to 3 different languages at the same time without any problem.

Our dducated Parents and fore fathers back then could speak queen's english and the local languages effectively.

Names like: Ojukwu, Tafawa Balewa, Ahmadu Bello, Chinua Achebe, Nnamdi Azikiwe, Bola Ige and many more.

Note: the names listed are popular names. I believe we all can verify how these men could effectively switch from Queens English to the local language.

[color=navy] The odds are very few. People especially children have limitations in learning. Besides, recheck my comment to know my mind on this. I modified. [/color]

[color=navy]There could be a lot of reasons for that perhaps

- Less love for the local languages
- Western influences
- Resentment
- Hardship and severe poverty

But for what I believe, our local languages affect our English pronunciation and grammar. It doesn't really make much sense for a school to teach funetics, yoruba/hausa/igbo and still teach diction, phonics and spellings, even French.

The children will find it difficult to pronounce words correctly and lose interest in them eventually.

Personally, I don't have much love for these local languages because conversing with them makes me act and feel different in a way I don't like. Believe me, conversing in a different language makes one feel a personality change at that moment he is communicating.

I hate being a Nigerian in the first place speak less of loving it's languages. That's my personality and I hate to pretend.

Moreover, from my perspective, these languages have done more harm than good to our dear society and country at large. Veritably, tribalism and racism will never end due to the propagation of these languages and culture likewise.

I'm in full support for the total eradication of these cultures and languages and I don't give a damn what people think about my stance. Thumbs up to the school. [/color]

[color=navy] They see no shame in it because they are used to that lifestyle of begging and prostitution[/color]

[color=navy]I saw one on the fence beside my room yester night though it didn't see me. It got this cute and gentle look which made me wonder why Nigerians irritably despise cats. [/color]
