Ishilove:
Look who came back from hiatus

Thanks for the kind greeting!

My advice, and I will go straight to the points, no psyches:

Make your health your number 1 priority at this time.

If your girlfriend is adding to your stress with your health condition then she's not the one for you.

Focus your effort on getting your life together - health and job. You didn't say your age or qualification so it's difficult to advise in that regard.

Stay in your mother's house as you can't afford your own place yet - I don't think your Mum wants you out.

The girl is a liability, drop her like she's hot. Now! If as a girlfriend she's giving you this level of pressure, believe me, you won't enjoy being married to her.

My candid advice.

Oh yes Willie is working!

Lol can't laugh enough

This is what happens when you avoid addressing your low self-esteem problems.

Depends on what criteria you are using to determine 'better'. You will need to supply more information about your expectations for a more robust answer. Note however that a City & Guilds certificate is a vocational qualification while a BSc is academic.

That my feelings may diminish in the future and I'll want out

Masterbiodun:

Nna,
When you grow to that level you will understand. All over the world, conglomerate take loans to build industries & empower millions of people. No pain, at all.

Dude if you understood the comment you quoted you really wouldn't have bothered typing the above.

Sierra Leonean nurses and docs must really be messed up then.

Imagine having a healthcare arrangement worse than Nigeria's! Lol

There's nothing more traumatic than debt

Try excruciating pain first.

These are 'Nigerian' problems my friend. What's going on in these schools is a reflection of what's been going on in the country they're situated, and virtually every aspect of Nigeria is bedeviled with these problems.

Which way Nigeria?

WTF is Saraki working to improve power supply for, is that his job?

No one in Nigeria seems to know the actual functions of the legislature.

The legislature is ignorant of its own duties, the executive does not know, journalists do not know, our legal practitioners do not know and obviously the citizenry is fully unaware. Thus the legislature continue to get away with all sorts of nonsense like this!

If it's a permanent contract by all means go for the British High Commission job.

Usually their pay is good and comes with benefits. They respect closing times as stipulated in your contract (you're expected to go home once it's closing time regardless) and there are no marketing targets. It is a generally saner environment to work in compared to the Nigerian banking industry.

If I was faced with such a choice I won't blink before knowing what to do.

kateskitty:
I just had an interesting job interview today and every thing was going really well until they asked that much dreadful question

How much do we pay you?
No matter how many times I hear that question or rehears my answer, I always find a way to Fu?k up my answer.

Before I say anything further, this role is for someone with experience which I have, so why on earth will I be calling 70k for an experienced position. Even some entry level position pay 6 figures, now I'm afraid they wouldn't call me back because they think I'm a joke to have said 70k.
And if you are wondering what happened that I said 70k that's because when I was asked that question, I was thinking about something else the number 70 was the first number that popped into my head
Sh!t

The deed's done so just keep your fingers crossed and send in a follow up email/call on Monday to know status.

^^ You're absolutely right!

You don't need an agent!

Getting the visa needs you to go to their website to find out the requirements for the type of visa you want and apply, and then make sure you meet whatever the requirements are.

I got a business travel visa from there last month and if I remember correctly I think the fee was around 33K. Add to that the mandatory cost of travel insurance which is dependent on the intended duration of stay - the two week travel insurance I bought cost less than 10K.

So all in all it cost less than 50K. If you/your brother is ready to pay N1.3m you can contact me for assistance - I'll give you 50% off that charge and ask for 650K only

See attached for further information and a list of required documents.

Why blur their faces? Aren't those pictures on social media already?

I don't understand the rationale either

So the lady tweeted it to her followers openly, but whoever copied it to post here decided to hide her twitter handle??

Sold

If you want to bump your topic I think you should write something meaningful and not just a couple of dots.

Magodo, Lagos.

Where are the optometrists and other health sector workers?

Have you considered trying the NL Health section?

I am unsure what you want to do because you mentioned needing to get more education as well as looking for a job.

So, ask yourself the following question and answer honestly:

What kind of professional career do I want?

The answer to that question should determine the action(s) you will take.

My personal opinion however is this: In present day Nigeria I do not think further education will make you more employable than you already are with your HND. What I believe you require now is actual job experience.

My advice: List all the organizations where you think your skills/qualifications are useful. Begin to research them one after the other to discover if you have any contacts there which may make your approach easier, and if not approach them nonetheless. Be ready to volunteer your services in order to gain experience. Make these potential employers understand that you are willing to learn even if for free (yes!). That way you are within the system and are more likely to hear about job openings than if you were on the outside.

If you volunteer in a good organization, within six months you will gain knowledge and experience that will go on your CV and improve your employment chances elsewhere, build a network of industry contacts, and be privy to insider information that can help you plan your career better. The company may even decide to employ you if they are satisfied or impressed by your contributions during the volunteering period.

What do you think?

This baby is still up for grabs!

I have never heard of "My African Youth Initiative" and a simple Google search returned nothing.

Even the more popular N-Power Program did not require candidates to pay any money so I think you should keep your money in your pocket.
