Background: Graduates in Nigeria need to realize that the educational system they evolve from has not fully prepared them for the global competition in corporate Nigeria. Who shines amidst this darkness remain those that have committed themselves to the path of self development, form healthy social networks, discovers, and leverages their core strengths to excel against all odds.

“ Two roads diverged in a wood, and I – I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference” - - Robert Frost "Everyone chooses one of two roads in life - the old and the young, the rich and the poor, men and women alike. One is the broad, well-traveled road to mediocrity, the other the road to greatness and meaning. The range of possibilities that exists within each of these two destinations is as wide as the diversity of gifts and personalities in the human family. But the contrast between the two destinations is as the night is to the day." — Dr. Stephen R. Covey, from The 8th Habit: From Effectiveness to Greatness It’s About Choice!
