My opinion tho..the passion you have is rare!but however ...the world is advanced now i would suggest you work and school
National open university is there..you can save up in bits..work/business+school....you still get to take care of your siblings and yourself,and you achieve your dream of getting an education.Nothing good comes easy....if you are given the money for school what about subsequent times+other responsibilities

Its cold but its the truth. He needs between to be told. It's going to be very difficult for him especially looking at his story. He will need at the very least 100,000 a year to study ( including his needs).
Why not wait it out till your'e at least financially ok. His whole family is dependent on him. He's paying debt off, sisters education, rent and all that. Where will he get the money to school?
Even a part time job in the university is not easy to get.

He can work a few more years and save up and go to university comfortably.
He can beg for money now and use faith to continue his university.

I like to pick the more realistic option.

Secondly, university is not the only. A lot of Nigerians are millionaires from their handwork - painting, electrician, business owners, etc.

Izugab:
First off, good evening my dear nairalanders. This problem has been quite insidious that I couldn't predict what the end of it could be.

Actually, I've seen lots of testimonies and helps that have been rendered to countless fellow nairalanders and this has prompted me to writing out this to see if God will help me as well from this great and noble forum.

I left secondary school in 2012 at a non-encouraging age of 20 cos of some set backs when I was little. In fact, I live in one of the most remote place in Nigeria. I live at Okpoko to be precise. Am an indigenous of Umuoghara Ugo, Ezza North in Ebonyi state. I'll certainly be 24 by June 14 this year.

I was a bright student actually not until my family's problems affected me psychologically and otherwise. I've been writing jamb and postutme since 2013 but it's not been successful. I processed my admission last year 2015 right from jamb to postutme and it's successful. I can't afford to forget the acclamation showered on me when my friend to me that he saw my name in UNN's merit list. I was hysterical with joy and happiness when I checked my name on the list by myself. But hardly did I know that my happiness will fade with time and my schooling a reality still within my dream world.
About my family

I am the third child of a family of eight. My dad left us when I was in Jss3, that's 2009 to be precise. My elder brother managed to take his wassce exam and went into work. We've been managing from the little that comes from the meagre earnings of my mother and brother. My elder sister got admitted into the university a year before I came out of secondary school. My brother managed to save up little money plus the ones he borrowed without our knowledge and travelled to Holland. We thought that all was alright cos of the prospect of a better life ahead of us. He was deported after four months. Luckily for me, I started working at a production company. From my earnings, I catered for all my sisters tuition fees in school. I pay our house rent monthly. A times, I bring money for food at home. My mum and I pooled our earnings to settle the debt owed by my brother. I can vividly say with tears in my eyes that things ve been bad for us.

My current state

Since I was admitted into UNN, I've tried all my best in terms of finance but none is coming forth. The most saddening and discouraging part of it is that UNN imposed on all the freshers a whole sum of seventy thousand(N70 000) for laptop which can as well be paid on installments of N25 000 for three times as well as huge sum of N58950 as school fees. I only managed to pay N25 000 acceptance fee but the school fees and the N25 000 for the first installment of the laptop has kept me away from school despite the fact that the 2015/2016 session started last year by December. Now the Christmas and new year holiday has lapsed and lectures are to resume by Monday 11 January.

Please my fellow nairalanders, I need financial help now. I can't afford to lose this admission after paying N25 000 acceptance fee. I can't write another jamb now either cos am emotionally, psychologically and physically strained to the extent that my brain can't process anything which I read.

I'll answer any question thrown on me. I can upload the pix of my documents as relevant to my admission as a proof.

My own advice is why do you want to go to university?

You've been working a factory job that you have used to train your siblings and families. Why don't you open a business, or go to technical school ( learn handwork) or continue your old job

You cannot afford university, and it will only get tougher. What about next term school fees, house rents, textbooks money, feeding and transportation money for four years?

studying with those kind of uncertainty is bad, you might fail out or even get kicked out for non payment of fees. Graduating from university does not guarantee a better life.

If you really want to go to university, upgrade your skills and jobs. Save a lot of money that can cover your fees for four/five years and then you can study

That aside, I hope you get all the help you need!

Raymondenyi:
Quite touching, I think the 1st commentator Was spot on in her advice, she gave u a splendid advice...... even graduates from schools now bank on hand works and skills to make a living.... u should have taken that part....... Most times personally I really wish I had a trade...

Kunlexic:
Education is not a privilege but a RIGHT.From ur right up now u are saying children from rich home only have access to education...smh

Tylerdan:
OP send me an email request or send me your number lets see what we can do. Please don't allow anyone discourage you from pushing for your dream, if you want the route of having an academic qualification don't be discouraged by the first commentators advise. stay your cause and fight for what you believe.

lets have your number.

raayah:


Did you miss the part where I said he should wait and save up until he's financially capable to go to university.

Tertiary education is not a right. Its a privilege.

OP send me an email request or send me your number lets see what we can do

raayah:


Misinformation! Degree is definitely not the best path to success. Millions of Nigerians arr rich without degrees!
the president of Nigeria does not even have a degree!
You think hairdressers don't make money

I'm not discouraging him. I only told him that it may not be easy. I told him to wait and secure funds that will help him go through university easier, this is also on par with what others are saying - deferment.

It's time for us to start encouraging trades in this country.

It's also hypocritical for you to call my post rubbish, when you also did not give a constructive advice.

Izugab:
According to earthrealm,

I received a call from a Lady(God sent though). I don't know if she'll be pleased if I mention her name though. So she promised to send 50k before 2pm tomorrow and also promised to be sending across to me a whole sum of 5k monthly for three months. She's truly a God sent as this will help in a bigger way.

I ve also seen pm and I've replied them, so am optimistically hoping that something good happens.
To those that sent me pm, am really grateful, so I'll be glad if I get a response from u all.

If anyone has made any payment in my account, then I've not seen any alert cos the sim I registered my account with was stolen about three months ago which I'll try as much as possible to retrieve the number through welcome back from Mtn. But meanwhile, I'll check on the customer care of my bank or use ATM rather to know if there's any payment made. I can actually see the light shining at the end of the tunnel.

@Sir Nyafuyafu, I saw ur message immediately I charged up my phone by 7:0 pm. I'll call u again tomorrow. Thanks for sending the text message too.

Izugab:

Am a Catholic. I've met with two parish priest Buh they couldn't help. One said that there's nothing on him and the other just waved hands to me saying that I should come for Tuesday prayers. I tried to explain to him Buh he didn't want me to go further.

JUSTbuchi:
wow, really good to hear

You are blessed bro

2odd:

though a very Good idea but we can't predict wat the cost of living will b in 5yrs time and believe me he can't save up four years fee in a yr. what if he looses the current job now. A program is being run in my school where self sponsoring students get to work for a few hrs for 12 k a month. but UNN lack such.

Izugab:

Actually since I've paid the acceptance fee. What's remaining is the laptop fee of N70 000 and N58 950 which is N128 950. But according to the school and those that were cleared, I can pay the laptop on installment of N25 000 basis.
So the money I need now is N58 950(school fees) and N25 000 which will amount to N83 950.

Izugab:
