Career with Idris

For years, I have watched brilliant Africans carry certificates, skills, and ambition, only to sit at home waiting for someone to give them a chance. I have watched that waiting turn confidence into doubt, and doubt into the quiet belief that maybe they were never good enough. I have read messages from graduates who sent hundreds of applications and never received a single interview. I have met talented people who kept saying, “I can do the work,” while knowing they had no project, portfolio, referral, or visible proof to make anyone believe them. That reality is painful, and I am tired of merely talking about unemployment while millions of capable Africans remain underpaid, invisible, and locked outside the rooms where decisions are made. That is why I am narrowing everything I build around two projects: Sqwads.com and JobHackerz.com Sqwads will help people collaborate, build real projects, create visible proof, and turn their skills into income. Job Hackerz will help them understand the job market, communicate their value, compete intelligently, and stop sending applications into silence. We are building more than courses, content, or another online community that makes noise and changes nothing. We are building a bridge from potential to proof, and from proof to opportunity, so choose your path today. Build with Sqwads, get hired through Job Hackerz. Share this with someone who is tired of being overlooked.

You go say you wan quickly finish a project in 1hr, Nigerian Network

Getting a SIWES opportunity in this dispensation is brutal. Entry-level and internship opportunities are no more. In all you do, don't miss out on our next intake at Sqwads.com

@i_am_Midely Interesting

@iakinlabii Talent is everywhere visibility is not. 📍

I created these banners for this next chapter, but I want you to help me choose. Which one captures the mission best?

“I refused to sleep with supervisor. He gave me E in my project and two other courses, making it 10 unit courses Witham significant E.” People are wicked

@SolaTheAnalyst Wahala

If you want someone out of your life completely just lend them $100 in Toronto. You will never see or hear from them again.

Learnt a new word today, "Almanjiri Activism"

A few days ago, I made a post about how the actions of a few internet fraudsters continue to damage the opportunities available to honest Nigerians, and within minutes, someone asked me why I wasn't also talking about the good Nigerians making us proud around the world. That comment made me realize that many people have quietly developed an unhealthy sense of entitlement toward creators. Some people genuinely believe that the moment you build an audience, your platform stops belonging to you and starts belonging to everyone else. If you don't speak about the topic they care about today, they immediately conclude that you are biased, insensitive, compromised, or intentionally avoiding the truth. Creators are not blogs. Creators are not newspapers. Creators are not television stations with a responsibility to cover every trending topic before midnight. Most creators started because they cared deeply about solving one problem, not because they wanted to become the internet's customer care representative. The irony is that the same people shouting, "Use your platform," rarely use theirs for anything meaningful. They have WhatsApp, Facebook, X, Instagram, LinkedIn, community groups, churches, mosques, and family meetings, yet they are waiting for somebody with followers to carry a burden they have refused to carry with the influence already in their hands. One of the biggest mistakes you can make as a creator is trying to satisfy everybody. The day you begin chasing every trending conversation is the day your audience forgets what you actually stand for, because people do not follow specialists expecting them to become general news broadcasters overnight. I have chosen my lane deliberately. I want to solve unemployment, underemployment, career confusion, and the gap between education and employability in Africa. Every post I make, every project I build, and every conversation I start will point back to that mission because that is the problem I have committed my life to solving. If you are tired of waiting for opportunities instead of creating them, and you want practical guidance instead of endless motivation, then Job Hackerz is where you belong. Follow this page, stay close, and join a community that is obsessed with one thing: helping you become the candidate employers cannot ignore.

@jon_d_doe Make them smell nice for their next hustle

@Temidaisy_2 which school ?

@iakinlabii I thought I'm alone, the same thing happened to me too

"Anytime I remember how Nigeria has shattered my dream, hot tears just fall from my eyes. I wrote JAMB for 4 years chasing Medicine and Surgery. On the 4th attempt, I settled for Medical Laboratory Science. I got into a state university and gave it my all for 5½ years exams, practicals, sleepless nights. We finally signed out, only for the school to tell us they lost accreditation a long time ago. Right now, we have no statement of results. No license. Nothing.Kai… if this country do you."

@SeemberOota 9.5 years

@iakinlabii Where do we go from here? After all the money spent,time,energy ah

@Talomo01 they are not meant to be operating when they took the acreditation from them or better still inform your student of the situatioin

@iakinlabii Just imagine. This type of institution is supposed to be sued. 😢💔

@TheonlyDebs This loss of accreditation happens, and students don't know sometimes

@iakinlabii What??? Pls let us verify before picking a school Years and effort just got wasted. It is really sad

@TheonlyDebs it works for X too

@iakinlabii You just made a mistake You included LinkedIn 😭

There are 5 types of people on this app and not all of them are useful for your career. Here’s the brutally honest breakdown —and who you should actually follow if you want to get hired in 2025: 1. The Influencers They post every day and have thousands of followers. Their content is often motivational, fun, and gets lots of likes. You’ll see personal stories, life lessons, or light career advice. Why follow them: ~ To feel encouraged ~ To learn how to show up more ~ To see how people build online presence But remember, most of them aren’t hiring or focused on job search. 2. The Thought Leaders They share deep ideas and start meaningful conversations. They talk about how industries are changing, how leadership should evolve, or how we can work better. Their content makes you think. Why follow them: ~ To understand where your industry is going ~ To learn how to communicate your thoughts ~ To stay curious and open-minded 3. The Recruiters and Headhunters These are the people whose job is to connect talent with companies. They may not post every day, but when they do, they share job openings. Some talk about what they look for in candidates. Some give honest advice. Why follow them: ~ To know who’s hiring ~ To learn how recruiters think ~ To start building relationships quietly If you’re job hunting, they are the ones to follow closely. 4. The Industry Practitioners These are the people doing the Job You want. They’re simply working and sharing small updates from their daily life. Their posts may be simple: a new tool they tried, a project they worked on, or something they learned on the job. Why follow them: ~ To see how your target role works in real life ~ To learn how to speak the language of the job ~ To find inspiration for what to build or practice This is where you get insider knowledge. 5. The Career Coaches They talk directly to people like you especially if you’re lost, stuck, or unsure how to move forward. They share things you may not learn in school, like how to position yourself, how to write your CV, how to show up online, how to build confidence. Why follow them: ~ To get practical guidance ~ To feel less alone in the process ~ To learn what works in today's job market Follow a mix of all 5 but engage most with the ones who are closest to the doors you want to open. Because on LinkedIn, who you follow shapes what you learn. And what you learn determines how fast you grow.
