not working for anyone is good.starting your own business is better.when u get staffs employed and place them on salary, then you would really realize only 30% actually does their job effectively but EVERYONE MUST BE PAID AT THE END OF THE MONTH. open your own business and employ staffs and see for yourself. IF YOU WERE STUPID WHILE WORKING FOR PEOPLE, GIVE UNNECESSARY EXCUSES AND UNHEALTHY ATTITUDE for your laziness and ineffectiveness,inefficiency you would be the same when u open your business. thats y we have alot of companies folding up after 2 years of operation. every one wants to be a boss which is ok but do u really know the responsibility,financial discipline that comes with it?? 2 Likes |

OvertheTop: My problem with u guys is always comparing our minimum wage with foreign minimum wage in Nigeria. Stop comparing our situation with foreign matters. Most of those guys still spend theirs in those countries than they do here. |

Whoever wrote that crap up there probably graduated from a 'Night School'. Firstly, he didn't hide his ignorance of the fact that there's a difference between having a job and having a career. Secondly, he was so myopic to have assumed that everyone has to set up a business with the purpose of becoming wealthy. So, as a lawyer, my whole life & career should be motivated by money and not justice or defending people's rights. Now I know why our society has become what it is. You're posting all these for job seekers (especially in a country where it's hard to get jobs). Like what in the world is the OP trying to achieve? Financial literacy, business education or just posting for fun? Marcus Aurelius once said; 'there are no absolute truths or falsehoods, everything depends on perspective'. I've said it countless times and I'm reiterating it, not every business is worth comparing with salary work. Just as not all salary work is lucrative. 6 Likes 1 Share |

goodnewscliff:Bros, you bottles of chilled Orijin for you. Most people think owning a business is child's play, when the running cost and cost of production hit them, their brain go reset. Every time business business business. I laugh in Mandarin language. The mumu even said you can't be rich working for someone. Na him be sey most of those POS guys and girls for get money pass people wey dey do white collar jobs niyen o. Afterall, they are running their own business. I'll use my uncle as an example, bros owned and ran his business for 17 years, it was always from one debt to another. Whenever it's month end and he remembered it's time to pay his staff, bros go begin develop hbp. Lad las, he dusted his certificate and used all his connections to apply to a big firm. Just after a year, bros levels don change. Oya, come judge that case. 2 Likes |

These "truths" are not all true... 1. A salary won't make you wealthy - doctors, financial advisors, senior engineers and mid- to senior-level managers in the US can get rich easily on a salary. 2. Your boss doesn't care about your career growth (debatable) - Depends. Some bosses do. 3. A business pays you the least amount possible to maximize profit - Not always true. That depends on how competitive the market is for your skills. If your skills are competitive, you have leverage to demand higher pay in order for them to retain your services. 4. Company loyalty is a dumb decision–changing jobs pays more - Not always true. Some companies offer benefits like pensions and gratuity that is directly tied to how long you stayed with the company. 5. People go to jobs (mostly) cause they don't know what else to do - Not always true. 6. Most people have no idea what their passion is, so they lie - Tough to argue this applies to "most people" 7. Hours worked has nothing to do with value created - True. 8. Most of the stuff you buy keeps you tied to a job - No idea what this means. 9. Working long hours leads to burnout - True. Take your vacations! 10. Job titles are meaningless. They're just ego. - Not always. Many job titles are specifically tied to compensation. 11. You're not entitled to a raise, promotion ... or anything - False. You are entitled to a raise and promotion. Work hard and ask for it. 12. Those who get the best jobs are the ones that network the best - Hard to debate the value of networking. 5 Likes |
