There's been an abundance of internship programs lately, and while it's a welcome development, I have worried that these programs might not be curated in a way that serves both parties, talents and organisations.

Rather, we see a painful cycle of organisations growing the number of interns they've "impacted" through their programs, and these interns being without proof of work despite spending months in these "impactful" internship programs.

Is it just me, or do you/have you experienced it, too?

The killing of Christians in Nigeria is inhumane and needs to stop. Nobody deserves to be endangered because of their faith.

What is this obsession with keeping job applicants in the dark?

Surely, it shouldn’t take so much to have a “we couldn’t continue with you” email template ready to send to applicants whose skills and values do not match your company’s! Or am I missing something?

Sometimes it is not other people holding you back. It is your own yesterday.
It comes quietly with memories, guilt or regret.

It reminds you of things you wish you did differently.
But the truth is simple. Yesterday is jealous.

It cannot stand that you are becoming someone new.

Yesterday behaves like a friend who does not want to let go.
It keeps saying remember this, remember that.

It tries to repeat old stories, both sweet and painful.

But yesterday does not like change.
It does not like seeing you grow.

It wants to convince you that nothing has changed, that you are still the same person with the same fears and the same limits.

If you listen for too long, you start going in circles.
You repeat the same mistakes.
You fight the same battles.
You stay in the same place and call it fate.

There is a Yoruba saying.
A kii fi owo kan ojo ana ka fi owo keji gba ojo iwaju.
You cannot hold yesterday with one hand and hold tomorrow with the other.

Your hands must be free to rise and build again.

Yesterday has taught you what it came to teach.
Its job is finished. Today is your classroom now.

Every morning, yesterday will try to knock on your mind.
It will remind you of regrets, missed chances, people who hurt you and times you fell.
But you must answer gently.
Thank you for the lessons, but I am moving on.

Let today breathe. Let today have its own story.
Your future is waiting too. It is watching to see what you do with your today.

Another Yoruba proverb says:
Bi a ko ba gbagbe ohun ana a kii ri ohun tuntun gba.
If you do not release yesterday, you cannot receive something new.

So maybe it is time to stop trying to repair what has already happened.
Maybe it is time to shape what is still coming.

Let yesterday be one chapter.
Let today be your page of courage.
Let tomorrow be your quiet promise.

No matter how loudly yesterday speaks, it cannot change the story of someone who has decided to heal, grow and begin again.

November 2010. I’ll never forget that day.

I had just arrived at the Accenture office in Victoria Island when I received the call that changed my life,
my mum had passed on.

Her name was Eunice Omoladun Sonde (née Aluko). She was born into the Aluko family in Ijebu-Jesa and spent her career as a secretary at the old Oyo State College of Education, where she was known for her precision and excellence.

After hours, she ran a small shop near International Breweries in Ilesa, and that’s where I learned the meaning of work, service, and resilience.

Those lessons shaped everything I am today — in business, leadership, and life.

She taught me tenacity, empathy, creativity, and boldness.

Mum, I’m doing my best. Your legacy lives through me. ❤️

May your gentle soul continue to rest in peace.

If you’ve ever been frustrated with the information AI has given you—gear up; because it‘s about to get worse with Google’s new policy.

After two decades of delivering outcomes for global organizations, across different nations and continents; one truth stands firm: No experience is wasted.

The good seasons refine you.
The tough seasons redefine you.

Every detour, delay, and disappointment becomes a wisdom investment and a foundational pillar for your next assignment.

Starting out from Ibadan to Lagos, Manchester to Milton Keynes, Vienna to London to Qatar — every step has been a chapter in a much bigger story.

Pumped and thankful about helping government agencies, entrepreneurs, business owners, and organizations focus on outcome deliver, not job roles or functions.

Because progress happens when you move the needle, even when it’s tough and uncomfortable.

Don’t let challenges stop your momentum.
Don’t let success make you complacent.

Keep building. Keep believing. Keep delivering value.

Every developer’s first internship experience in Nigeria — bugs, blessings, and banter. 😂💻

Remote life isn’t for the faint-hearted. You either fix the bug or the bug fixes you.

“Fully remote internship”… until your bugs start following users in real life. 😭

Would you rather offer a job role or structured micro-tasks (JTBD-style)? 👀

November sounds like relaxing and taking stock, but with gratitude, regardless of the year has been like for you.

Happy new month.

Some job ads read like riddles. We’ve all seen it.

Some of us have even stared at it long enough to wonder if the recruiter typed it with a straight face.

How, where, and from which portal should a fresh graduate download five years' experience?

How exactly does one get five years of experience in a job they’re just now trying to enter?

For many young people, this is the wall they hit right after school. You’ve done the work, you’ve earned the degree, and you’re ready to conquer the world with your skills—but you’re locked out of the “entry” because you do not have what the job is SUPPOSED to give you.

This is a paradox that leaves many young graduates stuck before they even start. You’re either “underqualified” because you don’t have the years, or “overlooked” because you’ve been searching too long.

It’s why at Career Bridge Foundation, we decided to stop laughing at the irony and start fixing it. It’s also why we built a structure where graduates and non-traditional learners can gain real-world experience—internships, skill simulations, projects that actually count.

With Career Bridge Foundation, interns are equipped with the kind of experience that helps them build a portfolio and gives employers something more tangible than a bullet point on a CV.

Because if the door is locked with “5 years required,” the least we can do is hand you the key.

More information about what we do at Career Bridge Foundation would roll out in the coming days. Stay tuned.

In the meantime, what’s the most bizarre reason an organization has given for not employing you?
