A student posted on a group on Facebook that he is willing to drop out of school for blogging and I had to pile up some of the important comments under the post for you to read:
Hmmmm.
Its a choice, dropping out or not dropping out, that doesn’t mean you can’t become successful.
A lot of folks thought are: if you don’t go to university and get certificate, you are useless. They are brainwash with 1990’s mindset.

In this century, going to the university to get certificate is for those who are looking for high paying job, bcus the university will never teach you how to make money.
Becoming a successful individual don’t require certificate nor university blah blah rubbish.
Perhaps, certificate has nothing to do with education, you can be a graduate and still not educated.
Everything on earth has an advantage and disadvantages.
The university is a great place for connection, because you will meet hundreds of people each day (especially in federal schools).

I will advise you not to drop out, instead of dropping out, forget about the certificate, and looking for opportunities on how you can build your business while in school, there are business minded like you in school, connect with them, use the school as hub of publicity for your business.
I was like you, having the mindset to drop out because I realized school is putting me far away from my dream, but now I am enjoy every opportunity the school have, I use free sch WiFi which deduct the cost of data, etc.
Don’t drop out, just prioritize your business over the school certificate, but also work on CGPA, make sure you try not to have carryover.
The decision is yours.
Drop out or not dropping out, that doesn’t mean you can’t become successful.
Sometimes it’s not just about the certificate,

The kind exposure, knowledge and wisdom school has brought to me is far beyond what I can be Google searching. School has taught me how to cope and survive real life situation even in hard times.
Forget this eyinbos that drop out and later become successful. Nigeria lawa. Check all our big bloggers you will hear something like I started blogging after NYSC when I can’t find job, some during their higher education but they never drop out.
Assuming you’ve not started yet, fine. But dropping out is not part of the option.
Time no dey in school,
You just have to squeeze it noni.
It’s your choice.
Moreover, you mustn’t be in a classroom before you can be educated. You mustn’t go to school before you can be successful.
Identify your passion and look out for the tools you need to achieving your dreams.

Mark Zuckerberg dropped out from school to chase his dreams and today he’s fine… Identify your call if it demands going to a formal school, fine.
If not, get the skill then later you get the papers.
Nowadays, it is skill that is bringing food to the table and not necessarily papers.
Thanks
If u went to school in other to get a well paid job at the end then u don’t have a good reason for going. The essence of education is to teach, expose and show you how to make money not to give you money.
Education has exposed us to the internet if not we would be ignorant of even this blogging, how do you expect to blog when you don’t know or understand english and targetting tier 1 countries? Education is lit my brother.
Meke una leave dis guy meke he follow his Heart ..
Which one be boldness to enter places, when you no get money you go succumb, de boldness na rubbish.
