hi,i saw ur post, of course it`s true u can easily get a job but atleast u know in nigeria ,we value that B.Sc more than anything, what if tomorrow u aspire to be the President of Nigeria .the question the world would first ask u is that which university did u attend, hope u remember SALISU BUHARI it's ok u are going into I.T that's a very good decision but i would also advice u , atleast start either a university or polytechnic part-time course, wen u're through with the part-time course, ur certificate will not bear B.sc part-time but B.sc, i don't know how can combine the two together but it's the best u can ever do, i'm a 200 level Computer Science undergraduate,
check my school at www.lautech.edu.ng, For further advice my mail is seun2talk@yahoo.com or u can also call 07030289454 anytime u`re welcome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i agreed with you, u need that B.SC here in nigeria. why don't you go for university of abuja part time programme since u reside in abuja. their part time programme used to be garki, area 3 very close to the old nitel office. i know it used to be very expensive five years ago when i was running a full time programme at the campus(gwagwalada) but it's better, u can make enquiry.

u can still run your father's business and at the same time go for your studies.
You can get a P.C and do some practicals.

best of luckkkkkkkkkkkk

i do apreciate all the replys,but seriuosly i want to ask if anybody in here knws wht it means to wake up everyday at 5:30.mondayz to saturdayz,stay focused 24/7,go to IT lessons in the evenings and still attend part time lectures EVERY WEEKENDS,DAMN!Never believed life could be so demanding.
stilll i'll give the part time stuff a try,but the last time i checked it it was too expensive for an average nigerian,u knw how it is, not really that well financially,but i am wondering if anybody in here have a clue how i can combine the three stuffs together only me.now i can feel the pain of beign an only son,very hard to manage.IDEAS ARE WELCOME.PEACE
