Expectation vs Reality: Life After Uni

It's really crazy how unprepared for life the average young Nigerian is for life. What's more, there aren't any systems to at least soften the blow of the world's deadliest hood - Adulthood. In this episode, we shed more light on subjects that young people should be aware of and more importantly, the role internships play in career choice.
