This thing irritates me so much. Anytime my nephew or niece asks me a basic question, I ask them what they’ve done before asking me. They know the answer cannot be nothing. Else, they just turn back to go and make an attempt first…because they know they’ve fucked up like that. Teach your young people to have agency. You too train yourself. Just search for stuff. It’s even crazier because we’re in the age where information follows you everywhere! Leave those classes and WhatsApp groups for more complex career learnings. Why are you joining a telegram group to learn how to do build a CV in 2026????????? Do better for yourself. Actually google, use AI, research and learn things by yourself.

Young people with zero sense of agency. Ughhhhh!!!! It is actually very disturbing that a young person cannot just google basic things and set themselves up. It’s everything you must join a Telegram group for. You cannot exercise your own critical thinking, you just always outsource it to others. You’ll see someone mention an opportunity on Twitter, and you’re in the comments asking for the link a million times. Meanwhile, someone with a higher sense of agency has googled it, found the link, read the requirements, and probably started applying. “This mercor thing I’m seeing online, somebody should dm me the link.” Ehrr…Google it? Ask ChatGPT? Search Twitter? Anything? You cannot apply for visa yourself. Not that you don’t have time o, you’re just not sure how to do it and have zero willingness to do what’s necessary to learn. You need an agent or a “plug” or WhatsApp group for the most basic things. What’s going on? You cannot just sit down, read, research, follow instructions, and figure things out without somebody holding your hand? Later, you’ll be angry that somebody is charging you ₦20k to join a WhatsApp group. Since you’ve decided not to take control of your own affairs nko? You either develop a sense of agency in your life, or keep paying those who have developed theirs. Simple. But if it’s a new social media feature, you’ll figure that one out. Please do better for yourself. Take control of your own life. Before you ask, first ensure you actually have exhausted all the options available to you. “Is it not easier to ask?” Not when that’s your default response everytime! Learn to research. Learn to navigate unfamiliar systems. Learn to read instructions. Learn to make informed decisions. Learn to figure things out even when nobody is available to guide you. Train your own brain. Bruh. Be intellectually independent. It is how to go far in life, faster.
