Consistency means doing something regularly at a set frequency or without exception.

When there's a goal to achieve,
When there's an aim to explore,
Consistency is the key.

A day's break is like a setback because practicing consistency means ensuring you've truly become consistent in applying a new behavior. The best and first benefit is that you turn the new behavior into a habit, which becomes part of you and easy to carry out.

What's that plan of yours that's not been executed? What's that idea that fished out because of a nonchalant attitude and hiding behind a "no time" umbrella? Revive it and make consistency the key.

Story series 2
Seeing a man approaching me dressed casually, I felt somewhat apprehensive and was hesitant to respond until he spoke. I was taken aback and momentarily overwhelmed, which caused me to forget my struggles with fluent English. I spoke in pidgin, and the man gazed at me, I knew it was due to my language. After several exchanges, he inquired why I hadn't attended a higher institution. I explained my view that I simply wanted to earn a living and believed that reading was not the sole pathway to success. He explained that I needed it so I wouldn't be limited to only my mother tongue and pidgin language, which are not universally understood. I understood his explanation and took it upon myself to improve my fluency and confidence in speaking everywhere I go. 💯

Story Series 1

I woke up to a call from my friend informing me about a job interview. Since I wasn’t happy with my current job, I was excited — even though the journey to my friend’s place was four hours long and the interview was the next day. At the time, I was working as a cleaner, so this new opportunity was obviously a better offer.

I rushed to work, completed my tasks for the day, and took permission to be absent the following day. I got home by 4 p.m., packed my bag, and headed to my friend’s place. I arrived a few minutes after 9 o’clock that evening.

The next day, I got dressed and went for the interview. When I arrived at the venue, I heard people speaking so eloquently. Compared to them, I felt insecure because I mostly spoke pidgin. When it was my turn, I answered the first question in pidgin, and they immediately told me that one of the requirements was fluency in English. My heart sank. I knew I had lost the job.

When I returned to my town, my neighbor — who worked in a school — advised me. He knew I couldn’t continue my education at the time due to lack of funds, so he encouraged me to use what I had: my phone. He told me to download learning apps, like dictionaries and phonics apps, and to watch YouTube videos to improve my English. I followed his advice for two months, and gradually, I noticed real improvement.

Soon after, I got a better job opportunity. I later enrolled in a part-time school and completed my education. Today, I’m doing well for myself.

So, do you still want to neglect education? There may be limited job opportunities, but giving up on learning will only make things harder. In today’s society, there’s little room for the illiterate.

Do I need fluency in the English?

Oh yes, you do. English is a global language—often referred to as the lingua franca. Nigeria is a multilingual country with several cultures and many languages, and English serves as a solution to the language barrier. It is used worldwide. Do you now realize that fluency in English is essential? How would you feel if you arrived at a new location, wanted to communicate, and suddenly felt inferior because others spoke fluently while you spoke like a young child? Come on, you need to speak like a pro. Level up!
The truth is that English brings a sense of formality; people tend to treat you with more respect when you appear corporate and speak fluently. Why do you think the elite have more opportunities in society than the illiterate? So, do you still think school is a scam? School is definitely necessary. You learn new words every day—remember, learning never ends, and language is dynamic.
Change your mindset, train yourself, be confident wherever you go, and always remember that you can do it 💯.
