For many Nigerian undergraduates, the university journey is often painted as a time of discovery, freedom, and growth.
But beneath the surface lies a maze of challengesprocrastination, peer pressure, poor time management, and the overwhelming task of balancing life inside and outside the classroom.
One young educationist believes she has found the key to navigating it all.
Ekundayo Faith Oyindamola, fondly known as Celebrity Writer, is preparing to release her debut book, Knowing Your First Enemy as an Undergraduate: How to Live in and Beyond the Classroom Walls.
A graduate of English Language Education from the Federal University Oye-Ekiti (FUOYE), Faith has built her brand around inspiring students to live with intention.
“Many undergraduates enter school without a clear sense of purpose. They fall into cycles of distraction and waste valuable time. My book is to help them wake up and live deliberately,” she says.
Faith’s journey into advocacy for education and personal development didn’t happen overnight.
Over the years, she has distinguished herself as an award winning content writer, certified coach, and personal development strategist.
Through her initiative, Celebrity Writer Hub of Excellence, she has reached hundreds of students, hosting workshops and mentorship programs tailored to help young people unlock their potential.
Her upcoming book goes beyond being a mere academic guide. It blends real-life experiences with practical strategies to help students confront their “first enemy” the invisible struggles that prevent them from reaching their full potential.
From tackling time-wasting habits to rising above negative peer influence, the book is a roadmap for intentional living.
For Faith, the message is clear: academic excellence alone is not enough. Students must prepare themselves for life after graduation.
“Your certificate is important, but it’s not everything. What you do with your time, the skills you build, and the discipline you cultivate will ultimately define your success,” she emphasizes.
The official launch date of the book will be announced soon, but anticipation is already building among her students and followers. Many see this release as a timely intervention for undergraduates across Nigeria and beyond.
