The narrative says Nigerian students are inexperienced.
The data says otherwise.
Today, The Garage is releasing the State of Student Work Report, based on responses from 4,000+ students across 55 institutions in 29 states.
What we found:
• 2 in 3 students are already working
• Nearly 80% graduate with 2+ years of experience
• 1 in 5 earns ₦100k–₦200k monthly while studying
• 42% support their households
This is the reality of Nigeria’s emerging student workforce.

You’ve taken the courses. You’ve learned the skills. So why isn’t the income matching the effort?
Anchored by @faithvictor.c with @digi.talwitch , @topboyrayy and @ayahmatanga this session confronted a hard truth that skill acquisition is only step one and bridging the gap between knowledge and earning requires clarity, courage, and consistent action.

#ANYDC2026
Nigerian Débatteur d'Or Award 2025.
Meet the Top Room Debaters of the Year 2024 — the ones who didn't just enter rooms, they owned them.
They've earned their spot at the top, not by chance, but by performance.
Congratulations to you all.

I will be speaking @tedxuniversityofportharcourt next week!!
Having watched hours of @ted content, I’m a bit nervous and scared about this, but I’m also really excited to give this talk on something I’m deeply passionate about.
If you’re in PH, we should hang, probably in a coworking space because I’d be working all weekend.💀
Had fun yesterday at the Arbitrum Nexus event where I spoke on "The Power of Content". The energy was awesome and I loved the serenity of the Enugu campus of the University of Nigeria.
Met a lot of cool people.
Let's keep building.🤭
