Confused Graduate Syndrome : A Story Too Many Nigerians Know Too Well

Ever felt like your degree came with vibes but no direction? You leave school and suddenly, everyone’s a tech bro, a content queen, or some “strategy consultant”… Or worse, scrolled through LinkedIn and felt like everyone but you cracked some secret code to adulthood and employment? and you? You’re just there, confused, or probably still trying to figure out if you should learn tech or just open a shawarma spot?

”You’re not alone. Many Nigerian students and graduates are stuck in what I call Confused Graduate Syndrome, that awkward limbo where you’ve earned a degree but can’t seem to figure out what to do with it. It’s like being handed a blank map and told to find treasure, no compass, no guide, not even a hint.

I’ve Been There Too…

Back in university, I had passion, loads of it. I wanted to grow, succeed, and become somebody. But here’s the problem: I had no idea what that looked like in real life.

• I didn’t know what skills were relevant.
• I didn’t understand how the job market worked. 
• While my classmates were landing internships and networking their way into top companies, I was still Googling “what to do after NYSC.”

 Meanwhile, the job market kept moving like a Danfo bus you miss while tying your shoelace.

The Real Struggle Nobody Talks About

The reality is, Nigerian universities prepare you for exams, not employment. And that’s why so many of us graduate confused, frustrated and stuck.

Here’s the harsh truth:

•  Most graduates lack market-relevant skills, especially in tech, business, and digital roles.
• Soft skills like communication, leadership, and teamwork? Totally ignored.
• Networking and industry exposure? If you didn’t have connections before school, you’re basically on your own.
• Career guidance? More like “just pick any course and manage it.”

The result? 

Thousands of smart, passionate young Nigerians left stranded, confused, underprepared, and unsure of their next move.

So, What Changed for Me? I discovered The T.I.M.E Community.

Then came something that finally made sense. 

The T.I.M.E Community is more than just a group, but developing the Tools for Innovation, Mastery, and Empowerment.

Through TIME SERIES I got Clarity

It honestly turned everything around for me, and it can for you too, no cap..
