A lot of Nigerian students especially those from high school still hold some archaic mentality that some courses are a sure way out of poverty. The situation of Nigeria and the future should make people dead that mentality o. If you arent from a rich family or well connected you should avoid studying some courses in Nigeria.

The following should be avoided except you are rich or well connected.

Medicine: This used to be a very sure way out of poverty. Just like 14 years back, even NYSC doctors were getting six figures. It was so good that even after NYSC and Housemanship, some doctors had bought nice cars or even built houses. The situation is totally different today. To get housemanship as a doctor na die and even when you get it you will be paid peanuts. To migrate out of the country as a doctor requires serious money which if you arent from a privileged home might be very difficult to meet. To also further as a doctor in Nigeria is very difficult as a lot of residency programs are based on who you know. Its no more about merit just as it used to be before yet every year thousands of teenagers kill themselves trying to get into medicine when they can get into other programs which are much more lucrative.

All Engineering Courses except Electrical/Computer engineering: Contrary to what a lot of people think, engineering a lot of branches of engineering are not as lucrative as people think they are. I was checking unilag's cut off the other day for my cousins and was shocked to find out that petroleum engineering has the highest cut-off point in the engineering department. That is a program that should be scrapped. Its glory days are over and never going to come back and its so restrictive yet a whole lot of brilliant people think killing themselves to study this is actually a good idea. Electrical and computer engineering are the only courses I can really advise anyone to go for as they are very much relevant in the ICT sector. Embedded systems, computer hardware, robotics alongside a host of others are mostly offshoots of these fields.
Lucrative alternatives to engineering that arent as competitive are computer science, mathematics and physics. Someone intending to study civil engineering or mechanical engineering in Nigeria should go for physics. There's practically no place a mechanical or civil engineer can work in this world that someone with a degree in physics cant work.

Law: I wont say much here but if you love poverty, this is an amazing course to study. If you are from arts class, instead of law go for a degree in English. At least with a TEFL certificate and an English degree you can get good jobs teaching English in asia and latin america.

Another thing that might help is that before you study a course, go on linkedin. Create a profile, go to linkedin jobs and check specifically how many jobs exist for your course in Nigeria, Africa and globally.

Nigeria isnt funny anymore to waste time on nonsense and funny as it is, Nigeria of today is a paradise compared to the Nigeria coming so folks should help themselves.

What I find utterly despicable is the absolute confidence with which some people insist that OP is running a scam. Someone dared her to upload evidence, and boasted she would send back some amount if said evidence is uploaded... Really? Have we sunk so low? Unwilling to spare a farthing to help, but happy to spend scarce resources just to prove a point. What a shame.

Dear @kaityn, I've done my due diligence, and I believe you. I may be wrong, but that too is ok - what good is a life spent being right all the time? I noticed you don't come online often; to me, it means you don't spend all your time arguing on nairaland like some other people I prefer to ignore - but whenever you come around again and see this, please send me a PM. I'll be happy to donate a small token to fill up wherever your timely aid to your friend came from. No matter how long, send the PM.

And in thanks to Chukwu Okike Abiama, by Whose grace I choose to believe that a life was saved today, I want to a small giveaway. I'm not rich but I can afford 2k for 5 people. If you need it, please indicate here - no names please, just number and bank (don't send PM please). I'll keep an eye on this thread from till midnight; I trust by then there'd 5 such replies, and all can delete their details.

Things are really bad now, worse than it has ever been, but even in the middle this let's not forget our humanity.

Mrshape:

You got the second one
But the first one became invalid when you eliminated log as if it is a variable connected by multiplication
Congratulations

smeag0l:
I have done the needful. Please post your solution on the thread.

Here are the winners and the time stamp showing when they sent in their responses. For those of you that sent me mails twice, I did't pick you because I mentioned earlier that it attracts disqualification. I initially intended to pick 5 winners but had to pick one more person.This didnt follow the rule of the fastest but the one who came close to answering question 1.
