Oxford student who attended £9,600-a-year nursery and four public schools abandons law career... so she can be a star on Instagram
Grace Beverley, 21 shelved plans for law career to be a Instagram influencer

Under the name GraceFitUK, she already has more than a million followers online
She shares exercise tips and uses social media to sell her own fitness products and endorse other brands with sponsored videos.

She attended a £9,600-a-year nursery and no fewer than four public schools, then won a place at Oxford.

But well-heeled Grace Beverley, 21, has now shelved plans for a career in law – to become a full-time ‘Instagram influencer’ instead.

Under the name GraceFitUK, she already has more than a million followers online, where she shares exercise tips in tight sportswear. She uses social media to sell her own fitness products – and endorse other brands with sponsored videos.

Miss Beverley went to Oxford after getting an A*, two A's and one B at A-level at the prestigious St Paul’s Girls’ School in west London. This followed periods at three other private schools during a six-figure education that began at a bilingual nursery, La Petite Ecole Francaise, which now costs £9,600 per year.

Her father, Peter, runs his own business consultancy while her mother, Victoria, is a senior curator at the Victoria and Albert Museum.

However, instead of pursuing a high-powered professional career like many of her peers, Miss Beverley hopes to emulate the likes of Zoella – the British social media superstar worth an estimated £2.5million.

Social media stars – or ‘influencers’ – earn money through partnerships with brands which pay them to advertise their products. They can make up to £100 per post if they have up to 10,000 followers, while for those with a fanbase of 100,000, the money can rise to £350 per post.


Miss Beverley, who already posts around four sponsored videos a month, has 366,000 followers on YouTube and 837,000 on Instagram – meaning she could be commanding considerably higher fees.

The Oxford music student is due to complete her degree at St Peter’s College next year, and had intended to take a professional qualification afterwards to begin a career in law or the City. However, she has now decided to pursue her online work instead.

The undergraduate began posting photos online during her A-levels to track her exercise progress, and even blocked ‘around 400’ people she knew from accessing the page out of embarrassment. ‘I wanted to get fit for summer and didn’t expect it to continue,’ she said. Miss Beverley insisted that her social media commitments have not affected her studies. ‘If it’s a really stressful week and all I can post is a selfie then that’s that, it’s not the end of the world,’ she said.

‘I will never give the university a reason to think that they are not my top priority.

‘I’m extra-careful and extra-diligent and try extra hard in all my work. I can handle it and I can handle the stress. I like being busy. I’ve worked so hard to get to this point ... I don’t want to look back and think “I could have done so much better”.’

Nice one for you OP.

But you need to watch this. In my little years of experience in online investment, 80% could not stand the test of time as they usually fold up after few months.

I could go on and on to mention names. I usually have post on online investment reviews for my subscribers who need verification of a scheme before investing. I am not undermining your step on this, as it helps to build you to understand capital and risk managements.

The burden swells more when you have downliners when the online investment starts having issues, you won't feel comfortable as you would be held responsible for such doom.

Just step carefully. All the best in your investment.

Feeding the data networks is alarming.

I subscribe for minimum of 2 GB for Airtel, 8 GB Glo, 2 GB MTN, 1 GB Smile monthly. Due to the nature of my business. Switching at intervals once a network is down.

It seems there is a compromise the way the data just melt away like a wax. The customers protective right agency and NCC should see to this.

Madam, at least if you need traffic. try to create your thread. Don't poo on someone else's thread.

cyndy1000:
Alright whatever you think that would rock you guys boat, just do the right thing. Don't think more of the money. Remember if he comes that doesn't mean you people shouldn't go to Uk later to see him.

25years isn't easy sha you, your mom deserve some accolades. Wish you all the best.

Thanks for your advice, it's really commendable. Meanwhile, from the story line, I am not the person in question, it's a friend who sent this to me and needed my advice.

I have related all possible means that popped up my mind and I hope he is able to utilise this opportunity in a wise way.

cyndy1000:
My dear I still stand with him coming that will prove alot. secondly if he does that he puts his family first and it's also means you and your mum worth holding back business and trying to make everything up.
For me that would mean alot to me personally n i don't if he just spends a day.

At the same time, the open cheque is also tempting, I think needful if not more important than the parties meeting.

cyndy1000:
Don't bill him yet if he has truly repented he should fine his way to Nigeria and meet you guys first. Any other thing can follow. by then you will see him face to face, know the reasons for his actions, n finally know if he is truly remorseful.

