Humans of Lagos "As a self taught web designer, I referred a lady that complained of being horny and doesn't want to have sex to check a website for remedy to her predicament. She couldn't believe my utterance, but I was so sure that she would find solutions on the Internet. In this age, solutions to our daily challenges are readily available within our reach. However, we get carried away with social media that we have limited the capability of the world wide web. I studied accountancy,  but when my love for the ICT grew so much, I learnt more stuff via the Internet.  Now I am sharing this knowledge with her. Now like me, she knows how to cope with being horny. Through the Internet, self-help lessons are within reach." © FERT, 2016

Humans of Lagos "So I've now confirmed the wise saying that you shouldn't wait for people validation of you. I have this man,  who by design happens to be my boss at work. I took my work to him to vet, but he ended up destroying my confidence. He did not do a constructive criticism of my work, but sold to me few of his poorly articulated prose which he expected me to glorify. Just because he's a boss. I gave him a free copy of my book,  yet he did not read it. He's comfortable with reading the works of celebrity writers than I who he considered to be a nobody.

I need to balance things." © FERT, 2016

Humans of Lagos. "I'm a man of principle. I plan my life, rolling out my visions and missions to bring them into life. During my undergraduate days, I targeted the grade I wish to finish with and I accomplished it. First class no doubt! I secured a great job in the midst of scarcity because I set my bar high. However, I lost my vision into the job. Too demanding a job with no happiness to show for it. My best is not always enough for my employer, and I now question how I did it in the university.
