As a young Nigerian, it is imperative you understand what I am about to reveal to you if you ever want to build a successful life in this country.
First, the principles of work and success has witnessed a drastic change and evolution. This is something you just have to reconcile yourself with and adjust your dealings with the trend to make a life out of the land.
It will be wrong to build your plans like your parents did. Go to school, get a certificate, graduate, submit your CV, go for an interview, gain employment, be promoted, retire, and relax.
This was the order of success in the decades before now. But the reality now is beyond such plans. The real deal is no longer result or certificate (as much as that is important), it is beyond the paper.
The rule of engagement in the land is captured around VALUE and SOLUTION...
Remember, before now, the only thing you needed to survive was a certificate. If you carry that mindset in this generation, you will truly be scammed by school.
The question, every employer or business partner wants to know is WHAT VALUE CAN THAT CERTIFICATE BRING? If you fail to answer that question properly, you will go nowhere.
Don't just accept what I am sharing with you. Think and look around you, is it not obvious how people lead successful lives outside school dealings?
The same people you tag as dull, unserious, failure and every ridiculous names you can think of end up building successful businesses, and corporations.
As a young Nigerian, you have to decide within you that there is more to the rule of success which has gone beyond certificate in this generation. The earlier you realize this, the better for you.
Stop wishing and assuming that there is a good life after campus. The only promised good life is the one you build yourself and it has to start now.
As a young Nigerian, it will be unfortunate for you to pay deaf ears to digital skills other profitable skills that will make you good money and lifestyle.
