On the 7th of August, I officially completed my NYSC service year 🎉

I still remember the day I checked my call-up letter, I took one glance at it and my heart sank. Imo State? Far from home? How? Why? Mehnnnn. I actually cried🥲

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.

@hannytalker Amennnnnnnnn😌

I have a different take and parents will hate it BUT here goes.

Living at home comes with responsibility. Chores are part of communal living, respect, and contribution. However, authority doesn’t cancel out kindness.

The problem was never doing chores.
The problem is how power is exercised.

There’s a massive difference between:
“Please wash the dishes before you sleep” and “You’re lazy. You never do anything. Go do the dishes now.”

One is parenting.
The other is control wrapped in disrespect.

Parents don’t struggle with assigning chores, but they struggle with basic emotional regulation and kindness toward their own children. Commands are easier than conversation. Insults are easier than patience. Fear is easier than mutual respect.

Based on true story ... conversation attached!!!

Should Current Salary Still Influence Hiring Decisions?

Can we please stop asking candidates for their previous salary or payslips just to decide their new offer?

If you already have a set budget and have evaluated their skills during the interview, base your offer on that, not their past pay.

Somehow, I’m now in Stage 9 of the HNG Internship, on the verge of becoming a finalist… and it still feels unreal typing this......

That’s rare right, I know 😁✨
I didn’t think I’d be excited for a birthday again, but here I am: anxious, hopeful, grateful.
My wish?
A good job & to be in the place I’ve been working towards.
Cheers to 25 🥂

HNG i13 Finalist 🥹. It's been 3 days and I still can’t get over it. From 12,600+ interns at Stage 0 to ~400 finalists

It started like a joke, then it became war😭
Sleepless nights, starvation, coding from Saturday night till 5am Sunday morning (with church by 8am💀)
