So by this time tomorrow Neymar will get his first alert of
248 million naira and every Thursday, like drug money it
will be dropping like that! Chaiii, that one is too much oh,
but what is the guy playing self?
Well, it is no longer news that last week Thursday, August
3rd, 2017 the biggest contract ever in the history of world
football was signed. Neymar Da Silva Santos Junior
officially signed for Paris Saint Germain from Spanish giant
Barcelona after they met his buyout clause of €222M.
Hours later the news of his weekly earnings of about
€515,000 or 248 million naira broke the internet.
I will be the last person to dispute if Neymar is worth all
that money because I have watched the guy and I can tell
that he is good. He is talented, his dribbling skill, finishing,
ease of taking defenders one-on-one and the shooting
accuracy with both feet are all admirable, but above all
these Neymar is simply a very strong and saleable brand.
By Sunday, when PSG line up against Guingamp FC
Neymar will get the first chance to show the watching
world (will you watch the match?) why PSG is paying that
much for his signature. The ideal scenario will be for
Neymar to open his account with a hat trick in that match
and win the man of the match - and that is exactly what I
wish him.


But most amazing, most confusing and perhaps now
annoying about that contract is what Nigerians have made
out of it here at home. Most of us have misrepresented not
just the worth but the significance and implications of that
deal. Most social media users (including professionals)
have made serious attempts to demean 'education' by
comparing the monetary rewards that it offers to what
football offers. I heard that A is no longer for Apple and B
is no longer for Book. I understand that the new way of
teaching children ABCD (in Nigeria) is to let them
understand that A is for Attack, B is for Back pass, C is
Control the Ball, D is for Defence and indeed every single
footballing terminology is now used in learning the English
Alphabet, and at the end of the day the lesson to the child
is simple - you must play football whether you like it or
not. But I think that is dangerous, we can't promote this
ideology as a nation otherwise I am afraid of what the
future holds. We will not be doing our generation any good
if we encourage them to ignore education for the pursuit of
money. Of course, you should know that I am a key
promoter of the fact that going to university is completely
useless if it is all about the degree, but for God's sake how
can someone who is actually a graduate want to make it
look as if it is all about the degree? In the first place why is
the emphasis not on "what Neymar can do" but on the fact
that he doesn't have WAEC result? Is PSG paying him that
money because he didn't go to school or because he has
proved himself competent enough in his chosen career? I
think the emphasis should rather be on what someone
can do rather than his academic qualifications otherwise
all those without a secondary education will easily be
earning like Neymar already.


Don't be deceived.
248 million naira per week is massive, in fact it is out of
this world and you only get a better understanding of how
big it is worth when you compare it with the average salary
of a first class graduate here in Nigeria. You know you will
need to earn 1 million naira average salary for 20 years
and 8 months to hit that figure(bro when will you retire?),
but guys, let's still not blow it out of proportion because
there is another comparison.
Now, if Neymar without a WAEC result (according to those
who claim to know) earns 248 million per week, how
much does Bill Gates (who actually went as far as
Harvard) earn? Mind you, Bill Gates went to school as far
as Harvard, the whole talk of him dropping out is widely
misrepresented. He didn't drop out because he was not
good enough, he didn't drop out because he was
irresponsible, in fact he had a meeting with the school
authority when it became obvious that he needed more
time to work on the Microsoft idea and in his exact words
he told the school that he was going on a 'leave of
absence' and should return if the idea failed to work as
planned. He didn't leave the school empty, he left with the
knowledge he had acquired, he left having made friends
and built a network of like minds, he left having access to
mentors from the school (for me, these are some of the
most important reasons of going to university in the first
place, and not just for that paper called certificate). With
that knowledge and skill acquired directly or indirectly by
going to school, Bill Gates was able to build Microsoft and
in 2013 he earned 11.5 billion dollars in a single year. That
figure would give you 1.38 million dollars per hour. What it
means is that the 248 million naira Neymar earns in a
week is what Bill Gates earns in 30 minutes.


