“Not every design decision is about UX.” I’m currently redesigning our web dashboard at Sycamore.NG, and one of the major changes I made was moving the navbar from the side to the top. Why? No deep UX reasoning. No “best practice” guiding this. Just vibes… and aesthetics. I did a competitor analysis to study user behavior and see what people are accustomed to. Some platforms use a side navbar, while some use a top navbar but I found that users are accustomed to both. I even asked a few users, and the only feedback I got was, “It’ll feel different, but I wouldn’t have a problem with it.” So, I made the call. We’ve had a side navbar for so long, and I wanted the dashboard to feel fresh. That’s it. No UX implications, just a cleaner, more modern look. And honestly? Sometimes, that’s reason enough. Not every decision needs to be about usability. Some things just look better. Ever made a design call purely for aesthetics? How did it turn out?

It appears that as the big age 3.0 approaches, there's a sense of panic—like you're no longer allowed to just "wing it" in life. Your brain instantly flashes an image of your retirement, and deep down, you just know you need to start racing against time to "secure the bag". These thoughts triggered me to take my finances more seriously. Today, I’d like to share my top four lessons on starting your investment journey as a beginner—things they definitely don’t teach you in school. 1) Investing Is Like Dating – Don’t Fall for Red Flags It's easy to hear people talk about investments and throw advice your way, but if you're clueless, you're bound to burn your hard-earned money. That’s why research is key. Start with the basics: What is investment? Why is it important? What are the different asset classes an individual should own? How can I diversify my portfolio? These are crucial questions that will help you make informed decisions instead of just jumping in blindly. 2) You Have to Be Consistent Investing is like Valentine’s Day—you always know when it’s coming. Same goes for your salary—you know when to expect it. So, plan ahead: Decide when to invest. Determine how much you’ll invest. Spend the rest of the month learning about the asset class you’ve chosen. The good news? You can now automate your investments so you never miss a contribution. 3) The ‘Sapa-Proof’ Guide to Investing I used to think I needed to be a billionaire before I could start investing. Lo and behold, I can still grace the cover of Forbes by: Owning fractional shares Committing to money market funds Investing in ETFs And guess what? You can start with as little as ₦5,000—or even less, depending on your budget. 4) Your Money Deserves Better Than Your Bank Account Leaving all your money in a savings account is like owning a plant but refusing to water it for a year—no growth, just sadness, and then... it dies. Instead, make your money work for you by putting it in: Stocks: Like planting yams, it takes time to grow but yields returns. Mutual Funds: Safe, steady, and boring—but sometimes boring is good. This is why I also enjoy keeping my money in my Sycamore.NG wallet—I earn daily wallet interest or create a target contribution for easy, cool cash. My money just works for me. That’s how I steadily buy airtime and data—plus, there’s a cashback feature too! Moral of the Story: Don’t let inflation rob you while you sleep. Start investing today!
