Guys, I know I cannot tell you how to live your lives but I don’t think you should allow people that don’t like plantain get too comfortable around you.



✅Admitted into UNILAG for Computer Engineering in 2017. ✅I struggled financially and took on private tutoring and piano gigs outside school to keep up, working with the skill I had at the time. ✅I never had a bedspace from Year 1 to Year 4. I squatted, sleeping on floors, concrete, and chairs countless times. On good days, I slept on a bed that wasn’t in the best shape. ✅Towards the end of 2021, I sold things like paper and drawing instruments to raise 100k and got myself a laptop. ✅I got back to coding in 2022 after a break of 6 years and started Software Engineering. ✅In the same year, I applied to many big tech companies, interviewed with a few, but ended up being served the rejection plate all round (100+). ✅Particularly, I got rejected by Bloomberg in 2022 after the final round (it took about 2 months of interviewing) for a summer internship role. I took the feedback, worked on them, and trusted God. ✅In 2023, I interviewed with Bloomberg again, this time for a SWE Placement Role (to use as my SIWES / IT). Thankfully, from interviewing to getting an offer took only two weeks. To be continued.
