Solid Minerals Development Minister, Dr. Kayode Fayemi, had claimed his early life wasn't as easy as he now looks, while charging on graduates to stop wailing on government and others for their life' challenges.

The former Ekiti State Governor recounted these today during the 2016 convocation lecture of the University of Lagos (UNILAG) held at the J. F. Ade Ajayi Auditorium.

He said neither government nor the citizens owe them anything, saying they must work hard to achieve success while guest-speaking for the lecture themed: “Building a successor-generation: Reflections on values and knowledge in nation building.”

He said: “Quit whining – no one owes you anything. The earlier we realise that no one owes us anything, the better for us and the more prepared we would be to face life’s challenges. Don’t think you are entitled to a job, just because of your parents’ influence or what they have or your good grades. The only guarantee you have in this life is what you do for yourself with the grace God has bestowed on us all.

“You have to be prepared to bend backwards and do what you might consider to be beneath you, because of the bigger picture. As a UNILAG graduate and a postgraduate student at the United Kingdom, I have also driven taxis and worked as a security guard, amongst several other menial jobs I did in the past to survive.”
