Happy New month From yesterday till the time of writing this, I barely slept for two hours. Why? Head choked while burying myself into a lot of Blockchain Research work, reading documentations of different projects, I just wanted to see the logics people employed to craft their solutions. I looked at myself, the Way I craft my logic and think of a solution and said to myself: " there is so much to be done. Emmanuel, you would have to grind hard, Learn soft and hard,practice like no tomorrow, connect with others in the community like that is all you got " No one makes innovative solution that comes on the platter of Gold. Is not the "last Month of the year" is another time to keep up with the momentum. Happy New month once again.

🔹 As designer, no make am habit to dey work alone! 🔹(Nigerian Pidgin 😂 ) One thing wey don change my journey as designer na how I don begin value the power of collaboration. E easy to just face screen dey fine-tune every small detail, but the truth be say—correct design no dey happen for isolation! When we work together: ✨ We go dey see different ideas wey go sharpen our problem-solving. ✨ We go fit balance design, development, and product goals well well. ✨ We go create products wey go really fit users and business vision. Working with others—whether na teammates, mentors, or even users—dey challenge us to comot from comfort zone, talk our decisions well, and grow as communicators. Na here design go really show im power! No matter if na just you dey design or you dey work with team, make collaboration be your habit. Engage, share, and find feedback—e dey change everything! #ProductDesign #Collaboration #DesignMindset #UIUX #NaijaDesigners

If I make a post that Zenith bank or GTBank is looking for marketers, a great number of people will rush at the offer, they'll even reduce their ages to fit into the requirements. They'll be ready to wear suit and report to work 7am-5pm daily. They'll be ready to go anywhere possible to talk and get customers for the bank, They'll be ready to work under stress, and struggle to meet targets set for them...and so on, only for about 100k monthly. Tell this same person of another opportunity where he'll be his own boss, report to work when he wants, work at his pace, no targets, just market the opportunity to people, and earn more than 100k Weekly (400k monthly). This same person will suddenly realise he can't talk to people 🤔🤷😂😂 Mindset is everything. You're going for a lesser offer because your mind tells you it's more prestigious? Change the way you see things, you'll see the change it'll make in your life and finances. Ps: My batch 3 of Affiliate marketing boot camp will be coming up soon. If you want to be part of it send dm on WhatsApp using the link in my bio PSS: Have you come across a customer/client that has low mindset in the past and how do you reframe it to see the good you have in store.?

Hello LinkedIn family, I’ve been in the shadows for a while, but it’s time to share my story. My name is Queen Precious Osuji, a passionate creative, entrepreneur, and the CEO of Versatile Expert (VXP). My journey into tech and design started with curiosity and a love for problem-solving, inspired by sci-fi movies, Failed romantic movies...I adored as a child. Let's be for real. It hasn’t been a straight path. From studying computer science to taking freelance graphic design jobs, I built my foundation one skill at a time. VXP was born out of my dream to merge creativity, technology, and purpose. Today, it’s more than a business—it’s a movement for empowerment, innovation, and excellence. Needless to say I had hired 2 females to make it easier and the website of VXP was on for a while,tested by PRAISE UGOCHIM GEORGEWILL ,he was the backbone I had.Thank you so much.The site will be open again soon that I can promise,While VXP doesn't sound all that big, I also mentored over 300 women, some from south Africa, if I can remember their names ivy,king missy ( who is now an actress,a rapper),miss Renata (who's also financially stable with my help), i will show case the testimonies in my next post. It's not all rosy, because I still had to battle with my health, and I had emotional trauma keeping up with family etc, it wasn't easy because I thought of VXP since I was in secondary school I wanted to be versatile in many ways or hold a company that's versatile enough to be the all in one medicine, I personally had to respond to anyone too who needed emotional support because that's also what VXP does, we don't stop at physical health, financial stability, we reach up to mental health, emotional health, relationship advice (no we don't tell you to divorce or love him or her back, it's either we find out who you are,if you're a better person or a toxic one) , I don't really believe AI can do all that unless sentient AI comes into the picture. I have hand written or in this case digital ebooks written by me to help all females young or old, pregnant or a single,broke or rich,but it'll be on the site and I can't wait to release it. (I will whisper that the hosting and every other thing for the site is costly and I'm in a bit of a sticky mud, but I'm using the time to train a model and yes there are challenges there too from the cleaning and preprocessing of data to the algorithms so I'm helping in open source code on git hub,also if you're still curious this AI will be for VXP alone) But hey, Every step of this journey taught me resilience, from facing failures to turning them into stepping stones. Now, I’m here to make an impact and connect with like-minded individuals who believe in creating solutions.

