Funny story, I genuinely dm’d someone to appreciate him for always engaging my tweets.
He told me he had notifications on for my tweets.
He also told me that he gets more engagements when he drops comments on my tweets, and most times he’s usually the first, he added that his highest engagement has been from a comment on my tweet, plus he’s gotten many followers.
I really did just dm him to appreciate him, I didn’t know all of these things he was telling me.
So, this is for everyone that engages me daily, not for any purpose, just genuinely relating with my tweets, I appreciate.
I try to reply, like or RT many of your tweets as much as I can, I truly appreciate.

My cousin told me two things when I got to the UK as a student. First was. Never do odd jobs; they are a trap. Second, sort out everything related to credit on time, as you are looking for something better to do.
That guy I met at Enfield 22 years ago, who was washing cars, did not have a credit card or a mortgage. He kept sending money home, but it kept losing value, thanks to inflation. Meanwhile, I know someone who has bought over 40 properties using the UK banking system (before the rules changed), and their properties have appreciated.
I have relatives who have lived abroad for decades and are still struggling with the mortgage for one property, and others who have a portfolio of assets, including businesses. The difference was how they started. Those who started with "struggle jobs" somehow maintain that siege mentality and think small.
Survival usually limits people's options, but I learned early that doing software testing gigs from the school library was a more sustainable option than carrying boxes at Tesco. If you have a university degree, you have to think bigger and better than those who do not.
Sola@SolaTheAnalyst
Eight years as a senior data analyst in Nigeria 🇳🇬 Landed in Canada 🇨🇦 and spent months getting rejected for customer service jobs. Apple Store. Call centres. Everything. Then I walked into a cold calling interview. Loud music. Phones everywhere. They handed me a script. Made my first cold call. The lady heard my accent and ended the call immediately.😭 (God abeg x 3) I kept going. Got through the day and got the job offer on the spot. 35k a year. Five days in office. 8am starts. I asked if that was the best they could do. He said yes. I took the offer letter home. Showed my wife. She looked me in the eye and said that was below me. That week I stopped applying sideways and went back to data. Three months later I was hired as lead analyst in a Fortune 500 company. Nigerian professionals living abroad, what was the moment that made you realize you needed to stop chasing survival jobs?

That sex part always makes me laugh because I vividly remember when my wife turned me down for sex many times after minor disagreements. Every time she said no, I simply replied, “Okay,” and moved on.
She then started going through my phone at night to see if I was cheating. She found nothing. You should have seen the frustration on her face. She became so restless.
Later, when she was finally ready to have sex, I turned her down many times too. She almost went crazy. Ever since then, once I say I’m ready, she’s ready too.
One thing I will never do is beg for sex. I’m a very good-looking man, got no worries.
Neo Officiall@neo_officialll
You must mentally get to a level where you do not ever have to beg a woman for anything. Not to love you. Not to stay with you. Not to fvck you. She doesn't want sex?, turn & sleep or call another woman. She doesn't love you?, find another woman. She wants to leave?, LET HER.

Dear Graduate, Come closer. Let me speak to you as someone who has walked this same road, not from a place of comfort, but from deep concern and experience.
1. The first six months after graduation is not a time to relax or celebrate freedom. Instead of resting, learn a valuable vocational or digital skill and master it.
2. Actively research and apply for scholarships for a master's degree. Commit to applying for at least five opportunities every month. Many exist online if you search diligently.
3. Develop the habit of reading widely. Now free from academic limits, build broad knowledge in politics, business, and even religion. These insights will serve you well regardless of your field.
4. Avoid excessive clubbing and parties. This is a season for growth, not comfort. If possible, create healthy discomfort for yourself.
5. Consider independent living rather than returning home immediately, unless your parents have a clear plan for you.
6. Never declare "there are no jobs" until you have applied consistently for at least one year. Jobs exist in Nigeria, and people are getting hired every day, often without connections. Be willing to start small. Even a 100k salary is a worthy beginning. Do not join the chorus of those who never tried.
7. Consider business seriously. If you lack capital, seek an internship or apprenticeship with someone experienced. The skills, knowledge, and connections you gain will be invaluable, and some may even pay you a small stipend.
8. Make yourself available for leadership roles in church or community groups. Serve with excellence. Many opportunities and breakthroughs have come through faithful service in such positions.
9. Guard your finances. Avoid spending what little you have on relationships. Focus instead on saving and investing wisely.
10. If your parents run a business, join them eagerly. Bring your education and fresh ideas to help improve and grow it.
Most importantly, nurture your spiritual life and be discerning about what you share with others. Stay focused and serious. Protect your progress.
Finally, show deep gratitude to your parents and all who supported you. If you have a father, kneel and receive his blessings. It can change the course of your life for the better.
You are equipped. Stay determined, stay humble, and keep moving forward. Your best days are ahead.
Above all, love God.

