In a TikTok video by @thefolaojoo, the lady opened up about how she graduated at 21 and got her first job at 23.
She said:
“If you ask me how I became a lecturer at 26, I will tell you I had my first degree at 21 and even though. I didn't have the best grade, but I was determined to make the most of it.
“I got my first job at 23 after nysc. I would have just settled with that, but I knew I wanted more. So I started my master's degree and struggled with my job even though it was in 2 different states
“I would work Monday till Thursday then travel Monday evening so I can attend classes on Friday/Saturday
“I finished masters at 26 as the best student in my departments. I built connections with people and spoke about my interest in lecturing. And then lecturing came again at 26.”
She added in the comments:
" I was privileged to have my parent sponsor my first degree but I sponsored my second degree myself…I had to get a job so I could pay for my school fee.
"So the best advice i would give is to get side hustles, jobs , as much as the person can so you can use the money you get from there to pay your fee..it might not be so easy but it a price worth paying I guess."

Unlike us that we have to do two or three jobs somewhere before we could pay our school bills. Thank God for today I’m also a lecturer at one Federal polytechnic in Nigeria."