Nice idea....to convince him to come will need time cos he has business to take care there for now. Probably arranging to go meet in in UK might make a lot of sense.

With the current “trend” of maternity and paternity scandals . . . . A DNA TEST is needed, then we go from dia.

I dey suspect the woman too!

GO AND DO A DNA TEST!

Well, I can agree less to your point. But his mother has already a tuned to the fact that the rumoured father is the biological father.

adekalumichael:
As long as the mother confirms he is the real father, accept him.

Though it shows he is financially buoyant, don't capitalise on that.

Take care of your mother from whatever he sends and continue adding valued to yourself.

If I get you quite well, he should accept his father, accept his cash and maintain his mother.

Who else feels this sounds like those wacky Nollywood drama?

Everything in life is drama.

Same with what you are facing too.

We are talking about someone sharing what he is passing through, until someone jumps on third mainland bridge before your doubting Thomas believes.

We know, what should he do in this instance?

Can one estimate all struggle and shame in values?

UK Based Father Begging To Claim His Nigerian Born Child 25 Years After Denying His Mother's Pregnancy.

Wonders they say shall never cease in this life. Some things we do watch in movies are real and are microcosm of happenings around us daily.

A friend shared this message with us today as he sought our opinions on his personal issues.

He said for 25 years now, he never knew his biological father as attempts to forced her mother to reveal whose child he is has been futile.

Every time he brings the issue up, it seems the mother burst into tears, even when he threatened to commit suicide if she failed to reveal the secret behind his birth.

The secret is becoming clearer recently when dude received a strange message from one[b] Mr A[/b] from UK who claimed to be his father.

Dude thought he was a scammer disguised using international number until dude confirm same from his mother.

The man sounded repented and ready to amend his mistakes to claim his son back after 25 years he denied being responsible of the bastard pregnancy.

Truly, dude and mum went through tough time here in Lagos. He was raised under the bridge, went to secondary school, later to the university where he studied accounting.

But today, he is a chattered accountant working in a reputable bank with two masters at 25 years.

Now father is giving him an open cheque to ask whatever he wants including all expenses dude's mum has spent that he is ready to recompense as UK based father has been divorced by British wife who later revealed that the 3 children born in UK were not for the man.


Still thinking how much dude should ask.

Please, what can he do at this stage?

Should he Collect money and father or still remain adamant of bearing the grudges with his biological father?

As far as I agree that there is money in forex, it is misleading to tell people that investing with as low as #2500 will yield this acclaimed profit.

It sometimes make people lose hope in credible business like this.

The fact that you want to attract people should not come with sweet headlines.

Forex is good, but requires time and knowledge to make money from it.

Change your baited topic

Thanks for this. After I reviewed on money making ways on a blog, I started receiving backlash that many of digital entrepreneurs are scammers making too loud noise of earning money online when this is not true.

@OP, I may not doubt how profitable FX is, but coming here to say with so small amount one could usurp that big profit in a month sounds too good to be true which you know.

Forextime, Alpari, Instaforex, DXM, Meta Traders etc. cannot promise such amount.

Serial sex-offenders
The same men will call women OLOSHOS!
Mytcheeeeeeeeeeew.

Na soooooo.

A professor with the English Department of the University of Lagos (UNILAG) is the most recent higher institution lecturer to be embroiled in a sex-for-mark scandal.

A student of the school reached out to LIB to lament how she was forced to exchange sex for marks by the professor.

She also shared nude photos of the professor, adding that she hopes her decision to come forward will stop him from victimizing other students. She said:

I have been suffering this for months now. Whenever students go to his office for anything he is always trying to touch you. I took pictures of him on one of the days I entered his office. He has made molestation a part of him. I’m even scared for my life in UNILAG. That’s why I’m reaching out to you so he can be stopped.

He is a profesor in the English department, Faculty of Arts. I am not his first victim. He does this all the time to students. I have completely given up when it comes to academics he has failed me on tests before. When I talked to him concerning it he told me I should know what to do I am an adult. I feel so dirty for even allowing such an old man touch me. But he doesn’t even care.

As long as you satisfy his wants. I’m tired of everything. He should be stopped before he ruins the lives of other innocent girls in that English Department. When he touches me I am always in tears but it doesn’t stop him. Please this is why i am reaching out all I want is for him to be stopped. He is destroying the mental state of girls in UNILAG.

