Nigerian women at the World Cup, a remote externship with a $500 stipend, and doing business in Nigeria!
5 minutes read
Hey sis,
How are you doing this week? I know the increase in the price of fuel and pretty much everything else is not giving, so, I’m sending you lots of hugs.
On great news, Nigeria’s women’s team is playing in the FIFA Women’s World Cup and they absolutely held their own in the match against Canada who are the current Olympic champions. Me, I’m not surprised at all because Naija women are phenomenal like that! We make the best out of very little and even with everything that could go wrong, we still rise. On Thursday, they would be playing against Australia, and if you can, I hope you will be watching, sis.
