I took a job one year ago that changed everything.
I’m the Brand Storyteller at
@moni_africa
(a startup pioneering Community Finance in Nigeria, Benin Republic, Guinea and Senegal) and here some of the lessons about
#Storytelling
and
#workingintech
I’ve learnt in a year.
Congratulations to everyone who tried to date me this year.
I understand. The competition was stiff and tough.
Next year, applications open on January 5th.
The link will be in bio on said date.
Good luck!
Someone needs to open a restaurant in this Lagos where you can nap right after eating.
I’m 30. Once I’m done eating bayi, I want to recline and put my feet up.
The food also needs to be really good because good food triggers good naps.
Call it The Napkin.
This man and I are going working through an issue.
We talked for a little while and went about our days.
He texted me some hours after and said “Hey you. You didn’t text at all”
To which I replied “I didn’t know what to text”
Then he said “You text hey babe🥹”
Hey sweetie,
That mild abdominal pain you usually have?
Go get it checked.
The pain around your pelvis or lower tummy that you function with and you just think it’s nothing?
Go get it checked.
Love you, girl!
I just left an IWD celebration where I was a speaker.
There was a 50year old woman I met there who said she started following me on LinkedIn during the COVID-19 lockdown.
She is now a freelance ghostwriter, editor and content writer.
She said “Adebola, you changed my life.”
If you want to save money on food as a single girl
Follow your married friends home from church.
They’ll overfeed you and they’ll pack takeaway for you.
Turning 29 tomorrow.
Skin is skinning
Career is Career-ing
Bank account needs to do better
Lovers are love-ing
I’ll be in my house all day sleeping, eating and working.
It’s just another Wednesday
One significant thing that happened to me when my ex and I broke up earlier this year was weight loss.
Before the breakup, I’d weighed 55-57kg most of my adult years. I dropped to 50 straight.
I was eating. I was sleeping. I was working.
I didn’t know what was happening.
My friend moved to London four weeks ago.
He sends me pictures and videos of himself, food he’s trying, places he visited, ads, products he’s getting; how he’s setting up his new home; everything.
He may stop after a while but I’ve loved every bit of it.
You bought your clothes and it is your own. Feel free to repeat it as much as you want regardless of how many times you’ve posted it. Remember, everytime you wear your clothes, your cost per wear drops. Go and get value for your money.
To people who just started a new job or a new role;
It’s Imposter Syndrome, darling.
You got the job. You got the promotion. You got the raise.
You’ll figure it out.
Rooting for you.
I didn’t think that post would lead to people toasting me but it is what it is.
So, yes I’m single.
If you toast me correct, I’ll give you a listening ear.
All I ask is that don’t be rude. Don’t be disrespectful.
Thank you.
I took this picture with my phone.
I can’t remember the last time i took a picture with professional photographers.
That’s one of the reasons I invested in my phone last year.
And I also invest in a tiny tripod and few hours on YouTube/IG learning how to take good pictures.
If you don’t have the budget for a photoshoot. Pancake your face and use your phone to take pictures. Pls don’t break the bank. It’s your day so with or without photoshoot. We are here to celebrate and rejoice with you.
Much Love
Thank God for 30!
Brain is working
Breasts are perky
Hair is growing
Skin is healing
Heart is in one place
Love is at home
Knees work great

Happy birthday, Adebola!
This statement is in three parts:
1. Home being you. You’ve got to love yourself fam. No one can love you for you.
2. Home being your loved ones. Not necessarily family or people you live with.
3. Home being God. No greater love than this. Learn to feel at home in it. In Him.
My aunt told me her kids told her that they rarely watch TV when they come visit me and they always want to come back.
She asked me what I do to keep them entertained.
I told her we read, talk, play Monopoly and One Chance, cook, take a nap and write.
Guess what? She’s been
If you’re just learning Social Media Management or want to learn, send a DM.
There’s an Edtech internship opportunity.
You don’t need prior work experience.
Just be able to work remotely and learn fast.
You’ll be paid as well.

I caught a man’s gaze when I walked into a room.
It’s one of the most beautiful things I’d ever seen.
They were soft and curious.
It felt like they were asking me something his mouth couldn’t
So I smiled and waved.
To let him know it’s okay to ask me with his words.
I just want to say puberty or whatever eventually hit me in the right doses at this age.
I’m so grateful for my woman-body.
Awon late bloomers.
The think piece I wrote on Medium is a mess 😂😂😂 but that’s how I feel to be 30
CIP:
My mother!
Grew up in Lagos Island. She’s the only Christian in her very large and very close-knitted family. Their parents raised all of them Muslim. Her first name is Saidat. But has always preferred Oluwatoyin. I don’t know when she found Christianity but it was somewhere
My mom has come to my house twice this week.
She did my laundry even though I said the laundry man would come pick it up.
She cooked me the meals I can eat cos of my health.
She cleaned my house.
My friends too. One by one has been coming to help.
I’m grateful for them🤍
Nursed myself back to health
I can’t be the only one that feels lonely when I’m ill. Like no one to even cook for me, bathe me, pat my head as I used me meds?
Is this what’s going to push me to marriage?😩😩😩😩
In sickness and in health?
So I got to eating and going to the gym. All I wanted to do was put on weight and be strong.
It’s December and I’m now 65kg. I used to be a size 8 but I now wear a size 10.
I’ve stopped going to the gym three months ago (would go back soon cos now I have more fat than muscle)
