Revised be the case. How about person learn skill finish then start to dey see money, u no think say the money him dey see go make am no think going to school again after seeing people passing out from schools for years without security job? Instead them stil com back to learn the skills way u way no be graduate do acquire and already earning from it? U no go see am as waste of funds instead u use the expected school money expand your establishment instead of the school?
Meanwhile... Not be everyone way dey school dey experience financial challenges bcos most scholars dey schools bcos promises dey to back their scholars financial demands such as scholarships, parents and guardians.
Again, you no think for a scholar chasing finance while schooling go depreciate em leaning capacity due to diverts of Activities?
However, this skill acquirance as the case maybe don help some scholars during school days to my notice but not only skills but also trading and other social services.

For north here wey we de, people de value hand work pass school because some people get d mentality of saying that after school no work, some of us no de even go school at all and they end up hustling and hawking. Education here is by chance and opportunity, if you get sponsor you will go school and if you no get you will stay at home and learn hand work. As you say it is good to learn hand work get skill before going to school or after university so that it can help us get money for food before we get government work.
First don't generalize your belief to everyone in the north. Unless you want to say you guys over there don't understand the difference between skill and education. You go to school to get a professional knowledge on a particular field, there is no where it is written that it is a criteria for success or an opportunity to get a job. It all depends on you to make it a career and go forward in it. However, why on the process you seem to encounter some challenges that teaches you to stand alone as an individual and make decisions on your own. This shows that school is not only about your discipline but a full education that consist of physical knowledge, academical knowledge, moral knowledge and spiritual knowledge. If you did not have any preliminary studies will you be able to read and write fluently? Higher education is important as also learning a skill. Op is right on the track. This is because you will be of a higher advantage if you have a skill before going into the university. Depending on your skill type friends, course mate or neighbors will patronise you and it will help you earn money the right way instead of doing a lot of crazy things student do these days to make money.

Just what's going true my mind when I read the topic, normally for naija wey we dey no be all graduate dey work and 90% of graduate no dey use there school certificate rather na handwork or skill. And now because of all this things the young ones dey get the wrong impression say school na scam, and when I ask why many reasons dey, some go say to go school now na with big money and other reasons but there's nothing like school na scam, just because you're a graduate and you've not seen a job yet but rather you dey feed from handwork or skill that doesn't mean school na scam. Nowadays even business men and women, people who make shoes, bags, wigs, dress, data management etc, sometimes advertising of brands are necessary and making speech about your product or business, so this kind of example don show say e good to go school.

Op I like wattin you talk for this hand work matter, e dey very good for person to sabi hand work wey fit dey give am small small thing when em dey school, so that em fit dey use that one take dey manage emself before hunger use am run ground. But if every body learn hand work finish who dem go use or who dem no go use, so I leave this for only those wey like to learn, if person no wan learn no be still bad thing the only time wey e go turn bad thing na when the person no get anywhere wey money dey come from and e refuse to learn, that one na just hunger trouble naim the person dey fine. As you see me so outside this forum na electrician and plumber naim I be, and e don tay wey I get this hand work, naim I take dey survive and even when I enter school naim still me do so many things, so I no fit play with my hand work, but the issue nowadays na be say to even see work do don dey hard e no be like before wey two customers go dey call the same time, na plenty people don dey use solar for their things and those wey dey repair generator nor dey too get work like before again everywhere hard, but this one no affect does wey dey barb hair oo.

This matter wey you bring so, e sweet my belly before person soppos w enter higher istitution person sopos don leran one or two so that as you dey enter school e no go affect you financially. But the thing depends on the type of handwork you learn o. Because e get some handwork you learn, you no ft dey use am for higher institution. Because school activities no go even allow you to dey do am .just like person wey learn mechanic or even driving of truck wey go dey make you dey travel leave school premises. Except say na barging or computer operator wey you fit open close to school, and you go dey do typing and photocopying or dey attached to a barbing saloon. But anyways some people wey no get skills when dem enter school dem learn before them dey come back. Na who no dey serious naim no go learn or who no get the zeal.

Normally you no suppose regret any move you don already take because this life already Dey predestined but nevertheless, no time really Dey late for anyone wey know wetin him wan achieve but at a time, e get one thing wey I believe say, wetin work for mr A fit no work for Mr B and what I’m saying in essence is that, we should take life easy and not force things to place but we should always try to do the right thing at the right time.

My country pipo e go really make sense if you wey they seek for admission into the university learn at least skill wey fit fetch you income the reason why some of us find am hard in school na because we no learn handwork (skill) so the thing come become very difficult to even concentrate properly some days wey nothing day no food no money to go class go worry you and all this things really dey discourage somebody well well, those wey learn handwork before gaining admission into the university no really face much difficulty because them get service to render in exchange for cash aside ur schooling e dey very important to learn handwork before u enter school because that time your brain still dey young and not much responsibility to think of unlike when you finish school to come learn some settings kind of handwork that time go dey very very hard because you done dey think about your responsibility at hand and that time u fit no get chance unlike now wey you still dey mama and papa house this na my own experience and my regret.
