Ok, I normally don’t jump on trends. I just wanted to say this. Food is important in a marriage and also when I moved abroad, I also realized that cooking and taking care of the home is mostly for the women to do.. I sincerely thought it was an African thing.
Married 15years..
This tweet isn’t funny to me.
Cooking isn’t my favourite thing to do. Still, I realised that I actually enjoyed cooking for one man like that during our vacation, he would wash the plates, throw out the trash, run errands, clean the apartment while I cooked. It felt good sha but
Been holding back on sharing this for a few weeks because I wanted to bask in it and let it sink in..
Now a Canadian citizen as well. Congratulations to me

Newcomers to Canada. Be careful of scammers from WhatsApp groups.
This is how it happens.
A community group exists with people who have just immigrated, may be ex-co workers, or any community group that is based on mutual trust.

I am just stating the reality, so we don’t confuse the younger ones. Everyone should know how to cook but it’s mostly the women’s responsibility even abroad. I have lived in UK and Canada. If a woman can afford to outsource, that’s ok too. But this responsibility falls on us.
New immigrant in Canada, 👇🏽 some things that are different here from Naija:
1. Habanero is hotter than “ata rodo” don’t put more than 4/5 in a pot of stew.
2. You will get paid bi-weekly or twice a month.
3. Rent or mortgage is paid monthly not yearly.
I need to discuss 2 hot topics:
First one, about transitioning to Tech. Specifically, cybersecurity and data analysis.
Second on immigrating to Canada. The different pathways..
I just need time 😒😒. I’ve been so busy these days.
At my space earlier I spoke about the path to cyber.. basically from foundations of computing, to sys admin, cloud, then security fundamentals.. I promised to share the links.. pls note that there may be similar courses of the same intent.. but here are the links
Quick cybersecurity questions to ask a vendor/third party.
What else would you ask?

All the best. If you know anyone interested in cybersecurity, share with them
I won a mentorship award!
Thank you God! Thank you to my family. Thank you to the people who nominated me. I also appreciate the people who have trusted me with their career, taken my advice and counsel. Thanks
@siberxorg
for showcasing the amazing work done by women.
Soft skills are crucial in every field, especially in cybersecurity.
No.3, to me is the most important.
Imagine presenting at a meeting, saying “we suffered a phishing attack”, folks be thinking “Was there a flood & fish invaded the office?”

If you are in Tech, any area of Tech & you have at least 3 years experience, do ielts & WES. You could be on your way to Canadian citizenship in about 4/5yrs
Like I always say, immigration is a personal decision with many lows and highs. it’s not everyone that will immigrate.
If you are interested in relocating to Canada through Express entry, here is a simulation link to know the requirements and also give you a close idea of your EE score.
You can do it yourself 🚶🚶🚶

Another course you can embark on as someone transitioning into to Tech is scrum. If cyber is not for you, you don’t want BA, coding etc.. if you are interested in scrum, comment here let me know and I can bring in an expert for a quick space this weekend.
Calgary is currently one of the coldest places on earth atm. My face literally froze 🥶. I covered every other part of my body, multilayered like Defense in-depth. But my face still froze.. windchills is like -45.. 🙄🙄.
Cybersecurity professionals.. if you are interested in relocating, Australia desperately needs your skills.. check out their immigration pathways.
Funny reasons people have told me they don’t want to go to Australia :
1. Snakes
2. Too far from home.
I will say it is well o.

Mind your finances in Canada.
Don’t have a bad credit, you may just be shooting your opportunities.
Heard a sad story of how a graduate lost an opportunity to work at a good company because of debt with the telco companies due to accumulated unpaid bills from school days.
Please meet my mentee , Olufela Osideko she was assigned to me by
@cybersafehq
as part of their program. Olufela is aspiring to complete her education in the higher institution, she’s doing amazing work in cybersecurity , learning to be a penetration tester.
If I wasn’t in Cybersecurity full time, I would have become a teacher and if not, I would have become a farmer.
Glad I’m living all 3 in my own little way…grateful 🤲🏾

When you mentor, you are not only giving back, you are building relationships for the future, you are supporting the profession, you are impacting lives.
Sometimes we lose but we will never give up!

