FANTASTIC : It all Started on Twitter! Bisolu & Ayodele’s Pre-wedding Shoot + Love Story

They say fate has a way of bringing us across the people we need. Bisolu  and her lover,  Ayodele  met on Twitter but the story started even before then. Ayodele had attended a cookout earlier and noticed a lady but didn’t speak to her. Still feeling disappointed about that, he sees a new follower on Twitter and decides to follow and send a DM. He was pretty sure it was the same lady from the cookout, but then she wasn’t! Funny enough, Bisolu was meant to be at the same cookout. You know it is better to hear the love story from the couple, so keep scrolling to read both sides of the #ABFusion love story. You can catch with more  love stories  on  www.bellanaijaweddings.com .   How We Met By the groom,  Ayodele Spring 2012, I went with a couple of friends to a Memorial day cookout party. I remember noticing a girl there, for some reason I didn’t approach her. Later when I got home that evening. I felt a bit disappointed that I hadn’...

Jeremiah Ajayi: You Don’t Have to Be Perpetually Broke! Tap into the Gig Economy !! #SIDE HUSTLE

After Nigeria’s independence, the norm was to immediately secure a job after graduation. As a matter of fact, graduates received employment letters at their doorsteps. Surprisingly, things have changed. Things have taken a cynical U-turn; companies don’t provide automatic employment for graduates anymore. Instead, graduates run helter-skelter, trying to secure a means to survive. According to reports by  Trading Economics , the unemployment rate in Nigeria is 23.10%. Yearly, millions of graduates churned out from universities are unable to secure employment. Those who manage to secure employment do settle for less. At most, they are underemployed, working jobs that are far below their professional skills. “ Yearly, there are no jobs, but we keep churning out graduates.” “How can companies pay some first-class graduates forty thousand Naira?” “Many workers are underpaid.” Most of us have engaged in these kinds of conversations. It seems unavoidable because you hear...
