The Ojo Files: It's been 10 years and we're almost 30!

My Internet connection has been down for the last couple of days, the least i can say is that i was an emotional wreck during this period. It occoured to me how much of my life i have put into youtube, google, facebook, wiki, and you know the whole clique and the i ask myself is it worth being a geek, putting my work, studies and relationships on the line? i can't say.
Well, being online once again, Odunayo Kupolokun caught me on facebook and we chatted. Odunayo is a technologist working in Paris and an ex-Nigerian Navy Secondary School student. We gisted about general issues, IT, career, life. Then Odunayo said something that got me thinking so much i wrote this blog. it's been 10years (We left secondary school 10 years ago) and we're almost 30 ( most of us are within the range of 26-30 years). Age is really a measurement of how much we achieve in life, at least in african societies. We should at this time be catering for our own immediate family, mayhaps the nigerian economy is a bit harsh but I'm sure with a little focus and determination we will be able to achieve whatever our goals may be in life..
The epiphany of Odunayo's words is scaring me like crazy because if age is truly a measurement of how much we have achieved in life then i seem to be on the last bus.
