It's never easy in this nation. To all the young guys (mid 20's)out there trying to find a way through to make ends meet.. I say may God see you through.

Am in my mid 20's though.. Currently pursuing my Masters in one of the federal universities in the country. Been learning so many production skills as I still grind through in my education. I know what it feels like to be told that you have younger ones and that their school fees will have to be paid when asking for money from your parents, or that their is no money.

Am not counting in millions yet.. But I know for certain that soon I will.

Learn a skill.. Keep working.. Tomorrow will be better.

In my mid 20s too.....
Not easy at all after graduating from skul, served the nation and end up back to my parents house without a job, every day i just keeps worrying my self about how everything was so frustrating.....one night i was just lying on my bed thinking about everything, things like how to make money for my self (productivity). Skills poped up to my mind that night, I was like woow....so what skills? I don't know! I searched online to see top skills and how much they earn after learning, so Programming/Web design that midnight, showed interest to learn fast and sell my self with it, but I don't have a laptop. I had to lied to my parents that have gotten a job in an IT firm that they won't pay untill after 6months, that the pay is 140k, they were so happy. I did this so i could afford to get laptop to start learning, so i told them i can't start work without laptop, it is their num 1 criteria, told my dad to borrow me the money that i will return it back...... luckily for me he did, went to computer village and bought the laptop. I will leave home around 9am go to one bet9a shop with my laptop till 2pm and start coming home just to pretend as if i am going to work Monday to friday. At the bet9ja shop while others are arguing about soccer and spoilt tickets i will be busy learning coding and charging at the same time, at times i will feel like crying, I did this for like 2months till i lost interest in coding, I moved to graphics.....was very easy for me to learn and not boring to me unlike that Programming, fast forwarded to March..... I'm now an elite graphics designer now working for a firm with a pay of over 100k, and that March made it exactly of the 6months i lied to my parents.... leaving my parent house this month, nothing to worried about again, if u are in your 20s u can learn from this. Pray to God, Know what u wants, Learn a skill..... with this u won't suffer by the time u clock 30s....Shalom!

You are right
"Its like living a lie"
Sir, am in the same shoes right now. God willing, I'll graduate at 24 with a B.Agric certificate which I opted for after several at tee for Medicine. Right now, I am contemplating what my future would look like, the urge to give Medicine another attempt in my Finals is still high, while I am also looking at my age and finance.
Its one of the toughest dilemma I've got myself, I just pray God guides me to the right path.
