When choosing a skill to learn, always check your interest and try to ensure that the skill you are wanting to learn will be relevant and one that will be able to still remain profitable in the future. Some skills are no longer worth learning because their profit margin is now so small that you financial situation will not change even after you struggle to learn it. So you must be very selective in choosing a skill to learn.

Exactly you need to choose a better skill that can bring you money because they are many skill but dey no dey value them weller, technology done fa now many people don't stress there self to learn skills because they reason say he no dey bring money like before many people done turn investors for online platform because they believe say na for online money dey now all this hand work now,  if you no be say you start am for small childhood he go hard for you to learn it now because you have grow up you no go fit sit-down for 1 months to be learning hand work like tailor or barbering and other small skills, and now self if no be say dey on celebrite Christmas or sallah that will bring you huge money when you be tailor and that one is just a year, if no be say you go get contract where you go dey Sewe clothes for business people or some industry where go dey bring you money any time, and now where everything done cause now without money you no go fit learn work for person hand self.

What about if you learn a better skill and you're well in it but you need finance to establish the skill you have learnt so how can one raise the money? like you talked about fashion designers ain't they gonna rent a shop? Buy sewing machines and pay for electricity bills and other sewing equipment. So it isn't really easy for anyone at all but my advice is just that we should learn the skills first so that when an opportunity comes for us to establish it then we can conveniently do it without any fear.
getting finance to start up as a skilled individual isn't always a big deal provided you are very skilled at what you're doing. And let point this out that being skilled doesn't necessarily mean that you need to start up something of your own. There are lots of existing firms and organisation that will be willing to pay you well just to get you working for them. Even when people are complaining of lack of jobs in the country, big companies are searching seriously for young skilled and smart individual to recruit. Being skilled puts you at an advantage while applying for those jobs. I'm not against thinking on starting on your own but the process isn't always that easy because you might have not had the require experience and the intended audience to market your service to at thee onset and so it is very possible for your business I struggle. Skills like barbing, driving, plumbing, graphics, air dressing, and others of this nature doesn't require serious capital to start but how you decide to go about this is totally up to you.

You dey very correct sir but the thing be say skill dey for different categories and you go agree with say no be all skill dey function i.e no be all skill work dey always dey well well and again this time around na man know man,  u fit good for a particular skill but because say they no sabi you u don miss the chance na him be that.  
However,  skill dey very important and make pesin try learn the wey work go dey always come and dey try pray for connection because the country wey we dey no be am at all
I no go fit accept say no be all skill they function. My broda all skill they function e they pay very well it all depends on the way wey you take they manage your skill. Another be say packaging they important, me han no go say nah make life but the way wey you appear and talk nah the way wey client go use address you con scan to know your worth. I get friend wey they into furniture the guy no get shop self him only get in materials con they pay person for workplace whenever him get job. But if you see where this guy they go meet in client when they wan discuss you get think say this guy get big company. Him wey you see like that they charge high pass people self wey get shop.

Honestly the era of white collar jobs don the pass na skill orientated jobs whether digital or technical jobs dey rein now, unfortunately there are plenty graduates now in the country but na few white collar jobs dey available, however na all those technical skills get upper hand now tillers, plumbers, PoP installers, Alluminium window and door installers, Solar panel installers etc creating time to  acquire any of those skills sure pass unfortunately Naija graduates no want to lower their pride to learn any of them besides those jobs there are graphic design, content writing, forex and crypto trading etc all these digital skills if acquired such a personal can never get broke but how many graduate fit sit down to learn it? I think it's only few of them.

Any person wey dey complain about unemployment for naija just dey wait time, anyhow we complain no change so no need to complian. Even the least skill/handwork for naija dey pay well, na why everybody dey find handwork to learn. Truth be told I prefer owning a business small or big because expecting government employment for naija just dey as if you dey wait for thy kingdom come. When last government employ graduates na only when them wan come for election na that time them go bring job opportunities. Last time I checked skillful jobs wey dey pay well for naija the first one wey I see na writing so I sure say people wey dey engage for this writing dey make am.
  Even when it’s is important to learn a skill and how important it impact will bring to us, we should also consider that not everyone is privileged to have the resources to learn a skill, you might have a good writing skill but you then you might not know where to apply them if you don’t know, same as someone who has a thing with graphic designing, if you don’t know where to apply your skill the skill will just be there without any productivity. No be everybody day lazy, some just no get any idea of where some of this their skill day applicable. For people way get writing skill and graphic design skills I suggest platform like fiverr, upwork, freelance.com and so on way you go fit Share your skill and even get paid.
 No skill is a waste,  the more practice we practice the more better we get, na why ee day good make we day platform way information day flow because they say information is power, and a lot of us day always day ignorant about all this things. We learn everyday just so you know. Government no send us again na to make something out of ourselves and be creative in the best way we can.

