Should I Resign?

naira lander pls advise me ooooo, i am currently employ with a coy on marina but leave in festac. salary barely leave anything for savings except for extras we get from behind the door business deal and this is not forthcoming any longer.
A formal school mate is inviting me to join him in oil and gas biz which he himself is still new in it.he is saying that the only way he can reward me for those days i stood with him when thing was down financially for him. I am an expentant father with barely no savings as i lost most part of my investment in the stock crash. SO do i join my friend or hope a better job will come my way. Naira ander where do i go from here??

my brother, because there are others who want the job you have does not mean you should continue to stay in that dead beat job, if you know your friend very well and can vouch for his honesty and thruthfulness then i suggest you look into his proposal, go through it thoroughly and then if it is ok, resign and join him.

how would you feel if you say no and in three years time he becomes the talk of the town. believe me, you will feel terrible, very terrible. do not be afraid to take risks,

First thing first, you did not post this for us to advice you on whether to resign or not. You did this because you want us to succeed or fail in convincing you to take risk(s). Risk(s) requires complete evaluation before you take it or them as the case may be. If you have not fully evaluated the situation at hand, making any decision based on what we say here will either hunt you or make you come back and say a big thank you. I will suggest you do a thorough evaluation of the new proposal and what you stand to gain from your current job (i am concerned about skills you can develop). Always remember, how relevant a skill is depends on how relevant you made/make it. My brother, you have to work on developing skills that will make you relevant in the present nigeria. That way, you may unseat your boss.
