This is one of the best moves in the world. How many of us go to payday loans to borrow money? Not many because their interest rates are astronomical. The International Monetary Fund and World Bank charge very high interest rates. More African presidents should emulate the AES countries (Niger, Mali and Burkina Faso). The World Bank and International Monetary Fund are in Africa to siphon resources out of the continent. The continent has trillions of dollars under its feet, yet it begs for millions of dollars, which are peanuts compared to what it has. #WakeupAfrica #wakeupBlacks #RiseupAfricans #RiseAfrica #BlackandProud

Well that rattled a few people!! 😤 Last week, I shared a speech from a wealthy American footballer to graduates who stated quote unquote… ”My wife’s life began when she started living her vocation as a wife and as a mother. I am the man I am today, because my wife leans into her vocation. My wife embraced her most important title of all - home maker”. 👉🏼Many women disagreed 👉🏼Some men totally agreed. 👉🏼A few men thought he was an @rse. Now I’ve been a stay at home mum for over 16 years. Not because it was my vocation. It was a CHOICE my husband and I made together that one of us would always be home to raise our daughter. When he had a back injury, I was the breadwinner. When he got better, he was. In some households, BOTH parents HAVE to work just to make ends meet. It’s not a choice. It’s not a vocation. It’s a necessity. Of course it’s easy when one of you is making MILLIONS, but that wasn’t the case for us. We struggled. There was extra stress on one person to provide. It wasn’t rainbows and fairy tales. Sacrifices were made. Some people will always want to have both. Careers and available to their children. It’s not easy, but it’s possible. Thankfully I eventually found a way to do that. Bottom line? It’s about figuring out what works for you. Together. Not telling others what they should be doing and when they'll start to really be happy and live. _________________________ 💸 It’s me, Dal Walton.

Here I was, speaking to a group of 10-year-olds, and I was so excited to hear about some of their chosen careers, ranging from footballer to interior designer, lawyer, and beauty technician. At their age, I wouldn't dream of telling my Nigerian parents I wanted to be a footballer. The choices were very limited. As Gina Yashere said, as a Nigerian child, you have four career choices: "Doctor, Lawyer, Engineer, and Disgrace to the family." And, trust me, no one wants to pick the fourth choice. I had the pleasure of presenting via Teams to a group of Year Six pupils at a primary school in South West England this morning through the organisation Inspiring the Future. After taking a break from volunteering when COVID started, I decided it was time to get back to it. Sharing my career journey, from being a Marketing Executive to a Programme Manager and now as a Non-Executive Director, with these bright young minds was a rewarding experience. Can you believe it? When I told them about my job as a Programme Manager, only two people had heard of the role and understood what it entails. It was a stark reminder of how important it is to inspire young minds and let them know they can dream big. I emphasised the importance of finishing school and getting their GCSEs, but also that university isn't the only path. Whatever they choose to do, continuing in education or training is key. I would like to encourage organisations and individuals to get involved with Inspiring the Future. As an organisation, do consider offering work experience to secondary, college/sixth form, and university students. Also, provide paid voluntary days to your staff to participate in such activities. A big thank you to NHS England for doing this and encouraging me to get involved, and to all the managers who have supported me in this endeavour. Inspiring the future starts with us. Let’s empower the next generation to explore all the possibilities ahead of them.

It's hard to explain why this #customer review meant so much to me without getting emotional, but I'll give it a go as it's important. On my first night as a #juniordoctor working in paediatrics I was called back to the ward to take blood tests from a child. I was 28 years old, 1 year since qualifying as a doctor, and had never taken blood from a child before. I was petrified. There was no-one else around who could do the job so, with the help of the awesome paediatric #nurse (who literally talked me through everything) I got the job done - But I felt like a terrible imposter. So over the next few months I spent countless hours on the paediatric ward taking tests from children of all ages, placing IV lines in newborn and premature babies, negotiating with scared children in A&E at 3am and watching and learning from senior colleagues. I was determined to perfect my skills. Was it worth it? Well 12 years later I managed to give this child a positive experience, so I would say the answer to that is a resounding yes. Whatever profession you are in it’s so easy to forget how hard you’ve worked to acquire your unique set of #skills and experience. #proficiency comes from practice practice practice… And if your lucky, confidence follows. Take a moment to pause and reflect on how hard you’ve worked to acquire just one of the skills you use in your career. Let me know in the comments - I'm keen to hear your story, whatever your career and skillset! #doctors #learning #career #experience #healthcare #skills #practice