You don observe say most people when de shout say job no de for this country na this two set of people?. it's either them no get skill or them get but no wan make use of the skill.
Yeah that's true because having a skills is very important considering the nature of this country, I believe one of the ways to survive is through acquiring skills.

But one of the factors that affect people from acquiring a skills is the finance because most people are not privileged to have someone or sponsor themselves for any skills because it takes a lot of money to enroll for any training, however in as much as skills is very important but one should be very selective in times of choosing a particular skills perhaps we have different kinds of skills such as self employed skills and industrial skills, however we should always consider the possibility of easily getting a job through the skills acquired before chosen anyone, although considering how tough it is getting a job in this country the best skills to go for should be mostly the ones that are self employed so that you don't rely on anyone to employed you before you could start.

Even most of the graduate when de complain say work no de or government no gree employ them, if you look them well you go observe say them be people when no too take there studies serious or them just focus on there studies and no add a single skill to wetin them go study for school.
If you carry school serious or u no carry school serious, e dey painful after all the shege wey person don see right from primary school level, make u come finish from higher institution make u no come get job, e no really make sense now, everybody must complain. But as dis country dey now wey level of unemployment/ underemployment dey increase, e go make sense say make everybody learn skill’s even if you dey school, at least  if you graduate from school and anything no dey ground, you go fit start something with the skills that you have learnt, and you fit still continue to dey search for job if you want.

If you just born pikin for dis country, if d pikin just dey enter secondary,  make sure say you find skills wey be say him or her go dey learn, because d way thing’s dey go for dis country now, anybody wey depend on government job go see shege.

I know some persons when de very good at writing but them know no say that one too na skill when de fit use get one or two money, there own na to use am for Facebook comment section take complain about how work no de for we country.
Some people good for writing but some of them no sabi d right channel to follow to dey use am make money, for dis country everybody dey hide where dem dey get money, we no wan help each other because people go dey reason say e go cast. All dis online courses wey dey, if you see d way dem dey put big money wey dem go talk say make u pay before dey go teach u, person wey never see money chop na him go get that kin big money to pay, and u are not even sure if the person is real.

Make I even use dis forum as example, people dey dis country wey sabi about bitcoin and cryptocurrency well and some of them no get better money to invest or to dey trade, but they don’t know anything about forum. If you get account for here and u fit rank am up, u fit use am enter signature and something go dey commot, but na few people sabi about forum.

If you dey successful, no dey reason say other’s dey lazy, dey fit no get d opportunity wey u get, if some of them get similar opportunity wey u get, dey will be doing better than u, no dey reason say because person sabi write and him no dey make money with am, e no mean say d person dey useless.

E get wetin I understand for gambling and e get wetin somebody don tell me too, if you wan just leave a simple life without dey look for government to come and bring that their tribalism work just try to dey do something wey good for yourself, something wey for yourself is to be safe employed, if you learn work, like having a skill as op said it will be good then some one who don't have a work but the person dey base for government work to survive, for this our country naija we wey be citizens also be graduate we don't need to wait until government provide employment, with a little skill we can stand on our own.

Being self-employed is the best alternative to rescuing oneself from the current economic situation of the country. Waiting for the government to employ you for a job is something that cannot be guaranteed because of the tribalistic sentiment involved in the whole process of the recruitment exercise. Even the government would tell you that they can not employ everybody at the same time and in some instances, they would say there are not enough funds to pay so therefore the employment volume is limited and there is nothing you could do about it So in this case, being self-employed is the only option and to do that, one would need to go for a skill and perfect it so as to attain mastery in the craft.

You don observe say most people when de shout say job no de for this country na this two set of people?. it's either them no get skill or them get but no wan make use of the skill.
everybody de find this white collar job because na wetin dem de use rate people pass for our society nowadays. Even if person wey get hand work de see money pass white collar workers from the packaging we go still value this workers pass the person wey de do handwork.
 

Snr man I go disagree with you on this one oh! At the moment, people no really de reason if your work na white collar job or not like that oh! As a matter of fact, if you de do all these white collar job and money no gum you, people go even yarb you and them no go take you that serious.

But e get some skills when you go get when go give you mad money like this and you self fit create that white collar personality come even look sharp pass those supposed government workers.

And also know say to even get acceptance into those white collar hobs you are talking about, you need to be skilled.

