Academics in Nigeria is not worth it. After PhD we still earn less than an entry level bank officer. You publish or you perish. It's a low life job.

I understand.

gentlegenius:
HND or BSC... What difference does it make in today's Nigeria?
Except you are pursuing a career in Teaching/Lecturing, I tell you sincerely that You didn't make any mistake by going for HND, neither are you correcting any mistake by doing BSC.
The world has changed and even our country has got worse... There are many master degree holders with no meaningful job. There are PHD holders working for people that has no certificate.
I am a graduate with HND, after 13 years without a job, I had to go and learn a trade. Now I got a job through the trade I learned, not with my certificate.
Guess what...
The guy that trained me(crane operator), is an (academic) illiterate. But he has worked for two big companies... Presently, he earn close to 900k a month.

My greatest mistake in life is going to higher institution... Without learning a good trade earlier in life.

Any opportunity to learn forklift or any available operator role through you

Who do men this thing 🤔

I think it's nature

lordwoz:
have you gone to the hospital

What will I tell them. I dey shame o

Going to Polytechnics. After graduation, I still go another stupid higher institution again, thinking education na key I really regret it.

Did not see guys that put me true in Yahoo when salary failed me.

Laughing at my friends that were leaving pensionable job moving to Italy through Libya rout when the way was sure. I always regret this especially when they post there kids online.

Taking 7days loan from palmpay to run sharp business that flopped.

Did not vote Jonathan despite am from south south thinking Buhari will be better. Am not always happy when I remember all this shit

Never be loyal to a woman.

Not leaving Nigeria very early in life. I should have been talking about retiring from anything work or business if I had left Nigeria at say 23 years of age.


Not digging gold when I got married. If I had married the politician daughter they recommended and linked me to, I would have been at least a House of Reps member today. But I felt I didn't want to marry someone whose father would be influencing my marriage, that was a huge mistake. If you see such opportunity as a single young man reading this, please grab it fast, all those rubbish mentality I had then was a huge mistake jareh, their influence will not last forever, at most 10 years.


To all single guys reading, whenever you want to marry, please if you see gold dig it very well. Love is a fallacy, don't marry just because of love or physical beauty or any other nonsense reason like big nyash, sex, etc. The girl's parents and family status matters a lot, if you think you dont need it now, you will need it tomorrow. Look at Ebuka Obi, he dug his gold perfectly by going for Young Shall Grow Motor's owner daughter. Even if Ebuka likes today he can squander all his wealth, his father-in-law's wealth will still keep his children wealthy for life because Young Shall Grow will definitely will a lot of assets to his daughter, Ebuka's wife and even her kids, I will do same for my daughter and her kids.



And to the young graduates still claiming Nigeria will favor me, continue deceiving yourself, your parents said the same thing, all the wealthiest Nigerians you see today once migrated abroad or lived abroad, majority of them, so if you see any opportunity to leave Nigeria, do so fast, the earlier the better for you. Leave fast, work, save, invest back in Nigeria via real estate, hotels, nightclubs, lounges, gym centers, avoid rentage building investment.


Also look for a trusted relative or friend, there is always one or two trusted relative or friend that wont rip you off, work with him or her, leverage on the two locations you know; the developed country you live and Nigeria by buying used things there, load in a container, add some tokunbo cars and send to Nigeria to resell....over time hire or rent or build a warehouse in a good city location, so you will be known for that and you will be sending these used items with container on regular basis and you have carved out a business niche for yourself to keep you busy when you decide to retire back in Nigeria.

Baba this is my exact story! Living in ikoyi and open to lots of opportunities with the rich and affluent but I want a grip on my own life! Today am building from scratch!

