WARNING: Don’t quit your job or business to travel abroad for studies!

Before you make up your mind to travel abroad to study as a Nigerian, please read the tips below:

1. If your choice of field or course of study is Accounting, Business Administration, Marketing, etc, please don’t be quick to travel abroad to study because those courses are well-tutored here, and mostly based on Nigerian business environment. Most of the facilities for tutoring those courses are here in Nigeria, so consider Nigerian universities than going abroad to waste a whole lot of money only to come back with same probability of securing a job like those who studied here in Nigeria
2. If your choice of course is Engineering, foreign universities will be a better option because most Nigerian universities don’t have the necessary facilities to ground students in this field. Now, if you want to study Mechanical Engineering, consider United States of America (MIT, etc), India, and maybe UK.
3. If you want to study Chemical Engineering, and such related courses, consider Russia and United States as your best destination
4. If you want to study Medicine, United States, India and Canada is your best choice
5. If you want to study computer science, look no further than United States and India. If you want to be grounded in programming and all those stuffs, head to India.
6. If you want to study Law, Literature, etc, UK and United States should be your choice destinations.
7. If you want to stand higher chances of securing a job after graduating from a foreign university, then you must be an engineering student (mechanical, electrical, etc, from United States, India, etc).But if you studied Administrative courses, then save up money and enroll at Lagos Business School, otherwise known as PAN-AFRICAN University in Lagos Nigeria. If you can get an MBA from there (cost around 3.5 – 4million naira), you will stand better chances of securing a job in Nigeria.

There is something you need to know before deciding to travel abroad to study. First, you must find out if there are no local Nigerian universities offering your course of choice, and if they are offering it, find out if they have a proven good record in that course- are there graduates employed in good places? How are their performances after graduation? Do employers value their graduates? If your findings says yes, then why going abroad to waste resources.

For instance, Nigerian higher institutions don’t have good facilities to train graduates in Mechanical engineering, petroleum engineering, electrical engineering, software engineering, biomedical technology, etc, so it wouldn’t be a bad choice for you to make the decision to travel abroad to further your engineering knowledge or education.

How can you travel abroad to study marketing? Our marketing environment here in Nigeria is quite different from the western own, so it may not be so easy for you to succeed here when you graduate from there, and employers will unlikely give you a preferential consideration as someone who studied abroad because they know that there is no difference between you and those who studied marketing in a Nigerian higher institution.

Again, before making a decision to travel abroad to study, have it in mind that you are not going there to acquire certificate and come back to be rushed after by employers. Have it in mind that you are going there to expand your practical knowledge in your chosen course, and to enrich your knowledge to be able to apply the knowledge to establish your own company if employers fail to hire you within the first two three years of returning back to Nigeria.

Lastly, don’t use your last card or last penny to further studies abroad, it is more advisable to even use half of it to acquire a higher certificate from a reputable Nigerian institution and then invest the remaining one in a viable business that you can be running while furthering your studies.

And if you want to study computer science abroad, make sure you are going there to learn truly and not just to bag certificate to stand greater chance of being employed in big firms here in Nigeria because you may not succeed, why? Employers that employ computer scientists look for their practical knowledge, how they can use programming and all of that to debug their company problems and bring more solutions, and not just to have you for nothing. Remember, we have few successful dotcom companies here in Nigeria that can pay you huge salary, so have it in mind that you will either be working independently or as a contract staff, and your success will be highly determined by your high level programming expertise and not your class or kind of certificate or degree. India and United States seem to be a good destination for computer scientists and aspiring tech-developers. Good luck, and please look well before you leap to avoid later regrets.

