Did Ycee's pursuit of computer science get lost in the chase for money? He dives into how societal priorities have shifted, questioning if the drive for wealth overshadows ethical behavior, even in Nigeria.

He addresses the criticism he faced, clarifying his stance wasn't about classism but a genuine concern for societal values. Despite not having a university degree, his past intellectual curiosity, including reading an entire dictionary, highlights a different kind of drive.

Find out why Ycee missed the cutoff for computer science and his thoughts on how things might have changed years later.
