Travelling abroad for your masters, MBA or PhD this September? Please mix with white folks aka oyinbos. They will show you ‘road.’ Forget all the noise about racism for a sec.

Mix with Nigerians too but run away from “I trust Dipo to do it” when it’s time for group coursework🙂
Don’t call anyone sir or ma except they ask you to. David is David. Richard is Richard. Sandra is Sandra too. Even if they became a professor in 2005.
Try this after 3 months....

“Hi Suresh, I like the lecture you delivered on NAFTA, Trump and intercontinental relations. Would you mind supervising my MSc or MBA dissertation? I’d be very glad if you did, but no pressure.”

Thank me later.

If you don’t believe that a young person can be collecting money from home and claim to be studying at Uni for years that’s on you. I have seen this happened with my own eyes. Gained admission, withdrawn in 2nd year for poor performance but spent another 4 years collecting money.
As sad as these stories are the parents must share some of the blame. You have to supervise your kids. You have to do due diligence. You need to ask questions even of 25 year olds. If your child do this you will have to forgive them and start afresh. It’s sad but what can you do?
If you have been rusticated go back home and tell your parents. Stop collecting money and flexing around a university community. The shame you feel is temporal. You can still have a great future but you must move on from your failure and start afresh. Don’t waste another 4 years.

“Never start a business just to make money. Start a business to make a difference.” – Marie Forleo

This video speaks to me. I believe running businesses isn’t just about making money, but solving problems, making impact, and creating value.
But doing business in Nigeria and Africa can be a nightmare. The challenges are endless. As a business owner, I deal with poor power supply (a major problem faced by Nigerian businesses), inconsistencies in government policies, as well as lack of access to capital and credit.
Irrespective of these challenges, many business owners are still striving to breakthrough & make progress. For example, Tosin Eniolorunda of @moniepoint lost N250M but eventually grew to processing over $8B in transactions monthly!Watch the full video here

I had known from 100 level that I was going to study abroad after graduating from the University of Abuja where I studied Accounting. ASUU strikes and all, I graduated in 2008. Just like everyone else, I was worried about the process and ease of obtaining my academic transcript.
An academic transcript is a very important document if you want to study abroad. It’s been almost 15 years since I graduated from Uni and guess what, obtaining academic transcripts from most Federal, State Universities and Polytechnics in Nigeria 🇳🇬 is still a major pain point.
Do you want to study abroad and need an easy & fast process to obtain your academic transcript? You should contact @itranscriptng. iTranscript is the automated platform that helps alumni/students make the most out of life after school through quick & secure transcript processing.

As an entrepreneur who runs a few small businesses, I can tell you that there is more to a business beyond just product or service. Going out of your way to show you care can go a long way.

This is the year to take your financial life and goals seriously. Remember I always suggest that you should invest, save, or start a side hustle. It's a good thing that @Sterling_Bankng is giving away shares from top 14 Nigerian companies to 50,000 youths. This is massive!

Dear Nigerian Entrepreneurs, it’s 2022 and we must do things differently! That’s what smart entrepreneurs do. So, as you are working on those new year resolutions, please remember to commit to giving your business your all this year.
Commit to learn and unlearn certain ideologies and most importantly, commit to network!

I have made a commitment to share genuine opportunities with you throughout this year, starting with an opportunity for people interested in the Non-oil sector.
By now you should know I am particular about this sector this year because numbers don’t lie! So, if you already operate in this sector or aspiring to, you need to know about @fidelitybankplc's Export Management Programme.
