BadBoy25: who told you that? is that your assumption ? also ,not everyone wants to be billionaire. some people just wanna be millionaires . not everyone wants to be famous etc. some people like privacy . I would not like to be a billionaire or famous. Millionaire ,Yes ! range: 5 to 100 million .
Ok good for you. My initial comment was based on the comment you made about John D Rockefeller being the only billionaire you respect. Bill gates and others aside been billionaires have achieved a lot and deserve your respect too. Moreover John D. Rockefellers wealth was made by killing competition, something called monopolisation I think. There are many active laws now against such.

Does this one teach us any sense, how many Nigerian Billionaires that were drop- out were mentioned or is it only white men that were drop-outs made it in life. Better do your research well!

Even at that ,some of them ,if not all have gone back to school to sharpen their skills further an gain more know-how.so school is still important.

Ruhbiee: 10. David Geffen
Unlike most self-made billionaires who left
college to start a successful business right
away, David Geffen's road was a bit rockier.
He graduated from high school barely
passing with a 66 percent average. After
attending three semesters at the University
of Texas in Austin and enrolling in the
Brooklyn College only to drop out again, he
went on to work for ten years in the
entertainment business before founding
Asylum Records in the 1970′s. In 1980 he
started Geffen Records, and in 1990 DGC
Records. With a current net worth of $5.5
billion, David Geffen is now one of the three
co-founders of DreamWorks SKG. kissUnlike most self-made billionaires who left

My dear, it was easy for them over there because they had/have Governments who embraces such efforts. And assist them by any means possible to making their dream and efforts come to reality. But in our case, the poorest are the graduates, Profs. While the richest are those who doesn't even understand the word MS dos, Facebook or Oracle. How do you think we can make it here?

Education is not got only from the classroom. There is something called life experience. The journalist who negotiated for the release of the Chibok girls has only a primary school certificate but yet he writes very good English.

They had dreams not growing businesses. Someone like Will Smith had long said he was not going to a university before he became a famous actor. I know such things hardly work here sha.

School simply cannot handle their ingenuity. spending more days in school will see them withered off their fabulous ideas.
If you have nothing (brilliant innovative skills) upstairs, then u had better stay put and get ur first class in the academics.

Musicians are also brilliant pple only that they are notorious for bad style of living...puffing smokes, drinking hard, parties
blah blah blah.
They are no diff from GEEKS who also hv peculiar/pathetic ways of life too. eg Not caring about friends (at the formative
years), thus unsocial (not antosocial) bcoz they need all the time in this world to concentrate on the work at hand (24hrs isnt enough for a programmer). They
do not fear losing the most beautiful girl, bcoz what is at the end of the tunnel will always bring the best of girls coming
to flaunt and flirt him overtly -whenever he gets value for his skills.

GentleMimi: Some silly peeps fail to get the story or the moral of the story.
Your life limitations should not limit your goal and vision. Education is not a gaurantee for success,its just the oil to make the journey to success smoother and easier.
Rely not upon the things/situation around you to define your destiny.
My prayer be say Baba God go carry me go higher level wey pass my qualification and skill. Grace combined with personal doggedness is unbeatable.
thank you jare.you said my mind.some people are shallow minded.that is still the root cause of poverty in this country counting on the goverment for every deem thing thereby limiting there ability.the excess of going to school is to develop and being shown the ability embedded in you ,cos its all in you -your destiny.

True. But try to get it that education goes beyond possessing a degree.

Some dont even know the excess of education .from nigeria mentality they go to school having it at the back of their mind that they are doing this to upgrade their social status and to have the credentials for job. Education is more than this .it is the development of your inner abilities or mind, known or unknown to bring about unseen dreams and visions for the development of the world.consider those popular and founding fathers of science and technology,scientists and inventors ,many of them foot go to school.thats one of the reason God gave us the brain ,it has the ability to grow with more info or knowledge we are exposed to. thats why we human are not thesame cos our mind is us.thats what differentiate the intelligent people from coupons.take a study from the life of the white. Everything is not about acquiring things for urself but the number of problem you can solve and ur ability to do it. from this people will pay.again there are a lot of difference between education and exposure
