925+ Futures

What We Saw

Two Boys. Two Conversations. One Reason This Exists.

Earlier this year, we were on an outreach programme when we stopped to talk with a 15-year-old boy. We asked him a simple question: what does success look like to you?

He described a young man in his neighbourhood who had scammed someone online, gotten a car, and moved to a better part of town. That was his picture of success.

We spoke with another boy who had just finished secondary school with no plans for university. His exact words were "school na scam." He knew a musician who had blown up and was earning millions. Why bother?

These are not isolated stories. These are the narratives that young people across Nigeria are carrying into their futures every single day. And nobody is showing them anything different.

925+ Futures exists to change that.

"I asked him what success looked like. He described a yahoo boy who scammed someone, got a car, and moved to Ikorodu."

What 925+ Futures Does

Not Motivational Speeches. Real Conversations.

We take real professionals from the 925+ community into secondary schools, polytechnics, and universities to sit with students and have honest conversations about careers, choices, and what building a real life actually looks like. Not corporate presentations. Just professionals from different fields sharing their stories and letting students see with their own eyes that there is another way.

The Talk

One professional from the 925+ network speaks to a student audience about their career journey. Honest, personal, and direct. Suitable for assemblies, career weeks, and orientation programmes.

The Panel

Three to five professionals from different fields sit together for a moderated conversation with students. Students ask questions. Professionals answer honestly. No script.

The Career Day

A fuller session where multiple professionals from the 925+ network participate in a school's existing career day programme. We bring the people. You bring the students.

Why This Matters

One Conversation Can Change Everything.

A young person who sees a professional who looks like them, who grew up where they grew up, who faced what they are facing, and who still built something real, that young person's picture of what is possible changes.

That is the whole point.

One conversation. One visit. One professional who showed up. It is not everything. But it is a start. And we believe enough starts become a generation.

"The professionals who participate are not just speaking at a career day. They are becoming the person they wished existed when they were in SS2 trying to figure out what was possible."
