Best thing is to go and think of how to make money, if you make money schooling will be easy and not a time wasted one. To me, anything education in Nigeria is over, I can't study anymore in Nigeria, I prefer to gather the money and do a business within some months. After making money, I will then leave. Ave done research on watermelon farming, have got land, got haulage service, got buyers in Lagos, just to plant by November and sell by January, within 3 months, expenses of 150k will make me about 3millions. Watermelon, cucumber, peppers, tomatoes are plants not really planted in South West, Majority plants cassava,maize, yam. The plants above takes time unlike the former plants. All ripe within 3 months, in 3 months, you make your money, No amount you can take to places like Lagos that will be enough for them. Lagos population is about 22million, so, consumption is high there. An acre should give about 3000 fruits of it. If you continue getting degree without using the degree to work or make tangible income, You might be wasting your time unknowingly. Have planted watermelon before, only on a subsistence base.

On a deeper note, dear people, please listen.

Do! Not! Be! Ever! Deceived!
Education is not and can never be a scam!

Being helped with miracle centres, and helped with admission, and graduating with lower, 3rd class, pass etc is not education and is barely ever going to fix you anywhere in another person's business! I mean even you will not employ yourself with this kind of result!

Are you blind or deaf ni? I know you know the truth but you purposely blind yourself to it.
I can't count countless of my peers who are well educated and are extremely comfortable and even posed for more success ahead.

Soyinka, by virtue of being a NP, will never have his luggage checked at any port in the world. Too, Ngozi Iweala, ambassadors, and some others educated fellows are in this category. For education, these are possible.

Whereas, Dangote, Musk, Bezos will be checked of routine security regulation at most ports in the world.

That doesn't make education sound like a scam to me. I mean no random Emeka, Kemi, Rufai would easily enjoy these reverence because they were not educated. Nothing that brings comfort and fulfillment can ever be a scam. Show me the person in top 10 richest who didn't pass through education - some attended the best schools in their country just to get education and drop out when they did while others graduated - one thing is clear however, they attained education!

Don't fall for the popular ongoing "education na scam" narrative. It is famous for two reasons:
1. The educated ones don't want you educated. They prefer to enjoy whatever prestige it brings alone, alongside their kins. They're glad you continue to look up to them in some ways.
2. It's mongers failed in education and so have no place in it. Thus, they don't want you to do it, because then you may usurp them in (social) status.

If education is your passion, do stop at nought. even at 35. It will never be a scam!

OmarBashir:
Everyone no matter how successful they are always feel bad not acquiring a degree especially if they had the opportunity previously. Deep down not acquiring a certificate still haunts your friend. Why do you think most of them do go back to school either for even certificate courses after they are rich.
most of them talk about how well they don't need the certificate once they are successful but deep down it is a subject of pain and regret that they just have to say so as to quench and suppress the regret.

Inner19:
If the "Billionaire" is coming to life the second time, let him come as an African (Nigerian) from a poor home with no resources.

He would realise that our "our struggles are different".

Even the richest man in Africa Dangote has a University Degree.

Yoighaman:
Stop this deceitful narrative. I am not here to argue, but if you feel education is a scam, please don't send your children to school.

Also, if you feel certificate is a scam, let your children out of school, so they can be as great as Okonjo-Iweala or Akinwumi Adesina.

And if you think Dangote did not go to school, that's fine.

Best wishes.

NoToPile:
Never, I even did a masters, my mum was practically on my neck for it.

The job I got later was because of that same Masters not my Bachelors.

Education (formal) is never a scam, you can never get some jobs without some certificates/certifications.

I am bilding an intergrated farming system. We started off with chickens and would expand it later in the year to 10,000 - 20,000 chickens. For now, we're handling crops on a large scale. You studied Agric right? Would you like to work on my team? Let me know

If you don't know the difference between knowledge and certificate then it means you went to school to get certificate and not knowledge

TradingGod:
I can never be associated in a circle that look down on people because of their educational qualification.

That is a small mindset association

Only people with low self esteem will take such a circle serious
