Brother forget business first and go back to school.
Education/Degree certificate will open many ways for you.

Good luck.

National Diploma is of two types. There is Ordinary National Diploma (OND) which is obtained after the first two years (aka ND1) in a polytechnic. There is Higher National Diploma (HND) which is obtained after another two years (4 years, aka ND2) in a polytechnic.

Which one do you have?

Ordinary(OND)

Why not write Jamb and get admission in a school that will be in the same state where your business is
So that you can monitor your business after school

thanks, the thing is that I need to choose one out of the 2 options(go to school first, start business later Or Vice versa)

Hello NLers, I need an advice concerning my path.

I'm 21-year-old with an ordinary national diploma degree. my Mom is eager for me to pursue a university education, But I think it might be beneficial to start a business first, because my Mom recently has some financial issues due to one or two things which could impact my education once I gain admission, considering I'm not the only child

She already has some savings like 300k-400k to back me up, but I know she will really struggle to see me through cuz there’s no husband to support her and I don’t want anything that’ll make her to collect loan.

These are my skills and business idea:
1. Certified mobile phone technician.
2. POS business idea obtained from my boss.
3. Phone accessories business, involving local wholesale purchases and shipping from AliExpress and Alibaba.

Note: I also have like 100k savings acquired from my 7 to 7 job

Yaba, onipakala, surulere, banner city, ife garage, ayeyemi…

Greetings from ilorin 💚

Switching from Art class to Science class will require you to rewrite WAEC or NECO to get your o’ level results to process a Science course.

I’ll advice you continue the Mass Communication in the University and still continue learning the tech course you have chosen since it’s fully online.
Most of the Tech course are fully taught online than in most Nigeria University where there is no practical knowledge.

thanks brother, I’ll consider that, but do you think is possible to switch from mass communication to information technology with science science o level?

Good day , pls I’m still waiting for your advice, this is really urgent

Dear Sir/Ma,

I hope this message finds you well.

I am seeking advice regarding my career and education. I’m in my early 20’s and graduated with a National Diploma(OND) inMass Communication in 2022. Recently, I've taken up self-learning in software development and find myself quite passionate about it.

My mom has informed me that I won't be returning to the polytechnic due to certain reasons; instead, I'll be attending university this year. I am torn because I want to pursue a full-time career in software development. Mass Communication doesn't align with my introverted personality, and it feels challenging as a first-born.

The problem is, I'm contemplating whether it’s possible to switch from Mass Communication to Information Technology at university, or if I should start anew with Computer Science/Software Engineering from 100 level. Or should I continue with Mass Communication at university while simultaneously pursuing software development on the side?

I would greatly appreciate your guidance.

Note: Over the past three months, I've been studying Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics fundamentals on Khan Academy, guided by a friend from LAUTECH. With your advice, I feel prepared to take the NABTEB exam this May. Thank you for your guidance.

Everything you said up there made sense and morally acceptable but the part you said "let them go and work" did sound arrogant, callous, and insensitive to the plight of those in that needy category. Most of them are actually working very hard and smart even harder and smarter than you but for some reasons beyond them they do not have the privilege that you are enjoying. Even you yourself can be needy someday, maybe not in the material sense of it.

See, in life all fingers are not equal so my advice to you sir is, don't hesitate to help the needy who have genuine material needs. Don't presume that the needy are lazy beggars and lastly, be modest about how you enjoy your privilege.

This 💚

harsysky:

Nothing is wrong with your comment except where you mentioned "slave". When one does a job and gets paid, appreciate them; it puts food on the table and does a lot--that which you tag as "slave". Ask yourself this simple question: The way we downgrade people who do menial jobs, is it the same way the westerners do? I remember here in Naija, cleaners are sent to buy food and other stuffs simply because they are cleaners. I would have also down-voted you, so that you would learn to mind your business as this world na "OYO- on your own", abi na you dey feed them?

the bolded , that’s true , thanks

SUPERPACK:
You used the word ''Turn slave in another country'' that's a big insult to any UK indegenes it brings back the slave trade vibe. To a Nigerian it's also a big insult as you generalise and reduce there rep.

thank you brother, I’ve learnt my lesson, i passed across my message in the wrong way

Namaster:
The original post is DUMB. Your reply to the post is equally DUMB!

UK is bad! UK is bad!!

Yet the idi.ot in the original post has lived there for 15 years.

Why didn't he come home?

He complains about low wages and household debts. That's to show you how dumb he is.

Household debts mean there is a system of credit in place to help households meet their needs when they cannot afford it.

