20 THINGS THEY WON’T TEACH YOU IN THE UNIVERSITY
Let me tell you 20 bitter-sweet truths they will NOT teach you in school.
Real life will school you well.
Grab a chair.
1. First-class no dey guarantee first-class life.
Your grades might open doors, but your skills and street sense will keep them open.
2. Nobody owes you a job after NYSC.
Entitlement will keep you broke. Create what you can’t find.
3. Passion without profit is poverty.
You sabi sing? Bake? Write? Good. Package it, price it, promote it!
4. You will need CONNECTIONS more than maths CALCULATIONS.
Network like your life depends on it because sometimes, it actually does.
5. Your certificate is paper. Your skills are power.
BSc without value = Broke Smart Citizen.
6. Soft skills will open more doors than hard degrees.
Can you communicate?
Think? Sell? Create? Lead? That’s the real gold.
7. You’ll pay rent with real money, not CGPA.
Life will humble you when house agents start asking for 2 years upfront.
8. There’s no course called “How to handle heartbreak and bills.”
But you’ll learn it by fire, by thunder, or by personal experience.
9. Dressing well will give you more respect than your ID card.
Packaging matters. Don’t argue.
10. School teaches theory. Life demands results.
No employer is asking if you passed GST101.
11. Nobody’s coming to save you.
Take responsibility. Your life is your project.
12. Money is not evil. Lack of money is stressful.
Learn how to make, manage, and multiply it.
13. The real world doesn’t care if you were popular on campus.
After graduation, na your bank account go talk, not your popularity in school.
14. Your lecturer may forget your name. Your side hustle won’t.
Start early. Start small. Just start something!
15. After school, Comparison will kill your confidence.
Focus on your lane even if it’s slow. Faithfulness brings fruitfulness.
16. You won’t find your purpose in a textbook.
Your purpose is in your story, your pain, your gift. Pay attention.
17. God is not just for campus fellowship.
After school, you’ll need Him more than ever. Keep Him close.
18. You can be educated and still financially stuck.
That’s why you must learn how to sell something.
19. There’s no refund for time wasted.
Use your 20s wisely. Nobody’s coming to apologize on your behalf.
20. You don’t need to “blow” to be successful.
Impact. Influence. Income.
Start building it quietly. Results will make noise later.
University gave you knowledge.
Life will give you sense.
But YOU must give yourself discipline, direction, and divine help.
And always remember, your future is bigger than your school ID card.
