ARTICLE:MY NIGERIAN CERTIFICATE(Must Read)

IF YOU WERE GIVEN #500mil FOR YOUR CERTIFICATE, WILL YOU EXCHANGE IT ??

This was the topic of the conversation I got myself into last night, and without hesitation, I said YES. I mean what other opportunity do you need to make it in life if you reject an offer like that.
Taking a critical look at it; After spending 5years studying in the university, there is no guarantee that I will make that amount with my certificate in 25years.

Really???,  Yes Really!.
Let's say you earn 120k for 12months, that's 49mil in 35years plus promotion and bonuses say 30mil, total is 79mil. Now tell me you won't burn that paper😀 for 500mil.

I'm not trying to say school or education is bad, but CERTIFICATE IS OVERRATED in Nigeria.

Let's say you see a good company and you earn 480k per month, that's still 201.6mil in 35years plus promotion and bonuses say 250mil in 35years.

I want to believe you are seeing where I'm going.
With my very little experience in entrepreneurship, I know 150mil will run 10 very good ideas that will generate multi billions. That's been generous.

Let's even say you earn 1mil per month and for 35years, its 480mil. Screw that, I might burn the school self 😃.

My point is, you are in school for knowledge and not certificate and it's because of the knowledge I know 500mil worth more than a certificate.
That little idea you have might cost just 2mil and generate over 70mil to say the least.

I really want people to break out of the conventional mindset of : go to school - get a certificate - get a job - get paid ------> die.
Dare to think out of the box, dare to be outstanding, try that thing that looks risky and watch yourself boom.

I'm not saying everybody will get 500mil, but I believe you can scale yours down and work towards getting that 5mil that will make your idea sky-rocket and put you in a new tax bracket 😃.
Definitely it won't be easy, but trust me, it's worth it.

Some might think, why go to school then.
So far, school is the best place to get knowledge, network, like-mind, and connections all at the same time. You see them everyday, but might not recognize it.

If I were given 50mil, I would gladly exchange my certificate. I mean Naira. 50mill Naira.

There are people who did so for much less. Some even exchanged certificate for nothing and made it to the top. Ask Bill Gates and he'll tell you more about it.

I would have loved to say more but lemme stop. **Think about it **
