I have a team of 5-6 volunteers who helps me with various things to keep the platforms running.

Volunteer one is coming to Canada fully funded!

He was responsible for sharing scholarships that we all enjoy on here. He researches the scholarships and make sure we post them.
So, he graduated from his MSc in the UK and returned back to Nigeria. I was panicking and sat tight to support. First we got internship in a reputable organization in Nigeria to keep body and soul together while we tackle Canada and the US for admissions.
We didn’t get PhD but we got a second Masters and full funding in one of the Canadian U15 🎉.

I actually was regularly saying a prayer for him and checking in. I am so relieved. He is coming to Canada 🇨🇦! It’s like my younger brother is coming to Canada 🇨🇦.
I am so excited and thankful that he won’t be spending more than 6 months in your Nigeria 😂.

Thank you for all you do for me and for all you do finding scholarships for the community. I am blessed to have you as part of my inner circle and looking forward to meeting you
in person in Canada soon.

May God perfect all that is left, amen.

For those asking whether you can get a GOOD JOB before landing in Canada.

When this madam became my client, she said I want a job with a-6-figure salary waiting for me before I move to Canada.

Me: let’s put in the work and see how it goes. Are you ready for assignments? Image
6 weeks later, 2 interviews from reputable places. These are not IT Roles. They are HR roles with 6 figures salary. I am also shocked but it is all possible!

If anyone tell you as a new immigrant or a recent graduate to settle for less, jump and pass their direction!
Dream as big and you deserve and find the right people to help you get to the finish line.

I have been on several new immigrants panels where people say the employers don’t know to interpret your foreign degrees and lowball immigrants because of that.

So, I got admitted into the UofS for a PhD in biomedical engineering with focus on synchrotron X-ray imaging and biomechanics in 2012. This was at the start of the 4th Industrial Revolution (began in 2011). And 9 months into the PhD program, I evaluated and couldn’t fit my
biomechanics major into any of the Industry 4.0 technologies & synchrotron x-rays seem to be a technology for the distant future. I was so worried and started looking at what else I could do (based on my background) that fits into any of the 140 technology swimlanes.
Then, I found 3D-printing and with my background in physics, I was vast in Material Science and took a minor in this during my MSc. So, I decided to approach the head of #3Dprinting lab at the UofS in an email with all my transcripts and detailed out my value. He said yes but you

On the Making of a Modern Day Deborah.

I was singularly single for a while. I had bad relationships. I was a fixer. I went about just getting attracted to broken men and fixing them up. Then, they would dump me and go bring a lower girl and marry. I coordinated one’s thesis,
I housed a man and fed him 😂. I helped planned men’s careers. I was fixing them for other women 😓.

So, when I was in year 3 of my PhD, I got engaged to an emotionally abusive man. He told me my PhD was miniature and that I won’t amount to much. He asked me to quit and move
to Norway and be his full house wife. He told me I was ugly. He called my parents uneducated. Yet, he engaged me.

So, after all that this Pastor’s PA who went to church 3 times every week ended that relationship after continued emotional abuse and threats.

I used to live in Finland. If it is not better than I left it. Don’t go there! You deserve better!

I did cleaning job for 4.5 years and they won’t give us any other type of jobs! I could not collect samples from patients recruited for my study! Being black was my sin!
If anyone spill any jargons to cajole you to go to Finland, show them my tweet. Let them tell us it is not true.

I picked race o. I left and never looked back. Please o, let our hustle shine eye o. One chance abroad dey o. Don’t go and enter one chance o. I did once.
Yes to Norway, you will get jobs in oil and gas. These days oil and gas is no longer booming. I need to check with my folks there for current info.

No to Finland. Sweden is in between.

I don’t want you to go Israelite waka like I did. I did 🇳🇬➡️🇫🇮 ➡️🇨🇦➡️🇺🇸. The hustle is real

Tips from Joel Lessem, CEO of Firmex from his talk for @STEMHub_ and @africa_hacks titled: Start up and scale up

- Buy a business plan software. It makes your proposition look professional and enable your planning
- Failure is not an option. If you fail, pick lessons, continue
Key factors for success

- Product/Market Fit: critical
- People / execution: important
- Capital: desired

Must go hand in hand
Commercial proof: Are there successful businesses emerging in this category? If there are no successes; the market is may be not ready or the product isn’t that useful

Market size & competition: size of target customers? Is the market fragmented or there is one dominant player?
