Onyeka Nwelues advice to UNN students

Dear lions and lionesses, in my short journey in life, I have come to the conclusion that you SHOULD not always listen to what OLDER people tell you it’s right, because most of them couldn’t fix their own lives and haven’t figured ways to fix them. So, this is what they do to you; they try to talk you into doing things the way they want to see it. They will tell you, ‘Go to university and when you graduate, we will fix you up.’ You obey and then go and spend 4 years somewhere and graduating, they have just died. You look around, perplexed and hopeless. Some of them also might be helpless and sick when you finish. You will spend the rest of life trying to figure out a new life. What we don’t understand about this life is this: nothing works as planned. Nothing. Live your life with the flow. Those who plan and fail always find the Devil to blame. Don’t hanker around for promises. People will tell you what you want to hear so you can leave them alone. Move on with your life and achieve the little things that your heart yearns for. Leave uncles and aunts alone. Leave role models alone. Many of them have battered lives and are very irresponsible to their own private desires.
