I remember a foolish ex friend who claimed I spoke Ibibio too much…
And she’s even from Akwaibom oo😂😂, mkpo ke low self esteem..
I told her YES, Capital lettered..
Ibibio is my root, my heritage, my identity..
Right from Age 3 i understood ibibio, ‘cus my mom ensured I knew how to. Even while living in Lagos.
I could read the Edisana Nwed ke iko Efik so fluently at age 13.
Have you seen the way people look at us in awe when we speak ibibio? It’s such a magnificent language.
If i had my way, i would be typing only in Ibibio

Nobody pays you if nobody knows you.
I’ve seen great ideas and solutions go unnoticed, because they weren’t visible.
A lot of us were raised to believe that if we just keep our heads down and do great work, someone will eventually notice.
SOMETIMES that happens. MOST TIMES, it doesn’t.
Skills matter, but visibility often decides who gets the call, who gets the seat at the table, and who gets trusted with the opportunity.
It’s beyond just making noise or self-promotion for the sake of it. It’s about making your work seen by the people it’s meant to serve.
Sharing your process, documenting your wins (and even your lessons), letting your name travel ahead of you.
The concept of credibility or competence is often built on perception formed from digital footprints even before word of mouth recommendation which doesn’t even happen always.
Do the work well (that part is non-negotiable), then make sure the right people know you exist.
DON’T BE INVISIBLE
