๐จ ๐๐ ๐ ๐๐๐๐๐: Arsenal Women have completed the signing of Selina Cerci on a permanent deal from Hoffenheim. โ โ๏ธ
Welcome to The Arsenal, Selina! โค๏ธโ๐ฅ
You'll be surprised by the growing French demographic. It'll make the team even more diverse, and the talent is definitely there.This was still a conversation we had on a group after the game.
Dear Blessing,
I just came across your tweet, and it truly inspired me.
To graduate with a First Class in Mathematics from UNILORIN and then earn a fully funded Master's admission in Italy is an extraordinary achievement. You have demonstrated excellence and the promise that exists in so many young Nigerians.
No young person who has worked this hard should have such an opportunity limited by the cost of getting there. It would be my privilege to support your journey by covering what is left in the cost of your relocation.
@nancy_i_i from my office will reach out to you today.
Congratulations once again. Go, excel, and continue to make Nigeria proud.

I know a number of people who didnโt marry their โspecโ but are in the healthiest marriages I know. Their spec was typically whatever was culturally deemed to be at the apex of the attractiveness pyramid when they were growing up. For a lot of guys in my generation, it was the music video โvixensโ from the late 90s/early 2000s Hip & R&B music videos with โcoke bottle figuresโ and or light skinned eurocentric features. When itโs time to find a partner for the very serious endeavor of sharing a life with, that โspecโ is simply inadequate as a measure of compatibility and thatโs understandable. The foolishness though is communicating it as though their partner somehow didnโt measure up to their โspecโ instead of simply admitting that the idea of their spec was stupid all along and a young boyโs lack of wisdom of what makes a good life partner.
Communicating publicly or even privately to your partner that they werenโt your spec to begin with may seem harmless, after-all youโre just being honest. But subconsciously, itโs an ego trip for you who โsettledโ and for your the partner, itโs a chip they will always carry on their shoulder that to you, they arenโt quite enough. Theyโre missing something you had always longed for, so much so that you still consider it to be your โspecโ. Itโs an unnecessary mind fuck and a cruel thing to say about somebody who is sharing a life with you. No matter how flowery you are with the compliments that come after. Youโve already knocked them down several pegs.
If the point is to say your spec changed then talk about the stupidity of having a spec to begin with. Because Iโve never heard anyone in these situations talk about character attributes being their spec, itโs always superficial stuff. Or speak about how meeting your partner opened your eyes to what true beauty is. Speak in ways that elevate and affirm your partner.
Nothing but pride for @CANMNT_Official today.

An incredible run and a sign of whatโs to come.

Thank you to our team, the fans, and everyone who made this World Cup showing our best yet.
Help Make My Scholarship Dream Come True ๐
I'm Adisa Blessing Oluwafikayo, a First-Class Mathematics graduate (CGPA: 4.76/5.0) from UNILORIN.
I'm happy to have been awarded a fully funded Master's scholarship in Mathematics at the University of Calabria, Italy.
I don't share stories like this often, but this one is worth your attention.
Meet Adisa Blessing Oluwafikayo. First-Class graduate in Mathematics from UNILORIN, CGPA 4.76/5.0. This is no small feat, she put in so much to get here.
She earned a fully funded Master's scholarship in Mathematics at the University of Calabria, Italy. Tuition, accommodation, meals, and stipend all covered. This is the kind of opportunity that can change a family's story for good, for life.
She has already paid her enrollment fee. She used her tutoring savings and borrowed from friends to get this far.
What she needs now is โฌ3,122 (about โฆ4.9 million) to cover her visa, flight, document processing, and initial settlement in Italy. The scholarship does not cover this part, and without it, she cannot travel to start what she has already earned.
This is someone who did the work and is one step away from the finish line.
If you can support her, even a small amount helps.
If you cannot, a share costs nothing and might reach someone who can ๐๐พ
Being alive is a privilege, more than half of the cast have returned to their creator. I remember this movie made wave at the time. Corper Femi just dey sample girls dey go ๐
I learnt beadmaking during my NYSC days in Lafia, Nasarawa State.
So when I got back home after my service year, I started making bead bags, flower pots and matted bags for sale alongside applying for jobs.
For context, at the time, I was already a chartered accountant with a first-class degree in accounting.
My mum would tell her friends and colleagues about my little business, and they would place orders, and I would stay up all night making those pieces for them.
Then one day, something happened.
My mum got back from work, and she said, โOre, one of my friends placed an order for a bead purse; please help me make it for herโ
My dad, who was also there, got instantly furious, and he said: โThis is not my vision for her life, stop bringing her these orders, I want her to focus on getting good job opportunitiesโ.
That was a reset moment for my mum and me. We just quietly dispersed, and it was the last order my mum ever brought me ๐คฃ
I then refocused my time and energy on the aptitude tests I kept failing, began passing them, and landed a bank role and later a PwC role to kick-start my career.
