This is what schooling in a 21st century Nigerian university actually looks like.
Broken in some places, alive in others.
A degree at the end of it either way.
The question is what you decide to do with the space in between.

What schooling in 21st century Nigerian universities actually looks like…

[The Luminary Foundation @tlfeglobal]

And where the university falls short, students are showing up for each other.
Clubs, communities, initiatives, all built by students filling gaps the system left open.
That's not a small thing.

[The Luminary Foundation @tlfeglobal]

Nobody is too sharp to ask for help.
In Nigerian universities especially, we wear struggle like a badge of honour. It is not.
Your coursemates, your seniors, your lecturers are all resources.
Ask the question. Send the message. Knock on the door.

5 things no one tells a Jambite.

[The Luminary Foundation @tlfeglobal]

5. Your network is a course nobody will register you for.
Mentors, senior colleagues, professionals in your field.
Build relationships outside your faculty.
In Nigeria, who knows you matters just as much as what you know.

What’s one thing you wish someone told you before you entered the university?

[The Luminary Foundation @tlfeglobal]

Congratulations, Luminaries.
You showed up. You came through. You did it.

[The Luminary Foundation @tlfeglobal]

The graduates winning are not just the ones with the best CGPA.
They are the ones who noticed the gap between what school taught them and what the world needed, and decided to fill it themselves.
That decision is available to you too.
The question is when you will make it.

[The Luminary Foundation @tlfeglobal]

Jobs your degree prepared you for vs. jobs that actually matter.

[The Luminary Foundation @tlfeglobal]

The graduates winning right now are not abandoning their degrees.
They are supplementing them.
Combining the credibility of their education with skills the market actually needs.
That is the move universities should be teaching but aren't.
