You are better off, train to be a mechanic, a Builder, ie Brick layer, an Electrician, or installer of Solar power, thank me later.
My friend that's still learning mechanic advised me against learning it because it will take 5 to 6 years to learn it well and it requires much strength.. he suggested learning car parts instead.

Solar installation is a good idea IMO. But I don't see it as something that one can excel in without connections.. I heard most works are based on recommendations/connection

I really want to learn barbing because..

1. It's easy to learn and doesn't require lots of strength.

2. I'll have my own shop and become a boss of my own.

3. Nothing beats a business that generates daily income.

4. If I have my own shop, it will help me in saving for my relocation plans.

5. Barbing is a skill that is profitable and in high demand.


I'm very convinced I won't go hungry if I learn it well sir

You are not ready, typical of the Nigerian youth, what's wrong in waiting for 6 years to learn a trade?
you are aiming to be a hair barber when others are aiming to be more and you think barbing hair is going to bring you much needed income right/The average mechanic, makes at least N20k daily with almost no overhead
There is no such word as learning Parts.YOu are talking about serving a master who sells parts that even takes far l onger.Go and learn Mechanic you think say nah dirty Job,no worry your pocket will be your best adviser, good luck,

Have wife and 3kids back in Nigeria..but here if you really want to have little savings, and you still take care of family at home, and then you can not hold yourself as a man, and you mistakenly impregnate someone, my brother that's a own goal ooo😂😂..unless you forget your family back home and new responsibility and monthly bills will choke you.. lot are falling into such trap having children here without any savings for years.and having friends again is risky, you might have a friend and maybe he indulge in illegal or bad thing and you are not aware maybe bcuz not working in the same place, some might run and leave you to your faith, and in some cases you might enter problem together which you dont know of..so as a wise man just be alone..to avoid issues, and still you can't cheat nature, loneliness must set in..but as a wise guy man, you face your savings and when you can't bear d boredom anymore,take a next flight back home 👌💯

You must live in a village then, why dont you come to the Auto section on Naira land and speak to mechanics there then come to the Car section
Some mechanic will charge you up to N5k just to service your car.Just to change Tyre these days can easily cost you N1k

Most people won't trust someone that just finished doing apprentice to repair their car.. that's how it is in Nigeria sir

To be a successful mechanic in Nigeria, you need connections.. ask anybody sir


Barbing is a nice skill. I want to start salary work so that I can save money by June. From June to December, I'll be perfect in it.

Then, january I'll travel to Lagos, if Lagos do somehow, I'll leave for Ghana. smiley

Sorry if I'm imagining far sir.. I just think (from your posts) you had it easy or not so hard in life.. and I'm happy for you sir.. that's why I want to emulate you because you're a great motivator to me sir smiley

I have my kpangala phone I use to cure depression.. no wifi o. I come on nairaland when I'm bored to read your comment and other knowledge people comments.. Lol.

After 2 or 3 years I wrote admission again and was admitted but no money so I dropped out.. as I'm not opportuned to go to school that's why I want to hustle and be financially free before 30 smiley

I disagree.... As long as we have car owners that lack basic mantaince culture, the need for mechanics will always continue to be in high demand

The weather in UK is too cold and there is nowhere like home.

Meanwhile, not everyone returns to Nigeria, there are hundreds of thousands of Nigerians who will never come back. Don’t let village pipu convince or confuse you from travelling abroad for greener pastures, please try it; it’s better to try and fail than not to try at all

This is a lie. The worst of anywhere is not the best of Nigeria. If you are still in Nigeria, I will understand your take, but if you are here already, I will take your take as hypocrisy.

Arshley:
You guys allowed village people to win?
OMG!!!
You need to know that the worst of USA is the Best of Nigeria. The difference is so much that u can't even dare compare.
