My degree has been under my bed for the past ten years, I have learnt to survive without using it to work. People still tell me every now and then to go for master, master my left yansh.
I took 500k loan last week from Coop, 220k from NIRSAL and hopefully another 500k from Coop next week (there was delay already). They want me to go for master and come back and still be roaming the streets for jobs?
I took 1.2m loan two months ago from the Coop and 170k has been made in return already

You can try and see if you will get a scholarship abroad though I am still an undergraduate

Nice one OP.
I have a story to share about my the timeline of my life after nysc. I collected my discharge certificate by march this year.
If someone wants me to post how i have been living

Pls, quote me


My post has been quoted
Let me share my timeline
I collected my certificate by march 5. I served in Ogun state. Ijoko to be precise.
The certificate collection was on Thursday, i comot reach ogbomoso the next day.

By Monday, I resume to a nursery and primary school in my area. Though, I once worked with the proprietor b4. I was given yoruba teacher for primary 4&5...as a hustler, I didn't argue.
I had to look for another sch looking for emergency teacher, i became phe teacher, part time in another sec sch in the area
Boom, on the 23rd of march, school closure. I sha go collect half salary jejely.

As a sharp guy, i started lesson for waec students in my area and pry sch pupils
500 naira per week for ss class students
30 naira per day for pry pupils
Sometimes, I have like 8k per week after settling my feeding and d teachers.

Oh, i have some savings b4 i went for nysc. I entered cooperative.. Young nigga, borrowed loan. Find a land in a new area. Cheap land tho. I started the sch building. Now I have a nursery and primary school to call my own which will resume when the new session starts.
I dey enter from house to house to canvass for pupils but d parents have nt really show interest.

People have applied for a teaching job here. I only interviewed a lady, she has nce. I told her to resume with the sch.

I sat down and think abt my life.
God is indeed wonderful

I just pray my new sch get blessed and being able to repay the loan.

God bless you bro. You will surely recoup your loan.

It will turn out well eventually by His grace.

School in Nigeria is a very useless Institution, Before you come to Blast me, know that you jave to explain to me Why as a child, you’d be told by everyone to be serious with school and formal education else yoh would end up like Mama Anayo that sews clothes and fights customers all the time, So you listen and give school everything u have and more then you finish, Only to be told to Go and learn Fashion designing from same Mama Anayo that everyone should be humble, and so Mama Anayo who never went to school and has gathered experience over the years will now start her own education for you, giving you instructions and even Punishing you for coming late while paying you transport and Lunch money only that’s if you’re lucky not to have paid Apprenticeship fee(Another school fee) Ab-Initio

Interesting

Angelfrost:
Nysc is just a lull in the life of an average independent Nigerian... A vacation from the reality of the rat race ahead!!!

One of the mistakes we make as youths is to assume all will fall into place upon graduation and service... Our kids have to be taught earlier to start planning their financial future, even before gaining admission to universities, for those disposed or interested in going that far.

Even when you plan

Nigeria will still happen

Nice and interesting

All of una just dey say start business, start business... No be money them take dey start business?... No be money dem take dey register for skill acquisition?... Most people where just lucky to have family members that would help but for some people that does not have anyone to help how do you want them to start ...op dey say him shame for the guy wey wan buy okada...do you know how much okakda men make a day?...do you know that with good plans and peinciples in a year that guy would have made enough money to start up a good business?... See let's face reality squarely and stop beating around the bush...Nigeria school na biiiiggggg scam....atop all those your unnecessary praise for school... Education is the key but not in Africa...na only English we dey learn finish.

That is the misconception Nigerian graduates have, settling for less. Do you know you can start a good business with less than 50k? My wife started her importation business wit 40k, today she is making millions...

It's all about connect with the right people...

True... But, it's far worse when you don't plan.

Most Nigerians don't even have the slightest clue about what to do with their lives on graduating, even after nysc.

This is a good post. Thanks for sharing

Did you study education?

My dear you have said it all, my savour was that I learned sewing during that period, if not my life after Nysc would have been a mess. Because you Will seen as a liability if you don't have any thing doing.

Great post!You forgot to add slipping into depression.The mistake Nigerians make is thinking that companies will roll out the red carpets for you because you have a degree.SAED in Nysc camp was put in place to ensure you don't have to get a job first before you can eat.

I learnt that the hard way after i finished serving.I had a mindset that doing business was beneath me.I thank God i already had a business in school, I went back to it after graduation and today it's a household name in my industry.
.

My advice to graduates,learn a skill.If you get a good paying job, it's fine.If you don't, you know you won't be calling people to beg for transportation money to go for job interviews.Getting an education is good, but it's not a money spinner.

The sharwarma guy i patronize has never worked for anyone in his life.He has a building project,was able to buy a Toyota camry (muscle) and his family and two kids are living well.After NYSC,look around you, you must not make it from Shell Job.

Here comes another discouragement......after delaying for 5yrs good years....and ve finally made up my mind to serve..then this post....hmmm

Na the same ship carry us be that. I have been delaying mine for three years now. No drive to serve at alk

ednut1:
Welcome to Nigeria where 90% of graduates are on instagram selling hair, bitcoin, shoes and bag. . Op is shading someone for thinking about okada, but the mini importation self is not easy when customs and customers deal with you eye go clear. People wey no go school dey also import. So let him do his okada in peace

i swear down..okada riders are buying land in my estate.Thrs money in it.

Kanoski:


Thanks 4 ur response man.
Ur brother is really doing well.

My only issue is that av gone deep into plumbing cus I started learning b4 I got admission even though I had always wanted to be an electrical engineer.
Picking up another skill is not really an issue bt u know wat the say na..
U can't serve two masters at a time.
:-

That's my point, continue with your plumbing. My plumber is my neighbourhood older brother who study Building Tech in a federal poly up to HND level. He leant the work through his friend who equally studied Accounting up to HND level. Both are currently doing fine individually today. Sometimes, individually winning contracts of about 8 flats at a time!
Nigeria is really messed up, but one just need to find a way to avoid roaming the streets for years after graduation.

Plan for your future before NYSC. Engage in semi skilled labour. Daily income is better than monthly income.

In summary, if you want to be wealthy? Don't be a graduate. Real men drop out for school and enter street. Self made millionaire is a graduate from the university of street.

Another balderdash! How many notable companies in Nigeria were founded by school dropouts?
