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!"

"Just ensure you keep advancing however rate, it will still be better than remaining on a spot waiting for a sudden advancement."
