I'll begin with a comment that "what you're good at" and "what you love" are often not the same. I think the balance is being good at what we love, or loving what we're good at.
That said, I find it quite hard to give you a clear cut advice on what to do with your life. I guess that you could work toward being a writer/author, critic/reviewer, music video/film director or a producer. But that's all it is, a guess. Your current academic qualification is so different from your passion but that isn't too bad. You could get training on any of those ventures and maybe with a lot of work and luck, you'll make it.

Thanks man.. i appreciate ur candidness ...i hv neva tried wat i love.. so i dnt knw whether i'd b gud at it

Now that you are already serving, go for job interviews relating to the course you studied. As you are doing that try to lay your hands on books that will sharpen your writing skills. Write anything even if it doesn't make sense. You can post it on nairaland, for people to help you review it. With time you will keep improving.
For being shy and introverted try to do the opposite of what you use to do when you are shy. Each time you are feeling shy, listen to yourself, because your body is telling you that something is wrong. Do the opposite of what you use to do. As you do that continously , your brain will replace those feelings with new ones.
Good luck
