Your citizenship really determines so much for you. As a Nigerian, your matter long ooo.
I had a Saudi classmate when I was fling my Masters. He explained to me that all Saudis in the UK were fully sponsored by the government. I asked what his plan was after school, he said he was going back home to take up a job. He didn't even like the UK. I don't blame him, he struggled with the language and culture.
I had Korean classmates (those ones are always rich and clean). No one was staying back or had plan to.
I saw Chinese classmate 2 years later. He had started a business with his babe. He told me the government encourages them to take loan to invest abroad. I thought we were just having a discussion. I didn't know he had his plan mapped out.
My Spanish friend (the only one I still talk to), I asked him when he was going to pick up his British passport since he was eligible for it having been in UK for many years, he said he didnt need it that his passport takes him where he needs to go. I spoke to him recently and he said he is looking to leave the UK soon. He wants to return home to Barcelona. That reminds me, he has been inviting me to Barcelona 🤦♂️
At the start of Covid, my Canadain flatmate packed his bag and left. He told me he would finish his program from there. I once asked how he was paying for his program (Law Undergraduate), he said he took a loan from the bank in Canada.
Then you look at Nigerians- we are always looking for how to stay back at all cost because home offers nothing. Conversation always centred around sponsorship jobs - even if it is care job. This is after working 12 hours shift through out your Masters to pay for your fees and cover for your living expenses. People are even so desperate, they are paying 10k to 12k for sponsorship job just to stay back.
A man who beats lust has defeated the most sophisticated enemy ever placed inside him, because lust was never just about desire. It was about control, distraction, keeping a man's energy scattered, his focus broken, his power bleeding out slowly without him ever knowing why. Every philosopher who ever achieved greatness guarded this obsessively. Epictetus, Marcus Aurelius, Nietzsche, they understood what most men never will: that the same energy that pulls you toward instant pleasure is the exact energy that builds empires when it is mastered. The man who cannot control what he craves in the dark will never control what he builds in the light. Discipline here is discipline everywhere.
Whenever I speak to final-year university students in Ghana, I tell them one thing:
Never leave your National Service (NSS) placement to chance.
That one year can shape your career for years to come, so be intentional about where you serve.
Don’t just wait for the government to decide your future. Reach out to companies, network with people already working there, apply early, and position yourself for opportunities that align with the career you want to build.
If you know someone still in university, send this to them.
Here are some companies in Ghana with NSS programs worth considering:
Is it possible to just start attending lectures at a random university, without admission...to study say, Computer Science, for 4 years straight just to get the skills and knowledge and network?
Information that heals 🚨
Hugh is the son of Princess Saera Targaryen, the ninth daughter of Jaehaerys Targaryen, and therefore a grandson of JaehaERys himself, former Vermithor rider.
Saera and her father Jaehaerys had a distanced relationship throughout their lives due to Saera’s rebellious nature and se*ual scandals, with Jaehaers proclaiming that she’s always been a b*tch.
Now his son, Hugh Hammer, is Vermithor's jockey, his father's ancient dragon, King Jaehaerys.