I just want him stopped. I reached out because I don’t want him to continue molesting girls. The English department is like a cult. The lecturers have information amongst themselves. They talk about the girls they have slept with and the ones they plan to sleep with. It has been going on for years.

#TimeToReasonIsNow

Google just awarded a Uruguayan teenager a "bug bounty" of more than $36,000.
He reported a security flaw that would have allowed him to make changes to internal company systems.
It marks Pereira's fifth accepted bug, but it's by far his most lucrative

Ezequiel Pereira was about a month shy of 17 when he first got paid for exposing a Google security flaw through its bug bounty program.

Pereira got his first computer when he was 10, took an initial programming class when he was 11 and then spent years teaching himself different coding languages and techniques. In 2016, Google flew him to its California headquarters after he won a coding contest.

His sporadic poking around has finally paid off in a big way: Google just awarded the Uruguayan teenager $36,337 for finding a vulnerability that would have allowed him to make changes to internal company systems.

"I found something almost immediately that was worth $500 and it just felt so amazing," Pereira told CNBC. "So I decided to just keep trying ever since then."

Although Pereira found the bug earlier this year, he only just got permission to write about how he discovered it this week, after Google confirmed that it had fixed the issue.

It marks Pereira's fifth accepted bug, but it's by far his most lucrative.

"It feels really good — I'm glad that I found something that was so important," he said.

In February, Pereira started college for computer engineering in his hometown of Montevideo. When he's finished with his homework and doesn't feel like hanging out with friends or watching videos, he'll whip out his computer and start hunting.

Saving up his winnings
He found his second biggest bug last July, which scored him $10,000, because he was bored during school break. Pereira used a large chunk of that money to apply for scholarships to U.S. universities.

When none of the 20 or so schools he reached out to accepted him, he decided to start school at home.

For now, he has no big plans for his latest winnings besides the occasional outing with friends and helping his mother pay the bills.

He's also saving for future education. Pereira said he hopes to eventually get his master's degree in computer security. Until then, he'll keep bug hunting in his spare time.

At this point, Pereira has only ever submitted vulnerabilities through Google's bounty system, though most major tech companies have programs of their own. Companies say that if they encourage security researchers to test their systems for money, they have a better chance of staving off bad actors.

Google determines payout on whether it could give someone direct access to Google's servers or a client, and how potentially severe an exploit could be. It doled out $2.9 million to 274 different researchers last year, with a top award of $112,500.

Now that Pereira is ranked at number 12 in Google's Hall of Fame, he's received an onslaught of emails from people congratulating him, asking for advice or offering him jobs.

He makes a point to answer every email, and will refer people to different online computer security resources.

None of his close friends have ever submitted a bug of their own, though he tries to encourage them to give it a shot.

"They're interested but they don't think they know enough," he said. "But I always tell them just to try! Anyone can learn these things."

That is suprising sum of #13 million Naira for a 17 years boy.

His success is partly due to early exposure to ICT which many of his agemates lack in Africa.

The economy makes things difficult for transformation between teenager to Adulthood. 45 years man is still struggling and could never boast of saving 500k in a year.

It is noteworthy for our youths to wake up from their day dreams; hoping that somebody will come to dash them money to become a millionaire someday. The last time this happened in my country is in the '60s when the minds were young.

Wakanda Nation based on my finding, your site is still young barely a month it is launched. The domain name is good as it is drafted from the recent slang in a popular film.
Nevertheless, you could attract more traffic with the method of paying visitors to the site through the above highlighted packages.

Your competitors are Nairaland, NNU etc because you adopt the same web template as these mentioned fora.

You can do well to reduce the package fee, even NNU which is months older than you with more than unique visitors of 86,427 as at January, 2018 runs a package of #1,600. Considering that your renumeration is the same with this site as well, convincing people to join the forum may seems not logical under this fact.

I appreciate wakanda nation and I will still continue to check on the website, just in my opinion, reducing the registration fee will encourage more visitors ( I can pull more than your total members as of today provided you work on the charge).

jaychubi:
Must she urinate or poo there daily

She shld resign n let another lady have d job now

She is bent on resigning but if a good suggestion like her not using the comfort room could be a better advice for her.

fatymore:
maybe she doesn't watch American films...whenever she wants to urinate..let her say it loudly so the IT guy can hear inside the toilet .....
Me: IT guy I want to urinate...next thing to do, is to cover the camera with a towel or anything...if they ask her why she did, let her explain she isn't comfortable with people seeing her unclothedness...from there, they would get the drift.

