In an era where information is power, few wield it as inclusively as Aramide Oyekunle, the force behind the X account @AramideOyekunle, known as “Jobs with Aramide.” With over 257,000 followers and a blue-verified status, Aramide has built a digital empire dedicated to democratizing access to job opportunities. But it’s her unwavering commitment to transparency that sets her apart. Guided by a bold manifesto—”I will never hide a Remote work or Job updates. It’s literally an open spaces, lots of skills are being hired for. It’s survival of the fittest, so why hide it. I will tell you how to get in, and allow you to figure the rest out. The days of gatekeeping are over!”—Aramide is using social media not just to inform, but to empower a global community of job seekers.
The Anti-Gatekeeping Manifesto: A Foundation for Openness
At the heart of Aramide’s approach is a rejection of the scarcity mindset that has long plagued professional networks. Gatekeeping—the practice of hoarding job leads, application links, or insider tips—stems from fear, as she recently pointed out in a post: “Gatekeeping comes from fear. Fear that there isn’t enough. Fear that someone else’s success takes away from yours. Fear that opportunity is limited.” But in today’s borderless job market, amplified by remote work and technology, Aramide argues there’s abundance for those prepared to seize it.
Her principles emphasize execution over exclusivity: “Information Is Not the Advantage, Execution Is.” Recruiters, she explains, prioritize skills, experience, clarity, confidence, and alignment—not who stumbled upon a listing first. By sharing opportunities openly, Aramide levels the playing field, encouraging followers to focus on readiness rather than racing against hidden barriers. This philosophy isn’t just rhetoric; it’s woven into every post, turning her X feed into a real-time resource hub.
Putting Principles into Practice: Real-World Sharing on X
Aramide’s social media strategy is straightforward yet revolutionary: spot opportunities, verify them, and broadcast them widely. She doesn’t just drop links; she provides context, tips, and motivation to help users “figure the rest out.” Take her recent thread on anti-gatekeeping, posted just hours ago, where she declared, “The Days of Gatekeeping Are Over. There was a time when job opportunities were treated like secrets. People hid remote roles. They refused to share application links. They whispered opportunities to ‘their people.’ They hoarded information like it was currency. That era is over!
“This isn’t empty talk. In a practical example, Aramide shared a detailed list of “Remote jobs paying in dollars that Nigerians aren’t talking about!” Highlighting niches like Technical Writing & Documentation (paying $50–$150 per article or $4k+ monthly), Revenue Operations ($35–$60 per hour), AI Data Labeling & Prompt Engineering ($15–$25/hour), and Localization & Regional Strategy ($2k–$5k per project), she directed followers to platforms like Hashnode, Substack, GitHub, Pave, Ottodata, DataAnnotation, OutlierAI, Invisible_HQ, and Wellfound. Accompanied by an infographic for easy scanning, the post garnered hundreds of views and bookmarks, embodying her “tell you how to get in” ethos.
Her feed is a constant stream of such updates. From celebrating community wins—”The amount of people getting the jobs this month is so heartwarming. ‘I got the job’ tweet everywhere! Love it”—to motivational prayers for job seekers, Aramide fosters a supportive ecosystem. She even promotes her Telegram channel for first-hand openings and offers services like CV writing and LinkedIn optimization via WhatsApp, ensuring followers have tools to compete in this “survival of the fittest” landscape.
Beyond jobs, Aramide injects humor and realism, like her viral quip: “If your job doesn’t promote you after five years you can legally embezzle.” While tongue-in-cheek, it sparks conversations about career growth, aligning with her no-holds-barred style. And in a nod to workplace dynamics, she reminds followers: “Co-workers are hardly ever your friend. Soon as somebody leaves the job, most communication stops.” These insights build trust, positioning her as a relatable guide in a competitive world.
The Impact: Empowering Thousands in a Borderless Economy
With 257,645 followers tuning in, Aramide’s influence is undeniable. Her posts rack up thousands of views, likes, and reposts, amplifying opportunities across borders—especially for Nigerians and Africans eyeing dollar-paying remote roles in Web3, SaaS, and AI. By focusing on verified vacancies in full-time, remote, hybrid, and emerging fields, she counters the opacity of traditional job boards. Followers aren’t just passive consumers; they’re encouraged to act, network, and upskill.
This open-source approach has ripple effects. It challenges systemic gatekeeping in industries where connections often trump talent, particularly in underrepresented regions. As remote work erases geographical limits, Aramide’s model proves that sharing doesn’t diminish one’s edge—it multiplies collective success. Her community responds with gratitude, sharing success stories that fuel the cycle of positivity.
