She took to her TikTok page to share her story, explaining how she now works as a zobo vendor to make ends meet. She revealed that she spent half a decade pursuing her education at the university, but ultimately became a zobo seller after graduation. Eyes Of Lagos reports,

“If I had known it would be zobo I’d end up selling, I wouldn’t have wasted 5 years of my life in LASU,” she captioned her post.

Her video has since sparked various reactions from viewers.

@gbemmy cakes commented: “Education is never a waste. Can you compare yourself to a roadside zobo seller? No.”

@Gozi Oleks asked: “Which course did you study? Can you defend your certificate?”

@Lily🤪🥰 responded: “Abeg, don’t fear me ooo😭 I’m also a fresh graduate from LASU.”

@Zayyy 💕 said: “Seeing this while sitting in a hot class in LASU😂 God, please help.”

@9jahairgrowthdoctor_Cosmetics shared: “Sorry sorry 😂😂😂 I studied microbiology for 5 years too, and now I’m selling haircare and skincare products 😂😂😂.”

@Adetutu🥰😍 wrote: “Which course did you study? My friend asked me to ask☺️.”

@IVORY 🥺🌸💕 added: “Omo, sometimes life is about connections 😞. Thanks to my uncle who patiently waited for me to graduate 👩‍🎓, I didn’t have to wait for work, work was waiting for me 😭😂.”

@JOSENTIALS said: “Thank God I started mine before entering school. Omo, this thing is not even funny 😂😭.”

SalamRushdie:
She can use what she learnt in school to grow her Zobo business into a Behemoth

EmperorCaesar:
So, its the School's fault or what?

Why does she have to include the school? Like say LASU na one Uni like that...School wey dem no know outside Lagos


Anyway, I have come to learn that, in some cases, the difference between the rich and the poor in Nigeria is just information

If she's under 26, and regardless of her course of study,most banks and auditing firm take in fresh graduates multiple times a year for their Graduate Training program and its based on merit only. Connecting with those in that line would help a great deal and the Entry-level pay is always around 300k- 550k depending on the bank(not a bad start for a 24year old graduate)

Not sure she's aware of that or others sef

kingthreat:
Tens of thousands of graduates yearly. But where are the jobs?
