This is how I got my first job. It wasn’t even in the field I studied so hard for, and the salary was really low. But I took it anyway. Six months later, my salary doubled. The boss was incredibly generous, buying lunch for nearly 40 of us almost every other day. If it was your birthday, you’d receive money (₦50k and above). Bonuses were huge too, anywhere from 4x to 10x your salary depending on performance. All of this happened within just six months… and I got promoted. My second boss even lived on my street, she’d pick me up and drop me off most days of the week. I never once regretted taking that job. Within a year, I met my husband (not at work though), and eventually relocated to the UK. Honestly, everything in my life started getting better the moment I said yes to that opportunity.

If you’re unemployed, why decline a job just because the pay is low? It’s better to earn something while you search for something better, right?

We can't keep waiting for the world to bring industrial automation to Nigeria. We have to start building it ourselves. After 300+ hours of non-stop fabrication, spending more than 5kg in material, and gathering hundreds of individual components, this is the foundation of a 6-axis robotic arm built entirely from scratch. They say hardware is hard. Doing it here is even harder. But holding the pieces of what this could become is a feeling I can't quite describe. Let's see if all the math was right. Assembly begins tomorrow.

I’m planning to build four robots in 2026. 1 Something for the kids (ok, me)- maybe a bigger spider bot 2 Some automation mechanism like a conveyor system because mechatronics 3 Something inspired by human anatomy 4 The main project for the year, an industrial grade robotic arm
