@Rareplus_pharma This is the reality that many people don't know of

@k_ndinteh Absolutely 👏
Pharmacists do much more than dispense medicines. They help make sure every medication is used safely and correctly for better patient care.

Dear English speaking Cameroonians, I’m here to tell you that learning French (at least the spoken part) is the next best thing you could ever do to your career.
8/10 regions of the country is French speaking, and if you must have access to more opportunities, you should be eloquent in both languages.
You can start off with Duolingo or get yourself enrolled in a linguistic center in your region.

My first job in the UK 🇬🇧 was pot washing in a fancy hotel kitchen 😭🇬🇧
On one of my first shifts, I decided to impress everybody with my “hardworking Naija spirit” 😂
The pile of pots and plates they expected to last 5 hours of the shift,
Omo I finished everything in 3 hours 😇😆
I was SO proud of myself.
In my mind I was like:
“Now I can relax small… maybe drink water peacefully and observe life” 😌
So I leaned on the dishwasher machine for literally a few minutes watching the chefs cook.
Little did I know…
All the sous chefs were acting supervisors and monitoring spirits 😭
“Chi is finished pot washing.”
I didn't even see the senior chef 🧑🍳 coming. One minute I was watching a man sauté something, the next minute there was a presence beside me.😪
"Right then. Since you're done —"
What followed next, I cannot fully explain with words, but I will try.😪
I changed tissue rolls in every tissue lock on the wall. I replaced the liquid soaps hanging over all the sinks around the kitchen,
I swept a kitchen that was already clean. I emptied bins that were barely full. I dragged bin trolleys OUTSIDE and cleaned them— with my two hands.
I brought out every single cup and plate that I had just washed, dried them AGAIN, and aligned them in the boxes so very carefully 🤣
The man found me work for the remaining two hours.
Every. Single. Minute. Accounted for.⏱️
I stood there arranging cups 🫖I had already arranged, and that's when the education hit me
This is not Naija 🇳🇬. Nobody here cares that you finished early. If they are paying you for 6 hours, you will WORK for 6 hours.😩
There is no "I've finished, let me rest small."
There is no leaning on the machine with your arms folded. There is no watching the chefs cook like you're a food critic.😩
If you finish your task find another one. Clean something. Organise something. Count the spoons and fork if you have to.
JUST LOOK busy. Because the moment they catch you idle, they will not give you rest they will give you purpose.
And their version of purpose at 2pm on a Tuesday is scrubbing a bin trolley in the cold outside.
That day I learned one of the most important lessons of working in the UK:🇬🇧
Your hours belong to them. All of them. Even the quiet ones.
I never leaned on that machine again. 😅
To every immigrant reading this — especially if you just started working here . Or you intend to work here,
this is not about being lazy or not. It's just a different work culture. The sooner you understand it, the smoother your journey.
No rest at work until you clock out.

Leaving Douala for Buea has honestly been one of the best decisions I have made.
Life here feels calmer and healthier for me.
I go to Limbe almost every week, enjoy nature, clear my mind, and meet intelligent people who inspire me.
I have learned that what you consume every day shapes your life , not just food, but conversations, social media, energy, and rest.
When your environment is peaceful, everything about you starts feeling better.

@EfeTheeGreat You're the poor person and you want to dictate the terms of the prenup🤣? If you cheat what does he get? The money he gave you?

Twitter benefited and X is doing the same. Giving me opportunities people pay millions to get. It came with a recognition. Guess what, I was unverified, had less than 5k followers.
The 237X community had a big role to play.
Use this app decently, wisely, it will reward you. Even if it doesn't, you sell a decent image of yourself.

@Chanyi29_ Someday, they will look back and see that those were their most enjoyable moments as a team of friends 🧡
