@AskMichaelTaiwo Truth is: even if you have some socratic level prompting skills to make AI co-pilot your writing, there are some levels that only you as a pilot can unlock. AI either robs the soul off your message or takes some time to achieve the human authenticity you want to portray.

@misty_abisola Congratulations on the Erasmus MARIHE. The closest to the win you were expecting. 52 applications is real motion, and it’s a confidence booster that after all the efforts, you were this close to that perfect win. And all it takes is just one big win fr to counter the rejections.

Please read this genuinely. It is long, but I promise you it will be the best 5 minute read of your day today.

This hits differently when you come from a humble background. Not everyone starts with access to rooms like these. We can't all grow up in circles where building unicorns or running banks is just "what people do."

But here's where education becomes the great equalizer. In schools, you have access to a wide pool of individuals from several walks of life, several backgrounds, and diverse skills. They are the connection that we can build along the way that could someday grant us access. Although school, when done well, can get you real close to those rooms and sometimes, even put you in them.

Take a look at a Master's degree abroad. For example, it is not just about the certificate. It is buying yourself a ticket into rooms you'd never naturally access. Think about what happens when you study at a top program overseas:

Your classmates are future CEOs, founders, and policymakers. Your professors are advisors to Fortune 500 companies. Your network expands from your neighbourhood to the global stage.

You see firsthand how deals get done, how billion-dollar ideas are validated, how successful people actually think, and operate. You stop seeing success as luck and start seeing it as a system you can learn.

The exposure changes your reference point totally.

Suddenly, starting a company isn't some lofty dream. It's what your seat partner's sister did. Working at apple is something your flatmate does every summer. Interning at World Bank is a piece of cake for the Pakistani in your classroom.
Raising funding isn't mysterious. It's what your professor walked you through during office hours. Moving across borders for opportunities isn't scary. It's what everyone around you is preparing to do.

But here's the key: exposure alone isn't enough.
You have to be intentional. Attend those networking events even when you're tired. Build meaningful connections on social media, and there are mutuals on here that can take you from zero to 100 real quick. Build genuine connection with that classmate whose parents run a firm. Ask questions. Observe. Absorb. Build genuine relationships.

Education abroad can be the bridge from humble beginnings to extraordinary outcomes, but only if you milk every drop of exposure it offers.

Get into the room. Then make sure something rubs off on you. You know the funny thing. It can all begin right here on Twitter. I have experienced it, you can too.

Events are meant to be memorable, have better ROI, better logistics.

We are coming to change the way events are done

Career Things You’ll Regret Not Starting Early

• Learning one valuable skill deeply
• Building a portfolio, not just a résumé
• Asking better questions
• Changing direction sooner
• Networking without needing something
• Working for learning, not just pay
• Creating instead of only consuming

Careers compound quietly.

The craziest thing about spending hours daily watching brain rot content on instagram or TikTok rather than reading a book or watching a movie, is that despite wasting all those watch hours, you end up not remembering anything you watched because they’re all short-form content.

[Chisom Agbafor @ChisomAgbafor]

I don’t think people understand how lonely it is to be ambitious when nothing is working yet.

You’re not successful enough to be respected. Not struggling enough to be pitied.

Just stuck with your thoughts.

The major reason why many Nigerians NEVER get USD / international remote jobs is because their resumes are only optimized for local hiring.

If your goal is to get an international job in 2026,

Here’s what you’re doing wrong and how to fix it:

1. Location Mistakes

❌ Lagos, Nigeria

If you put your location this way, global recruiters might instantly assume timezone + relocation issues.

✅ Write your location as Remote (GMT + 1) or Remote (UTC + 1)

2. Local Terms that Global Recruiters Don’t Understand

❌ NYSC, HND, BSc (Ed), SIWES, NEPA, LGA, etc.

Most foreign recruiters don’t Google acronyms. They skip.

✅ Translate your acronyms or remove them:

• NYSC → National Service (1-year full-time work placement)

• HND → Higher National Diploma (Technical Degree)

And so on.

3. Duty-based Experience (local style)

❌ Responsible for managing social media

That’s local hiring language.

✅ Use results + metrics:

Grew Twitter account from 3k → 18k followers in 6 months, driving 40% increase in inbound leads.

4. Education Placed Above Experience

Local recruiters care about this, but global recruiters don’t.

✅ Lead with skills & results, not school.

Education goes after experience unless you’re entry-level with no tangible / real experience.

5. No Global Context

❌ Salary in naira
❌ Tools common only in Nigeria
❌ No timezone or async experience mentioned

✅ Highlight:
• Remote collaboration
• International clients
• Tools used globally (Slack, Notion, Jira, GitHub, etc.)

Bottom line:

Global recruiters scan fast.

If they don’t understand your CV in 10 seconds, you’re out.

I’m Chioma Amadi, and I teach you how to restructure your resume for USD-paying remote roles.

People are overlooking the patience, intelligence, and originality it takes to be relevant in different niches. For you @john322226 , content na water. You drop banger tweets with ease, while others might burn out trying to replicate it. So, the virality comes with 10x the work.

[lobistars🇳🇬 @john322226]

Yes! And some people will be asking me why I’m getting a lot of impressions.

I’m getting A lot of impressions because I built my account with different niche and different audience.

All the impressions you’re seeing are from different countries and different niche.

[GehGeh @official_Gegeh]

Ages 25–30 are hard for a man because reality hits. You start seeing patterns you ignored before, bad habits, weak choices, wasted time. You realize some of your pain isn’t bad luck, it’s repeated mistakes. That awareness is heavy, but it’s also the beginning of real growth.

This is the phase where excuses stop working. You start cutting off distractions, questioning friendships, and taking responsibility for where you are. Breaking cycles isn’t easy, it feels lonely, slow, and uncomfortable. But every small change you make builds self-respect. You stop living on autopilot and start moving with intention.

These years are not meant to be easy, they’re meant to shape you. The man you become in this window decides the rest of your life. Stay disciplined, stay patient, and keep choosing better even when no one is watching. If you can survive this season, you’ll enter your thirties stronger, clearer, and far ahead of the men who never woke up.

[Oluwatimileyin✨🦋 @Timmysofine]

Thank you very much for this doc! Permit me to chip in a few thoughts of mine.

Degrees alone won’t create opportunities for you. Alignment will. You can study all of these courses and still not be employable; you might not even know what you're doing.

It’s not just about what you study. It’s about how you position yourself while studying it.
Skills, internships, volunteering, research, networking, certifications, real-world exposure… that’s where the difference is made.

You can study Health Sciences and still be employable in policy, tech, data, research, or consulting.
You can study Tech and still struggle if you don’t build practical experience.

So yes, choose wisely just like doc has advised, but more importantly, build intentionally.

What you study + how you position yourself = your real advantage.

No matter your age, you'll always wish you started younger, but today is the youngest you'll ever be. So start today.
