Promise Obasi

° 27/07/2004 Obama was introduced to the American people. That night in Boston.. He delivered a speech so good that experts say: "Without that speech, he wouldn't have been President" I've spent 7 hrs dissecting it. And it's one of the best VSL's I've seen A 9mins read. 🧵

° Brace Man Messi finally makes it three!! 🐐

° Pharmacology Practical Demonstration.

@KingTaofeeq_ Got an employment offer yesterday as well. Congrats

Gave myself one month post induction to get this internship hunt over with. Did it with some days to spare Alhamdullilah.

@orxsco I raise you OTC

One mnemonic I don’t think any pharmacist can ever forget is 'ADME'.😂

° Holla @WhatsApp, how do you plan to run personalised ads on an "end-to-end encrypted" messaging platform?

° Is this what being offered employment feels like?

Ngozi Ezenwa-Ohaeto's 433-page encyclopedia of Igbo Names is titled, Afamefuna. As the book explains on page 33, 'Afamefuna (Afam)' is a male name that means 'May I not lose my name'. 'It is a prayer for a lasting linage which is often assured by having male children.' I have a habit of asking people - at a first meeting - the meaning and ancestry of their names. That habit has enriched my education greatly, although I have also suffered some blowback: a Somali lady once rebuked me, thinking that I was trying to identify her clan in order to pigeonhole and discriminate against her.🤷 Books like Afamefuna might reduce my rudeness some, though I find that my curiosity brings insight. Years ago, I asked my friend, Amulo, about his unique name. Turns out it was short for Amulonaiweagwusia (We're all smiles now, right? But I'm still angry with you). Turns out that at the birth of her firstborn son his mum had been irritated by the celebration of the same neighbours who had mocked her throughout her years of barrenness. So, she gave him a name that would rebuke those neighours every time they called him. By the way, 'Amulo' is not in the encyclopedia. Neither is that memorable name, Uwachommadu (The world needs a real person), about which I have written previously. But in the last two pages of the book the author lists some names whose meaning she is still seeking for future edition. Cultural preservation is always a communal project. I find that the ancestors packed a long more baggage into the names they gave their children. Modern couples are more likely to pick a name for how it sounds. I reckon corporate-sounding names will find more takers today. For the ancestors, names were often short stories and histories, entrancing nuggets for writers to sink their imaginations into. The schism in naming styles and religious beliefs between past and present generations of Igbo families means that large tranches of Igbo names have slipped and are slipping into oblivion. There are not likely to be many Ogbenyeanus (A pauper should not marry me) in Gen Zee and Gen Alpha. There is probably less variety in Igbo names today than at any time in history. This validates Prof. Ezenwa-Ohaeto's book. Afamefuna should make namings a more thoughtful exercise, with a lot more choices for new parents. I could say a lot more on the philosophy, sociology and gendering of names, or open up some of those short stories and histories concatenated into some deeper Igbo names but, no... don't get me started on names tonight!

@DamienJosh56755 Keep it up

It took my friends for me to realize that I was talented at Chess. I went from being unrated to being rated 1840+ FIDE in about two years then I went from 1840+ to 2060+ in less than a year... In fact a 2120+ live rating. Now I'm taking Chess a bit more seriously...

@Rxblaize Congrats 👏🏽

A young girl who started her academic journey with so much fear that she wouldn’t make it because of past traumatic academic failures is now about to take her Oath and be inducted into the Pharmacy Council of Nigeria on the 21st of May, 2026.

@Eren_Jaeg3r 😂 Ok once you hit 1300, we can play.

@Promise_cee Just say you want to flog me 😂😂

Finally, dawg I was at the brink of defeat, grateful to my knight for dancing around and finally sacrificing itself for this victory.

This thread is for the Igbo musicians we grew up listening to

@TekoalyOlli Could be a hit.. you need a larger audience to hear you out.

I got tired of wondering if the people in my feed were real. So I built a social media where you'd never have to wonder. Every post is verified. No AI or bots. Just real people posting real things. Join the waitlist.

cracked in harmattan. Yeah, life wasn't just beautiful cause we were economically stable or that we could afford simple needs and have much more to spare, but things then didn't loose their meaning.
