Jack MA​, The Richest Man in China said:

​If you put Bananas and Money in front of Monkeys, Monkeys will choose Bananas because monkeys do not know that ​Money can buy a lot of Bananas​.​

IN REALITY,
if you offer JOB and BUSINESS to people, they would choose JOB because most people do not know that BUSINESS can bring more MONEY than Wages.

Similarly,
​Robert Kiyosaki​, author of the best selling book "RICH DAD, POOR DAD" and also a business partner of Donald Trump said:
​"One of the reasons poor are poor, is because they are NOT TRAINED TO RECOGNIZE ENTREPRENEURSHIP OPPORTUNITIES.​

They spend too much time in school and what they have learnt in school, is to WORK FOR WAGES instead of MONEY WORKING FOR THEM.

​"Profit is better than Wages, for Wages can make you a living but Profits can bring you a Fortune."​

​THINK INVESTMENT​ and stop fighting over increments of salaries, it still won't be enough
......
​Hear this from a Professor to freshmen and women during their orientation:​ (Actually he is an Acting DVC Academic at a small/new university in Kenya)

"Academic excellence is overrated!
Being top of your class does not necessarily guarantee that you will be at the top of life.
You could graduate as the best student in Finance but it doesn't mean you will make more money than everybody else.
The best graduating Law student does not necessarily become the best lawyer.
The fact is, life requires more than the ability to understand a concept, memorise it and reproduce it in an exam.
School rewards people for their memory.
Life rewards people for their imagination.
School rewards caution, life rewards daring.
School hails those who live by the rules. Life exalts those who break the rules and set new ones.
So do I mean people shouldn't study hard in school? Oh, no, you should. But don't sacrifice every other thing on the altar of First Class.
Don't limit yourself to the classroom. Do something practical. Take a leadership position.
Start a business and fail. That's a better Entrepreneurship 101.
Join or start a club. Contest an election and lose. It will teach you something Political Science 101 will not teach you.
Attend a seminar.
Read books outside the scope of your course.
Go on missions and win a soul for eternal rewards...
Do something you believe in!
Think less of becoming an excellent student but think more of becoming an excellent person.
Don't make the classroom to be your world but Make the world your classroom.
Step forward, try politics, try farming, try business, try an extra thing . ."

pcjuvy:
In my entire career, it's only Nigerian bosses that would make it seem okay for you to work on weekends. All foreign bosses respect weekends and after work hours. In my experience, its only Nigerian bosses and HR that would try to price your wages down like slave drivers. Foreign HR and Bosses are more concerned with paying you a fair wage to ensure you are well motivated


In my experience, foreign employers are less concerned with the appearance of work and more concerned with the content of work, so they allow flexibility in work hours and locations. Nigerian employers stick with the traditional 8-5, and demand physical presence. In my experience, foreign bosses aren't concerned about titles and ranks and try to create structures that are flat where everyone can collaborate with anyone. Nigerian bosses are very hierarchical and you're most talk to your boss, who talks to his boss and he to his boss.


In my experience, foreign employers encourage open dialogs. Every decision can be questioned, challenged and reevaluated. Nigerian employers are military styled. Questioning an instruction is considered insubordination and queries are issued like meal tickets. In my experience, foreign employers try to ensure profit sharing affects all employees. Everyone rises together or falls together. Nigerian employers like to keep the juice at the very top and it won't trickle down. Even your annual bonus is questionable.

I promised myself never to work with non-multinationals again. We are incredibly close minded and shallow in our work styles.I sometimes think our fellow country men are our own worst enemy in the workplace.

Why did you copy someone's tweet from Twitter and come on Nairaland to post his tweets as yours? Are you that shallow? Why couldn't just take a screenshot and post it as a news on the forum?

nasonaso:




You are damn right. I love your write up. Can I post this on a page?

It is not her/his write up. (I know the person is male passing off as female). It was copied from Twitter.

Please I need information about PGDE. (especially Uniport or Rivers State University) Any help or advice will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you
