We go again today. A new week. Trying hard to build some simple project with react . Steadily, I'm getting near to making my dreams come true . One day , I will be there. Dare to dream, Dare to build

I've never seen this level of hatred for such a small club before. Congratulations to PSG 👏

I'm yet to do anything this week and it's Friday already 🥸

Tuff tuff A window close , another one opens . "It will soon be over" . I keep telling myself everyday

Most people think preservatives are the main reason food lasts long. In many cases, controlling water activity matters more than the actual amount of water present.

Sometimes you gotta stare at the ceiling until that multi billion idea start tickling in your brain then you fall asleep 😂😂

I've cooled down enough. You just have to be in motion. Keep moving. A moving man will meet his luck some days .

I keep coming back to this . When I started my journey on frontend development.

Adulthood is crazy . Need to just cool down sometimes 😑

When you operate at a global level, opportunities can disappear the moment people hear “Nigerian” because of the global stereotypes we already fight. Moniepoint statement reinforces that bias. That’s why the pushback matters. John is not doing too much

When I was doing my Master's in FUTO was when I realized that the average Nigerian student is a genius. Whatever you think they turned out to be was none of their fault. But let me give context first here: the screenshot below was my undergraduate project thesis at Redeemer's University. I was in a few project defenses with other sets presenting on building one E-commerce platform or one normal website or the other. Those didn't feel stimulating enough to me, I decided to do something deeper. Long before you heard of Agentic systems that have become productized by @OpenAI and @AnthropicAI, cuz, I was researching on Agentic Systems leveraging the defunct JAVA Agent Development Environment (JADE) as at 2013, which I ultimately presented on. Fast forward to my Master's in FUTO, I was working on some insights surrounding the RSA Cryptographic algorithm. My supervisor then, Dr. Njoku, super brilliant and kind man, called me aside and said, "Johnmark, this thing you are working on, the Computer Science lecturers here won't understand it oo". That was when I knew 2 things: 1. This wasn't the place for me. 2. The students here with big dreams will do great things from this place. Trust me, there were people doing even bigger things than I was doing, ON THEIR OWN DESPITE challenges being faced in the homefront. When you hear someone say talent here are not world class, know for sure he's kissing the ass of a financier somewhere.

🚨NEW $100 Trading Tourney In: We’re teaming up with Broke2bull for this one. The charts just woke up. They call it the Bull Shift… Most traders will miss the first move. Not because they can’t join, but because they hesitate to take part. $100 is already on the table.

I understand your dilemma. When I graduated with a BSc in Human Anatomy and Cell Biology, people told me I couldn’t use my course for anything in Nigeria. It was frustrating, and honestly, it made me question my choices. But I didn’t let that derail me. Instead, I focused on identifying a niche. For me, that was public health. Because I didn’t have experience, I started volunteering with public health and social impact organizations. That decision changed everything. I built connections, gained practical skills, and stayed active on LinkedIn. I also applied to graduate internships and took online courses to upskill myself. My first job came through a referral from an organization I volunteered with. My second came from cold messaging on LinkedIn. Eventually, I secured a fully funded scholarship that took me further. So here’s my advice: Identify a specific niche within industrial chemistry. The field is broad, so narrow it down, whether it’s quality control, production, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, or environmental chemistry. Once you identify your niche, start building connections within that space. Go on LinkedIn, follow companies working in that area, and connect with people there. Don’t be afraid to message decision makers. Reach out to directors or team leads and pitch yourself. You can ask to shadow them, learn from them, or express interest in a graduate trainee role. Let them know your background, your interest in the field, and how you’re willing to grow while contributing to the organization. Start somewhere, even if it’s volunteering, internships, or small roles. Build skills that are relevant to your chosen niche. Take courses, learn practical tools, and understand how your knowledge applies in real life. Referrals and relationships matter. Often times, in Nigeria, opportunities won’t come from applications alone. While doing all this, actively look out for scholarship opportunities. They definitely open doors to new advanced training, and global exposure. Your degree is a foundation and what you build on it is what makes the difference.
