 By Franco Why Advice Feels Heavy When You’re Already Overwhelmed When someone is overwhelmed, their inner world is already loud. And advising them at that point won’t help because it won’t arrive as relief. Instead it arrives as another demand. The reason an advice feels heavy it’s not because the words are wrong, but because it assumes two types of availability from the individual. Which are: 1. Mental availability .  2. Emotional availability .  That’s the capacity to receive something new without dropping what’s already being held, that's what it implies when it lands as another demand. And most overwhelmed people aren’t empty. They’re full internally. It’s vital to understand that being overwhelmed isn’t a form of confusion. It’s actually internal congestion .  In simple terms, it’s those plenty of unfinished thoughts running in the background (Your Mind).  Too many silent obligations stacked without resolution.  Too many internal negotiations happ...

Every year, hundreds of thousands of skilled professionals graduate from universities across Africa, Asia, Latin America, and the Caribbean. These are software engineers, data scientists, financial analysts, healthcare professionals, and project managers who have invested years into building real, marketable expertise. Many of them are ready to work at an international level right now. Yet when they apply for roles in the UK, the US, Canada, or Europe, the results often do not match their ability. Applications go unanswered. Interviews never materialise. And for most of these candidates, the reason is not a lack of skill. There is a gap between how they present their experience and how international hiring systems are designed to read it. This is not a reflection of anyone’s capability. It is a design flaw in how global recruitment works, and it affects talented people from every emerging market. The good news is that once you understand the gap, it becomes surprisingly easy to close. ...

Politeness is often praised as professionalism. But in many workplaces, it is also a form of control. Mintslate Media’s upcoming psychological horror film Job Seekers examines how politeness operates as an unspoken rule within professional systems, especially when power is uneven and opportunity is scarce. Rather than presenting the workplace as neutral, the film reveals how survival can depend on silence, compliance, and emotional restraint. Founded in February 2025 by filmmaker Seyi Oluwatimilehin, Mintslate Media was created to tell stories rooted in lived experience. Job Seekers, directed by Seyi Oluwatimilehin and Alan Vega, reflects that vision by centering its story on Maya, a young immigrant attending a job interview that could determine her right to stay. “One of the reasons I founded Mintslate Media was to tell stories that are real, stories that are relatable, honest, and true to our time and existence,” Seyi Oluwatimilehin says. “Every one of these films carries a piece of ...

   Sineli Telecoms has launched a seasonal connectivity initiative aimed at easing mobile data challenges faced by travellers during the December peak travel period, widely referred to as Detty December. The initiative comes as international travel volumes surge during the festive season, a time when many travellers encounter connectivity difficulties immediately upon arrival. Common challenges include high roaming charges, unreliable public Wi-Fi, and delays associated with purchasing physical SIM cards. According to the Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Sineli Telecoms, Ayo Afonja, the initiative was designed to respond to a recurring pain point within the global travel ecosystem. “December is one of the busiest travel periods globally, and it consistently exposes how difficult it can be for travellers to stay connected immediately after landing,” Afonja said. “Reliable connectivity has become a basic travel expectation, yet it is still not guaranteed in many destinatio...

  Jubril Arogundade , a former senior executive of CIG Motors , has clarified the circumstances surrounding his departure from the company, following recent media reports and public commentary that inaccurately described his exit as a termination. Mr. Arogundade stated that he voluntarily resigned from his position on December 2, 2025, in full compliance with his contractual obligations and established internal procedures. He explained that his resignation was submitted in writing, formally acknowledged by management, and included an agreed notice period and structured exit timeline. He stressed that any public representation of his departure as a termination is false and does not reflect the actual sequence of events. “I resigned from my position at CIG Motors after careful consideration and in line with due process,” he said. “It is concerning that my voluntary exit has been mischaracterised. I believe strongly in transparency and professionalism, and I am compelled to set the re...

 BEYOND THE BOTTLE: HOW I TURNED LUXURY INTO A MOVEMENT By Kosiso Ilechukwu, CEO of Fragrance Planet Kosiso Ilechukwu If someone had told me ten years ago that I’d one day run a company generating millions in revenue, I would’ve smiled politely and changed the subject. Not because I didn’t think I could; but because women like me weren’t expected to. You see, when you’re a young Nigerian woman with ambition, people are quick to label your dreams as unrealistic; until you prove them wrong. And that’s exactly what I did. My name is Kosiso Ilechukwu, Founder and CEO of Fragrance Planet. What started as a spark of curiosity and a love for fine scents in 2018 has grown into one of Nigeria’s most respected perfume brands. But beyond the success story lies something deeper, a rebellion. A quiet, fragrant revolution built on one belief: luxury should be accessible. THE SPARK THAT STARTED THE FIRE Fragrance has always fascinated me; its ability to tell a story evokes emotion and command pre...
