If dem born you for Nigeria, you get PhD for "Management" before you even enter Primary 6.
Let’s talk.
You learn economics from your mama’s wallet, how to stretch ₦500 like bubblegum, cover soup ingredients, transport, and still hold change. You learn sociology from the queue at the filling station, the vibes in the danfo, the unspoken rules of who to greet and who to ignore. You learn engineering from fixing the generator in the dark, and political science from knowing which local official’s nephew can help speed up your passport.
We blame Naija for the weight. The system that turns simple things into obstacle courses. Where light no dey, but bill dey come. Where you need "connection" for what merit should cover. Where the country breaks your heart but still expects you to build its future.
But then, we praise Naija for the strength it forces into our bones.
The hustle isn’t just a side hustle; it’s your central nervous system. The creativity isn’t for show; it’s survival. We manage what cannot be controlled. We smile through situations that would make other people collapse. We find detours where there are no roads.
We are experts in the art of "making it work."
Economically, turning nothing into something.
Socially, building communities in chaos.
Academically, excelling in spite of, not because of.
Financially, balancing family, future, and faith on a tightrope.
Nigeria doesn’t give you a manual. It throws you into the ocean with one instruction: "Swim." And by the time you reach shore, you’ve not only learned to swim,you’ve built a boat, charted a new route, and are teaching others how to navigate the waves.
So yes, we complain about the heat of the fire.
But we cannot deny, it forges steel.
1–0 if dem born you for Nigeria. Because you didn’t just survive the game. You learned to play it on expert mode before you even knew there was a beginner setting.
