Industrial Chemistry Graduate (First Class Hons) || My journey on Excellence, Discipline & Tech.

Nigeria
Joined October 2021
That was where I discovered I knew nothing, I was just a local champion. 😂 Fast-forward years later… The boy who hated Chemistry studied Industrial Chemistry in uni….. and now graduating with a first class and the best in his department. I’m really indebted to God.🙌
I hated Chemistry in secondary school. And that was because I just didn’t have anyone to properly teach me the core. I remember attending a tutorial when I was preparing for my first JAMB, I was in the midst of students aspiring to study at UI. They made me see my true self….

The reality of most Nigerian students.😥
People will advise you when you gain admission: “Don’t let lecturers know you too much.” Follow that routine throughout University, then after graduation you’ll need recommendation letters and academic references. Broo, who will recommend you? 😭😭

Three scholarships every Nigerian at 18 should apply to before they turn 22: Mastercard Foundation Scholars Program. Commonwealth Scholarship. Chevening Award. Each one funds a full degree at a top global university, room, board, flight, stipend. Most Nigerians hear about them at 26 when it is already late. The undergraduate at Nsukka or Ibadan reading this right now has four years. Start the file this week. One of these three will change your family's trajectory. Which one is a coin flip. Whether one changes it at all is up to you.

Your dreams don't care how bad you want them. If your skill level isn't matching your confidence level, you're just dreaming with your eyes open.

I highly recommend for all undergraduates...
Knowing what my final CGPA would be before the beginning of my third year (300L) gave me the push to target nothing but perfect GPA (5.0) for the remaining semesters. This app is one I'd recommend anytime.

Again, if you sabi book, it will take you to places you never imagined. If you're from a poor home, academic excellence is one of the most democratic ways to lift yourself out of poverty. Grind while still in school. Face your studies please.
A (uni) classmate of mine just resumed full-time at JP Morgan. Boy grew up in Ikorodu. Na all of us dey wear palm trek from obakekere to obanla in FUTA. Life ya werey gan.

Some people spend months searching for scholarships but haven’t prepared their CV. Others have a CV but no clear research interest. Others have both but haven’t asked anyone for a recommendation. Scholarship preparation is a process. Don’t wait for the deadline to start.

Strong research experience is essential for research-based scholarships. After responding to 100+ DMs from applicants, I’ve seen this as a major gap So I curated a database of ~200 Nigerian research institutes across all 6 geopolitical zones, spanning STEM and non-STEM fields👇🏾

This has been ringing in my head since Saturday: “Don’t beg for a scholarship. Let your experience and expertise speak for you.”

Cold-emailing professors? Please don’t send: “Dear Professor, I want to study in your university. Do you have funding?” 😭 Read their research first. Find the connection between their work and your interests. Then write a specific email.

Dear Africans planning to study abroad in 2027: start gathering your documents today. Don't wait until you find a fully funded scholarship to discover your university needs 3 months to process your transcript. A deadline is the day you SUBMIT, not the day you START. 🧵👇

there’s something I was taught in chemistry it’s called surface area… life has taught me to increase my surface area to “get lucky”. it’s hard to get lucky when you remain in a spot, you need to expand, move, grow, and be intentional too!

I don’t know how to explain this, but when you read, you just know things. It doesn’t always have to be academic books. Reading makes you versatile and well-informed. You understand different topics, see things from different perspectives, and contribute meaningfully to conversations without forcing it. Like, you just know…. Read a Book Today!

Don't leave your area of strength to move to another research area. Use your current research area with experience to land yourself abroad, and once you get there, you can decide to switch to something else.
