Good morning

I gained admission to study in a federal university in Nigeria in 2019 but due to ASUU strike I didn't resume until 2021.

During the wait,I decided I wanted to study in Canada.So I applied to Canadian schools before I resumed in the federal university last year.

Before the end of 100level,I applied for my visa in October and due to delay I had to defer to Sept 2022.

My parents said I should continue studying in the federal university pending the time I get my visa.

The issue is I was asked to withdraw from my faculty in school because I didn't get the required points to move to 200 level.
My parents are advising me to change to a lower course that I can't sit at home that it would bring disgrace to them.

Right now, I'm so confused.Should I listen to their advice or wait for my visa and learn skills while waiting

Thank you

The advice is spot on. Follow it, It will prepare you for the task ahead

Your parents are right on this one. Once your visa is ready, you can simply leave the school.

Learn a skill why you wait

Follow their advice and wait for your visa.

Best advice ever given

You don't have to go sit at home and be waiting for Visa, follow your parents advise.

When the visa comes out, you simply leave the federal university and japa

Disgrace to them? Please take it from someone who has a first class degree in electrical engineering. Start learning a skill right fucking now! Work on it till it's time to move to Canada.

But then you never even get visa surely you can't out your hope on Canada right now.

Obey your parents.

Your father God is in heaven.

Your parents are the only Gods you can see on earth.

There are curses for dishonouring ones parents.

The voice the elders is the voice of wisdom. This is the best possible advise you could've been given. Just sitting home idle doing nothing is detrimental to both you and them. September is still months away. No one knows the future. You might wait till September and then (God forbid) something happens and the visa is delayed again. Being active in school would help you. A bird in hand...

Follow your parents advice. Your life shouldn't stop because you are waiting for a Visa. Moreover, decisions will be out within a few weeks.

Depends on the Faculty and course you were advised to withdraw from. But the truth is, no course is cheap/easy in the university. I advise you get a skill or learn a trade. But if you want to continue schooling, put your head down, learn and study hard. Even schools in Canada are not for the dull ones. Maybe the Canada stuff is what is making you not to concentrate

Since this does not concerned me, let me use time to tell u that ' Do u know that Rihanna unborn baby is far richer that 90% of human beings here. Let me be going

Listen to your parents bro

go and learn web development and programming then, travel out ASAP

Lmao....

You have been asked to withdraw so what options do you have?

Better collect jamb form if you don't like the course and keep processing your Canada..

Chai...

You could actually do both. Learn a digital skill along with your studies. You'll just learn to manage your time.

I think you should listen to the advise from your parents

.

For the first time.. nairalanders are agreeing on the same advise... OP follow am!

Why are you going to Canada to study when you can't even pass well to advance to 200l in a Nigerian University. All you need is focus

Don't go for a lesser course...one of our major problem is going out school just for the sake of it . There are a lot of things that can keep you busy till your visa is sorted or till you try jamb again.

follow her advice just as everyone has said.



Anyway, Agriculture is life.
