Hmm..where do I begin?

This is more of a testimony than a story. But somehow, I hope it encourages someone out there.

It's December. The end of the year 2022.

I cannot help but look back with gratitude in my heart. Iremember when I was planning, praying and working for everything I have now. I never even thought I would get here, I just believed for it.

It all started in 2020, Canada express entry was a huge rave and every professional seemed to be preparing to Japa to Canada. I just started working the previous year, straight out of NYSC, and had barely even started my career. I knew I wanted to relocate out of Nigeria but I didn't know how.

Right from when I was in undergrad, I always nursed the ambition to pursue a masters abroad. However, I never knew how to go about it. To make matters "worse", I graduated with a 2.2, so technically I was out of the scholarship range. Every scholarship requirement had the, " Must have a first class or 2.1 and exhibit great leadership qualities" bla la blue�

I just gave up abeg. Next thing I blinked and almost 5 years was gone.

Anyways, back to the story.

So, I was working but still continued to nurse that ambition to travel abroad.

Canada was on my mind because it sounded like the perfect way to go. However, I didn't have a masters and everytime I checked my crs score, omo, it was not encouraging. Next thing, the pandemic hit and the world was on lockdown.

2020 was one of the most depressing year in my life. I was working from home, working a job I didnt enjoy. A job I wasn't well compensated or appreciated for despite my efforts. I was working from mainland to island 5 days a week, I will leave before dawn and return at dusk. Lagos traffic showed me shege�

I was already loosing it before the pandemic struck and I started working remotely.

You know that feeling of being stuck? When you're just working for the pay and nothing else. That was my life.

Oh well, my mum started encouraging me to find "scholarship opportunities" to study abroad. At that point I was like, It's really time to get serious about this. I am emotionally downcast at this point.

I want to pause and say that information is power. Knowledge is key. What you don't know, you don't know. But if you want to know, you will know!

Back to my story.

In 2020, I made the decision to start working towards my study abroad plans. I stumbled upon some amazing Nigerians on twitter who were studying abroad- US, Canada, Europe. I started following them all, I started researching, watching youtube videos, I was soaking up all the free information online.

One particular tweet opened my eyes to the possibilities of studying abroad and that activated a fire in me, and gave me the confidence to pursue my dreams.

A particular lady on twitter, Ann on Demand, once said that despite finishing from school with a 2.2 she was able to further her studies in the US, fully funded and now a professor teaching in a school in the States.

I started gathering all the information I needed, researching schools and their requirements. I already knew the program I wanted to pursue which was in line with my career, and I started actively following all the japa/study abroad gang on twitter. The way I used to unwrap, unroll and dissect threads then ehn. I left no stone unturned seeking for relevant knowledge. I had a notebook for schools, deadlines, requirements, checklists. True true, if you don't read or like googling things, a lot of information will be hidden to you.

Towards the end of 2020, I had most of the information I needed, and I knew I was ready to set the ball rolling. I took my first step..

To be Continued soon.�

Great mini-autobiography already.
Can't wait for the next update!

You're never too old to learn.
Morgan Freeman had a dream to become a pilot but he couldn't get into pilot school when he was young.
Guess what,


After he became famous at almost 60, he enrolled and got admitted into an aviation school.
He graduated and he is now a qualified pilot.

Woah

atinga1:
Too many stories that touch in Nairaland these days.

And you believe these stories are real??

othermen:
Age is not always an evidence of maturity. Don’t be too bothered about such. If you find the boy offensive, avoid encounters with him. Same with the girl.

This does not mean that you should be arrogant or you ignore either of them, if they reach out. Don’t go about becoming bitter and angry. You would figure your own circle, they can be young, yet respectful and cordial.

If you carry yourself in a dignified manner, you can become so much more to this young boys. It is you that have to improve your absorber in how such interactions offend you. If you want respect anywhere, earn it. But the way to earn it, is not by alienating yourself, or by coercing fear. It’s by being responsible, by being cordial. Spend more time developing yourself. Studying and praying.

Hmm, well said bro.

a4cube:
One of the two front runners. That could mean Obi Vs Atiku or Jagaban Vs Atiku. So where is the swipe at Ob?

Exactly! He didn't mention names... that means in reality people are not counting Obi as a front runner.
Period!

Maxitomxane:
It's #1000 naira to get an activation key.
The key is bound to whichever device the App gets activated on for life.

I have changed my phone 3 times.
I bought an activation key for my previous two phones.
Even for my laptop for my brother and sister to practise on.

Myschool + pq + reading your necessary stuff + some other apps = 300+.
I wouldn't be so sure of this if I didn't use the App for a long period of time.

Attached Below is a screenshot of the time i used the App on my previous phones.

Thanks for your reply.
Does the 1k sub. include Jamb CBT preparations (question & answer)?

Maxitomxane:
Download myschool App and get the necessary Textbooks.

If you can maintain a score of 280+ above on the app, your 300+ in jamb is set.

How much is the app subscription, and for how long?

Won't you just love the biblical wisdom of staying away from fornication, and being patient with the Lord to guide and connect you to your spouse, since the path of the righteous is ordered by the Lord?

Yes oh

NimrodEndOfDays:
so it was unlawful to marry from a different race??

Really? Where was that stated?

Bahamas95:
Most Nigerians reason like goats. Whenever they see someone riding a bicycle they either call you a poor man or they say you're behaving like a child.


I can't wait to leave this pathetic country, most Nigerians are so annoying.

Same here...

Rokiatu45:
Don baba self like woman ooh.

Msmither:
Steam deck rocks for me.
I play most games with little or no problems.

Apart from Valve games, can you play typical PC games like Days Gone, Cyber Punk 2077, MW 2, Crysis, Deep Space on your Steam Deck?
Can you post more pics of your Steam Deck (not internet) pics pls?

Good news!
May Eledumare's blessings continue in Yoruba land. Amen.

abdulhakim3:
We were in Secondary School when he said this, he didn't even want to me to go to the university but rather a teacher training college.

And to add, me and my brother have no desire in wanting to teach in the school he is the one rather forcing us.

Look stop trying to paint your uncle bad, he is not responsible for getting your father a job, nor does he owe him money; he even provided your father employment.

Your father can resign if he doesn't want it.

Your uncle cannot force you to do anything you don't want to do.

If you don't like your uncle, you, your brother and your father can simply stay away.

EOD.

We are blacks. Blacks generally don't have the patience and discipline to build successful societies.

Generally, blacks don't think LONG-TERM, they think short-term only.
