Watching Ama Governor talk about how her mates and friends abandoned her when she needed them the most, during her lowest moments, is genuinely heartbreaking. People can be unbelievably cruel.

She’s so cute😍😍 glad she’s very better now

I see a lot of curiosity about this, so I’m going to provide some insight as someone that has similar experience.

Short answer is no. Neither company has a special exchange program with UNILAG. Goldman Sachs in particular had (maybe still has) a dedicated African Recruiting Initiative (ARI). I know this because I was part of the first set of interns recruited under ARI in 2018 while I was an undergrad at LAUTECH. I later returned as a full-time engineer and interviewed students for the same program.

Goldman started ARI in 2018 as an effort to improve diversity at the company. Software engineers flew in from London, New York, and Hong Kong to Lagos to hold a recruitment day where they shared insights about the company and interviewed candidates through group projects and 1:1 interviews, followed by HackerRank assessments and final remote 1:1 interviews. I found out about the opportunity through Stutern and Jobberman at the time.

The inaugural program recruited both full-time engineers and summer interns. Successful interns were hired into the London office, and Goldman partnered with SEO (hence the SEO connection) to prepare candidates for corporate life before they moved to London. Candidates who did well during the internship got return offers as full-time engineers, so many of us already had full-time offers before graduating.

The first cohort was quite diverse, with students from UNILAG, Covenant, LAUTECH, UI, OAU, and Ashesi (Ghana). It was mostly dominated by students from UNILAG and Covenant, largely because of access to information. They found out about the program, shared it among themselves, and prepared together, and it’s the same reason they continue to dominate YoY.

The program has continued since 2018, with subsequent years mostly hiring summer interns, so it’s mainly open to students still in school. There have also been a lot of changes to the process over the years. Applications for the next summer usually open around November/December, so if you’re a student looking to work at these firms, keep an eye on LinkedIn or regularly check their careers page.

Personally, the program was life-changing, and I tried to pay it forward by mentoring a few friends who also got into the program and were retained as full-time engineers.

Many of us from that first cohort have since grown into VPs at Goldman or moved on to become senior engineers at Meta, Google, Microsoft, Palantir, DRW, and Citadel etc while others have gone on to start companies.

So if you’re a student looking to work at these companies, the easiest way in is through the internship pipeline, so hustle for it while you’re still in school. That said, I’ve also seen people who didn’t get in through the internship route come in later as full-time engineers, so that’s very possible too.

Hope this helps someone.

They will never have waist beads to get job in an Oil company, Gas or Tech.
No beads to get shares and stocks in Tesla, Google or Nvidia.

No waist beads to become secretary of United nations or OPEC

Always beads to get gifts from men.
Such a useless product

That’s my view of AI myself. I work in an AI startup and with the complex amount of work being done, more people are being recruited to do the job that matters whilst still having access to the best AI tools.

Results- it makes people work efficiently and deliver more value. “AI is the new Internet”.

[Justine Moore @venturetwins]

Sometimes people ask me for career advice, and the only thing I can say that applies across basically every role is don’t work for an insecure manager.

[SIKAOFFICIAL🦍 @SIKAOFFICIAL1]

In an extraordinary act of selflessness, Dr. Ama Antwiwaa Adu-Appiah, the Medical Officer who was gifted Gh¢20,000 for accepting posting to the Paga Hospital has used the fund to procure medical equipment and supplies for the hospital.

The items include three nebulizers, two blood pressure monitoring machines, one fetal Doppler machine, one vein finder, one haemoglobin analyzer, five drip stands, five ward screens, one baby weighing scale, perfuser lines, two Veronica buckets, two handwashing basins, six rolls of cotton wool and four packs of bottled water.

The act has since drawn widespread admiration from members of the public and residents.

martial abuse wasnt even considered a thing for a long time. hitting your wife was looked at like spanking your kids. you could legally rape your wife until the 80s

I used to believe in female privilege until I realized that what we consider ‘female privilege’ is actually rooted in sexual objectification and patriarchy. Random kindness in the hopeful exchange for something sexual

One hill I’ll always die on: as a woman, your womb is the holy grail. Only have a child with a man who has shown, through his actions, not just his words, that he treasures you, respects you, and would worship the ground you walk on.

[The Tame Impala 🦌 @ElikemV]

The funniest life experience for me is growing up in a home where I was taught to question everything and read on everything and think critically until they realised that one essential life skill they pumped into me started to affect my position on religion as a child 🤣.

[‏ً @itsnwts]

Woman to woman: You might not realize it, but we're part of the first generation of women with the freedom to build lives on our own terms emotionally, financially, and independently, without needing a husband or children to define us. This level of autonomy is something many of our grandmothers and great-grandmothers never had access to. It's not just progress, it's power. Celebrate it. Own it. You are living a life they only dreamed could be possible.

[Chiamaka Uba @ubarants]

I have noticed a trend with men. When a man does something terrible to a woman, they rarely care about the repercussions of his actions on the woman. They don't care about how it affects her life, her mental health, her future, or the trauma she has to live with.

Instead, the conversation is always about the man.

"Why would he do that to himself?"

"Why would he risk his future?"

"Why didn't he think before doing that?"

Not because of what he did to a woman, or the harm he caused her, but because of what it might cost him.

The Odogwu Asaba case is a perfect example. A young woman lost her life after being raped, and instead of focusing on the fact that a woman had been harmed, traumatized, and ultimately died, so many people were more concerned about how he had ruined his own life. Some even reduced the entire conversation to whether the girl was pretty enough, as if that was the tragedy.

It's always jarring to watch because it reveals how little empathy many people have for women, especially men. A woman can lose her peace, her dignity, her future, or even her life, and somehow the concern is still centered on the man and what he stands to lose.

Men genuinely do not care about women at all. They don't care about what happened to us women. They only care that a man might finally face the consequences of what he did.

Community Health Nurses/Officers have my heart. They do so much with so little.
I hope that one day, they are well equipped with the resources they need to work. 🙏

[Zoraya Black @ZorayaBlack_]

I’ve never looked at someone’s terrible boundaries or lack of confidence and thought, let me come and take advantage of it. In fact when I notice someone isn’t living in their power or agency, I feel compelled to teach them how to be more self assured. So although yes, people should be more self protective. It takes a bad person, to take advantage of someone that clearly isn’t. And they should be called out for it.

[Ụlọma @ulxma]

Yes lmao. People genuinely think liking someone is enough to commit to them when it’s just one variable among many. What about trust, safety, values, communication styles, conflict management, stability, long-term goals… even hygiene… like hello???

[Rachel Moiselle @RachelMoiselle]

What is particularly upsetting is that Marie-France clearly put a lot of time, effort, and money into looking nice yesterday.

She wore an expensive designer dress with a perfectly matching bag, in-style kitten heels, all silver jewellery, a fresh set of nails, makeup with a bold lip, and an updo.

All that careful thought only for people to sneer at her because they think a woman with a normal sized tummy doesn’t have the right to wear a form-fitting dress.

It’s so cruel and, frankly, downright infuriating.
