Fashion designer lament about MBA programme
According to him, he recently had a conversation with his friend about self-development and career growth before reaching their 30s. While his friend, an engineering graduate, needed a master's degree for his field, he considered enrolling for an MBA to improve his business knowledge as a fashion designer.
He said:
"He, because of his line of job, he has to do Masters. Then he suggested to me that instead of me doing just Masters in the field I did my undergraduate in, that I should do an MBA. And I reasoned to it. I would be able to apply the MBA to my current business as a business owner and also a fashion designer. I’ll be able to apply whatever knowledge I gain from there. We discussed it and we finalised it that that’s what I should do."
Speaking further, the fashion designer expressed surprise at the fees, which he said, cost several millions of naira.

He said:
"School fees is in millions for MBA. Fear catch me.
Omo, since then yesterday I’ve been thinking about my life. I mean, so even to add to myself now, I have to go extra mile. So all the little-little money I’ve been saving, depriving myself to eat good food and the like—it cannot even pay for MBA... it cannot even pay for my MBA school fees."

"MBA is a big investment actually, tbh based on my experience as a biochemist, doing my MSc is mentally demanding and requires a lot of consistency. There were periods I had to juggle lectures, research work, deadlines, and still show up for my business. It can get really overwhelming, especially when both demand your full attention at the same time. Just be strategic and be prepared for a lot of pressure o… And work with what aligns with your goals….. sha don’t do MSc because it’s cheaper."
