Although still in progress
Study statistics and mathematics (ND) proceed to study Agric Economics (drop out because of fund)
Went to ICT line learn phone Engineering and I'm good at it,but the competition is too much in so opt in for programming and java script but abandon when when mobile device could not do the work again except PC.
Finally I saw an opportunity in German vocational school in Lagos to study building construction which I just graduated and I'm hoping to build career in it I love the work just looking out for connection or job placement.

OND in Business Administration
Bsc in Economics.
AAT in Accounting.

Worked briefly as an Accountant (not Chartered)

Currently working as a Digital Marketer.

Also worked as a Teller after my OND, worked as a Teacher/Adminstrative Intern during my NYSC. Worked as a Sales Manager in a boutique after NYSC, still worked as an Accountant in 3 different organizations after NYSC.

I'm 28 and I'm tired, things haven't gone the way I expected, thought I would get my big break when I made it to NNPC Towers for the Graduate Associate interview in 2019.

This Digital Marketing is good but I long for something more, anyone who can help me with a good job or a loan to start up a biz, I would be grateful.

By the way, I'm looking for Nsikak from Bells University, I used to teach him back then but found out early this year that he was the boy Obasanjo adopted on his visit to Akwa Ibom years ago, I would be grateful if anyone can help me patch me through him, I don try everything I don tire, I'm 28 and no where close to Eureka!

I studied Elect-Elect (power & machine option) & now I am working as a Field Technician in Telecoms. Hopefully to work with TCN someday coz that's my dream.

I hope this thread gives hope to the hopeless. While you await your dream job, get a skill that can keep you going in this part of the world.
Sir, an EEE student here. I am thinking about going for telecommunications and Electronics. What's has your experience been like in the telecom industry?. I have two uncles who work at TCN, why TCN?

Had first degree in chemistry.
Didn't practice it because I got a micro finance Job after nysc. From micro-finance, I moved to commercial bank.

I got tired of banking and decided to learn coding (website and mobile app development).

Found myself in between two worlds. Business and tech. Then I decided to do MBA in Trump-land Biden-land with concentration in business and data analytics.

With that, I am able to blend both the business world and tech world

I was an a business man and things got bad I start riding okada. After 4 years as okada rider leave Nigeria. After 15 years after living Nigeria. I return back and start business again. Today I own manufacturing industries in 4 countries, and also citizens of 4 developed countries where my 3 industries situated. Good part is that all my children's get Nigeria passport as third country citizen, I didn't allow them choose Nigeria as their first passport.

Care to answer some more questions about your journey?