SYSTEMS THINKING One of the best decisions of my life was paying for consultation with @The_Global_Tech_Boss, that’s Mr David Adefunmilayo You see that money you want to save, invest it in yourself and growth. It is said that, “if you empty your pocket to fill your brain, soon your brain will keep your pocket full”. What that consultation did for me was “CLARITY” Here’s how, I am a multipotentialite, someone with many interests and pursuits. And it is easy for people like us to easily try different things at the same time out of curiosity, and therefore not get much results in any. Wisdom profitably directed me to stick with real estate, but still I felt a number of my interests were lagging behind. I knew they had to be a way to bring them forward. That’s when I thought of Mr David, and he introduced me to SYSTEMS THINKING, it changed everything. Now rather than this or that, I think of a system to combine both. A clear example, Mr David is rapper, footballer, climate change activist, tech consultant, and guess what? He wears each hat exceptionally well, and maintains a brand identity as Global Tech Boss. Watch me wear the crypto - real estate hat as “Solana Realtor”. Expect contents that explains the linkage between cryptocurrencies and real estate assets. Let me be the bridge that between Crypto Lovers and Real Estate Investments. You can call it rebranding! Solana Realtor.

Opay is the best thing in the Nigerian banking sector.... Calm down, I will tell you why. Since I was born, no financial institution has EVER given me anything, instead they have taken from me. Imagine sending me a birthday message and still take SMS fees from my account..that is pure evil! These banks are stingy to a fault. Since I opened a bank account, I have never gotten any incentive for doing transactions UNTIL @OPay_NG became a player. The first time I got cashback for doing a transaction was from Opay! @OPay_NG is the first financial institution I have used that doesn't take transaction fee...na so dem de do o. Like the Nigerian government,other banks will take and take from you but will never give back. It is pure wickedness.... stop eyeing me, you know I am saying the truth. As a Nigerian whose government and entrepreneurs want to suck out all the red and white blood cells in me ... it is a miracle. The sweetest thing about @OPay_NG is its transaction speed. OMG! With other banks, sometimes you dont get alert, you can even get an error message for a successful transaction. I did a transaction repeatedly without knowing they were all successful. Opay takes that confusion away. You instantly get a confirmation message. #product #marketing #writing

Did you choose Statistics yourself or FUTA gave you? I get asked this question everytime I tell someone what I was studying during my undergraduate days, even after I graduated. I was speaking to my mum's Pastor and his wife yesterday about the importance of Statistics in every sector and how it would improve decision making in businesses and organisations, they were quite amazed about how passionately I spoke about it and how happy they were to meet someone who actually loves this course because they've met people who had the opportunity to study this course but refused to go. So, back to my question, was I given or I chose it? I chose Statistics with my full chest, after studying it in the polytechnic for 2 years, I fell in love almost immediately due to my love for mathematics but then, I realized it was more than solving maths, human lives, construction, life and death, finance, education and many others depends on it. Yes, you read that, statistics is indispensable in every organisation and every sector, it helps you make the right decision because truly, figures doesn't lie. Looking at the trend can make you forecast the future. We can know the right dosage of drug that will be effective to cure a disease (clinical trials). When it comes to projects, construction, building and the likes, we sit down to help you find the best route to completion that would save cost, time, energy and labour, this is called operation research...... I can go on and on to tell you how Statistics is useful in every sector. If our government can really invest in the theories we are being taught in schools, I tell you, cure to many things in this Nigeria is in the hands of Nigeria students. We know so much that we end up going to other countries and add our values to them, please invest in us 🙏. At this point, I want to appreciate all my lecturers, you can see the passion in passing the knowledge to us, God bless everyone of them. So, I'm a proud product of the prestigious Federal University of Technology Akure Bagged B.Tech Statistics #statistics #graduate #futa
