It is with an extreme heavy heart that I have come to the decision to share this information. Yesterday, on the 25/05/2026, my 12‑year‑old son was stopped, handcuffed, and searched by a Kent Police officer in Sevenoaks after briefly touching and playing with a loose stop sign.
As a product designer, how have you incorporated AI into your day to day work?
For me I use Ai as a brainstorming companion to generate ideas and North Star visions to drive conversations. To make and ship small hi changes.
Curious to know what everyone else is doing
@Sisi_Yemmie It's a wild behavior, I think digital products should have a no refund policy. Cos how will they return the pdf, for physical books they should just return the books
My name is Zainab. I’m 27 years old. An SS.
That is, I live with sickle cell disease.
My parents are both AS.
Oh, they They knew.
They were told.
They still married.
They said God approved it. They said love would be enough. They said faith would cover the consequences.
I am the consequence.
I was diagnosed before I was two. My childhood memories are not playgrounds or cartoons,they are; hospitals, needles, and adults whispering when they thought I couldn’t hear.
In primary school, I missed classes so often that teachers stopped asking why. Some classmates thought I was pretending. Some thought I was cursed. I learned early how to smile while feeling different.
By secondary school, the pain episodes became more frequent. I would wake up excited for school and end the day on a hospital bed. I watched my mates grow normally while my life moved in pauses, school, hospital, recovery, repeat.
At 15, I lost my younger brother to sickle cell.
We were both SS.
That day changed me forever.
My parents broke down in front of me — crying, apologizing, saying “We followed faith. We didn’t think…”
But the damage had already been done.
Sometimes I forgive them.
Sometimes I resent them deeply.
Both feelings live in me.
In university, I tried to be normal. I joined sickle cell advocacy groups, volunteered with awareness organizations, spoke at events, encouraged parents to test their genotype. People call me strong. They call me a warrior.
What they don’t see is me crying alone at night after another silent pain episode.
They don’t see the fear that comes with planning a future in a body that doesn’t always cooperate.
And Relationships?
That’s another wound.
I’ve been loved… briefly.
The moment conversations turn serious about marriage, children, commitment….they leave. Some are honest. Some ghost me. Some promise forever and disappear quietly.
One man once said he would do anything for me. He talked about taking me abroad, better care, a life without fear. I believed him. For the first time, my heart rested.
Then one day, he stopped calling.
That heartbreak triggered one of the worst crises I’ve had as an adult. Not because of physical stress but because hope collapsed.
Now I’m older. The pain episodes come differently. Less dramatic, but more exhausting. My body recovers slower. My fears are heavier. I ask myself questions my parents never asked each other.
I am strong, yes.
But I am tired.
If you are AS and the person you love is AS, please love your unborn children enough to stop and think. Faith is not a license to ignore knowledge. I am a proof to that
I didn’t ask to be a lesson.
But if my life can prevent another child from being born into avoidable pain, then my voice matters.
That’s why I’m writing this to you. Because people listens to you and this story needs to be heard. I hope that your audience share this till it reaches those who are about to walk by faith and not by sight, Sickle Cell is real!.
Adeyinka, keep rescuing lives, I love how you raise awareness and say the truth unapologetically, those who do not like you are probably those who wish they could be you. Have you met you?. Oh,I see you Queen Ade💪🏻
As proud partners of @ProductDive, we're looking forward to an exceptional gathering of product leaders, innovators, and tech professionals shaping Africa's digital future.
Connect with industry experts, gain actionable insights on product innovation and development.
I’ve seen opportunities pass over amazing product professionals and not because they aren’t skilled.
Skill alone doesn’t get you promoted, recognised, or trusted to lead products anymore. The people who move forward are the ones who can:
🔹 Ship features that drive metrics, not activity
🔹 Prioritise ruthlessly, cut noise, and make decisions grounded in data, users, and business goals
🔹 Collaborate effectively from Product Managers to Engineers, QA to Designers for predictable delivery and clean processes
When these are missing, even brilliant people get stuck: same interviews, promotions skip you, same rejections, opportunities pass you by.
This is why #TheDive2025 exists.
It’s not a motivational event.
It’s a hands-on, technical, practical product management conference built for the realities of African and emerging-market product teams.
You’ll learn how to:
🔹 Prioritise work that drives revenue and impact
🔹 Ship features faster with fewer bugs
🔹 Run product teams that actually deliver
🔹 Build products that users love and remember
See some of our amazing speakers. Expect:
🔹 1:1 sessions
🔹 Team sessions
🔹 Industry deep dives
🔹 Career fair and more
It’s exactly 2 weeks to the conference. Tired of being stuck?
Your 2026 outcomes can be better. Let’s fix it at #TheDive2025

This is Itohan, the lady that falsely accused Mr James Oluwatosin the InDrive rider of being a thief.
Everything she said about the man in the circulated post on WhatsApp and twitter is false. Please kindly share this so that divers of other E-transport platforms like Uber, Bolt, InDrive and so on will be careful of her and not pick her up anytime she order rides.
God bless you as you share.
Apparently the driver in question is my uncle, The whole scenario happened on Sunday night and nobody was robbed!!
They were simply sorrounded by touts and they didn’t rob you off anything you this ev** clout chaser,
Everything that transpired that night is explained here .
The interesting thing is that after I shared my opinions on Instagram, many new/expectant mothers came to thank me privately because they didn’t have the words to express what I did.
Na we carry/born the pikin, but we also see what it did to our men.
One does not take away
@rolayomide She was badly behaved. Slapping everyone, fighting everyone. She can't even claim she's the victim when she was assaulting everyone on the flight. The flight is not even long, what does it take to comply with the rules. Nonsense
