blackbriar:
Please broaden your horizon.
I fear it is very narrow. you want to spend so much money in Sophia university for English teaching jobs in Japan?
English teaching jobs do not pay well in Japan.
Why can't she go all the way to Phd in education related courses in any national university, look for scholarships as well along the way, and become an assistant Professor after post-doc?

Please do you mean “to PHD” without masters degree?
My humble personal opinion.

blackbriar:
If you have the money. SOPHIA University by Yotsuya Station in Tokyo.

Mobog:
I recently met someone who came back from the UK and what he told me was if I earn above 500k in Nigeria there's no reason to travel dow here.

If you're able to save 500k per month after expenses please save up and invest soonest you'll travel on vacation if you invest wisely.

Osun, ogun, lagos and some part of Nigeria is really cool to live.

If I Had To Start My Life All Over Again… This Is Exactly What I’d Do (Read Slowly)


There are moments in life when you pause and think, “If I could rewind everything… what would I change?”
I’ve had that moment too—more than once.

And honestly, if I had to start again from the very beginning… with no clear direction, no confidence, and nothing but silent prayers keeping me going… here’s exactly how I’d move.


---

1. I’d Accept That Starting Over Is Not Failure

This one hits deep.
Sometimes the most painful part of life is pretending you’re okay when you’re not. If I had to begin again, I’d allow myself to admit:
“I don’t have it all figured out… and that’s fine.”
Because accepting reality is the first step to changing it.


---

2. I’d Stop Waiting For Perfect Conditions

Life taught me the hard way that perfect timing doesn’t exist.
If I were to reboot my journey, I’d start immediately—confused or not—because clarity often comes AFTER movement, not before.


---

3. I’d Choose One Path And Commit To It

No jumping from one idea to another.
No chasing everything at once.
I’d pick something meaningful, something that can grow with me, and I’d stick to it with stubborn consistency.


---

4. I’d Show Up Even When I Feel Unprepared

I used to hide my efforts because I didn’t want people to judge me.
But looking back, the real breakthrough started the day I stopped hiding.
If I had to start again, I’d show up boldly—even with shaky hands and imperfect steps.


---

5. I’d Be Kinder To Myself Along The Way

I’d stop comparing my journey to people who started long before me.
I’d stop rushing myself into timelines that were never mine.
I’d actually give myself room to grow—slowly, steadily, without shame.


---

6. I’d Trust The Process Even When It’s Quiet

This is the part most people ignore.
Growth isn’t loud.
It’s not dramatic.
Sometimes nothing seems to be happening… but something is shifting beneath the surface.
If I had to start again, I’d trust those silent seasons more.

AngelSlay:
Don’t choose between “handwork” or “business” immediately.

Instead:

Step 1: Learn a simple skill for 3 months

Pick one that doesn’t take long and doesn’t bore you.

Step 2: Use part of the 2m to start a small business connected to the skill

For example:

Learn phone repair → open a small phone/accessory shop.

Learn baking → start supplying snacks to offices and schools.

Learn solar installation → sell small solar gadgets and install for clients.


This way:

You have a skill

And you have a business

And you depend on yourself, not job hunting

You should not rush to spend the 2 million

Before you try anything, sit down with a notebook and answer:

Questions to gain clarity

1. What kind of daily work do I enjoy?
2. Do I prefer indoor or outdoor work?
3. Do I prefer manual or mental work?
4. What skills do people say I’m good at?
5. What business opportunities exist in my area?

I can help you go through these if you want.

You are not a failure — you’re just at a crossroads

Your confusion is temporary. Once you make one clear decision, everything else begins to fall in place.

maureensylvia:
Thank you so much for your interest, I truly appreciate it.

I’ve been selling here for almost 5 years, and by God’s grace, I’ve had no issues with buyers. Many people who ordered through this same thread have dropped their feedback, so you can check the comments at your convenience.

My business is registered as a limited company, NAFDAC certified, and I have an export license, just sharing this so you have peace of mind.

We deliver to Lagos (Mile 12, Alaba, Agege, Iddo).
Payment is before delivery, or you can come to Kano for pickup.

Dididrumz:
Disciplining kids isn't just about beating.

Jokerman:
Even Lagos state government has implemented it in government schools, that teachers cannot flog or discipline children anymore

They call it bullying

Mrpojj:
My brother wetin parents dey do now, is so disappointing. You need to see my neighbors children. Its terrible

ednut1:
The current people running Nigeria and living in Nigeria were mostly raised by strict parents. Where did it lead us?

Dididrumz:
I don't even have to read the post before answering. I was just talking to someone about this a few days ago, and what I'll say is this, parents are have a huge role to play when it comes to the rot in our society today. Parents stopped disciplining their children when they do wrong.

That's a huge problem , we're not in the west, we're in Africa, we are in Nigeria.

Kalvan:
After punishing that child, did you pull them aside and talk to them about why you punished them? Sure, superficially they may understand why they were punished, but children see things differently from how adults do, and as their teacher, you’re to make them understand the effects of their actions on their development, and why and how it ties to the punishment you meted out.

You could have also skipped the punishment and just given them a zero on the homework, and asked to talk to their parent(s) or guardian. As a kid, there were many times I was downright brutalized by sadists posing as teachers, who were just itching for a reason to practice their sadomasochist fantasies.

ambale:
Totally doomed ooo, with this kind of parenting we are witnessing these days

No child will try rubbish under my watch sha

ambale:
Na people like you dey spoil the society

What happened to training your kid excellently??

You want your kid to misbehave but you don't want teachers to discipline them make this make sense abeg

joyteachdaily:
so as her teacher I'm not qualify to do that? hmm

Makavelli001:
Hello nairalanders

I want to draw u people attention to what females are doing in our higher institutions.
I currently live in students environment close to a reputable tertiary institution in Nigeria.

When I see what young girls who live off campus do. I WEEP for their future husband.

How on earth would girls leave the rooms they rented, and go and live with their boy friend through out the years of their schooling as if they are married....IN THE NAME OF SCHOOL LIFE !
The guys will be bleeping them for FREE...

Then after graduation everybody go find their way.
THE SAME GIRL GO COME THE FORM RITCHO FOR MEN .

Man go still marry that kind girl....PAY her bride Price....carry am put for him house!

NA NOW I SEE WHY SOME OF MY FREZ SAY THEM NO GO EVER MARRY A GIRL WEY GO HIGHER INSTITUTION.

Geetee111:
I did apply to ISI and Arc languages school, both of them came back with a note that they don’t accept direct application for Nigerians because of proof of funds and COE, that I need a third party agent to help me do the application, I believe it’s as a result of forgery.
