Good day, After writing Jamb thrice I finally got an admission to study Philosophy..The questions bothering me are:

And also is Philosophy a kind of relevant course to study in Nigeria..

Just go for philosophy, try a change of course in your second year. If you succeed fine, if you don't just go ahead and graduate with philosophy then you can take a masters degree in management or something.

I wanted to say you should chose a different path but it seems our fate aren't the same.
The choice is up to you.

Take this from someone who studied philosophy. If you don't have passion to go I to teaching or lecturing or maybe further studies into law, just forget it.

If you want to Study philosophy because you want a degree to find job, my guy forget it.

Though as you know sha, your degree does not determine what work you do sha o.

And hope it's not Uniben you're going to?

I am a philosophy graduate, right now I am teaching in Lagos. Really after philosophy, if u do PGDE , you can be a good teacher of rebuts.

Job prospects as regards any course in the country is no guarantee for a job...I am a graduate of philosophy, did some backup IT courses when I rounded up my degree..now I am doing great in my niche.

The truth is whatever course you do, you have to back it up with a respectable IT skill or other practical alternative.
