So, like last year when i dropped this update that has taken a lot of people out of the country already as the success rate was high. I am bringing you all the opportunity AGAIN this year.

Many of you here have been quietly planning to leave Nigeria. Most of you have been working on this plan for 18, 20, sometimes 24 months. The visa isn't the problem. The money isn't the problem.
What's holding the plan together by a thread is IELTS.

And it's not because IELTS is unusually hard. It's because most candidates prepare without ever knowing if they're actually ready.

They keep watching videos, doing past questions, downloading materials. But they can't honestly answer the most important question: what would I score tomorrow?

If that describes where you are, there's a 4-Week IELTS Exam Ready Masterclass starting 15th of June, built to close that gap.

Sharing this to help someone, everyone quietly working on their plan.

Every day, we're trapped in the paradox of the "Schrödinger’s immigrant", a mythical outsider who exists simultaneously as a lazy welfare dependent & an unstoppable machine taking all the jobs(both skilled & unskilled).

The immigrant remains a highly convenient shape shifting scapegoat designed to explain away ALL complex, systemic domestic failures.
Keeping this paradox alive ensures politicians never have to answer for a decade of chronic underinvestment, flatlining productivity, & broken infrastructure.

I am Nigerian, and right now my dream is bigger than me.

Only about 4.5% of medical literature globally are represented on Black skin.

That means millions of Black patients are learning from systems that barely look like them. Medical students study diseases on skin tones that are not their own. Doctors are trained with visual references that often fail Black bodies.

That gap has consequences.
So I am deciding to build towards changing it.

I’m starting with a book.
But the larger vision is far beyond that. I want to help build software and medical visualization tools that make Black medical representation impossible to ignore.

This is not just about diversity aesthetics, this is about accuracy, education, visibility and better healthcare outcomes.

One day, I want a Black child studying medicine anywhere on earth to see themselves fully represented in what they learn.
And I believe we can build that future.

Another perfect day to clear up some common misconceptions.

Listen:

1. You don't NEED antibiotics when you have a cold.

2. You CANNOT shift anybody's womb. You cannot even reach it. Don't be stupid.

3. Diabetes is NOT caused by adding too much sugar to your garri.

4. For the last time, Typhoid is NOT malaria and malaria is not Tyforce. Stop diagnosing yourself of typhoid everytime you are ill or have a fever or stomach upset.

5. Hypertension ISN'T caused just by too much thinking.

6. You CANNOT "flush" ur system of illness by "pissing all the sickness away". They LIED to you..6. Your body doesn't need daily supplements. Just eat normally and healthy.

7. You do not need a special kind of tea to flush your system. You are not a public toilet.

8. Putting spoon in a person's mouth during a convulsion will NOT stop ANY convulsion.

9. Taking "Hampicloss" after sexual intercourse will NOT protect you from sexually transmitted infections or pregnancy.

10. Stop the daily douching and stop washing your vaginas with antiseptics. You are only exposing yourself to infections.

Oh... and this one is very important:

Slimming tea CANNOT remove all that fat. It will only make you purge till you are dehydrated (if you are very religious with it) and land you in the accident and emergency of the nearest teaching hospital to you. Go to a Gym, work out and DIET!

Pass it on if you care.

While I bring a close to the "@moniepointng crusades," because this week is going to be really busy for me, just want to say I've contributed my mettle to the "talent gap" and related issues, in Nigeria, both as a trainer, an advocate, and a manager, and I know what I've seen in terms of quality of talent within the Nigerian talent ecosystem.

In the first cohort of the Microsoft Leap program, I saw ladies who came in as noobs and studied unrelated topics like Biochemistry, arguing Network Subnetting by the 3rd week of training.

Within 2 years, most of them were made Leads and Seniors in the companies they were placed at. Several of them relocated outside the country obviously because employers here didn't see or value their worth.

Whether you have a huge following or not, but especially if you do, understand that being the pillar and ladder to those coming after you is the lowest hanging fruit to cement your name in the annals of posterity.

I'm not expecting Tosin to apologize, but I'm hoping he reconsiders his statements, and I hope every other Technical Leader in this country have the mindset to elevate young minds and talents who are not the cause of their present predicaments, but use their existing platforms and resources to prune and elevate perhaps unpolished diamonds in the ecosystem.

Ciao!

I’m not saying MEN shouldn't provide, but make sure you provide for a "thank you so much” woman and not an "as you should" woman.

[👑S.A.L.A.K.O🕊 @UnkleAyo]

I have one piece to share.

I hope all these TL conversations do not poison your heart.

I hope you're not training your mindspace to start choosing partners from a place of fear, or lowered likelihood to cheat. Ask Israel Juju.

These are faulty compasses.

Churchgoers cheat. Atheists cheat. Hijab wielders cheat.

Virgins cheat. Adelebos cheat. 20s cheat. 30s cheat. 40s cheat.

I hope the factors that calibrate your values, are not from Twitter thinkpieces but are strengthened offline. Else, you will end up as a box of ruin.

