How many professor or academical PhD(Doctor) holder did you see on the list of those that sent money to Davido?

My honest advice is, in anything you do, be it education or anything, ensure you have a running hustle(business) or something that brings in money.

PS: I am a graduate, one of the best graduating students in my set.

I don't know you but you can do both at 29..sir.. Don't let people deceive you, education pays. If not now later. You can attend NOUN you can attend weekend programs or evening programs. Just get a certificate. Don't let the poverty fighting mentality in Nigeria kill you. Follow your dreams. Don't let being a first child be a burden. You only leave once.

Forget about your family, if you believe that school will be able to give you what you need in life then you have to further your education, your family will always be there anytime but your future is the most important thing now.. just try as much as possible to do things that you believe on then you will eventually help them in the future, but don't just do anything for the main purpose of helping them and neglect your future.. They cannot help you as the parents so you have to help yourself first

I think your location is what comes into play too, what is the feasibility study of your intended business, have you run a mini business before? What's is your average capital? and who will be your potential customers. Analyzing the environmental factors so as not to loose the two opportunities as a result of wrong choice. All the same, good luck.

Further your education.

Education can give you a stronger root on the long run

You can acquire a skill in any of the following mainstream areas:

- UI/UX design
- Data science
- Digital marketing

If you want something less formal, you can also learn how to earn by helping people on social media. I got an ebook on that yesterday and it makes sense. Let me look for the thread and post it here.

Above all, be determined. First borns always face a lot of challenges.

My brother, my candid advice is that there is no age limit to success what I will tell you it is possible to be going to school and the same time learning some skills ....

But today Nigeria school is rubbish so I will tell you that what you will put food on your table is very important

Venture into real estate
