According to research, being born in Nigeria is a sure way you start loosing the match 1-0, if you are not born into a wealthy family, that's 2-0 already, if you had a poor education and didn't learn any handwork, that makes it 3-0.
You will have to work extra hard to equalize from 3-0 to 3-3 and then fight to win the match. This particular fight can take years on end, but what do you do, you keep at it until you break even and begin to profit in this life especially if you have God on your side. You take calculated risks and you check out what to do and what not to do so that you will not find yourself in the trenches.
When you have equipped yourself with this information, you will know that you have no business competing with people who have no bills to pay, you have no business rubbing shoulders with people who have been set up for life by their wealthy parents, you have no business trying to live a fake life that you cannot maintain and you have absolutely no business trying to impress people who do no even care with money that is not enough to take good care of you.
The few things you need to do are:
You have only God, so hold him tight. Pray o... Pray.
Show up everyday looking your best, wear a great smile, put in the effort require.
Iron your limited selection of clothes, shoes and other accessories, repeat them cautiously with pride.
If you are not invited, don't go, if you don't have the money to do it 4 times, don't bother doing it at all, look for alternatives (such as expensive outings, going to watch movies in cinemas when you can download from sites). Nobody gives you award for spending your last card to impress them.
Avoid anything that will stain your white at all Cost, if you notice a trouble brewing, run, I say... Run.
Save like an ant, because you may not have anywhere to turn to on rainy days, just you and you family and God.
Do everything you can to be outstanding, build relationship connections, develop communication skills, carry that "that is how I am" attitude and throw it away.
Buy older products from a year or two ago, nobody gives award for buying the latest iPhone 13 pro max. If you don't have money to buy 5 of it, you don't need it. IPhone 8 is there, Samsung S10 or note 10 is there. They are cheaper and will give you up to 70% value as new products.
And so on.
Rearrange and pick your priorities like beans, if after 2022 you are still where you are, it simply means you did not really pay any attention to all that has been going on. If God has helped you and kept away all those who want to stain your white, then you must do everything you can to not stain your white by yourself.
Maintaining your beauty should be your priority.
Don't stain your white.
Lol. Opportunities can be built in Nigeria. It’s all about connections and all. So 1-0 is not really a thing one can say 😁

Life in Nigeria is really hard especially if you're not from a wealthy home, once you manage to finish secondary school through thick and thine, that's when the real struggles..
Using myself as an example, nothing concern me and fake life or hanging my bags where my hand wouldn't reach, it has been from one struggle to the other trying to make ends that has refused to meet.
I'll keep pushing sha, I believe there is light at the end of the tunnel
