4 IMPORTANT LIFE LESSONS:

1) If they want to leave, let them
2) In loss and failure there’s opportunity for growth
3) Keep less friends that add more value, than a lot of friends that add little value
4) Let go of anything & anyone that pulls you back from your greatness

very important that you stay FRESH.

This is so top notch , nothing to add.

I really love this two.

So apparently when they got married, the man had no money and they had to live with the wife’s parents.

The wife worked and paid bills yet she never looked at him less or treated him like a nonentity.

In a world where marriage is a purely transactional calculation between men and women these days, this short video is a breath of fresh air

I stopped at a canteen to have some amala in Offa few days ago and a guy approached me.

I'm used to being approached everywhere and most times I even interject with "From social media abi?" once a stranger walks towards me in such manner.

"Sir, I know you? I was a student of the University of Offa and, last year, you came to our school to talk to us on career and encouraged us", the young man started.

He was wearing what appeared to be commercial okada rider jacket.

A few seconds of confusion. Do I have Twitter followers riding okada? This guy looks too polished to be an okada rider.

"I brought someone here", he added.

This looks like someone I need to have deeper discussion with so I gave him my Whatsapp number as I felt he was at the mercy of the passenger he brought.

Not in a hurry as I had thought as I still saw him after I settled at my table, so I asked him to grab a chair and let us talk the talk immediately rather than on Whatsapp later.

His story goes: He was an accounting student, and was encouraged by the career talk I had given last year and he had enrolled for ICAN ATS, passed stage 1 and expecting result of stage 2 he wrote recently. ICAN has 5-6 stages for ATS route (non-graduate route).

"So what happened? Were you rusticated?", I quipped, with each morsel of amala becoming heavier in my hand.

Then series of bombshells: He had lost both parents. He had been fending for himself almost all his life. He is in his mid 20s. He came to Offa from a nearby village five years ago, for NCE. He got admission into UniOffa as DE to 200L. He spent nights working at a poultry and days a student.

More bombshells: He dropped out in 300L when he could not afford school fees. He could not raise the school fees when he resumed 300L. The poultry work was stressful too. So he started doing okada.

More: His CGPA at the end of 200L was 4.0/5.0. A solid CGPA.

UniOffa school fee is less than N400k, one of the cheapest private universities in Nigeria.

ICAN is cheaper (less than N100k per diet?) but I told him immediately that that ICAN will be useless without a degree. He has to go back to school and complete the degree. Serious employer looks at your degree before your professional cert.

I'm on the Governing Council of the school (he didn't know - a surprise - and he probably thought I was just brought as an external speaker at that career event. And I didn't tell him.) I asked him to go back to the school and enquire whether he can resume the 300L that just started (his set are in 400L now but that shouldn't matter).

I have seen people struggle in life. Not the worst experience, but my mind kept flashing back. Someone is dropping out of school, from a brilliant 4-pointer accounting student to an okada rider because, all his life, he couldn't raise sub N400k. An amount some guys spend on a random night at a tier 3 club.

Touching.

Joe will finish that degree. In shaa Allah.

@SaharaReporters This is clear assault and intimidation. In a sensible country, this case will be thrown out in court and the so called commissioner will resign

In the last 6 years, no one has yelled at me at work, not even by mistake. I also haven't experienced anyone being yelled at, no matter how serious the matter is.

So, now when fine professionals describe the horrible things they go through at work, it breaks my heart.

If you yell at your staff, you are a dangerous being. You need deliverance, and you need to be checked.

You are not only killing staff members’ confidence, but you are also creating trauma for them.

Grow up!!!!!!!!!

Forward together.

A moving woman has finally met her fully funded Master’s scholarship at the number one school in the world for Development Studies. 😎

After dedicating October/November 2025 to February 2026 to applying for opportunities, I tried to prepare my mind for anything. Then the rejections started coming in, and I think they got to me a bit.

I mean, I’m a Cannes Lions-winning copywriter. I contributed to Nigeria and West Africa’s first-ever win at the most prestigious international festival of creativity. I’ve executed award-winning marketing communications and advertising campaigns, won pitches for local and international brands, consulted for startups on brand and communications strategy, led creative teams at some of the leading advertising agencies in Africa, led the communications team at Africa’s leading civic tech organization, mentored over 50 copywriters through my creative agency, founded a disability-inclusive creative talent management and advocacy company, led the team that created Nigeria’s first Albinism Advocacy Pageant, published the first-ever dictionary of disability-inclusive language, co-founded an adaptive clothing line for people with disabilities, started a disability-focused media company, and built a gamified disability education tech product over the last ten years of my professional career. Surely I could pitch myself well enough to win a scholarship? 😭

I was the person people came to when they needed to sharpen a pitch or proposal, review an application, or prepare for an interview. Turns out, I was about to be humbled.

I started wondering if it was my 4.45 GPA. Or the nine-year gap since my BSc. Maybe I had waited too long. Maybe I was no longer the kind of candidate these opportunities were looking for. Maybe I even needed to scale my work or publish more research.

When I made the post below, I had stopped expecting anything else. But God, and His perfect humbling twists, started sending the YES-es. Every time I thought I had received my best offer, another one would come.

I’ve achieved a lot of things in my life, but you see this particular win? I still can’t find the words. Just pure gratitude in my heart. God really did His big one. He truly, truly crowned all my hard work and sleepless nights with Sussex. 😉

I’m officially a Commonwealth Scholar, you guys!! 🥳🥳

Rachael’s journey with Scholarships Cafe began in 2024 during one of our masterclasses, and I had the privilege of watching her demonstrate resilience, determination, and consistency throughout her application journey. She stayed committed, embraced the process, and continued to push forward despite the challenges that came her way.

It was even more special to finally meet her in person during our Lagos hangout last year, after following her progress from the early stages of her application journey to this remarkable milestone.

Today, I am excited to celebrate Rachael as she begins her Master’s program in Sweden with funding support through a tuition waiver. Her journey is a testament to what the right strategy, preparation, and persistence can achieve.

Join us during the September Scholarship Accelerator Program Fireside Chat as Rachel shares her experience, lessons learned, and answers your questions live.

Since my post about getting daily job alerts from ChatGPT blew up, let me show you exactly how I do it.

You can set up ChatGPT to search for fresh jobs in your niche and send you a daily list instead of spending hours scrolling through job boards.

Here’s the prompt I use:

“Every day, search the web for newly posted remote [JOB TITLE] roles that match my experience.

Prioritize jobs posted within the last 24 hours and only include roles that are actively hiring.

Search company career pages, reputable startup job boards, LinkedIn Jobs, Wellfound, and other reliable sources.

For every job, provide:
• Company name
• Job title
• Location/eligibility
• Posting date
• Salary, if available
• Direct application link
• 5 relevant keywords
• 5 technical skills required

Exclude expired jobs, duplicate listings, recruitment scams, and roles that explicitly restrict applicants to the US.

Send me the strongest opportunities every day at [TIME].”

Then replace [JOB TITLE] with the type of role you’re looking for.

For example:

Remote Operations Manager

Remote Executive Assistant

Remote Customer Success Manager

Remote Social Media Manager

Remote Project Manager

The trick isn't just asking ChatGPT to “find me jobs.”

Be specific about:

Your role + location eligibility + freshness + where to search + what information you want back.

That’s how you turn ChatGPT from something you ask questions to into a proper job-search assistant.

Save this post. You’ll need the prompt later.
