I got honored by a professional association in New York ❤️
They gave me a top award and one of the perks was that I would also appear on the billboard in Times Square.
Of course I took a day trip to NYC to see it live 😂🥹✨
My dad 10 years ago: *Calling family meeting because of my career choice* and saying "My daughter is about to make a mistake"

As a yahoo boy or girl, you’re a thief.
It can never be justified. People suffer to make money and you want to scam them and in your mind you have a career?
You’re a thief and I hope you get caught and rot in jail.
Quote me anywhere. You are a thief.
My brothers and I attend different parishes now since we’ve all grown up and scattered.
For my moms birthday today, we secretly booked mass in my parents church for my moms surprise thanksgiving ✨
We didn’t attend the mass, we hid in our cars so she wouldn’t see us.
I did it 🚀
My first day

I’m excited about all I’m going to learn in the next 18 months & I can’t wait to use the knowledge gained in this program to impact my work & 10x my growth ✨
Excited about meeting new people too ❤️
It’s going to be a great year 😊 🎉
I wrote a book ✨
"The cloud" can be abstract for beginners, and once upon a time, that was me.
This book will introduce you to cloud computing, the different career paths for cloud engineering and how to navigate them.

LEAD, after 15 months of hardwork, sweat and a lot of multitasking.
I started this journey in March last year (2022). I did 9 courses across core leadership competencies and business fundamentals, and I was…
My 26th year was incredible. I had a lot of “new’s” and “firsts”
- Moved to a new country
- Started a new job
- Started a new non profit organization in Nigeria
- Got a new diploma from one of the biggest business schools in the world
- Made new friends
(And other private…
It’s my birthday! 🥳✨
Dear God, I am imperfect and flawed, but you’ve been amazing to me. I’m not there yet, but I can see the obvious growth and you’re molding me into someone truly exceptional ❤️
Thank you for accepting the invitation into my life. I continuously pray for…
I hate when people downplay education. I know people that “school” changed their lives.
One example: A guy from a poor family that finished with a first class and got a scholarship to Oxford Uni.
That move changed his life forever.

I'm making an announcement at 6pm today. Stay tuned ❤️
To put it lightly (because there’s a lot more):
I got promoted twice in three years at one of the biggest companies in the world, while writing two books and attending one of the best business schools in the world - all simultaneously ✨
Please allow me to humbly re-introduce myself 🥹✨

Software Engineer, AWS
Software Engineer, Wise
Software Engineer, Bloomberg
Software Engineer, Uber
…this wasn’t the case 4 years ago. Nigerian devs are growing 🚀❤️
It’s never too late to do anything. You get multiple chances until you’re actually dead.
Get that next degree, attempt that career switch again, find God again, find love again, start that diet again.
Just try again.

for new university graduates 🚀⚡️
📆 Thursday, August 18th
⏱ 7pm WAT
Set a reminder ⬇️
I think we need to let more people know that if they’re interested in PhDs for whatever reason, they don’t need an MSc. All they need is a supervisor.
When you start the PhD, you’d get an MPhil during the process but you can start without the masters degree.
Had a DM conversation with
@chinedu_10
about this, and he asked that I share my thoughts to help other people learn. So here goes...
I used to have this opinion, but I've learned that global recruiting is NOT straightforward.
I promise you - If they could hire Africans and…
I woke up to fantastic news 🥳
I won a tech impact award in the US, the award ceremony is in Vegas!! FREAKING LAS VEGAS! 😭😭😭

Tomorrow is international women’s day
Here are some things you can do for the women in your life:

Life is stressful. Do something to make them smile
Tech bros give talks in “asewo” shorts all the time. But where you draw the line is in a short ankara dress I wear.
You people have deep issues, and if I see one more comment on that dress, maka chukwu you will not like me this morning.
Yesterday, I was recognized as a leader in Las Vegas, USA. 🚀
I'm thankful for all of these recognitions and networking opportunities, I do not take them for granted. 🩷
I also spoke on a panel where we discussed how we can use the cloud to drive social change continuously. It…
I'm in nerd mode this morning so let me explain.
Black absorbs heat (that's why more people say it's easier to feel hot when you wear black outfits)
White (or light colors generally) reflect heat. And that's why people like to wear light colored clothes at the beach.

I spoke at a tech event months ago & the topic was centered around career growth.
During the session, the focus was around growing on social media and building a brand (as a software engineer) and I was heartbroken.
No one seemed to care about the actual work or career ladder.

Dear developer,
Nothing is ever 100% perfect. Don’t put pressure on yourself.
If your favorite apps and APIs were perfect, there wouldn’t be need for app updates and versioning wouldn’t be a thing because it would have been perfect from day one.
Code. Learn. Code again 💕

I was the most confident and outspoken child you’d have ever met at that time - early 2000s.

I have questions. Not trying to trigger anyone, but I’d genuinely like to know how people think.
1. If marriage isn’t an achievement, why do people say “congratulations” when they see wedding pictures?
2. If sex is “just a sport”, why do you get angry when your partner cheats?
Whats more embarrassing is that some people that have DM'd me in the past for laptop are liking that tribalism tweet.
I'm very petty, so I'm blocking the tweet author and every single person liking that tweet. I don't need you to see my TL ever in your life.
There are different classes of companies hiring tech talent in Nigeria.

Like law or medicine, tech is a profession, not a get rich scheme.
It can NEVER be compared to Yahoo.
The people you see in tech today making (what you think is) money, put in at least 2 years of work.
Stop misleading people by telling them to join tech for the “money”.
My friends gave me my first ever surprise party 🥹
I almost caught them halfway. Now I see why they've never surprised me 😂
Nonetheless, I won the friendship lottery and I'm happy to have all of them in my life ❤️✨

It's sad when I think about it, but there's a lot of craziness nowadays in the way candidates are reviewed, and I'd tell you how.

In 2021, my female friends WON
- 1 got a job at Morgan Stanley
- 4 got married
- 2 had babies
- 2 bought dope cars
- 1 bought a house
- 1 got global recognition for her business.
- 1 became a chartered accountant
If this isn’t God, I really don’t know what it is.
I got tired of seeing many people that have gotten digital skills and certificates still jobless, so I decided to do something about it.
I'm grateful to everyone on the team helping to pull this off. I love all of you ❤️

This is very myopic. Stop putting women in a box.

Academic excellence is not a piece of cake.
You can't graduate top of your class by being a club boy or girl.
