I have stories for days. Definitely one of my favourite life experiences so far.
Love you bro

One of the major things I learned after working for

I’ve managed to stay consistent with my skincare routine.
Here’s a simple evidence-based routine to get up to 90% of the benefits. You’ll only need 3-4 products.
Visited a marriage registry for the first time today and I’m getting more convinced that I can only go through one of these things.

- Fast WiFi
- Totally Free
- Tables, Desks, Workspaces
- Free Magazines, Books, Newspapers
I use the public library 3 blocks from my house several times a week, it's like having a free WeWork.

Come hear interesting web3 companies present their projects and open roles to you!

It’s really that
@ZenithBank
chose silence about what’s going on for me. An essential service having a downtime since Saturday?! With no updates?!
But then, it’s Nigeria where there’s no consequence for moving mad. No surprises there.
