Parents Pls Stop Sending Kids To Uni If You Are Broke by Supreme145(m): 4:41pm On May 21, 2021
Instead of sending your children to the university without a good financial plan I think its better for them to learn a well paying skill that might not even last the duration of the university education.

Students especially those from humble backgrounds are suffering in school, even garri now is expensive, guys are surviving on just water and kuli kuli to write exams. My friend resumed school just two days to exams because of hustle, I resumed a week to exams(finals). Imagine trying to cover a semester's work within a week, you end up learning nothing tangible and manage to come out with maybe 2.2 or third class.

Only the gifted students from humble backgrounds make 1st class in the midst of want and lack. The situation of the girls is a different case study, every friday all manner of vehicles ranging from government SUVs to military trucks are all seen around the hostels picking ladies up. Their case is even a little better because they have something to trade for those that want to follow that path.

Lastly please check on your kids in school, even if there's no money please encourage and reassure them, I couldn't complete my fees and asked my dad to help me out, wetin that man tell me ehhn, I wanted to regret going to school but it's too late for regrets.

Don't give birth to children you can't comfortably take care of, give options in life, and leave a good inheritance for. People who give birth in poor, abject conditions have no conscience.

This is the best comment.

Give birth to the number of kids you can take care of comfortably so you can also live a comfortable life.

That way, you won't make your children your retirement plan.

Teach your children contentment. It pays a lot. Instil on them good morals.

I observe that some girls that do runs in school aren't from poor backgrounds.

I knew of two whose parents lived in their personal homes in Garki and Wuse but these girls still dey do runs.

Valid points !!! The educational system has been watered down a great deal.

however, If you are techy (digital marketing, ecommerce, mini importation)

If you are dead broke don't venture into programming, you cannot effectively learn programming on an empty stomach with lack of data


If you are hands on Plumbing, woodwork, electrical, interior design solar design and installation, phone and laptop repair


Let me give you a brotherly advice, and I hope you work on it...
First of all I counsel people and I have done that on nairaland for a while... I have met great and good guys...
I dropped a story about my experience teaching in two schools as a corper and would not mind partnering with schools in abuja, but some accused me of looking for teaching job... Never ever mind what people say...
Back to the matter...
As a graduate, teaching and earning 15k, e no bad... But once you have a good (android) phone, go to any car stand of your choice around your area... Listen well, any good car stand and ask to see the manager... Tell him you want to help him market his cars and get good buyers... 90% of car stand managers will sign u on... Tel him you will be paid a small commission after sales...
Pick up your phone, snap as many cars as your phone memory can take, open a dedicated twitter ac, IG ac, Facebook ac, WhatsApp ac, ac etc... Take out time to post this cars, make sure you have the actual prices of this cars... You can add as much as #250k on it... Bring down the negotiations to as low as making #50k if need be just so I can sell. Set your monthly target... I assure you, if you get I client in a month, u make around #100,000k once you start growing, you can get as much as 5-10 client from all over the country and that hits you over #1m for just helping others sell their cars, Note all you invested was your time, energy, phone and data... No big financial capital...
Do not restrict yourself to cars, go for industrial machines as well, caterpillars, mikano gens, any thing, then you look for those big companies that need them and try to call their attention to it or market it to them... You may not sell in 3 months but when you manage to get a client to buy just 1 caterpillars, my brother you will instantly forget that u suffered before...
A friend of mine was marketing a silo for a local wielder, he received a call all the way from kebbi state, the purchase was made in Ilorin, he made #1.8 mil from buyers and #400k from seller... He still got a referral from that deal. Wake up bro...
Within a month or two, come and pay (tite).
I drive uber/bolt in abuja, market cars, sell commodities such as beans, maize, wheat,
ginger,onions, name it... In bags and tonnes
And I make nothing less than half a mil monthly...

Reach me privately if you are interested in gadget importation and sales from US.

Whatsapp - 0.8.1.1.9.7.5.6.1.4.4.

Very nice input

Oga how many students are lucky to get a job while schooling? maybe two percent, my point is what is the essence of sending someone to school when you cant afford it? na person wey chop bellefull dey read book.

The situation is so bad. Some of us are lucky to have graduated earlier cos currently with the situation of the country I doubt if we would have made it through school.

That's not the main issue my brother.... even the whites that give birth to 2 or 3 all struggle...

When a nation has system that is working, the citizens rejoice.... In some parts of the world, students apply for grant... Govt gives grant with hope that they will pay back immediately after graduation and starts working without defaulting.., when they starts working, they get payment plan on how to pay back so that others too will be given a chance to study as well... Of cause they will not default because govt has a way of tracking all these... database were interlinked... and there's no way u will start working without them knowing...because your tax file will be submitted.....

But is that system gonna be workable in Nigeria? when there are no authentic home address system....... when there's no data base that link to different private organization, ministries and internal affairs office... when someone will give an address to the govt that he/she resides in in sokoto state with some fake street.... but has never been to sokoto before...

It will take a long time to arrive at the stage when govt must intervenes but until then...

You can have erection, have sex, and still not give birth. Family planning and protection are not expensive. Stop being emotional and have sense.

You can't tell a struggling parent not to send their child to the university why because they blv tomorrow will be better and that child will eventually finish school. It's the final lap, why shld they not put in their best??

As for the female students pimping themselves, it's not poverty but long throat greed. They can go into small scale business, like wears and edibles and make money off the ones following big men, etc. That is no excuse to be stupid pls.

I knew someone whose father died in his 2nd year or so, not only did he see himself tru school, he also did masters from money he got from writing projects for other lazy students. There will always be a way.

It's really sad.
There should be a way of communities gathering together to give students reduced loans or part scholarship.
Don't blame the parents, they can only do the best with the resources they have.
It is so sad that Nigeria cannot make this affordable for students, reduce fees and at least give subsidized meals...

When I scream that y'all should bore children you can cater for, some unam ikots say I'm too harsh and whatnot. Well, it has happened but you should learn a lesson by delaying childbearing or even marriage all together. Nothing is wrong if you as a man get married by 40. This is to prevent your children complaining as you're doing.

Meanwhile, regarding skills, please be very specific by high paying not these mumbo-jumbo skills of perfume oils, hair styling, fashion nonsense, baking et al I read on social media daily. Preferably, learn a digital skill (so you can earn in dollars instead of ever worthless naira), hone it very well and improve your finances. Afterwards, if you wish to pursue academic studies as an undergraduate, go for courses that don't take long to complete - max four years. Unless medicine or nursing, there's no point for someone from a poor home to study courses which take five years to complete. Remember, you have ASUU and internal issues - see Unical. Rather than study chemical engineering, study chemistry and leave the system. Rather than civil engineering, study mathematics or physics, write the GRE and get out!

I'm elated y'all are beginning to experience Nigeria for what it's, hopefully you don't procreate for your offsprings to experience same.

Cretinous fvcktards is how I describe those men. Their mates in South Korea, Singapore, Malaysia, Japan, Taiwan, China et al., created economic opportunities so their youths earn well and live a good life. What do African oldies do? Destroy the system, create servitude and privation. Then boom! Begin to prey on their young girls meanwhile her mates in Japan, China or Singapore get employment opportunities annually as the economy grows
Worse still, the so-called intellectuals (actually intellecTWATS) write mumbo-jumbo articles supporting these horrible human beings called Nigerian politicians.
