Que Sera Sera What Will Be Won't Be If You Don't Make It Be
<p>What will be won won’t be if you don’t make it be</p><p> Reflects a hard truth that quietly underpins the Nigerian experience of ambition, struggle, and survival. In a society where opportunities often feel unevenly spread and where many grow up learning to manage life rather than be handed stability, the notion of destiny alone feels incomplete. </p><p>For most people, nothing arrives fully formed whether it's education, success, or even basic comfort. Instead, life calls for active participation. You need to push through uncertainty, to build from scarcity, and to keep moving forward even when the system doesn’t seem to move with you. In that sense, the future isn't a predetermined script written in the sky; it’s something we negotiate every day through effort, discipline, and stubborn endurance.</p><p>For many Nigerians, this isn’t just philosophy it’s daily reality. Students grapple with unstable academic schedules and financial strains. Young graduates face a job market that often requires experience they haven't yet had the chance to gain. Entrepreneurs start small businesses in environments where stability is fragile and inflation can undo yesterday’s plans. Yet, amid all this, there is a quiet resilience: people still try, still build, still hope for something better. </p><p>The line between what will be and what will not be isn’t fate it’s action, timing, and resilience meeting the challenges of reality.</p><p>The idea isn’t to suggest that life bends easily to willpower alone. It’s about understanding that passivity is the real enemy of possibility. In a place where systems might not always guarantee fairness, waiting can be costly. Dreams that aren’t actively pursued slowly fade into regrets that can feel like destiny, even if they were left behind. So, this statement serves as both a warning and a call to action: the future doesn’t come automatically you have to step into it, shape it, and insist on it, sometimes even when the odds seem stacked against you.</p>
At the end of the month, we give out prizes in 3 categories: Best Content, Top Engagers and
Most Engaged Content.
Best Content
Top Engagers
Most Engaged Content
Best Content
We give out cash prizes to between 7 and 20 community members with the best insights in the past month.
The winners are picked by an in-house selection process.
The winners are NOT picked from the leaderboards/rankings, we choose winners based on the quality, originality
and insightfulness of their content.
Here are a few other things to know for the Best Content track
1
Quality over Quantity — You stand a higher chance of winning by publishing a few really good insights across the entire month,
rather than a lot of low-quality, spammy posts.
2
Share original, authentic, and engaging content that clearly reflects your voice, thoughts, and opinions.
3
Avoid using AI to generate content—use it instead to correct grammar, improve flow, enhance structure, and boost clarity.
4
Explore audio content—high-quality audio insights can significantly boost your chances of standing out.
5
Use eye-catching cover images—if your content doesn't attract attention, it's less likely to be read or engaged with.
6
Share your content in your social circles to build engagement around it.
