alijusty:
Please i would like to join the group for the contribution and please let's target real skill based training that can add value to our graduates. Nigeria can and would be GREAT.

dfrost:


Counting on all well-meaning Nigerians support. Also which is better for most of us: WhatsApp or BBM? so we don't need to create three channels. NL is one channel so we need another channel for on-the-road contributors.

VickyRotex:


I vote for BBM Please!

dearpreye:


Funny! But there's an elephant in every ant na! LOL!

dfrost:


Hi alijusty,

Hope you have 10 naira to spare each month? *chuckles* I sent you a pm.

PS: dearpreye, VickyRotex, mentorandfriend, AgapeCharis, khaynoni, ideykwum, alijusty - can someone suggest a name and dearpreye can create a thread so that the mods can move it to front page so that others can become aware of it.

ideykwum:
I'd suggest BBM because Whatsapp has a limitation of a 100 additions. We'd need a yahoo group too (nothing wrong with a third group for lengthy mails, or forwarding opportunities!).

For a name, I'd draw inspiration from dearpreye and call it "The Entrepreneurial Ants"! Remember, every ant has an Elephant in it (its not only Peak that goes in!).

593EB63E my pin. We await you. We will surely need you to help us detect liars and unscrupulous elements.

Kachisbarbie:
The world doesn't owe you a job.
Very salient point. The so called 'illiterates' have realised and understood this point since ages, yet the self-acclaimed 'literates' have refused to.

ideykwum:
We have created a bbm channel called "The Entrepreneurial Ants"! Please add it!

Just joined.

Mystiq07 and xtreme07, you're all needed here. Come and drop your inspiring words on this thread. Zonax, you're also invited here.

zonax:


Thanks Mr Dearpreye for inviting me here, I was humbled when I got the invite from Dearpreye. once again thanks.


Now talking about purpose, I believe each and everyone of us has his/her calling. Just that some people don't have the urge to take it through.
Imagine what would have lbecame of football if somebody Messi had gone ahead to study Medicine and become a Doctor.
That would have suffered the game of football.

What is plaguing our youths today is not unemployment no that is just a fruit from a huge TREE....We youths were supposed to learn from the previous generations before us... "A wise man learns from other people's experiences to avoid walking the same paths" Many youths today never broke out of the cage placed by society and the values.. They came to this world and become slaves of society and that which was proposed to us, shaped us put us in this state... "The 9stages of life" - Birth- School- Get a job-Hustle to buy a car and build a house-Get married and have children - Foot bills- Get old - Regretting all your lost potentials-Die Lemme give an example...You grew up with either ur parents or institutions or exposure telling you if you have to make it, this is a way "so they carved out the system for you called school" Now is this wrong? No! ... But What they failed to do was to educate you the true essence of school hence the failure formed a Rat race mindset many people find themselves in today. Most of us av bin one dimensional in our lives, from d day of inception to primary. Secondary... University(and the likes) and now out into wat society termed (Job market). What did we expect it's a marketplace (dat means it's not defined...a trade Center.. A value System... If u don't meet the requirements u can't trade... Unfortunately These requirements go beyond wat has been termed school... Employers are looking for assets (what skills have you acquired character wise, intellectual wise and also capability wise) all these go beyond school no one wants a liability... Let me ask this question and sincerly answer yourself (Knowing yourself if you are the owner of a COMPANY WILL YOU EMPLOY YOURSELF) What can u bring to the table.... Wat asset do u have... Wat gives u d confidence that today if that company wants to lay off staffs your name wont be on that list? Most youths today are sell outs they lack character, intergrity wise,also in terms of excellence)...wat are you doing to improve yourself... Wat books are you reading.. . Are you taking a new course to give u that edge career wise? How do u comport yourself . Most of these things are not learnt in school. They are built by oneself with a drive to succeed. Lets take a look at successful people in the world today do you think they became successful by waking up.. Eating... Chating away... Complaining about the government... And doing absolutely nothing waiting for that which you think the government owes you No! go read success stories these people broke out of the bondage of society moving against the wind( do u know how hard that can be? Think about that for a second ) yes exactly that's the path to success.... There is a saying "Show the poor man how the Rich became rich and the poor man will choose to remain poor"...I broke out of these society mindset in my 200l when I was in school at that time I ws already thinking impact... Preserving Posterity... Touching the World globally... I invested in books...building up myself with God's help and prayer too because I knew were I was going and was determined to get there..yes I already knew that which is my purpose in life so I was focused (another major fruit from that tree). Most people don't know their purpose so they live a trial and error life because true fulfilment comes only from fulfilling your God giving purpose... Éven If u secure that job if it isn't ur purpose u will soo become weary.... Stop! Pause! And Think! Wat do u want to make out of this life? Will you remain one pegged by the society or will you break out of that cage and fashion something out of yourself? You need to go to the Job section on Nairaland and see the cast down mentality of Nigerians.... Complaining.. Blaming the government... All These are statement of failures(pls no insults intented) Noone owes you nothing! I personally decided not to visit the jobs section because the mindset of lack can influence me! Nairaland in general... You See youths wasting away their time! This forum was someone's vision if he was wasting away chatting and playing I am sure he would have been among the youths out there crying for help! Start taking responsibility... think outside the box... No Job yet? Good did you seek God's help? Have you taught what can I do with my hands? This no capital story is just an excuse... Have you at least written the wat you want to do in a book...? There are jobs out there. wat is a job? (meeting a need and being paid for it) look around you that thing lacking in your community is a business in disguise..."A young man once met a great man he looked up too and asked to be taught how to be successful... The great man smiled and took him to the swimming pool and dipped d young man's head into the pool.... The young man was fighting for his breathe.. And just a second before he passed out the great man pulled him up. The young man could hardly breathe he was gasping for air...When He caught his breath he looked sternly at his mentor... His mentor smiled and said when your desire to breathe is equal to your desire to succeed then you will be successful!... You cant stay in ur comfort zone and expect things no! Last generation has created their own success stories(Great people who made legacy) it is the turn of our generation... And the sad truth is that most people will recycle the failures of past generations! BREAK OUT TODAY and PRESERVE POSTERITY! HAPPY SUNDAY! #pardonanyerror #faultautocorrect #notimetoedit thanks dearpreye your threads are the only reason I come to nairaland....

dearpreye:


Miss, you just wrote a little book. I doubt if I'll be able to run a great commentary on these awesome words. You captured too many vital points in your comment.

The lesson is, GO AGAINST THE NORMS; FOLLOW NOT THE TREND. Challenge the established traditions. Be a nonconformist.

I'll like to ask that you patiently edit this great comment, and have it spaced into paragraphs. I'll be reading over and over till almost every word sinks into my subconscious.

Cc: bare1, freeage7, ideykwum, dfrost, AgapeCharis, please, come and read wisdom.
