Nigerian in the UK at 30: Have I Wasted My Youth?

I moved to the UK at 16 and I am now 30. I studied English for two years before taking an IT course in college. I also failed university twice, in 2022 and 2023. Since then, I have been working a minimum-wage retail job. I feel unsure about what to do next and have started thinking seriously about returning to Nigeria. Have I really wasted my youth, and what practical steps should I take from here?