That's a fucking privilege!

If you cannot afford something in Nigeria, you are on your own. Owing people or company in Nigeria gets you treated like a criminal.

ALSO, you idiots need to get your shallow mind re-trained.

Not everyone travels for MONEY or greener pasture or whatever. People just want to live in a society that works. In a fucking sane country.

For instance, the quality of air in some countries are a 100X better than what you get in Nigeria.

ALSO, imagine a nice and dilligent worker in Nigeria got promoted. He throws a party to celebrate his new promotion.

He bought drinks and a little slab of beef.

Little did he know that the expensive drinks he bought were made with gutter water by criminals in Aba.

But that's not all. Not even by a long shot.

Turns out the beef he bought came from a cow that died of mysterious illness.

He discovered all of this AFTER the fact. But this is Nigeria and he has to suck it up. He will get no recompense.

Oh, and remember the promotion he is celebrating?

Funny thing just happened. Turns out the BOSS of his boss has a nephew who just graduated from Benue State Polytechnic.

So, no more promotion. Nepotism first, then maybe merit later.

This is Nigeria. This is what people want to escape.

In fact, anybody who complains about people wanting to JAPA in 2024 will find themselves in a close embrace with a Dangote truck.

thanks for your input sir, but you don’t really need the bold, thanks once again I learnt a lot from this.

How can you mention APC

chairman, I really can’t forgive myself for that , I’m not even concerned about the downvotes, but the fact that those folks will think I’m defending/supporting APC really hit me hard.

Schoolshooter:
You think say reddit na nairaland


You never see chumchin


90% of people on R/Nigeria are diasporas , kids living in and out of Nigeria, foreigners and Nigerians in Nigeria that are feminists , atheists or misandrists

if you talk this one for Reddit them fit report your account

Coder2Client:
I saw the thread in the morning I just scrolled pass

I no try oo bro, But I’ll surely learn from this mistakes

And is not that I’m defending that useless APC ooo, I really bleeped up

advanceDNA:
U dare to mention APC....
How can be tell struggling Nigerian "is it not under the same APC they acquired japa funds" ??
As if u don't know many borrowed... Many sold homes they built when naija was still better for cheap prices just to get out ..... U nor try.

haaa Omooo , I’ve learnt my lessons bro, I really appreciate.

I was heavily downvoted for my opinion on Reddit

It seems most of the Nigerian on Reddit r/Nigeria are from UK/US

The first post is the OP thread
The second post is my comment.

Please what have I said wrong.

If he later goes broke the woman will later leave her

oldguyman:
Instead of taking guns, why not start bombing.

make e kuku scatter everything instead of just one shot 😂

DaudaTheSexyGuy:
If the man was doing his job well his wife would not be allowing other men bang her!

the most senseless comments so far, you should’ve kept quiet 🤐

Jeon:
The quoting continues.

yes because
1. It’s fun
2. I remember what’s on my signature…. Peace

Jeon:
And the quoting continues.

I still did the same mistake lil lesb, I pray you know the truth earlier

Jeon:
Oh so you just remember that I am a lesb?. Where was brain at before quoting me?.

sorry I made mistake, I thought I was quoting a normal soul until now that I remember you’re a lesbian

Little21:
You are literally sick I think.

small talk wey I talk you don take am personal 😂😂, you shouldn’t have support Jeon, the girl is a menace

Jeon:
My eyes never see this" "



When a woman is been cheated on .

oh sorry for the last reply, I forgot you’re a lesbian, lesbian don’t bear kids 💡

Little21:
Some will go as well as beating the wife too death over it. Cuz they can't bear seeing her alive after that.
It hurts their ego.

most of your comments shows the type of family you came from, bloody SIMP

Jeon:

They can't stand to see their wives cheating on them because of pains, yet they claimed to be the strongest beings and feel no emotions.

just imagine the man is your son, will you say this?

Jeon:
We do, but men always take paracetamol over it. Why?.

Jeon I think you’re a lesbian, this conversation no concern you , this is the mater of husband and wife not hoes and hoes

Jeon:
It's the same. You guys should take it that way.

you hoes should also swallow it that way

Little21:
The man is really a senseless adult.
Does catching her cheating really warrant this type of retaliation? Men have been caught cheating by their wives numerous times, and I have yet too see them do senseless things like this. Infact they do nothing just crying their eyes out while he continues cheating.

What if their kids sees it? Very senseless way to go about things.

hey guys…. Another simp spotted 👆
