Nigerians, pls allow boiled yam, pounded & porridge rest small. 😂
If you have yam sitting in your kitchen, just buy Oil & try this crispy yam balls.
Easy & tasty Recipe👇🏾
Ladies, there’s that one guy trying to ‘mansplain’
You’ve made a great point and articulated it well, and then he goes: ‘This is what Ore is trying to say’
And then they say the exact same thing in triple the number of sentences it needed.
Stay calm.
But ask for a catch-up at some point in the following day or 2
Say something like: ‘I really love on-the-go learning and feedback, and I want to make sure that in the instance of that meeting we had, I am not losing a learning opportunity. Would you be so kind as to let me know what was wrong with what I said that it needed to be explained further or elaborated on’
Of course - there’s nothing, so they’ll either say a load of nonsense to cover up their bad behaviour or actually acknowledge they were wrong.
In either case, they’ll tread more carefully next time.
‘You did great, for someone so new’
‘You speak so well. When did you arrive in the UK?’
‘Your team met the deadline despite the initial chaos’
Bla bla bla
Always trying to rage bait the baiter 😂
In this case, think: what is the good in the sentence? Channel your response towards that.
For instance: ‘I manage ONLY high-performing teams’.
"For me, I would say IGCSE Mathematics is easier than WAEC Mathematics." — Tolulope Israel Adekimi.
Following his triumph as the world's top performer in Cambridge IGCSE Mathematics, the Year 12 student outlines how decoding real-world scenarios makes the international paper more approachable than its domestic counterpart (WAEC).

Most freelancers waste time begging for gigs on Upwork or firing off random cold DMs that never get answered.
I do things differently.
This is the exact process I follow. It’s mostly free to start and anyone can do it:

I have 9 solar panels on my roof.
It charges my car during the day and powers the house.
Cutting my electricity bill by half during the summer.
The 24/7 light is not free.
Those were his exact words, but the caption strips out the context. Watched the full interview and his point was really that it is far easier to sit on the investor side of the table than to actually build, operate etc and take the punches that come with creating a company. And honestly, I think he’s right.
The fact that Nigeria is full of problems is a call for problem solvers. Don't minimize the problems but don't be crippled by them either. Pick one and solve. Men will rally around you and support you if you are really about that life.
God please I need a proper big girl job. I love seeing high earning corporate women.
Their dresses, wigs, pants and shirts, bags, accessories and poise.
I’m suited for it oh Lord! You know I’m not lazy and I’m humble enough to learn
I just need one person to believe in me🙏
I didn't know Nigeria had whiz kids who killed it, in Rome, yesterday.
I would have gone to cheer them.
Just one hour flight.
From one scholar to another, handing in my respect to those kids. Would have been nice.
This was the chorus people kept singing to me while I was fighting to maintain my first class in university.
I hope today’s students are not being swayed by this kind of advice. Thank God I wasn’t.
First class l’awa njẹ oo (Nah first class I dey chop o) 😂
If I hadn’t graduated with a first class in 2017, I’m almost certain nothing would have taken me out of Nigeria on a funded scholarship or opened the doors to the opportunities I’ve enjoyed over the last six years abroad.
So if you’re a current student, don’t listen to this. Face your books and do everything you can to earn that first class. It may not guarantee financial success, but it can open doors that might otherwise remain closed.
If you do extremely hard things, hard things become easy, met a lot of characters in Unilag, there was this nigga that used to do overnight reading from the first day of resumption, always studied like his life was at stake.

Whatever you do this week, ensure you look like the bag of money you are chasing.
In 2018, I went for a client meeting. The client insisted on seeing me off. He walked me outside his office and I kept pacing up and down for my uber before eventually resolving to walk to the junction to meet him. My invoice for 1.2m instantly became 200k. I still can’t explain it but I guess 200k is for confidence 😃
Last week, I was in a meeting with a client to close transactions worth billions of Naira. Three gentlemen walked into the meeting room dressed like they just got back from the village square and I mean this seriously. They had an okay presentation and gave reasonable responses to questions asked.
Immediately they stepped out, the client took one look at me and said “Peju, I’m sure you know we aren’t giving those people a billion naira talkless of 7.”
I understood immediately.
I’ve been there.
This is not to say we should stop aiming high, live above our means or seek to misrepresent our position or status.
This is to say:
Understand the Nigerian business environment where you are first judged by a number of factors including who sent you, how you look and how you are dressed before you even open your mouth to show competence.
Continue to strive hard to create opportunities for yourself but when those opportunities eventually show up, try not to look like your problems, do your best and put your best foot forward.
As a person from a humble background, the world is already leading you 20:0. Don’t increase the scoreline by being laid back, nonchalant or lackadaisical about your own growth or journey.
You might not match the image in their mind but ensure you make it super difficult for them to say no to you.
Fun fact: The client I went to close a transaction for last week is the same one that paid me 200k in 2018.
Consistency and confidence surely counts for something….
