As Nigerians, where exactly are we going? They told us to go to school. We went. You study a good course, graduate, then spend another two to three years looking for a job. Some people don't even have parents to fall back on. While in school, they tell you a degree isn't enough. You need a skill. Some of us started learning graphic design, video editing and website design. Then came AI, and we started learning how to integrate it into what we already knew. Next, they told us to look for scholarships and learn lucrative, sustainable skills. We applied, paid acceptance fees where required, spent money on data, sacrificed sleep and attended classes because we genuinely believed we had found an opportunity to change our lives. Now, some of those same opportunities and academies are being dragged, and the people who encouraged us to pursue them are being questioned. So what exactly are we supposed to do? You do fraud, they drag you. You do business, they drag you. You try to learn a skill, they drag the academy. You post on X with a blue tick, and suddenly everything you say is a lie because you're verified. Some of us don't have rich parents or connections to fall back on. We're just trying different things, hoping one will finally work. But every time we take a step forward, somebody makes us question whether we're on the right path. Honestly, I feel like the people who have genuinely figured out their lives are quietly doing their thing while the rest of us are trying to survive all this confusion. What exactly do we want young Nigerians to do? Where exactly are we going? Anyway, everybody go dey alright last last.
