Unbelievable! God has opened your eyes! Pls run! Since you have no mental addiction to certificate pls run from school. You'll regret it if you stay a day more. Marry your bizness. You'll employ graduates soon. One day universities will even study what you have done and give you certificates and honor so as to have money. Pls run and go and do deliverance from your two years in school. My current landlord didn't finish secondary school. He's a merchant who owns franchises from UK, China and India. Pls forget school. It's pure scam. You won't benefit! If you want knowledge, go to google search page, Alexa, Siri, yahoo search etc and you'll learn more than you want with links to professionals etc... Basic education for reading and writing well is all you need. If you want to be rich, university is scam. Pls run! 2 Likes 1 Share |

proffemi: In Nigerian setting, schools aren't the best thing to happened to us. God did not create foolish people but our educational system does. When you go to school they tell you, you will be among the successful people, at times you look at peers that didn't go to school as waste in the society. When you go to school they will tell you, you will have a high pay job, more account balance bla bla bla. Its when you graduated and comes to labour market your brain will got reformatted. How many billionaires are professors? Most of billionaires are dropout or didn't wasted much time in school. 3 Likes |

I fall in the same category, Am a student of a federal polytechnic in the country studying marketing, I was brought up in a poor home where my Dad is the only person catering for our needs while my mum is late though am a hustler and no longer depend on my Dad for my school runs, Am done with my one year industrial training and am ready to go back to school to finish up what I started, thank God for what I saved, I never knew I could save such amount of money. during my ND days I lived an extravagant life trying to please everyone, engaging in school politics just to gain fame now I have discovered my mistakes and such won't repeat itself again , Am thinking of a business to do with 100k while in school because I don't want to fall a victim of frustrated graduates, I have set aside this amount of money for a great business idea. |

Apply for suspension of studies Try business for one session If it's work , fine continue If it doesn't go back to school. From personal experience am just imagining how much I would have make as a business if not for school, in life everything happens for a reason and always thank God in any situation you are cause you better than you think. School now is just for the respects/status but not for money/success. |

I never want to drop out, Have learnt a lot of lessons from graduates with or no jobs, Life is just a survival of the fittest, We just have to commit what we do in the hands of God and we shall be established, Life favored some calibers of people while others complained of an unfavourable stage of their life, As an undergraduate I sort and search for an idea that will make me an employer of labour one day 1 Like |

Quote me right School environs is a place where you can nurture yourself, Study people, Learn new things and get yourself ready to face your tomorrow, Op I must ask you, What prompted you to further your education? To get a well paid job? To be respected? For a brighter future? And why do you want to drop out from school? To make money? Know it that there is no shortcut to our dream route To be under your uncle? How many years will it take you to recover and get financial freedom? I sensed you are dropping out because you have no passion for your course and can never make something out of it. You are confuse today because you are running out of cash, What will you tell your uncle if you finally drop out and found yourself there again? He will laugh at you because you mission is impossible and can never be possible, My brother check yourself, I advice you to finish up then go back later for full time business since you are incline in the business, 1 Like |

You can as well access loan from your uncle and start your own business maybe after graduation, Start planning yourself now. The certificate you acquired or acquiring is a back up should in case any bad occurrence in your business..... So the useless paper called certificate is an asset too, Though education in Nigeria is a poor one but you have to stand out to shun and shame unemployment by employing yourself, build career in your course study if you really know what you studied in school. |

AbuMaryam1: Thank you for at least trying to let us reason this through. The highlighted part is completely false o. The Nigerian educational system is not very good at adding real enduring value, I'll give you that. Still, you're statistically better of *by far* with formal education than without. 1 Like |

proffemi: You Sounds like Buhari's supporter. Well, we don't mean not going to school entirely. At least one will learn one or two at certain level. Mind you school doesn't necessarily western education or English, as wrongly perceived by the majority. Go to school to some extend at the verge of remaining a slave forever...! Hope you aren't one of the victims. |

tommyken: u will hear differently things from different people because people have different story , a lot of people here talk about people who made it without school but what about people that did make it with school, what about people that schools have them the opportunity and connection to go high ? , u might think the certificate useless but u must ask urself how far are u willing to go in life ? not having a certificate is a shame to many people , do u know how many people despite having money are going back to school ask kanayo O kanayo and co so u must ask urself is it possible to do both business and school , doesn't matter if u slack off in school , if not u must also ask urself what do I really need at the moment? u say things are hard for u , if so is school worth starving for ? because man must chop b4 anything else but if u can try and finish school 2 years could pass in the snap of ur fingers |

OP you really don't need any one's validation to do whatever you think is best for you. We all have stories to tell but that's not the essence of the thread. I think we should have a rethink on what education can do for a man. The goal of education is not necessarily to get a paying job upon completion. The university and other training institutions are the best platforms to find and make good friends that will later form your strong connect in the future. It's unfortunate that some of us had to fight through life on our own. Sir with all due respect, giving up on education isn't worth it. Education is one of the key ingredient to any successful business outfit. You may want to list people who weren't educated but are sitting on large conglomerate but mind you this business are managed for them by educated hands. The climax of it all is that you should define your own path and follow suit with a sound educational background the sky is going to be your starting point. Most aba traders and the likes would have been richer than the guys we know to be rich today. The distinction is that they are not learned. Here is my personal quote for you sir School will only certify you, but the right to defining your limits is solely yours.... |
