"Working at NAVI wasn't just a job—it was like finding a second family, complete with the cool aunt who sneaks you extra dessert (in this case, snack packs from Lagos' finest restaurants and lounges). Sometimes, it's Ziya, and other days, it's Bature. Rare - a Nigerian workspace where toxicity is replaced by a breath of fresh air, so refreshing, you'd think we were working in an oxygen bar. There was a perfect blend of thoughtful management and employees with hearts of gold and souls that sparkled brighter than a disco ball. Speaking of disco, our COO moonlighted as the office DJ. He turned Fridays into a musical roulette. One minute you're vibing to Charlie Puth, the next you're swaying to Bill Withers, and before you know it, you're belting out "Olufunmi o" with Styl Plus. It was like working in a live-action Spotify playlist, curated by DJ Razak. But the real magic was in the conversations. We sometimes spent entire mornings discussing... well, everything but work. From pondering the intricacies of human nature to dissecting MrBeast's video, our chats were as diverse as Lagos traffic and twice as entertaining. And let's not forget the true perk of any modern workplace: lightning-fast WiFi. At NAVI, downloading the latest games or binge-worthy TV shows wasn't frowned upon. (Okay, maybe not officially, but nobody was complaining about my suddenly extensive game collection.) In the whole 9-to-5 drudgery, NAVI was —unexpected, delightful, and left you wanting more. It was the first and only time I've worked a hybrid model, and let me tell you, FOMO has never been so real on work-from-home days. Sincerely, NAVI was one of the best chapters in my career, complete with plot twists, unforgettable characters, and a soundtrack that would make any playlist jealous."