Manchester City striker Mario Balotelli appears
to have been involved in a training ground
bust-up with manager Roberto Mancini. A picture agency has released photographs it says
were taken on Thursday morning of the pair
having to be separated by staff and team-mates at
Carrington training ground. City have declined to comment. Mancini is expected to answer questions about the
incident at his news conference on Friday morning. "It's believed Mancini reacted to a challenge from
Balotelli on one of his team-mates," said BBC radio
5 live senior football reporter Ian Dennis. "In one of the photos Mancini is seen to be pulling
at Balotelli's orange bib, and in another photo
Balotelli is being restrained. "I'm led to believe the incident blew over very
quickly and with that in mind the photos do need
to be put into some sort of context because super-
fast frames can show the spat but don't necessarily
provide a true reflection of any time period. "However, it doesn't reflect well on the champions,
it ensures Balotelli will create headlines yet again,
and Mancini will be quizzed about his relationship
with the player at tomorrow's press conference." The pictures appear to show Mancini shouting and
gesticulating towards Balotelli, who has scored
three goals in 21 appearances this season. One photograph shows the pair face to face with
Mancini pulling Balotelli's training bib, while in
another, the striker appears to be pulled away by a
member of staff. The 22-year-old Italian has been involved in a
series of controversies since his £24m move from
Inter Milan in August 2010. In December, Balotelli was set to take City to a
tribunal over a two-week fine for missing 12 games
last season because of suspensions. He later dropped the action and accepted the punishment, prompting Mancini to say he was
willing to give the striker another chance. In November, Mancini said he had no intention of selling the player despite his tempestuous relationship with his fellow Italian. Last season, Balotelli scored 17 goals in all
competitions for City but was sent off twice. After his red card against Arsenal in April, Mancini cast doubt over Balotelli's future at the club saying he didn't "have any words for his behaviour". Mancini has often talked about the challenges of
managing the player he says could be one of the best in the world. In April, the City manager joked he might have punched Balotelli in the head every day if he were his team-mate. He said: "I don't speak with him every day,
otherwise I would need a psychologist, but I speak
with him because I don't want him to lose his
quality." But Mancini has also stated that Balotelli's
behaviour on and off the pitch is blown out of proportion, saying "every time Mario does something, [it] is like a war". This is not the first time the City manager has fallen
out with one of his players. He saw Carlos Tevez return home to Argentina
following a row during the 2-1 defeat at Bayern Munich in September 2011. Mancini claimed the striker failed to warm up and
insisted Tevez would never play for the club again, while the forward complained of being treated "like a dog". But the relationship was repaired and the forward
returned to action in February 2012 and helped
City win the Premier League title.

"Dbanj’s Koko Concert Was A Complete Mess" -
Disappointed fans vent anger on Twitter Dbanj disappointed his fans at the concert. Micro-blogging site, Twitter, was agog with
criticism of the end of the year concert by
popular Afropop musician, Dbanj, tagged Koko
Concert held at the Eko Atlantic Beach, Lagos . Many of Dbanj’s frustrated fans who took to
twitter to vent their anger described the concert
as lacklustre and ill-managed. In the past weeks, the concert has enjoyed a lot
of hype in the media and was one of the most
expensive musical concerts in the country.
Some fans paid as much as N1 million to attend
the concert which also has Hollywood actor
Idris Elba; America rappers, Pusha T and Big Sean; as well as Nigerian-born British rapper
Tinnie Tempah; on parade. Fans were particularly disappointed by Dbanj’s
performance. Many of them who went to the
concert hoping to hear him perform some of
his popular tunes were heartbroken as the
musician chose to perform his most recent
tunes that many have problems relating to. “Dbanj does not have any song to sing..
Terrible. Let tomorrow come first,” said a fan
tweeting from the handle @RicDizZle. “Sing Suddenly or Mogbonofelifeli if you know
say e sure for you!” @RicDizZle continued
referring to some the musician’s popular tunes. Dbanj, who is used to a mimed performance,
had problems adjusting to performing to a live
band, some attendees said. “I think Dbanj is the worst performer of the
night #kokoconcert. Easier to perform with a
CD. Live performance no be beans [not easy],”
said a fan tweeting from the handle @

#Dbanj killed it today. #kokoconcert,” said

confused electricians,” said another fan
tweeting from the handle @TheBlackHermit. Insulted fans His woeful performance aside, many of fans,
who stayed awake all night to see him perform
at the concert and those watching the live
stream of the event on NdaniTV, said Dbanj’s
worst blunder of the night was when he said:
“The people wey pay me money na dis side dem dey” (those that paid me are on this side)
while apologising to those at the VVIP section
of the concert for below-par arrangement
made for them. At a point he even asked those
at the popular and VIP sections to apologise to
those at the VVIP for the inconvenience they suffered. Fans at the popular section and VIP paid 5,000
and 20,000 respectively. Many of his fans who
felt insulted reacted sharply: “Disgusting that he only keeps apologising to
VVIP. The 5K ticket holders are the real fans
and the ones promoting his music . Shame,”
said a fan tweeting from @Rebl_jade. “Dbanj needs to stop acting the fool with this
VVIP thing. So rude!” said @EniolaHundeyin “And he had the nerve to ask the 5k & 20k
people to aplogise to the VVIPs. I say it, the
concert was an allegory for Nigeria as a whole,”
said Tola Sarumi tweeting from @AfroVII. “Only in naija (Nigeria) you pay for something
and STILL get insulted. Customer appreciation?
Absolute zero,” said a fan tweeting from @

that the overpriced concert was a failure. “The worst day of my life! Dec 29th, Koko

