What has Nigeria done for me? RT

A funny question I always hear from people especially #Mentees. Today, let me clarify somethings setting myself as an example.

1. Nigeria gave me the cheapest education I have accessed at the tertiary level.
I can only imagine being in the same class with people who attended prime institutions whose tuition for a year can pay the tuition of 10-20 kids like me in Nigeria.
We all had similar chances,

what did you do with yours? While I agree that the standards are different, did you accept the "School an Scam" gospel or work hard to make sure the struggle counts?

As for me, I made it count and had a 4.76 bachelors and a 5.0 Masters all from #FUTO. I am now global!!!

2. Nigeria Made me struggle into my opportunities.
I saw an opportunity in every struggle. After all the grades, I struggled for 4 years(post-bachelors) before I got a job. While waiting, the pains lead to the creation of the @FclNetwork and Built my capacity to compete for

foreign education. While I waited, I published more than 20 local scientific pubs, built my research skills, constantly applied for several scholarships & here I am @RutgersU- The best campus I can call home!
What are you doing post-graduation?Blaming the country? or blaming you?

3. Nigeria Gave me my Parents, My siblings, my Friends,and my Beloved wife @Miz_Stephany (My No 1 fan).

Who can beat that? All my Life have been Nigerian! childhood in Jos, Sec Sch in Ondo state, tertiary ed. in the East.
Are you grateful for what you have? do you deserve more?

4. Nigeria Taught me Not to look up to my leaders.
I finally realized that I was my own Nigeria. Provided my power, Security, good road, water, food, shelter, medics, etc.

If I did well when I was my own government, I can survive anywhere. so, Nigeria got me prepared.

5. Nigeria taught me politics.
I later realized that Nigerian systems are highly politicized. The only challenge was that "There was limited space for Excellence"
Now I understand that in a world where everyone is excellent in what they do, The political skills I learned matter.

6. Your dreams are Valid!!!
As you struggle, keep your dreams alive
be focused!
Nigeria only made you stronger!
Don't be limited by the system
"Google to show yourself approved-Brainburster 1:1"

Let's become "the Nigeria" we create.

Have a nice day guys.

Nigeria also taught me to value family, friendship, mentorship, and Life...

I cherish every moment I survived!!!!!!
