The whole world is going through it atm but if you’re under 40 and from a third world country and have the means, COME to the UK.
You can never compare light to darkness. Give yourself 5 years, be intentional, the ROI is worth it.

I can’t advise my enemy to come to the UK again for any degree. You will cry blood, one penny no one will give you. Everything has changed.

@AiWithSaira Stop demarketing @ChatGPTapp because you don't know how to prompt it. I have used it for 2 years now and it only gets better with Plagiarism and AI detector giving 80% - 100% success. Just know how to phrase your prompt.

i think one of the healthiest things i've ever learned is that you should allow others to reintroduce themselves to you, even your closest friends. Give people space to become who they are without assuming you know who they are just because you've been friends/family for years.

I’ve noticed something.
Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala studied at Harvard, ran Nigeria’s Ministry of Finance, now leads the WTO yet when she speaks, she is unapologetically Nigerian.
Same with Chimamanda Adichie. Global mind. Nigerian soul.
But watch some people who left Nigeria 6 months ago suddenly full foreign accent, complete rebrand, identity reset.
Here’s the hard truth nobody tells you:
No matter how much accent you acquire, that society will never fully accept you as one of them.
Authenticity is not a disadvantage.
It’s leverage.
Indians understood this early. They went global without deleting themselves, accent, culture, confidence intact. And today, they dominate boardrooms, tech, medicine, and politics worldwide.
Trying to sound “less Nigerian” doesn’t make you global.
It makes you forgettable.
The world rewards originals, not imitations.
Be excellent. Be global.
But be yourself first.
Nigeria needs to hear this.

@MisolaofJesus One benefit I’ve enjoyed in the UK is strong consumer protection. I once paid £60 to a scammer, reported it to my bank, and they refunded me. My bank contacted the scammer’s bank, and the money was recovered from the fraud.

Hi. I remember having this conversation with a group of colleagues months ago, who referenced Rwanda as a model for unified ethnicity in Nigeria.
Here's what many of them did not realize:
The war in Rwanda was not originally a war between ethnic groups. The Hutus weren't a different ethnic group from the Tutsis. They spoke the same native language, are the same food, had the same traditions. The difference between them, at first, was social and economic class.
Historically, the Tutsis were wealthier cattle owners, while the Hutus were mostly farmers. But when colonial rule came, those class distinctions were hardened; identity cards were introduced, and “Hutu” and “Tutsi” became fixed labels.
By history, the Tutsis has more education and access to administration. While they were in the minority as citizens, they were the majority in top positions.
Simply put: pre-colonialism, a Hutu could have been a Tutsi, not by tribe, but by class.
That's why the Rwandan Genocide is a painful lesson on what happens when tensions are not addressed early. But we need to also understand it clearly as well: it wasn't ethnicity that was the issue. It was class.
Hence, while Rwanda's story is inspiring for unity, it is still not a perfect model for uniformed ethnicity in Nigeria. Our divisions run deeper; we have different languages, distinct cultures and traditions. Sometimes, people of same ethnic group even have different languages. It's unrealistic to ask them to drop who they are at their core.
The goal shouldn't be to erase our differences but to build unity in spite of them. Everyone must have an appreciation of the other and their roots, even when they are different in language and culture.

My team went to Kigali for team bonding. While we were having a conversation this morning, I asked two Rwandan ladies their tribe and they responded “Rwanda”. I asked again and they still responded “Rwanda”. I now asked myself can Nigeria ever get here?