But God dey and He hasn't forgotten my labour and service to him in my youthful days

Thank you for saying this hats truth

May God bless you for saving a lot of young guys out there

Peakdesign23:
1. Most opportunities won't come twice.
2. Nobody really cares about you.
3. Don't try to please anyone but God.
4. As a lady, if your blood group is anything O, like O+, O- do not hesitate to get married early because child bearing might be difficult in your late 20's and thirties. unless you don't really care about kids. Avoid abortion at all cost while you're young!
5. Avoid anything friends!
6. Just because someone is smiling with you doesn't mean that they love you, perhaps if you see what's in their heart, you'll forever avoid them.
7. Don't just assume that connection will come to you. Go out! Meet new people, anything good can come out of it.
8. Don't ever take your security for granted, wherever you live, make sure it's well secured, don't keep your pots of cooked rice or whatever close to your kitchen windows. Even the neighbours aren't to be trusted sometimes.
9. Whenever you call any electrician or anyone to come and fix something in your house, do not be so quick to leave, stay there with them and monitor every thing. Don't give them food, let them work and leave.
10. Never tell people your sources of income or what you earn, not even family members.


Let me stop here for now.

Please is no 4 true

I think it's best you see your Doctor and he/she will explain better.

ibechris:
Banking saved me today,without it,I would have been in a mess.

Never sell your car even at point of death

Juliearth:
I spelt these out in codes. I expect you to read between the lines to figure out the experience(s). Cheers!

Ok Julie 💝

Never believe any man that says he loves you and wants to marry you until he pays your bride price

nickxtra:
What will I tell them. I dey shame o

you will speak with doctor na , not with everyone, then he/she will prescribe drugs...hospital is mainly for sick people, so most people there have something worse than you, so don't send anybody, you are not going there to look for girlfriend

Juliearth:
Never date a "broken man". Young lady, you are not a mechanic. If his parents couldn't fix him, what makes you think you could? (Same advise can apply to dating a broken lady too.


If he cheats once, leave and dont look back. They don't change. Same can be applied to women too


Be entangled with an emotionally intelligent man, else you would be frustrated into madness.


Do not form friendship or sisterhood/brotherhood at work. Do your job and go home.

Do well what is worth doing. Our deeds have a way of coming back to us.

Do not befriend people below your intellectual and emotional level, else you would be emptied. And completely drained out.

Your last paragraph hits home well

Ewedegubbler:
Do too much for. Invest in a girlfriend. Never ever

Ilekokonit:
Too much analysis leads to paralysis.

I remember when Abel Damina said this in 2014.Then , he was not controversial.

Starz825:
I please God and myself

I am the most important person in my life after God.

👍

Avoid betting and smoking by all means

Be careful who you choose to spend the rest of your life with.

My two cents.

occfx:
If you no cash out the game go cut..
They allocated special juju for that.

It's possible sha

bigdawg7:
Never date a girl from a broke family they are always in a relationship for survival not genuine love

Especially if she is a NEET.

judewrites:
Telling people your destiny and future plans....like Joseph did to his brothers.

Na these advice sure pass oh. Na so I open mouth from my early teenage years dey Yan my future plans to my family members especially my popsy relatives. Pls, keep ur future plans and ambitions to urself. Even ur siblings might be a barrier in ur life.

Please don't ever disclose ur income and ur account especially how much u earn to ur immediate family members.
And if you ever have a business that is booming, pls and pls limit ur family members influence and if it is a company, don't ever make them or ever think of creating board of directors and putting them there. U just dug ur grave by doing that.

Keep your secrets to urself. The person you confide in might expose it or use it against you.
Make friends but apply wisdom
Talk less and listen more

A 2 nights quickies with a family female friend which resulted me being infected with a stubborn STD that am still battling with now. As if she knew what she did to me, she has not stepped her feet to our since then. I have not got close to my wife since for fear of infecting her.

...the infection normally scratches me around my private with offensive odour. I will appreciate any medication advice

You have to know the exact STD before I tell you what to do.Go run a verifiable test first

ufotty2001:
they can't think by themselves, they believe on their pastors than husband, they always believe that there is something negative that is chasing them, they don't believe on themselves. If you are a man that is fill with ambitions and goals.. don't go for them they will destroy u.

This is so on point. They carry Pastors and Church doctrine on their head. Never thinking outside the box. Guy, you feel my pain....

Dont use 70 percent of your money to build house or finish your house. Don't seek advice from too many people. Dont give your last card to people. Dont be too good sometimes act so that people will see you as a strong man that always respect himself.