My safest predicators for relationships are:

- brackets,
- reciprocity.

If you're doing well financially, box within potentials like you doing well financially. Don't be a 7fig earning techie & you'll be hunting smallies struggling with 200L carryover in Laspotech.

Mental brackets. Intellectual brackets. Financial brackets. Exposure brackets.

One of my theories as to why, people (read men) scale way below these brackets is because they're scripting scenarios for control. They're hunting "bendable" women. Chief, she won't be naive forever - but I'll expand on this, some other time.

Be big on reciprocity. As you're doing for your partner in the early weeks, if they like you they would be doing as much.

Using the filters of brackets and reciprocity, are safer predicators than fear and paranoia.

Any virus known previously to scientists in the lab that later becomes transmissible to man, was deliberately taken from the lab to be transmitted to man.

Every woman must build a solid self esteem because the world is designed to call you ugly and expect you to crumble at the mere pronunciation of that word. They place your value firmly on your beauty. You must demolish it.

[Johnmark Obiefuna @jayhemz]

The average Nigerian talent is a generalist. It’s that apparent "lack of focus" that feels that they’re not up to par when you ask for niche knowledge.

But to a foreigner that is used to niche talent, they see nigerian talent as “omo, hope I’m not underpaying this lad o?”. But the Nigerian talent doesn’t know this and sometimes underprices and undervalues themselves.

Some foreign clients even add to an earlier agreed budget because their conscience gets pricked. This is the reason why training Nigerian talent is the EASIEST thing in the world, because their generic knowledge makes them easily grasp anything.

I encourage you, if you're someone considering a field, new to a field or even experienced, please don’t undervalue yourself because one Ngor-Kpalla or Akungba man said you are lazy or not valuable.

[Johnmark Obiefuna @jayhemz]

Not many know that MS Nigeria once hired a Software Engineer who was still schooling at UNILAG.

Maybe this one is extreme, but can you imagine a Nigerian employer hiring someone STILL IN SCHOOL?

I say MS see Baba portfolio as an undergraduate, he got snapped up. Nothing like, "You're still in school, what do you know?" People like this are still out there o, but Tosin knows quality more than Microsoft.

Okay na!!

[Johnmark Obiefuna @jayhemz]

This was at Goldman Sachs Recruitment Day in 2019, at Victoria Island, Lagos (similar to Shell's Recruitment Day).

I didn't make the cut then because there were badder guys from UNILAG, OAU and co, who were and are witches and wizards in coding.

Anyway, my team came second overall and I used sweet mouth to present our technical solution.

This was Goldman Sachs o, able to assemble at least 200 bad guys within Lagos (the picture doesn't show the full hall, which is quite sizeable).

But one bros who knows the local ecosystem more than oyinbo said we don't have world-class talent.

Anyway, most people in this picture had sponsored flight and relocation benefits to the UK and other countries shortly after this picture was taken.

However, you still have people like this within Nigeria's shores.

An AMERICAN FRAUD SCHEME scamming its own citizens

To my fellow Nigerians, As you make money, Please invest in MEDIA.

We Need to change how we are perceived globally.

This so called fraud scheme has 4 Americans in it

🇺🇸 Aruan Drake, 37, Atlanta, Georgia

🇺🇸 Peter Reed, 35, Oak Forest, Illinois

🇺🇸 Shaquille I. Jackson, 33, Chicago,
Illinois

🇺🇸 Lon Goodman, Chicago area, owner of New Dolton Currency Exchange, laundered ~$50M​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

The rest are also American citizens with Nigerian parents.

🇳🇬🇺🇸 Ayobami Osas Christopher, aka “Lovely Man”, 30, Lawrenceville, Georgia

🇳🇬🇺🇸 Ayorinde Emmanuel Adebayo, 35, Olympia Fields, Illinois

🇳🇬🇺🇸 Olabode Bankole, 37, Loganville, Georgia

🇳🇬🇺🇸 Chukwuemeka Evulukwu, 35, Atlanta, Georgia

🇳🇬🇺🇸 Kingsley Owusu, 37, Chicago, Illinois

🇳🇬🇺🇸 Oluwafemi Michael Awoyemi, 40, Romeoville, Illinois​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

11 on that list were not named probably because of their nationality and the backlash.

The only core Nigerians on that list are 4 people, Which I refuse to mention.

So technically. This is an AMERICAN FRAUD SCHEME targeting its own citizens

You see how they use the media to always push narratives.

Nigeria does not have the financial infrastructure to move 215 million dollar.

Don’t let anyone gaslight you.

THIS IS AN AMERICAN THING.

How do you as a man connect with your kids and be present while still holding a full career and provider role ?

- Create the time. If you leave early and come late, don’t play with your weekends with them. Spend time bonding with them, take them out, have shows you watch with them, be curious and not assertive.
- Attend school functions. Take the day off, use your leave, be intentional.
- Don’t always say you are tired. Find the strength and energy.
- Hug them as much as you can. Show affection.
- Explain your job to them. What you do, how that translates to money and responsibilities, and how it helps them afford the life they want
