There is money in this world. Insane money. Your mates are making ridiculous money out there because of information, access, and network. Pressure yourself, you are not doing enough.
I’ve always had this stance. Working is not my problem as far as I get value for my work and I live the lifestyle i want.
Sadly, Nigeria does not pay for value
One of my biggest dreams is to build a company that creates opportunities for women who started later than expected.
Internships and graduate trainee programs for women in their late 20s and 30s. Remote jobs for women in their 40s and 50s.
As a young woman in Nigeria, I think you should invest all your money, energy and everything else you have into leaving Nigeria!
I am not just talking, I’ve spent a lot trying to get my little sister out of Nigeria! This country is not favorable to women!
Most people aren’t making money to enjoy life anymore. It’s just survival and bill payments from one month to the next. 🤦🏽♀️
We’re not broke; we’re just trapped in a system where every naira has a bill waiting for it. 😭💔
Giving yourself deadlines for things that are wat beyond your control (e.g. “I gats make am within two years or else") is a perfect recipe for an unhappy life.
Cos that two years wey you give yourself go complete & nothing go happen, so I wan know wetin you go do from there.
Two weeks after bandits killed a headmaster, bombed 3 escapees, beheaded a teacher, and took 46 Oyo students/staff hostage, Tinubu sends a delegation with empty condolences.
The crisis remains unaddressed. Here’s our reporting on Oyo & SW flashpoints in March and why it matters.
i know that we are tired of the word 'decenter' but please allow just one more. i think that one of the most important things to decenter especially as nigerians is money. now wait, i am not saying don't make money; it is needed to survive esp in this capitalist hell we live in with no safety nets.
however, do not make it the anchor of your life and all your interactions. some of you tolerate terrible friendships because of proximity to money. many stay in toxic relationships because of money, entertain the attention of bottom barrel men also because of money.
if you don't decenter money, every interaction will be transactional to you. you size people up and use money as a metric to decide if you'll be friends with them.
you cannot take a stand on anything, if that stand will affect your pocket, heck you cannot even disagree with rich people on social media, so you remain in their good books.
try decentering money and see how much better your life will be.
Unfortunately, I have to admit that I have not done my best. My current situation is a direct consequence of my incompetence. I suck at doing this life thing.