I almost deleted it after 12 hours...
The numbers were low, the silence was so loud, and I was this close to pulling it down.
But I left it and then I came online 18hours later...
Nigerians showed up.
Africans showed up.
People of colour from corners of this earth I have never seen showed up. Follows, amplifications, criticisms that made me think harder, suggestions that made the vision bigger, collaborations I did not dare to dream of.
I am shaking a little writing this.
This was never about me. It was never about the numbers. It was about the child somewhere who will one day open an atlas and see themselves.
Not approximated.
Not translated.
Themselves in black skin, brown skin, albino skin. Every shade this earth made when it decided to be generous.
They will learn in their own image. They will see science wearing their complexion. They will not have to imagine themselves in another colour
That is what you amplified.
That is what your retweet carried.
Thank you does not feel like enough. But it is what I have right now, and I mean it from the floor of my chest.
We are just getting started...

I am Nigerian, and right now my dream is bigger than me. Only about 4.5% of medical literature globally are represented on Black skin. That means millions of Black patients are learning from systems that barely look like them. Medical students study diseases on skin tones that are not their own. Doctors are trained with visual references that often fail Black bodies. That gap has consequences. So I am deciding to build towards changing it. I’m starting with a book. But the larger vision is far beyond that. I want to help build software and medical visualization tools that make Black medical representation impossible to ignore. This is not just about diversity aesthetics, this is about accuracy, education, visibility and better healthcare outcomes. One day, I want a Black child studying medicine anywhere on earth to see themselves fully represented in what they learn. And I believe we can build that future.

To the graduates already in camp. It's good to attend all the trainings NYSC and the CBN will bring to you.
But be carful with certifications..
Most of the certifications that will be offered to you in camp will likely be useless when you are job hunting.
It's not because they are not useful but because you don't know how your career will pan out.
What the point doing HSE with hope of getting oil and gas jobs and you end up in an insurance company. HSE is useful in every job but most companies have HSE units handling health and safety at work.
Most of the organisations who come to camp to market these certifications just want to make money. They won't tell you that some of the certifications won't be beneficial to you because you don't even know the industry where you will get your first job.
If you are in camp and you are interested in certifications, why not go for the ones that will improve your chances of getting a job especially if you already know the career you want.
Go for ICAN if you see yourself in finance rather than do NIM.
Go for chartered institute of marketing if you are interested in sales instead of HSE.
Some of you do these certifications because you don't want to be left out.
Almost all the corpers in your platoon are acquiring one certifications or the other and you don't want to be left out.
It's better you spend your time during your service year improving your computer skills.
Being adept at Microsoft word, excel and power point will better on your CV that one mushroom certification that has no bearing in your job application.
I wish I had someone to tell me his when I served.
Have a great day guys..

While serving, take your PPA and CDS seriously.
Your PPA job can be used as work experience on your CV.
You can use your activities during CDS as volunteering on your CV too.
For example if your CDS is with FRSC and you partake in all their activities even helping in controlling traffic..
It's volunteering.
If you are in the Medical CDS and you had medical outreaches where you helped teach people about their health, did vaccinations or did medical checks for them.
It's volunteering too.
This can help you when looking for a job.
It's not absolute. But it can help.

Corporate life will teach you that knowing the job is only half the battle.
The real skill is staying calm in meetings, reading the room, managing ego, receiving vague feedback, and not replying emails with your real thoughts.
