That is not crazy. It’s totally predictable unless you have never left the United States.

I’m Tomi, 25, a UNILAG graduate.

My NYSC posting was to the Ministry of Education, Lagos Island. My heart dropped. I lived in Abule Egba with my aunt.

Transport from Abule Egba to CMS cost ₦1,500–₦2,000 one way by danfo and bus, ₦3,000–₦4,000 round trip. Five days a week would mean ₦60,000–₦80,000 monthly.

My allowance was ₦77,000. I’d have nothing left.

Camp ended Friday. I was to resume Monday.

I called my mum in Ibadan. “Mum, I can’t. After transport, I’ll have ₦0 for food. I’ll reject it.”

She said, “Tomi, go on Monday. Don’t decide from fear.”

Monday at 5:30 AM, I boarded a danfo. It cost ₦1,800 to CMS. I reached the Ministry at 10 AM, one hour late, sweaty, stressed, and ashamed.

I was ready to be shouted at. Instead, the HOD, Mrs. Akin, asked, “Where do you stay?”

“Abule Egba, ma.”

She paused. “You people from the Mainland are suffering. Go to Room 12. We just started a hybrid team.”

Room 12 had four other corps members. “You’ll come in only on Mondays and Wednesdays for meetings. Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays you work from home. We’ll give you a ₦10,000 monthly stipend for data.”

Mondays and Wednesdays: ₦3,500 × 2 days × 4 weeks = ₦28,000.
Allowance ₦77,000 + stipend ₦10,000 - transport ₦28,000 = ₦59,000 left for food, savings, and sending home.

Month 2, Mrs. Akin said: “Your captions are good. My friend needs a social media manager for ₦90,000/month.”

I took it.

Month 9: Allowance ₦77k + side gig ₦90k = ₦167k/month.

Last week of service, Mrs. Akin gave me a letter: “Communications Officer. ₦200,000/month. Resume after your service.”

I moved out of my aunt’s to a flat in Yaba for ₦450k/year.

I almost rejected the posting to Lagos Island.
Now I’m glad the one that almost broke me is the one that paid me 🥹

The difference beteeen $1 and ₦1 is so big that even if you earn ₦1 every day, you won’t make $1 in 2 years.

Your allocation is waiting in the location. Take the step.

Dear ladies never forget that: The same world that shames me for being a single mother also shames you for not being a mother and shames another woman for having too many children..lt shames one woman for having a child at the age of 19 because she's too young but also shames another for having at 36 because she's too old..lt shames a woman who marries young as well as the one who marries old..It shames women who don't have beautiful bodies and shames those who go under the knife to get the bodies. This world shames all women, not a single one of us is spared, not a single one. So love and make yourselves happy.

what you do in private, shows in public.
Reading shows in a conversation. your diet shows in energy. your discipline shows in confidence. your focus shows in your results. you are what you cultivate when no one is watching. prioritize your time & focus on discipline/consistency.

Grateful to God for how far he has brought me. Where I am not is nothing short of remarkable. Still a long way to go and I have no doubts He’s riding for me. 🥹

I would be lying if I say I didn't see the hand of God in my life this year.

[Oreoluwa Bukola, CFA. @BukkyOA]

I do not like numbers.
I do not like accounting.
I do not like anything quantitative.
Do not bring mathematics near me.

However, I somehow built my entire career in the finance space, and I am exceptionally skilled at my job.

Even I don't understand it.

One thing I know, though, is that anything can be learnt irrespective of how you feel about it.

As long as you are comfortable with mediocrity, you would not be passionate about excellence.

I just found a beautiful scripture: Isaiah 41:10.
There will always be trials and tribulations in life, but God will carry you through every storm in your life. And give you strength to make it, even when you feel like you can't.🤍