Disappointed fans vent anger on Twitter Dbanj disappointed his fans at the concert. Micro-blogging site, Twitter, was agog with
criticism of the end of the year concert by
popular Afropop musician, Dbanj, tagged Koko
Concert held at the Eko Atlantic Beach, Lagos . Many of Dbanj’s frustrated fans who took to
twitter to vent their anger described the concert
as lacklustre and ill-managed. In the past weeks, the concert has enjoyed a lot
of hype in the media and was one of the most
expensive musical concerts in the country.
Some fans paid as much as N1 million to attend
the concert which also has Hollywood actor
Idris Elba; America rappers, Pusha T and Big Sean; as well as Nigerian-born British rapper
Tinnie Tempah; on parade. Fans were particularly disappointed by Dbanj’s
performance. Many of them who went to the
concert hoping to hear him perform some of
his popular tunes were heartbroken as the
musician chose to perform his most recent
tunes that many have problems relating to. “Dbanj does not have any song to sing..
Terrible. Let tomorrow come first,” said a fan
tweeting from the handle @RicDizZle. “Sing Suddenly or Mogbonofelifeli if you know
say e sure for you!” @RicDizZle continued
referring to some the musician’s popular tunes. Dbanj, who is used to a mimed performance,
had problems adjusting to performing to a live
band, some attendees said. “I think Dbanj is the worst performer of the
night #kokoconcert. Easier to perform with a
CD. Live performance no be beans [not easy],”
said a fan tweeting from the handle @
ebraheemshehu “I have a lot of respect for #Nigerian artistes
who perform with a live band but i don’t think
#Dbanj killed it today. #kokoconcert,” said
Fidelis Mbah, a reporter with the BBC. “That’s not a live band, just a bunch of
confused electricians,” said another fan
tweeting from the handle @TheBlackHermit. Insulted fans His woeful performance aside, many of fans,
who stayed awake all night to see him perform
at the concert and those watching the live
stream of the event on NdaniTV, said Dbanj’s
worst blunder of the night was when he said:
“The people wey pay me money na dis side dem dey” (those that paid me are on this side)
while apologising to those at the VVIP section
of the concert for below-par arrangement
made for them. At a point he even asked those
at the popular and VIP sections to apologise to
those at the VVIP for the inconvenience they suffered. Fans at the popular section and VIP paid 5,000
and 20,000 respectively. Many of his fans who
felt insulted reacted sharply: “Disgusting that he only keeps apologising to
VVIP. The 5K ticket holders are the real fans
and the ones promoting his music . Shame,”
said a fan tweeting from @Rebl_jade. “Dbanj needs to stop acting the fool with this
VVIP thing. So rude!” said @EniolaHundeyin “And he had the nerve to ask the 5k & 20k
people to aplogise to the VVIPs. I say it, the
concert was an allegory for Nigeria as a whole,”
said Tola Sarumi tweeting from @AfroVII. “Only in naija (Nigeria) you pay for something
and STILL get insulted. Customer appreciation?
Absolute zero,” said a fan tweeting from @
kennagq A complete mess From tiresome trek along the sandy beach,
inadequate parking space, to Dbanj’s fake
American accent, the general perception was
that the overpriced concert was a failure. “The worst day of my life! Dec 29th, Koko
concert. Despite d negativity, I managed to hold
my head up nd stay positive! Home now..#
NeverAgain” said eccentric Channel-O
presenter, Derenle Edun. “Call me a hater but Dbanj is too big of an artist
to be putting out mediocre shows like that!! #
kokoconcert,” said @natashamutale “This guy better not be planning to drop any
album soon. People will refuse to even bootleg
it,” said Tome Buluku tweeting from the handle
@IamTome. “There’s def no koko concert next year sha.
Not with this crap,” said Yemi O tweeting with
the handle @mimio193 “D’Banj speaks like Igbo man from Iweka Road
now,” said Onyeka Nwelue. “@iamdbanj sold more VIP & VVIP tickets than
d no of seats available..we had to hustle for
seats..pathetic,” said Tokunbo Otitoju tweeting
from the handle@fimiletoks “In Koko Concert, Money can’t buy class. LOL.
