How some of y'all look when you say I'm passionate about ROBOTICS in NIGERIA.
Great talent, wrong location!
And before you say, "Well it is possible that she can make it...."
The question is what is the probability?
You don't want to play a low probability game with your life yunno?
Every skill has a location leverage factor.
Some cities give you amplification, others drain your energy.
It's not enough to be greatly skilled, you must also be greatly positioned.
Ask yourself, what is the 'silicon valley' equivalent of your field?
Find where the opportunities in your field are concentrated, and go and plant yourself close, or at least, plan to.
If you’re a fish, don’t live in the desert.
Don't mention👍

Well, so technically, I'm not so inclined to the 'course of study'; racism , I'm jsut saying, if you study here, and perhaps the opportunities are not concentrated in this region, within your 4 years, don't just study.....investigate pathways that can land you in the geopgraphical spaces of advantage...
Your four years in that university, especially if it's in a region of disadvantage, is a 4 year incubation period to build a catapult that will launch you into a space of advantage.
So while your mates are studying to pass, you are studying to POSITION.
I'll give you a game plan
Year 1: The Diagnosis and The Destination.
You ask yourself, "Where am I?" (Geographic disadvantage). Then you ask, "Where is the honey pot? Where are the opportunities concentrated?" You identify the fellowships: the Mandela Washingtons, the Chevenings, the Knight-Hennessys. You identify the global companies. That's your destination. You write it down.
Year 2 & 3: Building your portfolio of Intent
This is where the real work begins. You look at the requirements for those elite fellowships and scholarships. What do they want?
"Leadership potential?"
"Community impact?"
"A track record of service?"
Aha! So you design your activities to build this exact profile. While your mates are going for parties, you are going for ENACTUS meetings. While they are sleeping, you are organizing a community sanitation project. You set a goal: "I will lead or participate in 50 high-impact voluntary projects before I graduate."
Your mates will look at you and say, "Why is this one stressing himself? All this for free?" They won't understand. They can't. They are playing checkers, you are playing chess, remember? You are building what I call a Portfolio of Intent. Every project is a deliberate brick in the palace of your future.
Year 4: The Application Weapon.
Now, it's final year. The applications are open. Your mates are struggling to write a compelling story. They have a good CGPA and nothing else.
But you? You pull out your carefully curated Portfolio of Intent.
Project Lead, 'Clean Water for Umuahia' - impacted 5,000 lives.
Founder, 'Code for Kids' campus club - taught 200 children basic programming.
Volunteer Coordinator, National Food Drive - distributed 10,000 meals.
You line up 50 of these. Your application is no longer an application; it's a weapon. It's an irresistible force. The selection committee doesn't have a choice. Your profile is not just good; it's tailormade. It's what they were looking for.
This is why school mates are not life mates. One is thinking about the next semester's result; you are thinking four years ahead. You are making moves on a board they don't even know they are on.
The whole game is INTENTIONALITY. It's about designing the optimal path for your life and then executing with ruthless discipline.
So stop seeing school as just a place to get a degree. See it as your 4 year, fully funded strategic base to build the vehicle that takes you to your destiny.
Design the game plan of your life. And play it like chess.
Pheeew....I really owe university students a bootcamp.
Let me know if it was helpful. Or better still, share this with your everyone you know still in university. It may be what changes the trajectory of someones life.

A new week with 6 billion people moving to and fro, and a large fraction of people don't even know why.
This week, stop and ask yourself one of the most important questions you can ever ask yourself.
"Wwwwhhhhhhhhhyyyyyyy" (Hear this in my voice)
Why do you want to travel out?
Why do you want to get another degree?
Why are you still in that job?
Why can't you pivot to something else?
Why are you renewing your rent in that 'useless' neighborhood?
Why are you still in that relationship?
Why are you at all the parties every weekend?
Of what use are you alive if you don't know why?
A man alive without the knowledge of 'why' is not different from a dead man.
Time is counting, is your life doing the same?

How I earned 50KamaZillion dollars !!!
Clears throat, puts on a metaphorical blazer, and adjusts the microphone.
Listen.
Let's be brutally honest with ourselves for a minute.
You've seen the gospel being preached on the timelines: "Learn UI/UX, learn copywriting, learn AI in 2025, and earn 50 KamaZillion dollars every 2 seconds!"
It's a seductive promise. So you buy the course. You burn the midnight oil. You learn the skill. You are now a certified, bonafide, Grade A specialist. Congratulations.
But then... silence. Crickets.
Because here is the raw, unfiltered truth they conveniently left out of the shiny sales page: Learning the skill is the easy part.
The real 'work', the main koko, is not in mastering the craft. It's in mastering the market. (Read that again).
It's in understanding how to locate the people, the businesses, and the problems that require your skill and are willing to pay top dollar for it. It's about finding the DEMAND.
Now, I could break down the science of client acquisition in a masterclass that would rewire your entire financial destiny. (And yes, I will sell course o... at least not today. Unless you have my 10 KamaZillion ready, which, let's be fair, is pocket change compared to the value I'd deliver. You know the vibes.)
But let's focus on the tragedy I see every day.
The old world was simple: Company has a problem (demand), they post a job, you apply. A clear Hub of Demand.
The new world, the freelance and remote tech space, has flipped the script in the most dangerous way.
What you have now are not hubs of demand, but HUBS OF SUPPLY.
Think about it. Your portfolio website, your Upwork profile, your Fiverr gig... what are they? They are platforms where you and a million other talented people line up, display your wares, and scream, "I'm great! Look at my skills! Pick me! Please, pick me!"
You've been herded into a giant digital marketplace where everyone is a seller. You upload your life's work and you... HOPE.
Sasdly, hope is not a business strategy.
You are playing in a Hub of Supply, praying for a stray buyer to notice you. It's a game of chance, a race to the bottom on price, and a drain on your soul.
Your focus is wrong. The question is not "How can I showcase my skill better?"
The real question, the one that holds the keys to the kingdom, is this:
"Where are the HUBS OF DEMAND for my skill?"
Where are the conversations happening? Where are the problems being lamented? Where are the people with money and a desperate need, who aren't leisurely scrolling through a freelancer platform?
They are not looking for a "supplier." They are looking for a "saviour."
I won't answer that question for you, I will give you an assignment
