    The Wired Hub What’s the most anticipated tech release of the year?

    Honestly, I’m just waiting for any phone that will create a battery that can survive the epileptic power supply in my country. 🤣 All these big specs are only good on paper. They all have bad batteries. I’m not even excited with fancy camera, just give me a phone with durable battery, I'm good.

    The Admin Hub How do you handle difficult customers or clients?

    Some clients are quite cool, but some can be very negative like they just want to bring you down. 😂 For me, I don’t like fermenting trouble, so I let people talk first because sometimes, a good number of them speak out of frustration. But other times, I stood my ground because some people can...

    The Admin Hub How do you prioritize tasks and stay organized as an admin?

    Being an admin is not as easy as it seems to so many people, especially when messages and tasks are piling up. Personally, I like to jot things down and rate them from what is most important to what can wait to be done the next day. If I don’t prioritize the top three important tasks daily, I’d...

    The Admin Hub What’s the best way to manage a remote team?

    Remote work is very interesting, but it's going to be very difficult if your team is not serious.

    General Who did you last talk to?

    I recently spoke with a friend who was grumbling about how pricey everything has become. We concluded by joking that being an adult mainly involves covering bills and acting like you have everything figured out. That's what we quietly go through as an adult

    General What Was The Last Thing That Made You Laugh/Smile?

    What made me laugh was a meme about a person attempting to manage their finances, yet still being broke before the month was over. I can relate to that joke. It's like it's been addressed to me 😅.

    Christmas to me, centers more on food and family than presents. Back in the day, it was the occasion when everyone cooked as if they were preparing to feed the entire village.🤣 The funniest thing is that Christmas food has a distinct taste to our regular food.🤣 I still don't know the secret...

    Icebreaker Questions Gaming

    I’m a casual gamer. I play games casually when I want to unwind. I have football, racing or even simple puzzle games on my phone. Those are the games I play whenever I have a spare time. I gave competitive games a shot once but the insults I received made me quietly switch back to offline games😂.

    Books & Reading Do you prefer physical books, ebooks, or audiobooks?

    I like physical books more because they feel real and I doesn't get me distracted. But ebooks are cheaper and easier to carry around, so I use both. They serve different purposes. I choose audiobooks when I’m traveling, but sometimes the narrator’s voice makes me sleepy 😂. If Nigeria had cheaper

    The Admin Hub Who can code Php, the language of much forum software?

    Honestly PHP seems easy while reading up on it, but when you actually dive in, you will end up staring blankly 😂. The forums and sites still rely on it, making PHP developers very important. I also want to be able to craft code without crashing the entire site. Maybe someday I’ll learn it.

    Musical films are fun to watch though they aren’t necessarily my top pick every time. But I used to watch them a lot back in the day. There was one I used to watch on DVD player. Those guys are super funny 🤣.

    What did you last watch on TV?

    I watched a documentary about lions some hours ago. Even though I didn't have the intention to watch anything, I actually plan to get busy with work but somehow, I got hooked. I think TV has this knack for catching you with shows you didn't mean to watch.