Don't be deceived.
Why would I rather be a Bill Gates than a Neymar? Why
would I rather point my kids to Bill Gates than to Neymar?
It is simple. If you go by the figures, you have already
seen it above. If you want to look at the future, then you
will know that Neymar is 25 today, but will he still be
playing football at this level at 35? What if in an unfortunate
situation where he breaks his leg tomorrow (no one prays
for that, but it does happen), that will be the end of
everything, football doesn't even provide for pension or
gratuity. But Gates can sleep for the rest of his life and the
billions will keep flowing because alert has been set on
auto run, he has 'programmed' his business directly into
his bank account - with his knowledge (you need
education to set up that kind of system). What if you are
looking at relevance and significance, how many
millionaires have Neymar made or will he ever make in his
lifetime? Bill Gates has made 3 billionaires and over
12,000 millionaires.
I asked someone what Neymar will do with this money,
and he said Neymar already has a private jet, now is the
time to get a yacht and start paying for the penthouse of
all the 5-star hotels in the world. Do you think someone
who is well schooled will choose to spend the money that
way?
Don't be deceived.
Education is still the key, education is still superior,
education has birthed technology and technology is where
the money is and not football. The most valuable club in
the world according to Forbes 2017 rating is Manchester
United and they are worth a whopping 3.69 billion dollars
to edge both Barcelona and Real Madrid. But how
whopping is that compared with the worth of Apple,
Google, or Microsoft? In fact the total worth of the top 20
football clubs in the world (including Real Madrid,
Barcelona, Manchester United, Chelsea, Bayern Munich,
PSG, Arsenal, Manchester City, Juventus, Liverpool) is
29.6 billion dollars. Mark Zuckerberg can simply pull out a
cheque from his back pocket and buy those 20 clubs
without even discussing with the board of Facebook (that
sounds like an insult but that is the fact). That is how
powerful ideas are, that is how powerful knowledge can
be, that is how powerful education can be. What would
you rather choose for your child?
Don't be deceived.
The standard of education in Nigeria has dropped so badly
that it is beginning to lose its relevance, but rather than
turn our backs on it completely, rather than encourage our
children not to go to school, rather than insult it the more,
we should champion a course on how to make it what it
ought to be and more attractive. We should teach our
children the real importance of education and not just to
come out and get a good job.
Trends are changing, the world has evolved and our
educational system must evolve and not allowed to
dissolve.
Don't be deceived. Send your children to good school if
you can afford it, and after that allow him or her the
freedom of choice and if he or she chooses to play football
he will be buying football clubs and earning 10x what
Neymar earns today.
I choose to go to school, learn how to build and buy
existing businesses. I choose to go to school, learn how
to employ the grace God has given me to serve humanity.
I choose to go to school and learn how best my ideas can
be a solution to the problems of the society.
What do you choose, for yourself and for your kids?
Don't be deceived.

I deliver good content but most people who get jobs on Fiverr and upwork for as high as 50 to $100 only pay the writers just 2000 naira or at most three thousand for 1000 words

It's not really fair and good enough.
If you will pay well then here is my contact 09060279010 WhatsApp me

Since you know they get as high as $50 to $100, why not go there and start getting those big deals instead of doing naira cashout... Fiverr.com, upwork.com

I am very new and I will appreciate if someone can guide me through. I finished NYSC October 2018 and I am looking forward to try this out too. I have learned one or two things here.

Is IELTS the first thing to do? How many months of preparation do I need to be fit for this exam and pass?

I can see some people having 6.5 in just one part and pass every other parts very well but still lament that they failed. Is there a minimum pass mark for each Test

orisunmibare01:
This is just a suggestion o.
Maybe you should start with web design. Its easier and with loads of resources online. It would also give you the best platform when you go into real programming.
Summary, START with web design and move up from there.

Web design? Is this the same as software development?

I am just confuse about this whole stuff and my interest is in it... Kindly help a brother out with orientation

orisunmibare01:
take courses in data science with python or R programming languages and become a data scientist....you can then take microsoft certificatinn exam in data science, its just abt 35k.
This gives you edge over ordinary accounting grauates and data scientists without accounting background.
You also have your feet in IT and financial sectors.

op, i just remembered MICROSOFT DYNAMICS too

Can you recommend for me? I have been bothered on which skill (data science, Java, web development etc), to acquire....

Stop disgracing urself...c the average goal per game..

OLOSHI, but you won't SEE the below average rating between Messi and Ronaldo


Presently (28/04/19)
Messi club goals=598 in 682 appearances (0.877 goals per match)
Ronaldo club goals=600 in in 801 appearances (0.749 goals per match)

119 matches difference....

Yet, you said MESSI is under performing in Argentina and HE IS THEIR ALL TIME GOAL SCORER.... Loyalty is one thing in football and it gives you high regard. Those elites comparing Messi to Pele and Maradona knew what they saw before comparing him.

cr7lomo:
Well, I'm not surprised at the way u reason ... So remove Ronaldo out of Madrid all these yrs and tell me how many straight league titles Barca wud hv won... Now, if he was that great, y did it take him 4 yrs to score in the quarters if the CL or play in the semis ... Y hasn't he won world best in 4yrs... So he is busy winning league titles alone and that makes him the greatest.... What is the difference btw Barca, juve, PSG,and Bayern Munich...it's only in the EPL that winning the league title is a difficult task... So assists against Greece , Nigeria, south Korea makes him the best...it's u Barca fans that started this assist nonsense ....ok...y doesn't he have the highest assist in the CL?? Do u hear Ronaldo fans talk about assist even as he has the highest assist in the CL....so messi scored a hat trick against Brazil, what did that achieve him in the end...y do u reason like a child?? Ronaldo scored a hat trick in the WC against a former champion and no one is talking about it... Has messi ever scored a former WC champion in the WC?? He still can't win a major cup with another team, even copa America that they play every two yrs, he can't win... Destroyed by Venezuela and he ran away again... Maradona won titles with Argentina WC and copa, won titles with Boca juniors, won with Barca and Napoli...that's who u call a great player

Everything here is just meaningless if you ask me... You defended your favorite player with sentiments, he also defended his favorite player too. What exactly is your aim?

samzik:
Cristiano Ronaldo has scored the 600th goal of his impressive club career after netting for Juventus against Inter, beating Lionel Messi .

The Bianconeri star struck in the 62nd minute to equalise for his side after Radja Nainggolan had put the hosts in front at San Siro.

The 34-year-old chalked up the milestone before Barcelona star Messi, with the Argentine currently sat on a tally of 597 for the Catalan club.

Kindly do well to attach the number of matches he took the two of them to reach their current feat.
