Day 1 of being a 500L student. May Allah make it easy for me and my colleagues.

I completed exercises on the "while" loop, which covered the use of conditional tests in a "while" statement, active variables, "break" statements, and loops that never end in a program. Still learning and improving ✌️.

@QaysTayynntf شكرا يا أخي

@Third___born مصمم أزياء مبدع وأنيق وهذا واضح في الأعمال الرائعة التي تقدمها. الإبداع لا حدود له.

We’re in an era where having multiple sources of income is important. There’s no harm in having a degree, having a handwork you can leverage on, and also learning a skill. Well, I’m a fashion designer, and I made these beautiful clothes myself.

@Gharneeyart20 Welldone.

A Stressful Day😐

@abdul_uxui Congratulations.

Life update 🥺❤️

First Eid as a graduate-to-be, bi’idhnillah.

Alhamdulilah rabil al-aameen

الحمد لله الذي أحيانا بعد ما أماتنا وإليه النشور.

@PetiteParrot Allahu Akbar.

Heard a very beautiful sound today. Allah is Great ❤️

@_ZainabOladokun Giving up is not an option, and it will never be an option.

I feel like I've put in so much energy into LinkedIn and I've not really gotten anything tangible in return. I've even felt disconnected from the app for a while now. But yeah, we keep going.

Be honest, which OS are you using currently?

"Sad" has 3 letters, but so does "Joy." "Fall" has 4 letters, but so does "Rise." "Curse" has 5 letters, but so does "Bless." "Ignore" has 6 letters, but so does "Listen." "Enemies" has 7 letters, but so does "Friends." "Immature" has 8 letters, but so does "Maturity." "Ignorance" has 9 letters, but so does "Knowledge." "Negativity" has 10 letters, but so does "Positivity." You have two realities to choose from. It's up to you to decide which one you want to live.

There's so much power in believing that everything will work out even when you don't know how or when. You just believe that it will.

@SirJarus MashãAllah.

I share a lot on social media (& I know). Some even call it oversharing (yeah, I know). But results of younger followers & mentees like these keep me going. He's been a follower from my Facebook days. Hardly any week I don't receive messages like this. One of the greatest things you can ever do in life is to build a house for your mum once things start falling in place for you. Congrats to the young man.

@_ZainabOladokun Aameen.

Dear God, Some days feel heavier than others, and that’s okay. Please help us carry today with a little more ease. Give us clarity where we feel confused, peace where we feel overwhelmed, and hope for better days ahead. Amen 🤲🏽🤍

I've been busy sewing for the past few days. As a fashion designer, can you give your outfit to another designer to sew?

@oluwalosheyii Alhamdulillah.

Alhamdulilah rabil al-aameen🙏

@nobod3yyyy The blessings for listening to one's parent >>> Congratulations.

I’m Tomi, 25, a UNILAG graduate. My NYSC posting was to the Ministry of Education, Lagos Island. My heart dropped. I lived in Abule Egba with my aunt. Transport from Abule Egba to CMS cost ₦1,500–₦2,000 one way by danfo and bus, ₦3,000–₦4,000 round trip. Five days a week would mean ₦60,000–₦80,000 monthly. My allowance was ₦77,000. I’d have nothing left. Camp ended Friday. I was to resume Monday. I called my mum in Ibadan. “Mum, I can’t. After transport, I’ll have ₦0 for food. I’ll reject it.” She said, “Tomi, go on Monday. Don’t decide from fear.” Monday at 5:30 AM, I boarded a danfo. It cost ₦1,800 to CMS. I reached the Ministry at 10 AM, one hour late, sweaty, stressed, and ashamed. I was ready to be shouted at. Instead, the HOD, Mrs. Akin, asked, “Where do you stay?” “Abule Egba, ma.” She paused. “You people from the Mainland are suffering. Go to Room 12. We just started a hybrid team.” Room 12 had four other corps members. “You’ll come in only on Mondays and Wednesdays for meetings. Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays you work from home. We’ll give you a ₦10,000 monthly stipend for data.” Mondays and Wednesdays: ₦3,500 × 2 days × 4 weeks = ₦28,000. Allowance ₦77,000 + stipend ₦10,000 - transport ₦28,000 = ₦59,000 left for food, savings, and sending home. Month 2, Mrs. Akin said: “Your captions are good. My friend needs a social media manager for ₦90,000/month.” I took it. Month 9: Allowance ₦77k + side gig ₦90k = ₦167k/month. Last week of service, Mrs. Akin gave me a letter: “Communications Officer. ₦200,000/month. Resume after your service.” I moved out of my aunt’s to a flat in Yaba for ₦450k/year. I almost rejected the posting to Lagos Island. Now I’m glad the one that almost broke me is the one that paid me 🥹

@_ZainabOladokun Hehe, I wasn't active then. 😅

Posted my picture and deleted in under ten minutes 🥲 Told my sister I posted my picture, she said I shouldn't delete but I still ended up deleting. Wooo, I've so many things to work on.😌
