Securing your future with some square shops. You had better leave Nigeria and see the world of young entrepreneurs in different fields and not just tech. Wake up niqqa. How many people does that shop employ in a year? Am talking about young entrepreneurs employing 30 - 70 people with a minimum pay of $2,000 monthly. Wake up buddy.

Very soon, E-commerce will take over those businesses completely.

U arectge one thats being unrealistic...everyone cant v a tech guru and everyone cant leave the country... trade will always b more vast that technology... its more visible to earn thru trade than I.T... I.T is complex ... if the traders don't sell the computer equipments to u , how wud u even bcom an I.T guru??

Did you read were i said tech and other businesses? Tech by the way doesn't necessarily mean you need equipments.... For example, why il i want to spend 10 hours in traffic when i can easily order the product from the comfort of my office and home??

Things are changing, you don't have to leave Nigeria, however, equip yourself with modern businesses.

And for the record the world is changing trade to become more technologically driven.

The level PDP and APC have led us to.

professor, thank you sir, little wonder your own country is the capital of internet wuruwuru

Mr educated, use ur education for innovation as it obtainable in advanced countries and not to swindle people all over the world.

in ur cryptocurrency , u sit down without doing a single meaningful job, but monitoring when bitcoins will jack up to cash out, what a fraudulent mindset from evil people? Provided you don't back it up with female pants


ur cryptocurrency that only teenagers that know how to do it and in which it brings extreme wealth within a twinkle of eye.

Your mind is chained to dumbness.

Go online and make research so that you won't continue behaving like a dumb fool

Lol.... You must be kidding right?? There is a difference between college degrees and a masters degree.

Just about 30% of Americans have a Bachelors degree, mind you, the average college student is 26.4 years of age. So tell me why they are not surprised?? I don't think you understand the American Education system.

Oh really? Next you will be telling me there is a difference between primary school and secondary school, won't you?

Nonsense.

The more degrees the black man gets from whiteman, the more foolish he becomes, because he becomes a better slave of whiteman.

Only by a reeducation in REAL black history and revolution can be of any benefit to his people.

It's not by blowing rhetoric

The government must drive the initiative. But where you have a clueless government
What do you want the ordinary people to do?

The private sector drives 97 percent of US's gdp.


Nigerian's are not aggressive enough. Yea aggressive with simple things but shy away from complicated problems.

That's the US you are talking about
Here in Nigeria
The government drives everything with it's policies

Eg the crypto currency issue
Nigerian government banned it enforcing it on Banks
While in the US government allows it to go on

So you can't compare the two countries
The battle, threats and challenges one is facing here is too much

Those trading crypto are not innovating, just trading.

I'm talking about innovative tech startups that solve local problems.

Don't get me wrong a lot are trying especially with fintechs but we're not aggressive and creative enough.

We have more moaners than problem solvers, we need to get the numbers up.

You must have a clear cut mind to think out solutions, to be creative and innovative

When basic stuffs are cloudied up on people, you think they can think straight

Why is sub Saharan Africa the most underdeveloped and impoverished part of the world

Finding the factors that caused that will point you to the reasons we have moaners and less problem solvers

What of Financial Accounting?

With skills

It's bad everywhere. A 'degree' is almost useless or at least less useful than connections and experience.

Good article. Also, the mindset of getting a degree because of job/ employment should be changed drastically. Education is meant to expose one to ideas that can make one a change agent or solution provider in society. When the mindset to solve any of the myriad of problems goes with a person, no matter the course, the person will do well. Legitimate and sorrowfree wealth and riches are rewards from providing solutions to problems.

It takes a great mind and exposure to be a tech entrepreneur. Most of this boy boy you see in Alaba never progress globally. Their business starts and ends there. Thats the difference.

Every tech entrepreneurs and business owners i have met in my travels have at least a Bachelors degree, also they are able to source for funding of over 1-2 million dollars effortlessly.

I can put my business plans into paper and slides and sale it to an investor in Hong Kong, USA, U.K and be eloquent enough for any investor to want to invest, can you say same for someone in Alaba. I am not against people selling in Alaba, however, thier projections are limited by thier environment.

abegi most of those guys are fucking millionaires even their small environment
is not every company that would be Patstack na

I never said they are not. But sooner or later, Ecommerce will push them down.

That is not my point. My point is, educated entrepreneurs are not limited to a square metre shop. I have a business of my own outside Nigeria, and i am working on a App which I cannot talk about here. Thank you.

Bill Gate no get a degree ooo

Even Vitali B. ETH co-founder has no degree but deals with advanced mathematics.

Our problem is lingua franca.

Bill Gates does not have a college degree. He enrolled at Harvard College in 1973 to study pre-law but also studied mathematics and took a graduate-level computer science course.

He left Havard after two years. He is not an illiterate, he had a formal education.


After high school, Vitalik B attended the University of Waterloo. There, he took advanced courses and was a research assistant.

The richest man in the world today,
Jeff Bezos, does have a degree and from a very prestigious university. He graduated from Princeton University with a Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science.

Alon Musk graduated with an undergraduate degree in economics and stayed for a second bachelor's degree in physics. After leaving Penn, Musk headed to Stanford University in California to pursue a PhD in energy physics.

Mark Zuckerberg Due to his early signs of success, his parents got him a computer programming tutor while he was still in high school, and they enrolled him in a prep school in New Hampshire. After graduating from prep school, Zuckerberg enrolled at Harvard University. He left Havard after is sophomore year to focus on Facebook.

Benard Arnault, the third richest man in the world, graduated from the École Polytechnique in Paris with a degree in engineering.

Warren Buffett graduated from the University of Nebraska at 19 with a Bachelor of Science degree in business administration. Although rejected by Harvard, Buffett went onto Columbia University, where he earned a Master of Science in economics in 1951.


All these guys with dropout story had a formal education. Don't be deceived.

Did you happen to know maybe Nigeria degree has any real value in advanced nation ??

Yes it does. What they usually do is that they evaluate your results (class of degree/transcript) so that they can convert it to theirs and see where you stand. Having said that, you need to be able to prove yourself, thats the essence of going to school in the first place.

Your best bet is to do a certificate/certification courses in your field whenever you're out of naija. That helps greatly.

oh really but what i do hear is kinda different.

You cannot compare the quality of the system there to the ones in Nigeria.

Especially professional courses say Engineering or Medical Science that is done completely wrong in Naija, help me understand how they do stuff like that.

I wouldn't say completely wrong, however, we are not on the same level. its highly practical and more advanced in the west, far advanced. However, isn't it the same graduate from Nigeria winning the best graduating students in the U.S and U.K, etc?? Put your mind to success and work towards it. We have so many Nigerian Doctors doing exploit oversea and they all had their first degree from Nigeria.
