Failed country. Forcing people to become what they have neither passion, flair, nor zeal for.
So what do you have passion for ?
Yahoo or laborer ?

Just ask your father first. He has a passion for failure but probably won't admit it to you.

you have no idea. When you say loan....I'm sure most people are thinking in the millions. But there are so many micro finance banks, thrift groups, cooperative societies out there.....especially for women into small businesses. And you will be amazed at the ease of access to these small loans.

The only catch is the cut neck interest rates.
You said I have no idea?

You don't know who I am, do you? FYI I am an auto technician (for modern cars) and an aspiring web and graphics designer, backend and front end developer. I was even invited to Europe by my uncle, but I told him no, I will go to Europe on my own terms. I even discussed about it on this very forum, where I asked people wheather it will be wise to go to Europe blindly. Yes That is me. I am trying to set up a firm of my own.

You should have said so. Your claim of pushing Barrow rather than work for someone is false!

you a good life.

I'm already a success. It's yours that we are trying to salvage. Too late for your father though.

Look, my friend there is dignity in labor, I sold pure water in 2010, later I sold Okrika (used clothing), while selling Okirika, I learned to repair cars, by affilliating with a work shop and watching YouTube videos, I started from somewhere. I am not ashamed to say it. Mind you, I did not attend any university, not that I don't have the brain, it just wasn't my thing.

My brother zero naira means(your interest and idea) if you have one billion naira without interest nor idea in any perspective my brother you end up in zero naira vice versa.... It's just a matter of time and consistency... I remembered when I started my business with this same zero naira you're talking about

You are not a success, if you were you won't be lamenting
on how your life is so bleeped up on every thread.

I noticed you are harping about father, did he abandoned you ?

At your age someone is still forcing you to do what you don't have
passion for, I learnt it can be frustrating to not be in charge
of your own life.
I wish you real freedom.

I wasn't WORKING FOR THEM, I Was an APPRENTICE, and came when I could. They did NOT pay me a dime. I was there because I needed to touch and feel the cars and their parts just as I saw on YouTube.

It is not news that Nigerian apprentices are not paid.

I have passion for what I do. I'm a data analyst in the power sector. But a country that makes other people go into entrepreneurship because of frustration and not passion is failed. And for the first thing to come out of your brain to be yahoo or laborer shows how you think. I'm harping on your father because I think he's an id1ot to bring another id1ot into this world. Should have aborted you.

I have passion for data analytics, numerical analyst, project management, renewable energy, poetry, prose, music, and electricity distribution logistics.
But that wasn't what the post is about. It's about misconceptions people have going into entrepreneurship which I happen to agree due to experiences with some acquaintances. And I stated that a lot of people especially in Nigeria presently go into it not out of passion but belief of lack of choice. So I'm yet to understand what concerns this with my own passion. Please enlighten me on how it affects the opening post.
Fyi, in this context it is 'passion' not 'a passion'.

Abandon not abandoned. Standard of education has really gone to the dogs in this country. This one now will say he is a graduate.

Only an unfortunate company will employ uncouth and visionless
people as employees because they will destroy everything with their
negativity.

You'd rather say "So what do YOU even have PASSION for?" instead of "So what do YOU even have A PASSION for?"?

Really? Clearly, you're wrong but because you believe you're right, I'll leave you be.

That's why I said in the context you used. You're wrong. Learn. You're welcome.
