@Hannaleeyah how many have u got?

formerUKSF:
Let's say 1 wants to learn graphics designing and video editing/ web dev.

Then you get a laptop cheap one to start with around 90-100k

Since one will be self-learning. Home is the office.
Monthly or weekly data plan
What of epileptic power supply

Learning a good skill is a good plan towards financial liberation but it requires alot of funds. Besides all fingers are not equal,what is easy for you to get might be near impossible for another.

princefunmmy:


The skills required for remote work are professional skills not vocational skills.

Professional skills are skills for corporate jobs e.g, programming, tech skills, ability to use existing softwares to do your job. These skills requires good education for you to be able to succeed in them. If you learn these, you'd become hot cake in the professional world.

Vocational skills are skills e.g, baking, tailoring barbing, shoe making etc. These skills don't require much technicality to learn. If you learn them, you'd have to find customers/job.

Don't think there are no jobs. There are jobs but there are few people qualified with the necessary professional skills. There are companies that have been trying to fill roles for months without getting a good fit because everybody believes there is no job and graduates have been brainwashed into switching into vocational skills

1. Sometimes when you all start announcing the term "learn a skill" I do wonder if you all think learning a skill is just as easy as the air you breathe.

2. You need to pay for an apprenticeship before learning any physical skill. Even as you are learning, you need to feed at least twice daily. You need to pay for transport. These are basic needs. But you all never consider this. In your minds, these youths are lazy, they don't have the power of positive thinking, and they can't think and grow rich.

3. Digital skills requires a laptop. At least one needs a 100k flat to consider buying a fairly used one. Where is the learner going to see this money? What about data, how is he going to sort himself out? What about electricity, how is he going to cope when it is glaring that the power supply in Nigeria is more epileptic than epilepsy.

4. We should not even talk about getting your first job or customer in a third-world nation... let's wait till you learn a skill.

5. It is so unfortunate that in a country like Nigeria, the only means of survival as it currently stands is through the internet either for a positive or negative purpose. We have not even considered the IQ of the Black nation, knowing fully well that their IQ is below average (85/100). Yes, you can beat it and succeed in science or computer science, but how many will be consistent, persistent, patient, and determined to overcome that phase. It's just like convincing a snail to reach the finish line in a race with hares, antelopes, and wild cats.

It is not easy to perform a job that is beyond your physical and intellectual ability. You must go the extra mile. But what's the guarantee?

6. What about the jobless and underemployed graduates? These sets of humans worked their lives in gaining a degree...or, do you all think spending 4 - 13 years in a higher academic institution is a joke?

7. It is so easy to say go learn a skill when you forgot to consider those who helped you behind the scene. During your go "learn a skill" seminar you never consider these people and the sheer luck that shone upon you. Or, do you think all humans have the same opportunity?

8. Learning a skill is not bad. Nigeria/Africa has left for the gutters, sinking and wallowing in bribery, corruption, poverty, inept leaders, insecurity, social vices, and other evils you can think of.

And as a result, learning a skill becomes paramount.

9. But what I want you all to take note of especially those motivational speakers that hide behind various forms of crime with a saintly look should know that before learning a skill, an individual basic needs must be met. They include food, shelter, clothing, security, electricity, good road, and data. If these things are not provided it will take grace for a few to scale through, and that's why many that started learning a skill never made it to the finish line. You all should give these people a break, please.

10. Before learning a skill you just need to undergo therapy because depression and suicidal thoughts are real.

11. Alright. Since we can't easily savage the situation on the ground, we will endeavor to learn a skill with the hope of success.

Stay aloof from crime. I know. I understand. But just try. We must survive.

Thanks.

Learn cyber security, very important.

Government don't create jobs. It is the responsibility of the government to provide enabling environment for private sectors. The burden of job creation is on the private sector and entrepreneurs.

Dipsaint:


I don't think you can learn programming, without spending a lot of money.

I'm leaning web development, I spend a lot of money on data and an fuel. Believe me that's the reality.

If you use Twitter very well, you will see a lot of folks hunting giveaway just to buy data to continue learning.

ameh99:
People will still complain even if learning a skill is free

Poverty is the closest thing to laziness

The time and resources you wast on NL is enough to get you started

You have almost everything you need on the internet but rather you are always online bashing one politician or the other

I got the foundation of my skills from the internet before I began to search for practical knowledge

And when I did meet with who was really ready to put me through praticals it was quite easy for me and didn't actually cost me much because I came with a little knowledge of my own
Today, I have people under my pay role

To climbed up that ladder,,

You need to serve to be served
Humility, patient, manners, sincerity and above all fear of God..

