After the first personal computer Altair MITS 8080 or 8088 I think was made, Bill gates decided to drop out from Harvard with funding from his parents to start Microsoft Corporation and started coding programs for this new PC that came out.
That's how Microsoft OS was born....

What I always preach about is studying great course that is useful for both in Nigeria and outside Nigeria. That way, the journey becomes easier.

Please let help one of our own. She is a young lady doing her PhD in Florida, USA. She needs us to participate in her research survey. The topic is very interesting about family planning and size.
She is my friend and it is my little way of suporting such a young girl doing her phd. She is less than 30 and almost done with her phd. That is amazing. Please, show support. I appreciate.
Survey takes about 30 minutes online. Check my last profile and read my latest thread to see how to participate. She also has a gift of appreciation when you complete the survey.

80% of Nigerians go to school to evade poverty. When the younger generation saw that their elders are roaming the street with their sweat infected certificates, they saw no need to venture into the academic space.

With the scourge of unemployment and quick money syndrome, one is sure in the next decades we will have millionaires pulling up in convoys with no certificate attached to them.

The phrase, "WHO CERTIFICATE HELP" has helped most people navigate in life winning against all odds.

But I believe, someday, 95% of my fellow countrymen/women will go to school because of passion to solve problems and not to squirm out of poverty.

This is because we do not have education system but examination system. Real education makes one to think of how to solve problems but what we have is trainning people to remember things/craming and not creating things and solving problems, untill then we are on a long cruise

Yes, sir. The truth is not far from your comment.

Story. If Akin Alabi I'd referring to our local schools or federal universities, then ignore his advice. 5years in the university for me, was wasted. Not a single thing I learned from the classroom is applicable in 2022.

That's on you though
Learning is supposed to be continuous
One who went to higher institution IS ALWAYS BETTER OFF than one who didnt
No matter how much money you THINK you have
Your lack of education and articulation will always handicap you

Especially in high circles

Elon didn’t drop out na. Elon has two degrees the last time I checked

Make God grant your heart desire this new year

Why do Nigerians always compare themselves with western countries that are more advanced?Even if you want to compare yourself with Dangote,he has a political backings in his businesses.I don't think he pays taxes to the government.Even during the 2020 lockdown where companies were shutdown,his companies were running on a daily basis.

Amotolongbo:
I wish Akin Alabi can tell this to young men playing nairabet.

Even if they dropped out of school, shey na primary school or secondary school dem drop out?

Those that dropped out had already got their path set out and did not drop out as failure.

Lol � he is talking to then also

This your post reeks ignorance oooo
Dangote is one of the biggest tax payers to the federal government in this country
The with holding tax on the dividends his companies pay out enters tens of billions (only cement dont pay withholding tax cos it's on the pioneer list )
The company income tax that his companies pay is also in the tens of billions

So what are you saying?
What of the V

The main difference between drop outs here and elon musk or bill gates is that they were skillful problem solvers before dropping out unlike ours. Ask ours, what can you do? And you will hear things like : mason, hairdressing, baking, soap making, perfume making, slippers making. It is well.

That's the truth. Someone said who certificate help? Go to federal , state and local government and see how certificate help them . Do you think you can work in oil company without a cert? Go to school and master your field to be one of the best.

Connect follow.The thing is that majority of those working there are by man-knows-man.Havent you read a recent report where Buhari extended the tenure of a NIA DG after failing exams 3 times?

Too late already

So, in your myopia, only Yoruba kids are infested with betting addiction? Stop being petty and misleading. Besides, why are you using Yorubaland and Lagos as separate concepts when the two are ONE and indivisible? Do I sense a malicious subtext?

Before nko?

Dem no dey telli pesin.

Elon Musk, Mark Nsukkaberg and Satanic Bill Gates dem get the kain support systems that makes it possible for them to succeed with no formal tertiary education.

But for this side, even Masters and PhD Degree Holders dey hustle for Dangote Driving Jobs to tell you as e be.

How many oil companies are owned by people without certificate?
