Nobody prepares you for the year after uni in Nigeria.
You finish. Wait for NYSC. Serve. Come back.
Then there is this gap btw being an adult with a degree and having no idea what comes next.
The job market is not what they told you.
The connections are not there yet..
Most Nigerian young people get handed a script before they are old enough to question it.
School. Uni. Good grades. Job. Car. House. Marriage. Children.
You follow it. Tick every box.
And somehow it still feels like you are living someone else's life.

There’s a real loneliness to being ambitious in Nigeria.
You can’t admit you’re struggling because people depend on you, and saying you’re ‘lost’ feels like a luxury so you perform certainty you don't feel.
Despite this you keep going.
That says everything about who you are.
As we enter July today, the mission stays the same.
We are not just observing change, we’re becoming it together, as a community 💚.
Here's to achieving more this next half of the year. 🥂
Happy new month!

James interviewed Adésuwa Rhodes after they met. She said yes because "these moments don't knock twice."
She wasn't lucky; she was ready.
That is the entire Gleefield mission in one story. Being ready when the moment comes. 💚

The $1 trillion opportunity nobody is talking about!
I interviewed a private equity mogul in Nigeria, and I asked her how she got RICH!
I asked @AdesuwaOR the number one lesson about money she learned after managing over $80 million and how she dealt with facing rejection early on in her career.
I also asked her the biggest misconception people have about Africa and the best industry to get into in today’s world.
Lastly, I asked her about her faith and belief in God.
Found old Gleefield photos and our hearts are full. 💚
Same energy. Same mission.
If you have been here since the beginning you know and we see you.

Tools don't care but someone who does is waiting for you at home.
Protect yourself first before you build
Share this with someone you care about their safety.

You do not stumble into the right community.
You choose it.
Then you stay.
Gleefield is that choice for a lot of young people in Nigeria.
Is it yours? Follow us and find out. 💚

Responsibility is not a burden. It is a signal.
It means you have gotten far enough down the road to see what someone behind you cannot yet see.
They do not need to be saved. They need to be believed in.
One door held open.
That is what it looks like at Gleefield.

The most dangerous thing we can do for Africa's next generation is nothing.
Not harm. Not neglect.
Just comfortable silence while they figure it out alone.
Gleefield exists because we refused that comfort.
Happy new week!

June 12 is a reminder that the right to a voice, a room, a seat had to be fought for.
Gleefield exists in that same spirit.
Are you in it? 💚
#June12#DemocracyDay#GleefieldCommunity
The right community changes everything.
It gives you language for who you are, frameworks for what you're building, and people who get it.
That's Gleefield. 🫶

Africa's next generation is not a problem to be solved.
They are a force to be equipped.
Gleefield is doing the equipping.
Happy new week!
#GleefieldCommunity#TodayisMonday#imapact
Growing up in Nigeria means learning to figure things out alone.
Most systems are not built to hold you.
So, you build yourself.
Gleefield is for the ones building themselves.
You should not have to do it in silence.
