It took me 5 months and about 25 interviews to land my first job in Canada 🇨🇦 But there is one I will never forget. I applied for a Canadian government role. French was listed as a requirement. I applied anyway. Got through the first stage. No French was tested. Second and final stage. I joined the call. Bonjour bonjour. (As how?) I thought that was just the greeting. The interviewer then calmly informed me that the entire interview would be conducted in French. I could feel my intestines shift. I said okay. A certified Duolingo dropout sitting in silence. The first question came. 45 seconds of full Québécois French. I waited for them to finish. Then I slowly asked if they could repeat the question in English. They did. Politely. I answered. Then they asked if I had any questions for them. That was it. Interview over. I never got a rejection email. Not one. They were too pissed to even send it 😭 What is your craziest job interview moment in diaspora or back home?

There are a lot of operational miracles in these Q1 2026 results sha. Make we gather reason am The numbers reported for “Palm oil produce” look extremely aggressive relative to the company’s stated 61-acre plantation capacity unless the business is materially involved in aggregation/trading from third-party farms, maybe they have people selling the fruits to them asides that. To generate ₦92.3M in one quarter from 61 acres: • Revenue per acre would be roughly ₦1.5M in just 90 days. • Even at ₦1,350/liter wholesale pricing, that implies roughly 68,000+ liters of oil in Q1 alone. That appears significantly above standard yield expectations for that land size according to reports i saw when making this post. Now compare that to Nigeria’s established palm oil giants: Presco PLC → 100,000+ acres ₦95.0B revenue → ~₦950k per acre Okomu Oil → 47,000+ acres → ₦58.9B revenue → ~₦1.25M per acre Zichis Agro → 61 acres → ₦92.3M revenue → ~₦1.51M per acre So Zichis is effectively implying per-acre economics that rival or even exceed two of the most established, vertically integrated, and mechanized palm oil companies in Nigeria. Maybe Okomu and Presco should start looking for lands in ogun State for cultivation so we can have more revenue with less land size 🤣 Then the margins: Q1 2026 Gross Margin: • Presco → ~49–51% • Okomu → Strong expansion, but still with multi-billion-naira production costs • Zichis → 73.2% In an inflation-heavy agro environment where feed, fertilizer, logistics, and labor costs remain elevated, a margin profile that is far above industry leaders naturally raises questions. Then look at the growth rates, guy! • Palm Oil: ₦11.2M → ₦92.3M (+717% YoY) • Egg Revenue: ₦49.3M → ₦135.3M (+175% YoY) • Total Revenue: ₦118.1M → ₦420.0M (+256% YoY) Nigeria should just leave oil and focus on agriculture fully Dangote and BUA should consider the sector as well 🤔 Yet inventory only increased about 55% to ₦328.1M. My question is if I'm invested in the company What exactly drove this scale jump? Is the company aggregating third-party produce? How sustainable are these margins? Does operating cash flow support the reported earnings? Do biological assets and inventory movement fully reconcile with revenue growth? This is not an accusation of fraud. But these results absolutely deserve deeper scrutiny, stronger disclosures, and close attention from auditors and investors alike. No to now talk of the floating and outstanding shares. It's well, sha

I keep hearing people say rent is still cheap up North in the UK. Like some people are paying £500-£600 for decent 3-bedroom flats while London is out here charging premium tears for tiny spaces. How true is it abeg? Which areas are actually affordable? Asking for a friend 🙊

200ml Alomo that is N700 in Nigeria is £6.30 in the UK. That is over N11,000, just so you know if you planning relocation.
