I want to be someone who gives deeply, love people properly, build extraordinary things, show up for my people and squeeze as much life as possible out of the years I am given. I just don’t want to confuse a full life with a life in which I am constantly depleted.
The rules of acing interviews are still the basics.
1. Treat Interviews like Conversations
2. Sell your best self in METRICS and IMPACT.
3. Be concise in your responses; a short but precise answer is better than a long disinteresting one.
4. Know your field and use industry lingo.
and if you feel stuck, go back to number one.
Some of you are honestly being unnecessarily cruel. Yes, it was copyright infringement, and she owned up to it, took responsibility and explained what happened. According to her, she has also reached out to Uzo and her team and they’re working towards an Agreement.
What else??
OPEN STATEMENT
I have seen the conversations currently circulating on social media concerning the use of Uzoamaka Power’s likeness on the cover of my book, and I believe it is important that I address the matter myself.
First, I am the author of the book in question. There is no publisher involved in this work. It is an independently published book, which means I personally oversaw the publishing process.
Yes, I reached out to Uzoamaka Power concerning the use of her image. Unfortunately, I did not receive a response at the time. Out of excitement and, in hindsight, poor judgment, I proceeded to print the work. That was a careless mistake on my part, and I take responsibility for it.
I am not going to pretend that the situation did not happen, nor am I interested in shifting responsibility to a publisher or anyone else. I made the decision, and I acknowledge that I should have handled the matter differently.
However, I want to assure everyone that this is currently being addressed. I am already in communication with Uzoamaka Power’s team, and we are working towards an agreement and a proper resolution.
In the meantime, the cover has been changed. All new copies of the book now carry the new cover shown below, and the previous cover is no longer being used for new copies.
I understand why people are concerned about image rights, and I respect Uzoamaka Power and her team enough to work with them directly to resolve this properly.
So, please, lay your swords down for now. There is no need for further attacks, insults, or outrage on either side. This matter is already being handled directly with her team, and I am committed to correcting my mistake.
I am sorry for the oversight, and I appreciate everyone who brought the matter to my attention.
Thank you.
You’ve been eating voraciously since January,
Where has that brought you? 🤭
Oya,
For the rest of the year,
Declare a fast, and pray longer than usual, daily.
Leave food and touch God!
Your future self will thank you for this decision.
Happy new month 😒
One practice for this week;
Withdraw on purpose.
Choose one 60–90 minute focus block each day.
Put your phone on Do Not Disturb.
Tell yourself:
"I will not respond to anything that is not an emergency."
Then pray:
"Lord, settle my mind. Teach me quietness that becomes strength."
Focus is not only productivity.
It is peace.
It is the discipline of saying no to small things so you can say yes to the work God actually gave you.
You don't find focus.
You steward it.
Solitude has a way of teaching you who you are. It gives you the space to know yourself deeply, to find peace in your own company, and to become fiercely protective of that peace. But sometimes, in learning to survive alone, you also learn to hold parts of yourself back.

Dear Employee,
Thank you for informing us that the water has reached your knees.
Company policy only recognizes flooding as a valid excuse when it reaches your shoulders.
See you in the office tomorrow.
Thank you.
I labored for 3 good days because my husband said it’s a taboo to deliver through CS!
This one doesn’t value her life because her husband is her everything!
That friends allow each other evolve without immediately naming it abandonment. That silence is not always interpreted as absence of love. That people remember some friendships are still safe places, even when life becomes busy and complicated.
PUBLIC HOLIDAYS are unnecessary!!!
If I have my way, there won’t be public holidays at all.
They are a waste of productive hours!!!
I believe you all agree with me that hours being spent at home sleeping and wasting away can be used to meet deadlines, fulfill SLAs and drive organizational growth.
Thank you.