If you like call it handwork, skill or whatever, it plays a lot of role in determining how successful your carrier will look like.

But e get some skills when you go get when go give you mad money like this and you self fit create that white collar personality come even look sharp pass those supposed government workers.


In addition to wetting you dey talk@Hewlet. Truck drivers like tipper, selfloader, trailer, forklift, thanker or heavy duty mechanic.
My friend wey dey do selfloader work no too sabi book, him learn 5 to 6 different machine and him dey get work steady because him get connection now. Na work dey even posure am. Him dey see money wella. him money in a day go pay white collar job man 1 month salary. Him come later sabi book by this adult school teaching. So one thing wey dey affect us as Nigerians be say if we go school e dey be like say we don arrive. And we deserve better Dan those wey no go. 

Life is all about creativity. If you check out most people wey invent wetting we dey use today, na school drup out some self no even aquire the kind educational qualification like you.   So I think school na just a place to learn how to read and write and also be creative and to communicate vividly. So make we no dey decive ourselves. Morover if you check this forum very well, you fit discover say most highly rank up member here are not really educated like the way you think. But because they can communicate through reading and writing. So creativity is the best.

Acquiring a skill is something that should even be implemented in the school curriculum from secondary school because it will be of great help to people and it will also increase lot of awareness for people about the importance of actually securing a skill in a society like ours where their is limitation in manpower and job availability so being your own boss and business owner is actually the best thing that can happen to you.

These days, the rate at which unemployment increases should be clear enough to send a signal to people, and the rate at which graduates are churned out of the university is enough to tell one to go get a skill. I stumbled upon a video in the past where a former president of the US was saying something related to this. If he, as president, could say such, then you should know that, in time, skilled people are going to take over the economy and workforce. That is why it is advised that one gets a skill—not just a skill but a skill—in line with the trend of development, which would be of good benefit and profit for them in the near future.

Currently, the economy of the nation does not warrant one to start looking for a job and staying idle. At least it would be nice and beneficial if you had a skill at hand to help you sustain yourself in the long run. So to remain relevant, it is nice to get engaged by learning a meaningful skill that you will not regret doing in the future.

If not now majority of people don't have a skill and are not ready to have one but now that the situation of the economy is not longer favorable even with your certificate people don't have a choice than to change there perception over jobs and the importance of skill if your analysis is properly done you will noticed that people with skills that have demand are doing very well compared to people that work. Sorry to say but people are deceived by the name engineer because of that name they feel they don't need a skill which is a very poor mentality because i noticed something school is not even about learning a particular skill but its about learning how to survive and making your life better. Before the completion in school you must have learned one or two things from school that should be able to sustain through and after school a word has come to us if you don't have a skill get one it will be of great help.

Well said my brother but na on the second opinion for inside this particular quote of yours I dey talk about because if you talk say people wey no get job na due to the facts say dem no too dey serious with there studies then I for drag with you well well because me I fit swear say the whole context in this country sef don turn the direct opposite of watin you talk but as for the one way you talk say na due to the fact say dem no gree get additional skill attached to their self then that one I go agree with you because the country now as e be sef na man-o-war situation when it comes to getting or securing of good government works but that one sef no cover the fact say we as Nigerians can create a work space for ourselves and become our own boss because if you have skills you go definitely surpassed the situation of no jobs because na you go become your own job and na waiting most Nigerians dey fail to understand be this.

OP, you yarn better talk for here, wetin I wan add be say make people no go dey learn one skills or the other because say their friends dey prosper in it. Skills should be learnt based on passion and personality. you take inventory of yourself first and know what works for you and what you do effortlessly, that which you do with happiness, you go ahead and learn a skill in that path and your passion will spur success as compared to what you learnt out of maybe pressure.
I agree with Watin you said about make person decide wetin e go learn make e no go copy em friend, this attitude dey very dangerous becus say your friend don already made up em mind to learn the work, then you wey copy your friend because say your friend they make money from the work, your friend wey you see say dey successfully. My advance


Quote
One thing is to learn a skill, another thing is to be keep being relevant in the field. you need to constantly upgrade yourself in the career to keep up with the competitive market. if you just learn a skill without being updated, you will become irrelevant with time. So learn a skill and keep upgrading yourself in the field and you are set for sure success.
I quite agree with you because upgrade is the most important thing

There's this important benefits we are sometimes missing out about developing a skill that could place us on future advantage, if we are working for a long period of time under White collar job, we will finally end up going back to being self employed and depends on our own work to make advanced sustainability at old age, we can also consider other benefits like being self employed, freedom, unlimited rate of earnings amd enough time for self discovery.