Hannaleeyah:
Yeah,I testify to this..
It's time youth,graduates,teriary students now realize that this country holds nothing for them.
Being a graduate doesn't guarantee a job anymore to talk of a high paying job. Even most people who has a job are just like working to pay bills,nothing to gather, nothing!
This country is messed up!
The rate of unemployment is now so high! Why!?

And also,most youths ain't helping their selves,they just keep complaining and blaming it on the government everyday,yeah,I understand they hold the major causes of this,but are they even hearing you out? Since you have been complaining,did anything change?

It's just time you source for an alternative for yourself dear. Nigeria isn't good,Nigeria isn't good, but some people are making it,think of it dear.

I personally thought of this a day just like this,and that was it, today I'd forever advise anyone to learn digital skills..Go into digital skills!,stop being an expert at giving yourself excuses,you can't take your excuses to bank.. stop saying doesn't learning a skill requires money,you should think about the opportunities in it..you should think about how much money you're gonna make from it,you should think about the financial stability you're gonna get from that.

And also,when I mention learn a digital skills, I'm talking about lucrative digital skills!,not just any one,you get that? ,Then ensure the person you want to learn from a real tutor,not all these fake tutor that mention about their fake earnings,not all these tutors who haven't made a dime out of it but claim to have made millions, be cautious

Below are the skills I can testify to,paying my bills, all lucrative!:

• 3D Modelling & Rendering
• Graphic design
• Video animation (3D/2D/Whiteboard)
• Video editing
• UI/UX design
• Motion Graphics
• Digital Marketing
• Audio editing
• Affiliate marketing
• SEO/Google analytics
• Photo editing & Retouching
• Web development

• Business Writing
• Social Media Management(SMM)

• Relationship marketing strategy and implementation (RMSI)
• YouTube Channel Growth Hacks : How to grow your YouTube channel organically.

Also, I learnt Data Science and analytics and Cyber security, but I'm not really into them because,well,let me say, because my other skills are paying me well,but those two skills are as well lucrative,you can try them out.

Learning a skill is good but you should be mindful of the skill you're learning. Choose a skill that you have an interest in.

For example, If you love writing or reading, learn content writing. Don't learn it if you don't have any flair for it.

Also, learn a skill that has not been saturated. In my street, more than 10 hairdressing salons are dragging a small population of customers.

judedwriter:


Hmmm.... Stop joining the millions of people cursing Nigeria...

Yes things are hard, but you must understand that there is supernatural power in your tongue!

Till tommorow morning, the Americans still say 'God bless America'.

Stancy23:
This is Nigeria. Only a few are not involved in this battle because they have a skill. The rest are still having the entitlement mentality that the government owes them a good job mean while they owe themselves a better life by learning a skill that will enable them accomplish their goals and be a blessing to others in the process.

Who told you you don't have a skill? You have it in you but don't you do because you have not searched yourself. Once you do, you will know what to focus your energy on in terms of learning a skill that will build you and enable you reach your potential.

Gone are the days when white collar jobs were waiting for you after graduation or completion of NYSC. Right Now if you don't have a skill, you will be lift behind. Meaning you're #OYO

Dear comrade, go and learn a skill or upgrade on the already existing one e get why.

Before you venture into any skill, you need to make sure it fits into this two criteria:
1) Your skill tends to serve foreigners, hence you're paid in foreign currency (preferably the USD- for obvious reasons);
2) Your skill tends to target the rich, although minority population of Nigeria, as a vast majority of Nigerians are poor.

Not adhering to these two rules will lead to tears. Just my own little contribution.

MisterKennedy:


Nice write-up bro.

You took the words right off my mouth

You are not just intelligent but a man of great wisdom

Hannaleeyah:


And who told you you can't be a pro at video editing, graphic designing with your mobile just to start with?
It's time people stop giving excuses like I need laptop,those excuses aren't worthy..even as I am now,I use mobile phone for most of my works when I'm not at home with my PC and it's almost as perfect as that of PC,so what's stopping you? I ensured I learnt and master the use of mobile and PC for every work I do,it helps
