For a Nigerian father, it is not enough that you made it to university. No, no. “Any random person can go to the university,” they’ll say. To them, it’s the course you study that matters. 

1. Medicine

This is top 2 and it’s not number 2. A Nigerian father’s ultimate dream is to say, “My child is a doctor.”

2. Law

How else will he be shouting “Barrister” wehn you’re only in 200-level.

3. Engineering

This, along with medicine and law are the holy trinity of favoured courses.

4. Accounting/Finance

You have a Nigerian father’s full attention.
