Proud multilingual moment 💃🏽😌
Used some words in a meeting, checked afterwards, and confirmed that the pronunciation and spelling were correct.

You owe yourself ihsaan. You owe yourself good sleep, a word of encouragement, good treatment and unconditional love. Everyone you know will separate from you at some stage of your journey except for yourself. You will enter each chapter with you. So be good to you!
I’m not saying this is wrong ooo but :
If we agree that Nigeria is on ~200M+ population.
- Then we need to think about how many % of that actually use smart phones and computers. ( to be able to use AI chat bots)
- Then we talk about how many actually access the Internet steadily.
Maybe if this stats is for lagos and abuja only, cuz there’s no way this is for all Nigeria.
Stats like “93% of Nigerians rely on AI for learning complex topics” will start to sound impossible to you.
Maybe I’m just overthinking things, the article also said “80% of Nigerians say they’re more excited than concerned about AI’s potential.”
80% of Nigerians is over 160M. 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
(remember, only about 90M Nigerians are on WhatsApp. This is both young and adults)
I alone must bear the burden of believing in my dreams. Anyone else who chooses to, is welcome to do so; but my belief in my dreams is independent of anyone else’s approval or validation.
PMing is just being a professional negotiator between User Pain & Business Viability.
You have to be the user’s loudest advocate while being the company’s smartest strategist. It’s a high-wire act.
If you can’t translate UX friction into ROI, you’ll always lose the battle.
I strive to be consistent in seeking knowledge and growth both in my deen (religion) and career 😇
Closing one chapter, opening another ✨️

just spent two hours crafting a thought, only to realize I didn’t agree with it anymore. this is one of many reasons the act of writing is so important, and should never be outsourced.
thinking hones your writing.
writing hones your thinking.
My Nigerian mother and my English father modelled hard work in a way that I never understood growing up.
My dad worked a full time job late into the evening and when his work was done, he would go and join my mum at her job in a small, hot, fast-paced restaurant kitchen until the early hours of the morning.
They came home when I was asleep and went to work when I was asleep.
When my mum left the restaurant, she opened a corner shop called KJS and would work all day and all night.
She would end up sleeping in the back room of the corner shop on a bag of rice because local kids would break in, steal things and vandalise the shop because she was pretty much the only black women in the area.
My dad again, would finish his full time job, and go straight to my mum’s shop and help her until late into the night.
The most remarkable part of this, isn’t just the fact that they worked 7-days a week to provide for their family.
It was their attitude towards their work.
They never ever described or viewed what they did as hard work.
I never ever heard them complain even once about "working hard".
They seemed to view work as the ultimate privilege, honour and opportunity.
The older I’ve gotten, the more I’ve realised that they were my biggest professional inspirations and influence - not because they gave me profound advice like some parents do, but because they set a profound example without needing to say a word - one that has enabled me to pursue my own dreams with a level of focused gratitude that I wouldn't have had otherwise.
"My parents were tasked with the job of survival and I with self-actualisation. What a luxury it is to search for purpose, meaning, and fulfilment." - Bo Ren
The older I get, the more I realize preparation always beats planning. Planning is based on the expectation of order. Preparation is based on the expectation of chaos. Plan for order and you'll be destroyed by chaos. Prepare for chaos and you'll thrive in any condition.
The quickest way to tell how intelligent someone is, is to see how well they can consider someone else's point of view without getting defensive. Curiosity is the best indicator of a sharp mind.
