The Ugly truth about being an undergraduate in Nigeria.
Jan 20, 2024 5:31 pm
There used to be a time when being a graduate was enough in Nigeria.
Students didn't need to possess any skill outside their course of study. They didn't need to have a side hustle.
They didn't need to be conscripted into entrepreneurship against their wills.
Your certificate was enough to earn you a decent living.
Never knew times like this existed until today when I was reading through the pages of "There was a country" authored by Chinua Achebe.
I bet you didn't knew times like this once existed too. Nigeria used to be a great country.
Chinua Achebe mentioned that he was once offered a job & his employees suggested that he was interviewed at his preferred location.
"After graduation I did not have to worry about where I would go next. The system was so well organized that as we left university most of us were instantly absorbed into civil service, academia, business or industry"
This was a sentence lifted from his book.
Now I understand why our parents wanted us to succeed at school. Certificate was once the ticket out of poverty.
But not anymore.
Today, graduates can't even get jobs. Not to talk of a high paying jobs.
Graduates nowadays have to be more than just graduates.
It's quite sad. And unfortunately, there's nothing we can do about the situation.
That's why despite pursuing academics excellence. I don't joke with my online business.
If you're like me, who is trying to bag a degree & at the same time, build an online empire.
Then, I have something important for you.
Last week Wednesday, I started a Six-weeks intensive training for marketers on how to build a brand & make sales consistently on TikTok.
So far, we've covered the following:
Profile revamp: Setting up your TikTok page & writing a bio like an authority in your niche.
Building an Identity: Generating content ideas using your backstory, achievements & mistakes. This is how you generate endless content ideas without doing too much.
The class continues today. However, it's not too late to be part of us.
Going forward, we hope to cover the following:
- How to generate endless videos Ideas as a TikTok creator.
- How to grow your TikTok page from 0 - 20K followers in 6 weeks.
- How to go viral on TikTok without doing anything stupid.
- How to generate sales everyday for your offers using TikTok.
- How to build a page on TikTok without showing your face.
Very soon, I hope to make this intensive training an online course. That time, expect it to cost not less than 30,000 naira
But right now, with just 9,900 naira... You can learn how to convert your TikTok into a sales machine.
