I’ve finally moved to the United States 🇺🇸

Glad to announce I’ve been transferred from the Netherlands to our Connecticut office in the United States.
Looking forward to what the future holds for me in the US 🇺🇸

[‘Wale Adejimi @Ifwal95]

@chinweze_n9831 @dooladepo Yes. Heavy on theology and church history.

[‘Wale Adejimi @Ifwal95]

This! This was true for me 😂😂

My roles in campus fellowship:
-President, Anglican Students’ Fellowship, TASUED
-General secretary, Christian Union, TASUED
-Prayer Secretary, NCCF, Oyo Zone

After campus fellowship, I got to NYSC and the fire 🔥 became x10. I was more energized and even more convinced that ministry was my calling.

After applying for international scholarships and facing multiple rejections, I remember going to my Venerable (a priest in church) one day and telling him I might just enroll in a seminary because it seemed this “Science” thing abroad wasn’t for me. I explained all the rejections and how I was losing hope at that moment… meanwhile, I was becoming deeply passionate about ministry.

He asked if I was still awaiting any application decisions, and I told him yes — Germany and Finland. He said I should wait, and if the outcomes weren’t positive, perhaps we could discuss with the Bishop.

I’m glad the offer from Germany came through. If not, I probably would have enrolled in a full-time seminary 😂 and be ordained by now.

Anyways, I still ended up enrolling for an online Bachelor’s degree in Theology at the seminary… and I just graduated 😂🙏🏽

Funny how life turns out sometimes.

Campus Fellowship has a way of making you feel you have a calling.

Sha finish school first. 🤔🤔🤔

@Greatvine23 Indeed

When I was transferring from the Netherlands 🇳🇱 to the USA 🇺🇸, even though:

• It was an internal transfer
• My manager in the Netherlands and the hiring manager in the U.S. had already aligned on the move
• The transfer was practically settled

I was still required to go through the formal application process, including submitting a CV and a cover letter.

I also had 2–3 interviews with leaders in the U.S. team. The difference was that the interviews felt more like discussions about what I could bring to the team rather than high-pressure assessments.

In fact, I didn’t even accept the first offer immediately because there were negotiations involved. 😂

So personally, I can’t rule out a job opportunity simply because it requires a cover letter. Maybe I’m not there yet.

[Àgbàakin of Europe🇳🇬 🇪🇺 @powerfulbadeeu]

A rule of thumb for me is not submitting Cover letter too.

PS- I don’t recommend either.

[‘Wale Adejimi @Ifwal95]

@OverallIdris Nice. 👌

[‘Wale Adejimi @Ifwal95]

Sometimes, it’s not just about how much you read. Some people understand the material very well but are naturally slow in the exam hall.

I had a classmate during my Physics undergraduate days who was really brilliant. The edge I often had over him wasn’t knowledge, it was speed! Once I understood the concepts and practiced enough, I could solve problems very quickly. I’m not sure which is faster between my brain and my hands in exam halls 😁😁

In a course like Physics, speed matters a lot. It’s not enough to know the answers; you must be able to work through calculations and derivations within a limited time. In fact, if you’re aiming for A’s in many undergraduate Physics courses, there’s a good chance you’ll be asking for extra answer sheets before the exam ends, and you know what that mean… 😄 Speed! Speed!!

[BUKOLA @WithBukky]

I’ve seen students who practically live in the library always reading, barely involved in social activities, yet they’re still not among the top 10 in class.

@yoruba_firstt1 @Opeblack_ Correct. My mum did both with her apprentices many times.

[‘Wale Adejimi @Ifwal95]

I can actually answer this one from experience 😂😂

My mum used to be an Alága as a side hustle long before I was born, and she continued until 2010 when my dad passed away.

Throughout my secondary school years, I was her talking drummer at many of the ceremonies she anchored 😂. I was attending engagement ceremonies almost every weekend, I’ve probably been to more than 25 traditional weddings 😂😂

Alága Ìdúró represents the groom’s family; the side that comes to ask for the bride’s hand in marriage. Symbolically, they are the party “standing” to make a request.

Alága Ìjókòó represents the bride’s family; the side receiving the proposal and considering the request. Symbolically, they are the party “seated” in authority to accept or reject it.

So the “standing” and “sitting” are more about the traditional roles of the two families during the engagement process than whether the Alága is physically standing or sitting. 😄

[Kikelomo Sowore @KikelomoSowore]

‘’Alaga Iduro’’ is such a Yoruba oxymoron: why is the person standing the chair-person?

[‘Wale Adejimi @Ifwal95]

@theAyoHaven It’s my pleasure sir

[‘Wale Adejimi @Ifwal95]

@theglobalsam Glad to hear you learnt something😊
