One thing I’ll always tell any Nigerian: if you can, go to school.
Not just for the certificate, but for the exposure, the knowledge, and most importantly, the connections.
Till today, my closest friends are people I started life with in university. After school, it’s harder to build that kind of genuine bond. Most relationships become business or value-based.
University gave me opportunities and information I honestly don’t think I would’ve accessed otherwise.
That said, this isn’t to mock anyone who didn’t or can’t go. There are many paths to success.
But education is one powerful path, and it’s worth considering.
