King Glab x Chowdeck spreading happiness as we give you Throwback Thursday & say "THANK YOU"for making us your NO 1 street food hub in 9ja🇳🇬
We built @chowdeck on trust. It guides every decision we make.
A recent incident exposed a vulnerability in a system we created to support small businesses. It raised important questions about customer safety and how vendor verification works on Chowdeck.
We’ve always had a structured verification process. One that creates room for small businesses still completing formal registration and many of our beloved vendors started this way.
However, the incident showed us where the system could be stronger and we’ve now taken steps to close those gaps and strengthen our processes.
Going a step further, customers can now understand how businesses operate on Chowdeck with the introduction of Vendor Badges.

Sometimes, life can turn around so beautifully for people who once thought everything was over.
I’ve had this story in my drafts for a while now…
When I first arrived in the UK, I was working with Indeed Flex. Indeed Flex is an app where International students pick their 20-hour shift from.. There were different kinds of jobs on there such as customer service, retail assistant, bartender, healthcare and so on…
During that period, I was mainly doing customer service and retail assistant jobs. I switched between both roles depending on the shifts available. One of the places I worked as a retail assistant was Tesco, and that was where I met Mr Peter.
Mr Peter should be in his late 40s. He came to the UK with his wife as a student. Every time we worked together, he was always complaining about life in the UK. After work, we usually walked to the bus station together, and we would stand there gist for a few minutes before our buses arrived.
That was when he started opening up to me so back in Nigeria, Mr Peter was a manager at a well-known company. He had built a duplex in Sangotedo and was living comfortably, life was really good for him. His wife should be in her early 30s, this man would complain every time. Sometimes he would even cry. He said he was tired of life here. They were living inside one tiny student accommodation and he couldn't even sleep properly. They sorted their bills with naira because he was limited to 20 hours..
Mind you, the wife was the dependent oh but hardly work cos she was too picky.. You could literally hear the frustration in his voice. He had tried several times to convince his wife that they should return to Nigeria, but she refused. According to him, he never officially resigned from his job before leaving Nigeria, so there was still a possibility they might take him back if he returned.
From my own side, I was also new in the country then barely two months in and life was not easy for me either. But somehow, going back never crossed my mind because before I came, I had already prepared my mind for any struggle. “I plaster here” mindset..
Anyways, I kept encouraging him anytime we saw, I just had that belief that things would work out for them and honestly, I was always looking forward to seeing him at work because our conversations became deeper with time.
After graduation, things started getting better financially for them. They moved into a bigger apartment, and he sounded happier. Meanwhile, back in Nigeria, they were TTC couple but the country made it more difficult cos of the stress.. For every Hallelujah Challenge, they would carry twins as a point of contact while praying . They tried everything possible medically but nothing happened and that became another battle entirely.
Then another problem came. Their visa was about to expire. They kept applying for sponsorship jobs opportunities tirelessly while also preparing themselves mentally in case they had to return to Nigeria.
Me: I’m good at encouraging ppl because I believe that God will never leave them stranded..
Imagine your visa expiring on Monday with no hope of COS insight but guess what? They got a job that comes with COS on Thursday..
3 weeks later, his wife found out she was pregnant after a checkup, and they were told they were expecting TWINS.
Not one baby but TWINS.
They welcomed their two beautiful bouncing babies last month.. I was one of the first set of ppl they usually share their good news with..
My joy knew no bounds when I heard the news, I became a godmother with zero akant ..
The same man who once stood with me at a bus stop, crying because life felt too heavy, now has an NHS job with 5 years' sponsorship, and God blessed them with twins, too.
Life can change so quickly.
Sometimes when people are in the middle of their struggles, it genuinely feels like the whole world is sitting on their shoulders but with patience, prayers, consistency, and refusing to give up… things eventually fall into place

Before this conversation, I thought I understood Bruno Fernandes.
I knew the numbers. The goals, the assists, the leadership, the criticism he’s faced over the years at Manchester United.
But I didn’t understand the mentality behind it.
Bruno has arguably become United’s greatest player of the post-Ferguson era, carrying their creativity season after season.
He’s won more club player of the year awards than Ronaldo, and only five players have scored more than his 70 league goals.
So I went to Manchester United Training Ground to ask him questions the footballing world wants to know.
Bruno spoke about growing up in Porto, watching his father sacrifice his own football career to provide for the family. He told me his dad never praised him for scoring goals. Instead, he’d point out the small things he still needed to improve.
And somehow that mindset shaped one of the most resilient athletes in world football.
We spoke about:
- Why he believes character matters more than talent in elite teams.
- How dressing room culture determines whether talent succeeds or fails.
- Why taking risks is essential if you want to create anything extraordinary!
- His honest opinion on pressure and why he thinks it’s a privilege.
- His thoughts on having Michael Carrick as a manager.
- Addressing Roy Keane’s criticism.
When you listen to Bruno speak, you understand that what makes him exceptional isn’t just technical ability. It’s his standards.
The standards he holds himself to.
The standards he expects from teammates.
The standards he believes define culture.
I really respect how Bruno chose to join United during instability because he believed in rebuilding something meaningful rather than joining an “easy” project.
I saw a much softer and more thoughtful side of Bruno that I don’t think people will expect. So, thank you Bruno for taking the time to sit down with me and for being so vulnerable.
Even if you don’t care about football, there’s a huge amount to learn from this conversation about leadership, resilience and high performance.
