A Nigerian man, @official_gegeh on TikTok, has shared why he thinks learning a skill and going to school (acquiring formal education) are not as important as people think they are.

According to him, he believes that both learning a skill and attending school are forms of education and should be valued equally. However, he emphasized the importance of developing a business mindset.

@official_gegeh expressed his belief that regardless of whether one pursues formal education or learns a skill, acquiring a business education is essential for achieving success in any field. To illustrate his point, he referred to a scenario where an individual spent four years learning fashion design but failed in their business due to a lack of business knowledge. He further highlighted the plight of Nigerian graduates who are unable to secure jobs because they lack the entrepreneurial mindset required to show off and market their academic qualifications.

In summary, @official_gegeh asserted that cultivating a business mindset is crucial for success, regardless of whether one is a graduate with a formal education or an individual with acquired skills.
