It’s strange but 5 years ago, I never saw myself as an entrepreneur. In fact I still don’t see myself as one. It’s really about having the opportunity to create my future and entrepreneurship seems to be the only way to express my vision and create the future I want. But as a 9-5 girl with more experience in urban…
Many of us (if not all of us) deal with insecurities of different degrees. From how we look, where we schooled, how much money we have, who we married, the schools are children go to…..insecurities can appear in different forms and can affect us in different ways. While most of us spend a considerable amount of time trying to hide…
Whether we participate in national elections or not, our lives are evaded by several levels of political nuances. The office really is a political playground where power is wielded and sought after through various group dynamics. When I started my first job in Nigeria, I was a real JJC- Jonny Just Come! I knew ‘about’ office politics but i never…
I really enjoy recording relationship vlogs! I have always said I feel like the heartbreak queen. My previous relationships have taught me so much about myself and the kind of person I would like to be. As I’ve grown older, I’ve realised that romantic relationships can be tough and more so when you haven’t defined the reason why you’ve chosen…
One of the things I love about living in Nigeria is the possibilities. Opportunities are being created everyday and the market space for innovation and creativity is ripe for the plucking. The only thing missing sometimes are the foot steps to guide us. Yes, we may have role models, but their experience is sometimes a bit out of reach when…
I love to reflect. It is possibly one of my greatest strengths and also a weakness. As much as I think about the past, I am usually more reflective about my future and the kind of life I want to live. Which means I am constantly evaluating if the decisions I am making today will eventually get me to where…
I have agonized about releasing this particular VLog because it takes me back to a really dark place in my life. But I realize that one of the aims of this VLog is sincerity. A lot of people look at me today and think ‘ohhhh….Glory is such a bubbly person’…they wouldn’t believe that almost 8 years ago now, I actually…
My 20’s feel like a burr. A cocktail of parties, boys, university and day dreaming about the future. It wasn’t until my mid to late twenties that I started really questioning myself and wondering what I was doing which then birthed the confusion and the depression. I have spoken to many ladies in their twenties and I find that although…
I am the kind of person that always wants more. Give me an inch and I’ll take 5KM! I spend a sizeable portion of my time dreaming about my future. What I want to do and where I want to be. While there is nothing wrong with aiming higher, constantly comparing your life with where you think you ought to…
