I spent 4 years paying my younger sister’s school fees. Every single kobo.

The day she graduated, she gave the acknowledgement speech and thanked everyone except me.

I sat in that hall and felt my soul leave my body 😭.

When she got admission, things were tight at home.

I had just started my first job.

I told our parents, "Don't worry. I’ll handle it." And I did.

Every semester. No breaks.

There were months I was eating 0-1-0 so her account wouldn't run dry.

I never told her. I didn't think I needed to.

Graduation day, she looked beautiful. The first graduate in our family.

I was prouder of her than I’ve ever been of myself.

Then she got the mic.

> She thanked God. (Fair).
> She thanked our parents. (Expected).
> She thanked her friends who kept her sane.
> She even thanked her HOD.

Then she sat down.

My mother looked at me. I smiled and looked away, but the clapping felt like it was happening in a different room.

I didn’t say anything that day. Or the week after.

But something in how I moved changed.

I stopped volunteering. Started waiting to be asked. Started noticing who actually noticed me.

People say, "Don’t give to be recognized." I agree to an extent.

But there is a thin line between not needing applause and being erased by the person you bled for.

That's not humility. That's invisibility.

We’re fine now. I brought it up six months later, calmly.

She cried, and said she was nervous and blanked.

Maybe. Maybe not 🤷

But I learned something either way.

Sacrifice without communication creates invisible resentment.

Tell people what you are carrying for them. Not to guilt trip them. But because silence makes martyrs, and martyrs make bitter people.

This same dynamic shows up in dating every day.

You’re playing the provider or the supporter in silence, while your partner thinks you're just an oil money that never runs dry.

Stop accepting the bare minimum of gratitude. If they don't see the sacrifice, they won't value the person making it.

Has someone ever made you feel invisible in a relationship after everything you did for them?
Let’s talk below.👇

About two weeks ago, after a viral tweet, I started a small WhatsApp community for Nigerians living in Canada.

Since then, I’ve met some truly incredible people selfless individuals willing to show up for their fellow countrymen, even without ever meeting in person. What started as a simple idea has grown into a refreshing camaraderie built on generosity, shared experiences, and a genuine desire to add value.

Very quickly, we realized that a large portion of the community consists of temporary residents who are actively seeking to transition into permanent resident.

And as we all know, Canada’s immigration landscape seems like a moving target right now. Policies have shifted. Eligibility criteria keep evolving. What worked yesterday may not work tomorrow.

In response, we’ve decided to host an online Q&A session featuring a licensed Nigerian-Canadian immigration expert.

The goal is for community members to get accurate answers to the real questions they are facing in their journey towards becoming permanent resident in Canada or any other Canada related immigration issue.

On Saturday, 6pm EST, Dr. Harrison Tighiri, Lead Consultant at @raeimmigration, will be joining us to answer your questions with professionalism and in-depth knowledge of Canadian immigration landscape.

You can submit your questions anonymously using this link - https://t.co/mNkHfmy4Ii, We understand how sensitive immigration matters can be, this is why anonymity is important to us.

And If your question is detailed, you can also send it via email to [email protected]

On Saturday, 6pm EST. Join the conversation here:

Thank you 😍😎

[Adesola Osikalu @Adesolami27]

@poffman007 @nimc_ng Have you gotten a solution to this as I currently have the same issue with GTbank

[Adesola Osikalu @Adesolami27]

@nimc_ng Hello,

I need assistance in updating the name on my Virtual NIN.

I already changed my name but GTBANK complained the name on the Virtual NIN still has my old name.

[Adesola Osikalu @Adesolami27]

@gtbank_help Hello, I need assistance in linking my NIN to my account. Currently in the diaspora and I do not have access to my registered SIM.