This seems a better advice to give her. But based on what she said about her organization, that may attract query and consequently lead to sack.

amalder:
maybe she is doing something illegal in there.

She is a decent lady as far as I have known her.

Emmatik:
Is she the only female working there?...All other females should resign too...Op abeg this sun too much for this kind yeye story

Sorry for the sun bro. Ladies are different from one another, what some can bear, others may not tolerate.

Khd95:
dont u know some people dey watch indecent films for office

Lolz, you must have had that experience often and already downloaded such films too.

Khd95:
here talk,when no be say u wan go self service for there,why u dey fear

Self service? You mean masturbating? Abah, we are talking about an organisation. Do you feel orgasm when at work?

Tosinex:
That's not enough reason for her to resign. Atleast you don't take your bath in the toilet all you do is to poo or urinate which you can do without exposing any of your private to the cameras face, stay blessed!

That may depend. Sometimes ladies want to check or change pads, there is much possible some uncovered parts will be picked by the CCTV.

Hello Nairalanders,

A female friend came to meet me for an urgent advice as to whether she should resign as soon as this month end.

The organisation she works for pasted an internal memo that says that "Henceforth, CCTV devices shall be installed in all workers toilet including male and female to put security check in place beginning from next week.

As a female, she feels that will be kind of shameful for the IT personnel incharge of monitoring CCTV to be watching her and other female colleagues when they do their poos or pass urine.

She is fed up with the company and its unexpected decisions that usually come without consulting the staff.

Should she go ahead to tender her resignation as from next week since the month is coasting to an end?

Your advice will go a long way to help her.

Help with housework in exchange for cuddling. This is funny.

She should employ a scanning robot to scrutinize visitors. I trust my naija people, they would default just to make her frustrated.

New mother pens a list of RULES for house guests arriving to see the baby including washing their hands and helping with chores – but is she being unreasonable?

All parents worry about their children, but one mum-to-be has been mocked for enforcing an extremely strict set of rules ahead of her new arrival.

Mumsnet user Frenchwolf86, believed to be from the UK, came under fire after revealing the 13 rules she expects all visitors to follow when they come to meet her newborn baby.

The guidelines include a change of clothes after smoking and even helping out with housework in return for cuddles with the infant.

But the expectant mother has been mocked by other Mumsnet users, who joked that she wouldn't get many visitors if she enforced the rules.

Frenchwolf86 kicked off the discussion by asking fellow mums if she was being unreasonable for asking people to follow the rules.

She wants prospective visitors to be extra clean, which means washing their hands every time they hold the baby and no visiting if they've recently been ill, she explained.

The mum-to-be also stipulated that feeding time is private, the baby needs to sleep only in her crib and she cannot be posted about on social media.

But perhaps the most extreme rule on the list was her request that visitors help with the housework if they come to spend time with the baby.

Other Mumsnet users were left in stitches at her diva-like demands, with many saying that the baby must be her first.

One said: 'Is this for real? I doubt you'll get any visitors at all if you issue that list of rules! Or is that the idea...? Ah, very clever OP. Keep the in-laws away, eh?'

'Haha this has made me smile! I don’t think you’ll have many visitors,' another posted.

A third said: 'This can't be real No one is this ridiculous.'


'Helping around the flat is hilarious! I'd pass on holding the baby!,' a fourth wrote.

However, others were a little more sympathetic and said her requests were entirely unreasonable.

One posted: 'I would have thought that that was all common sense when you visit a new born?'

'Are you feeling quite anxious op? I was terrified before ds (darling son)was born and everybody has their way of trying to alleviate the stress,' another wrote.

'I guess these rules are yours. Try to relax a bit though if you can.'

A third said: 'I sort of get where you are coming from with some of the rules, but I think it's a bit excessive. If anyone does anything that bothers you, just ask/ tell them to stop doing it.'

A fourth agreed: 'None of these (apart from maybe 5, just because of how it's phrased) are unreasonable but the fact that you feel like you have to set them out in a list like this makes me wonder if you're dealing with some difficult people in your life.