Can I say that all my followers and connections know me? I would be wrong to assume this. Who is the girl behind the scene? 🌹My name is Grace Ori 🌹I am in final year student of law 🌹 my best colours are black and pink 🌹 I am a foodie, I eat even when I'm down. 🌹 I talk alot with only people I know and can be very quiet outside(can you relate?) 🌹I'm an African girl (Guess the country) 🌹 I love singing, I can't go a day without singing when I'm cooking. 🌹I love watching k-dramas, horror movies, cartoon and anime (who is your favourite cartoon/anime character) 🌹I'm very shy in real life but can be crazy when I am with friends 🌹I'm a very emotional person and cry at every slightest form of distress 🌹 I'm not a tik tok person (the app isn't even in my phone) 🌹 I have wanted to become a doctor, but the sight of blood makes me feel faint, sometimes anxious and other factors. 🌹There's a man whom I love deeply, he has refined me so much. He is always there. He's my best support when I am down. (Guess who?) 🌹I don't have any girl circle. I keep my circle of friends small. I haven't had a visiting friend (s) in years 🌹I am content writer, I help brands build trust, engagement and influence through compelling contents. Bonus ✅ I always keep straight face😂😂 (I don't know why) ✅ I prefer text to calls except where in an urgent situation ✅ I can't dance to save my life 😭😂 This cannot end without me knowing you, let's get to E-meet ourselves.

📢 Tackling Pharmacy's Ethnicity Pay Gap – Time for Action?   In the pharmacy sector, the ethnicity pay gap remains a persistent issue, with limited progress over the years. Despite industry-wide awareness, data reveals that Black, Asian, and minority ethnic (BAME) pharmacy professionals still experience lower average earnings compared to their white counterparts.   This gap highlights systemic barriers and underscores an urgent need for actionable strategies.   📝 Why is this gap stubbornly unchanged? Lack of transparency: Without mandatory reporting, many employers lack visibility into their own pay disparities. Barriers to progression: BAME professionals encounter obstacles to promotion, resulting in limited representation at senior levels. Need for targeted support: Mentorship and leadership development tailored to underrepresented groups can drive real change.   👩🏽‍⚕️ How can we fix this? Mandate ethnicity pay gap reporting to enhance accountability. Strengthen mentorship and ensure equal access to advancement opportunities. Foster inclusivity in leadership by promoting diversity in executive roles.   It’s time for all stakeholders to work together to bridge this gap and build a fairer, more equitable pharmacy workforce. Let’s push for transparency, diversity, and opportunities for everyone to thrive!   If you would like to read the full article, it is linked below: https://lnkd.in/eu9mQ-CG   📢 Naz Saeed #Pharmacy #DiversityAndInclusion #PayEquity #EthnicityPayGap

You get Oxford and then you get Africa.    The one speaks to your intellect, the other to your soul.    The only way you get to understand Africa, is to listen with your heart.    When Oxford says, Darkest Africa.  Africa whispers, however long the night, the dawn will break.    When Oxford says, learn from your mistakes,  Africa whispers, to get lost is to learn the way.    When Oxford says, look before you leap,  Africa whispers, only a fool tests the depth of a river with both feet.    When Oxford says, stop talking, start acting.  Africa whispers, a roaring lion kills no game.    When Oxford says, ask and you will receive.  Africa whispers, a child that does not cry will die in the carrier.    When Oxford says, all contributions are valuable,  Africa whispers, birds sing, not because they have answers, but because they have songs.    When Oxford says, you cannot change a person,  Africa whispers, rain beats the leopard’s skin, but it does not wash out the spots.    When Oxford says, you matter,  Africa whispers, the sun does not forget a village just because it's small.    Africa is not a place you visit,   It is a place where you find yourself.    A dictionary gives meaning to words;  Africa gives meaning to you.    If you want to learn about Africa, pick up the dictionary; If you want to get to know yourself, inhale Africa. Robert Elliot once said, if you only visit two continents in your lifetime, visit Africa twice! #africa #whoweare #soulfood

5 Things you should never say to your children as Nigerian Parents 1. Do you know what I have been through in this life? 2. When I was young, like your age, I used to carry first position in my class 3. Your mates have gone to their husband’s house, you are busy dragging your feet. Better go and find person to marry 4. Your mates are in University and have passed JAMB, you are still writing JAMB for the 7th time. 5. I did not kee my father so you self cannot kee me ….. Emotion management varies for both children and adults, yet our experiences can be similar. Children experience emotions just as adults. Your children are not deserving of a traumatic experience because your parents went that route. You can do better. Even in the sports of tennis, you have to prepare for what your opponent serves you. To be a good parent, you also have to prepare for it - in terms of what you say to your children and how you make them feel, heard, seen and look. If Parenting is a skill that should be taught, which school would you recommend to get that degree. #parenting #trauma #mentalhealth #childrenemotions #TommyandtheLittleSeed #growth
