You're about to see something that'll change your life and mindset. Not reading this short 3 minutes post is the greatest height of laziness in life.

I always talk against school, but school is not bad — what is bad is solely depending on it.
    
Some years ago, I returned to Nigeria after my studies and as a student whose school wasn't here, I had no one to process my NYSC while I chill at home from all academic stress.

One day left for batch A registration to end in Abuja and it was impossible to meet up by road, so I booked Arik Air and flew to Abuja and lodged at a hotel.

Early in the morning, I headed to NYSC headquarter at Gowon's Complex or whatever they call it.

Unfortunately, they told me batch A registration is over and I need to return next year for batch B. I pleaded to no avail.

To make a long story short, batch B worked for me and I had all things relating to NYSC handled.

Now NYSC is over, it's time for job. Na here wey yawa gas.

Naturally, I hate jobs, but man must wak, so I had to search for job.

They'll say, it's here in Port Harcourt, come to Abuja, come to Lagos, etc. I'll travel like a cow and nothing worked out.

For a year or two, I stopped searching because it's stressful and kept eating mommy's food and getting pocket money.

Unfortunately, APC took over power and everything crumbled. No more pocket money and we moved from 3 square meal to 1 or max 2.

In 2016, I got angry with Buhari because everything he touches gets from bad to worse.

One day, in May 2016, I was searching for how to become a billionaire on Google and ended up on Nairaland.

Some funny comments made me laugh and that was how I started perusing the site and found myself in the Romance section.

With all the threads I was seeing from men asking for relationship advice, I decided to start creating posts to help those guys.

Realizing how toxic the people I was trying to teach for free were, I turned all my hundreds of threads I posted on Nairaland to books (deleted those threads — in my now deactivated account) and started selling them on Amazon.

I struggled on Amazon for some years to make sales, but I never stopped learning how Amazon works and how the pros do it.

Finally, it clicked and I started making money from book sales on Amazon. My life had never been the same ever since. I now make more than most people who work in big companies with fat salaries while I sleep.

While this pandemic is on and people are at home crying of lack of money, I keep making more while in my room.

Money is no longer my issue, so I decided to focus on how to invest and manage money and not how to make money.

Though, if you look at it critically, knowing how to invest money is actually the same as how to make more money.

I have given up on job search ever since and I NEVER apply for anything that looks like job again.

Talking about job, my mother called me some weeks ago to bring my CV over to forward to a certain person, but I told her not to worry that I don't need a job.

"I know you don't need a job, but just bring it — you can still do this work to pass time instead of just being indoors all alone in your house," she said.

"Also, this is like a chance given to you and interview is not needed — the pay is 350k to 400k and you'll be at the office," she added.

I blatantly told her I don't need it and I'm not coming. After a week of not seeing me, she sent my younger brother to come take it.

He came and I didn't open the gate for him — I just gave him my CV through the opening on the gate and he left.

Some days later, I got a message with some essential information about the work from the company and my job position (level 15).

This company is an international company and was established way before Nigeria gained independence and I think it's owned by the federal government or it has been privatized.

They are in most big cities like PH, Abuja, Lagos, and many more.

After consulting a friend if I should take this work, he advised me to because I have never worked in my life before. This will be my first work. I deliberated on the city I should choose.

As someone who hates noise and stress, Lagos is really terrible for me, but because I'd love to go fully into importation business from China and car business from Canada, Lagos is the best choice for me to receive my goods.

I'll get a call up message any month from now. Sadly, I'm scared of traveling to anywhere beyond this zone I'm currently staying. I don't want to risk my life because of 400k — something I now make in several folds while I sleep.

A dead man can't make money.

Las las, this will be my first work, but I'll resign after two months — if it's stressful — I don't want to slave for money; I love seeing money slave for me. Anyway, let me just have a taste (for the first time) how working with colleagues feel.

Lesson to Learn From This Post

1. Going to school doesn't guarantee you a job.

2. Studying abroad or in Nigeria doesn't guarantee you a job as it used to.

3. In Nigeria, connection is key in getting things done faster.

4. Most job offers you see on the Internet are mirages — the ogas at the top have shared the chances already (to their people) and the interview you're going for is just for fancy; only God and luck can save you.

5. Don't depend on job — only see job as your option C. Your option A should be your digital skill (online skills) and your option B should be your technical skills (offline skills).

6. Don't slave for money — make money your slave, but it doesn't hurt to have a taste of how slaving for money feels for a short period of time so you can have a story to tell.

The people with more stories to tell have more chances of making more digital money when those stories are packaged in videos, books, audio, courses, or as seminars.

In summary, you can go to school, but make job your option C and focus on option A or B. When you're successful with option A or B, option C will look for you.

Put yourself in a position where you'll make money while you sleep and people can envy you or get jealous if they wish to and not in a position you'll be the one getting jealous of others.

Being successful does not discriminate of your family background. It doesn't matter if you're from a rich home or a poor home. All that matters is the action you take today and the ones you took 5 years ago or refused to take.

Action + unwavering focus = success. Also, success = more successes.

If you can't do this, don't be jealous of someone who took the time to do it. I'm not from a rich family, so if I can do it, you can do better.

Thank you, make clean money, stay honest, and stay focused.

@ZINIBANKS, I have shown people things for free all my life without charging them money. I have privately chatted with thousands of Nairalanders since 2016 via email, WhatsApp, and phone call and answered all their questions for free or directed them to where they'll get the answer.

Unfortunately, some bad eggs with toxic personalities ruined that free part of me. So, I no longer guide people for free even paid. I just ignore totally and mind my business.

Finally, I'm only here on Nairaland to inspire and motivate people — not to teach or guide people as I used to. After motivating them, they can use YouTube or Google to find a guide.

I hope you get my own side of the story.

Uruba23, sadly, I may not be of help because debugging is time consuming. I don't have such time to spend.

From your screenshot — after showing it to a guru friend of mine, he said the NPM needs a new version that the one you're trying to install is old and that's why it's showing deprecated.