Well it is what it is…. People’s experiences in life is what they will say which doesn’t make it the truth. Which was why I took time to study what’s happening in other homes, other cultures as well. And trust me, taking care of the home front, mostly rests on we women.
My hubby is definitely the most agile person I know .
Engineer > Accountant > Data Analyst
Talk about adaptability.. No wonder he can cope with my mood swings, temper tantrums, OCDness, etc 🤣🤣🤣
He is graduating today, pls wish him well for me 🙏🏽

That’s a serious cause of concern. The one that shocked my daughter was the school principal greeting students in the morning as they walked in and students completely ignoring her. She couldn’t understand it. Where we come from, kids greet adult first.
Let me put this here, maybe I am about to spoil it 🤷🏽♀️.
Financial responsibility of d home also rests solely on d man. If they decide to switch or share roles, so be it. But it’s crazy to expect a woman do all chores & share financial responsibility,if she does, she is a rare 💎.

It hasn’t been so cold this year, I can still wear my Ankara jacket. It’s unusual to have this type of mild weather at this time of the year.

Finally, we are share our good news.
When we met on X. I told you needed just a little support, and by God’s grace, dedication, exams & successful certifications, with a little tears here & there. YOU DID IT.
I am super proud of u my darling Joan! This is just the beginning.
Excited to share that I've landed my first role as a cybersecurity analyst three months ago! Overcoming imposter syndrome, I've learned that perseverance and resilience are key in the journey to success.
Grateful to my mentor
@Sheriffie
for her continuous guidance and support✨.
I spoke to someone yesterday. He got a job which sponsored him to come to Canada to work.. he had submitted over 1k applications to different organizations. Over 300 to Amazon. But he still got the job. Sponsorship for him and his family to work and live in canada.. it is do-able
There’s a growing trend of fraud in Nigeria against small businesses. Their staff will open a similar account name to the business name and start receiving payments instead of going to the company’s account.
E.g Sherry Ltd as account name, employee will open Sherry Direct pay.
Happy international women’s day to every woman; 9:5er, trailblazer, home-maker, first-teacher, innovator, change-maker, boss-lady, first lady, care-giver, CEO, Commander-in Chief. I see you, I celebrate you.

Alhamdullah, another person got a very good cybersecurity job after I gave a reference.I am anxiously waiting for another fantastic news next week, can’t wait to share.
PS: these people worked hard and prepared well. The jobs didn’t just fall on their laps. Just saying..
My tribe , my tribe.. I heard that even in the nominations, you people were still writing “Aunty Sherry”. One of the judges wanted to know why.. I couldn’t explain myself..

6. When you finally pass, pedestrians own the road here, you will wait for them to cross or chop ticket.
It may be tough getting the first job offer in Canada as a new immigrant despite your skills and qualifications.. but persevere. Ensure your resume, LinkedIn, indeed are all up to date and improve your interviewing skills, you will get an offer.. hang in there 🙂
Yaay..
All 10k followers are loved 🥰. From talking about cybersecurity, my passion, about Canada 🇨🇦, my new home, about parenting..For a very long time I avoided being active on X (Twitter) but it’s been alright 👍🏾 except for my opinion on Hakimi 😁😁😁.
Thanks for being here.

I’m grateful for having a flexible working arrangement. I don’t have to drive to work. Thanks to cybersecurity 😁
I am under pressure now 😫😫. Hubby just called my attention.. he said “wos wobi, you must prepare well for your NIPCA talk. Have you seen the comments on LinkedIn??”

Over 20 years ago today I lost my rare gem. Still one of the most painful experiences of my life. I thought it was April’s fool prank.
Her death toughened me up even at a young age. I just wanted her to be proud. I hope she is.
May God forgive her sins & grant her aljannah 🤲🏾.
I can’t focus. I am reading one email more than 3x. I am not OK. This Nigerian election is having more effects on me than I expected. Just wondering how people in the country are faring. Hugs 🤗 to all of you, really wanting positive change for Nigeria!
