Dipo said on X:

"If you get a job paying N100K in Lagos or Abuja after NYSC please take it if you don’t currently have a better option. Start from somewhere, gain real life experience, develop fantastic employability skills and brand yourself excellently. After a while, aim higher and apply for better jobs. Don’t get stuck. Don’t wait forever doing nothing. Make sure you are earning and learning, constantly!"
