@OctopusTp @Dikachi289705 @instablog9ja The problem is that you are not smart. If you were you would listen and understand his POV completely before making an argument.
@PiscesShe@Ihunanya_chi The purpose of Hallelujah challenge was not for fasting, it’s a praise and worship program that is done yearly. Get your facts straight.
@Godsontweet@Miss_Ameenah Yes, it is part of their nursing responsibilities. There are nursing plans and reviews that they need to put in place. It is all part of care planning.
I was about to spend £30,000 on an MSc. in the U.K. Data Science…. Leeds Beckett University, started the travel process;TB test, CAS , etc.
One random evening, Debbie, my friend from uni, called. We were catching up… life after school and all. Told Debbie I was going to the U.K. for MSc, self-sponsored.
Few days later, Debbie called to tell me about a fully funded scholarship. She was so eager and pushy. “Wale, I’ve tried this thing, but you’re the only person I know who meets all the requirements. The bar is really high. It’s people like you they are looking for. I believe you’ll get it.”
Such audacity. Such belief in my potentials and abilities. She forwarded all the documents to me, even paid for a coaching program. All this stress for a Wale that’s already scouting for a studio apartment in Leeds.
I was reluctant. Even though I had won multiple scholarships in the past(Microsoft, Western Union etc) , I didn’t want to join thousands of applicants hustling for the few available slots. I just wanted to do the MSc, come back to Nigeria and continue building my startup .
So I dismissed Debbie. I didn’t act. I went ahead with my U.K. plans. Was already buying and saving £s.
But Debbie kept disturbing me, so I reluctantly started the scholarship application. She’d call to ask about my progress, if I had sent my transcript, share updates about the scholarship, guide me on how to pay the admission fee etc.
I finally decided to give it a shot. Spent 3 whole days putting the application together. It was a solid application nonetheless. I put in my A-game. But to be honest, I only did it for Debbie.
Then the list came out, 9,000+ applicants from 100+ countries. Only 300 were granted. That’s a 3.3% success rate. I was among.
The congratulatory email came. A fully funded scholarship. Flight ticket, visa fee, monthly stipend, tuition, accommodation, everything.
All because Debbie was selfless and believed in my potential.
If you’ll go far in life, you must have friends who believe in your dreams and potentials.... and that will put you on.. Some friends are destiny helpers sent by God. Debbie is one.
Thank you again Debbie.

@go1dwing When I was in high school, I had this language teacher who was really old and on one open day, my mum sees him and recognised him. Turns out he taught my elder brother in another school and taught my mum when she was younger.
@MrMekzy_ She even slapped a staff once. I reported to HR and all they could say was they understood and they know she is like that and I should manage. I had to drop my resignation. It was a very toxic space.
@MrMekzy_ I’ve been there and it was terrible. I worked at a private hospital in Lagos where my matron was so vile. She shouts at nurses and calls us names in front of patients. On one occasion, she was screaming at me and my patient was apologizing on my behalf. I felt small.
@sharonxoxo_ I’m so terrible with names, I’ve lived with 3 other flatmates I see almost everyday for about 9months now and I can only remember 1 persons name yet they all call me by my name😩
@tribore01@Germanprinz@LeonardBanks718@drshaunnn Uhmmmm haven’t you ever heard of airports??? Y’all still think we’re out here crossing the seven seas to travel? Yes “some” illegal migrants go through extreme lengths to travel however, the emphasis is on SOME.
