When television was about coming out, people were against it as they thought it would replace radio. It's 2023, and we still have radio stations.  Even with the advent of YouTube and Podcasting, newsreporters and radio anchors still have their jobs very much active. If anything, YouTube and other channels amplified the efficiency with which they disseminated information. Before the internet and subsequently Google mail, people had to handwrite their letters and wait for months before their post delivered. Gmail and like products put an end to that. But we are still writing letters via email. Even with logistics delivery. It used to take longer. Now, I'm hearing drones are delivery it with speed. Let's back up a bit to writing. Before the advent of the television, copywriters had to wait for months before they can deduce the success of their ads because they did door-to-door mail. Eventually, they made do with television adverts with shorter timespan. Now, Facebook and Googl...

Now, let me narrate my little experience in this tech industry. I met a lady on LinkedIn when I started learning Frontend development in December 2021. Barely 2 months later, she called me and said she had an internship opening and if I knew JavaScript so she'd refer me. I didn't, so I declined. She proceeded to give me a roadmap whenever I sent her update on what I was learning. She encouraged me to start learning React immediately I understood the basics of JavaScript so I'd be employable. Also, I was tryna learn a concept in JavaScript testing and chatted up another friend I'd met on LinkedIn. He added my email to a paid course he bought. He is always like - Calm down. Don't force yourself into understanding every topic. Give it time, you'll grab these concepts soon I signed up for 2 coffee sessions with a different guy on LinkedIn. And he gave me some feature ideas for my project which I eventually implemented and impressed my interviewers during my intervie...

With due respect to practicing Christians, please skip over this blog post. When I actually started seeing heaven as a joke was the concept of complete forgiveness. Pardon my mere non-spirit filled mind. So, if a rapist or murderer repents on his death bed, his/her sin is washed away just like that? But if the person raped loses their faith, he/she goes to hell. On the other hand, if the person clings onto God, he/she goes to heaven and also sees his/her rapist there??  And the funny part is, most of us are so scared of hell that staying in same heaven with terrible humans is still better than the idea of hell. It's akin to corrupt politician supporters who are promoting his campaign to fill their pockets. Proves again that human beings are inherently selfish beings. As long as ones condition is better, others can go to hell (quite literally). That's why I am not terribly invested in the heaven idea anymore. Surely, I know my mortal logical brain fan never comprehend what the e...

So, I just started reading this book - "Forget a mentor. Find a sponsor" and it's just eye opening on the stack differences between mentorship and sponsorship. I do feel every one of us aiming to progress in the corporate sector should read it  With the depicted example, I like to think of Harvey Specter and Mike in Suits If you watched suits, Harvey wasn't exactly about all the advice with Mike. He gives him challenges, and emboldens him to take up more roles. But most importantly, he staked his reputation on Mike. Even going as far as telling Jessica, that if she sacks Mike, he is going with him. That's sponsorship. Not necessarily Mentorship.

So here is my thinking - I post about Tech, books , kdrama, funny jokes, home organising, music (both secular and gospel), etc.  on my status Basically, things that I like. At the core of these values I hold dear - my abhorrence for organized religion, and pro-feminist ideals are inclusive But, you expect that I should not include them on my own status cos it makes you uncomfortable??  I actually do believe that such discomfort comes from a place of self-narcissism. See you, see Joe Goldberg 2.0. You're probably wondering, "How dare she has such contrary opinions, and not be depressed or be lacking somewhat in her life?" Smh. Kindly ask Jesus for forgiveness. Your soul actually does need saving more than mine If someone's values don't sit well with you, mute them.  Infact, block them, if possible. I never DM other people when they call feminism "ndị ifenemenisi," or those that say - "your soul is damned if you don't accept Jesus as your lord an...

A family friend reached out to my brother and said -  "Gị na daddy unu nọ ebe a, chọọ Ị hapụ ụmụnne unu nwaanyị ka ha nọdụ na be unu kaa nká" Translation - That he and my father are sitting back, without doing anything as the females remain married She even suggested places to go for spiritual consultation. My brother really struggled with the right response for a respected family friend and ended up replying with just a greeting. The thing with the older generation is that they truly do believe that marriage is the pinnacle of it all, specifically for women My father, thankfully, has never badgered me for marriage other than, "don't go and entangle with someone from faraway. I can't travel on longer routes now that I am older" But the whole marriage incitement is an epidemic.  When Nigerians say "marry early," it usually boils down to these arguments - 1. So you'll look like your kids' sibling instead of their parent 2. You don't want ...

So, I'm watching Sky castle, a kdrama and this character in the movie cut his wife's credit cards and said he'd stop wiring money for living expenses to her.  This is someone that's a stay-at-home mom, and basically runs and maintains the household Why did he cut off the cards? Cos the woman revamped the prison-like room he called study room for their children. Not for her personal gain, but for their kids And gave her 3 days ultimatum to revert things back as it were. As per head of the household. How dare she change things without his permission? First off... I am willing to die on the hill that "being a stay-at-home wife and mom" is a full-time job that requires full compensation as with every other job. Afterall, the cleaners in the offices, and chefs get paid. However, a woman is expected to do that for free. It's quite unfortunate that there aren't laws that officially recognise STH women's role yet. Maka ya kam ji sị... Even if said man has ...
