School is not a scam.
Lack of strategy is.

Many Nigerian students work hard in school,
but without a clear career strategy.

As a result, they:

Focus only on coursework
Graduate without proof of skill
Struggle to find direction afterward

Olodo Uprising is a sad reality in Nigeria, and it feeds off the "School Na Scam" narrative. I built https://t.co/JJY6oGOCNO to help Nigerian undergrads build business skills and alumni networks while still in school. With enough intellectual voices, we can reclaim our media.

@davidjaja77 @winexviv Thank you. The platform is completed and deployed and has gotten some users. The marketing, and reaching the target audience has been the toughest part, but I keep pushing each day.

@ZebraBags @ridark_eth This is usually the narrative sold. However think about our reliance on maps. Many of us can no longer get from point A to point B without pulling out our gps. The moment your device dies, you are lost. Our brains rarely remember routes now.

@elonmusk Congratulations @elonmusk now send some bucks!!!

@KimKatieUSA Many Nigerians will lock the door and then try the handles again just to double check. Hilarious, but we trust no keys or automations 🤷‍♀️. Gives you double peace of mind at the end of the day.

Recruiters don’t see effort.

They see:
•projects
•portfolios
•consistency

If those signals are missing…
what do you think they assume?

[Elo @Elo_ze]

Be honest…

have you ever:

•started learning something
•stopped halfway
•moved to something else

and now you can’t even point to one solid thing you’ve built?

[Elo @Elo_ze]

Nigerian students are not doing nothing…

but they’re also not building anything that compounds into a career path

Their pattern is like:
try something → stop → try another thing → move on

no structure, no continuity

[Elo @Elo_ze]

I analyzed 10 Nigerian student LinkedIn profiles trying to get into tech.

What I found was confusing:

Internships… but no projects
Effort… but nothing visible

How does that even happen?

[Elo @Elo_ze]

Two students. Same department.

One is building projects, sharing their work, applying early
The other is just attending lectures

You already know who gets ignored after graduation.

[Elo @Elo_ze]

You can spend 4 years in school
and still feel lost after graduation

not because you’re not smart…

but because you never did anything beyond attending classes

[Elo @Elo_ze]

Everyone says “opportunities are scarce”

but let me ask you:
what signals are you sending right now?

Projects?
Proof of skill?
Anything visible?
