Executive Assistant and Operations Support Job Vacancies

Location: Primarily in person | Lagos (Lekki Phase)

Compensation: From ₦500,000 per month, depending on experience and scope.

Application Deadline: October 16, 2026. Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis, and the role may close early once we find the right candidate.

The Opportunity

We are building a small, high-trust Executive Assistant and Operations Support team for Nichole Yembra. The team will work as one unit to provide thoughtful, coordinated support across:

The Chrysalis Company – a high-performance advisory and investment business, where precision, structured thinking, and strong execution matter.

143 Fitness – a premium Pilates and wellness business focused on excellent operations and customer experience.

House of Nich – Nichole’s private household and personal life, requiring discretion, sound judgment, and strong boundaries. This is a private environment that requires judgment, not familiarity.

This is not a role for someone who needs to be closely managed. You will be trusted to think ahead, solve problems early, and keep priorities moving.

The team coordinates flexible coverage across the week, including some evening and weekend availability where needed. This is not an individual 24/7 on-call role.

Core Responsibilities

As part of a small support team, you will maintain shared context across Chrysalis, 143 Fitness, and House of Nich.
Your day-to-day focus may vary, but the standard remains the same: think ahead, execute accurately, and follow through fully.
You will sit at the centre of how things get done across business and life.
We value integrity, high standards, and simplicity: doing the right thing when no one is checking, delivering clean and complete work, and making things easier to run.
This is a high-trust role and will not be a fit for someone who needs repeated reminders, sends incomplete work, waits for instructions rather than thinking, oversteps personal boundaries, or relies on the founder to fix their work.
General Executive Support

Manage and prioritise calendars with context; prepare meeting briefs, track decisions, and ensure follow-ups are completed.
Turn direction into clear, polished emails, documents, trackers, research, presentations, and practical next steps.
Protect the founder’s time by anticipating needs, flagging issues early, and resolving problems before they escalate.
Build and maintain simple systems that keep information organised, accessible, and easy to use.
Coordinate closely with the wider EA team to ensure strong handovers and continuous coverage.
Chrysalis

Support executive priorities across advisory, investment, and client work.
Coordinate meetings, stakeholders, deadlines, and follow-up actions.
Conduct research and prepare accurate, well-structured briefing documents, presentations, and trackers.
Maintain a high standard of accuracy, organisation, and professionalism in all client-facing work.
143 Fitness

Support day-to-day studio operations, including team, vendor, and customer coordination.
Help maintain a seamless member experience by following through promptly on operational details.
Support scheduling, communications, systems, and projects that improve how the studio runs.
Identify recurring issues and help put practical solutions in place.
Personal and Household Operations

Coordinate personal scheduling, travel, family logistics, and household priorities.
Liaise professionally with household staff and external service providers.
Keep routines, information, and arrangements organised and reliable.
Handle all personal and family matters with maturity, discretion, and clear boundaries.
Across every area, you will be expected to communicate clearly, keep your word, and deliver work that is accurate, complete, and ready to use.
You may also take on other responsibilities reasonably required to keep priorities moving across the team.
What We Are Looking For

At least 3 years’ experience as an Executive Assistant, Personal Assistant, Operations Coordinator, or in another high-trust support role.
Excellent written communication, organisation, judgement, and follow-through.
Strong proficiency in Google Workspace or Microsoft Office, particularly calendars, documents, Excel/Sheets, and PowerPoint/Slides.
Research, Canva, and presentation skills are a plus.
High attention to detail, emotional maturity, and comfort receiving direct feedback.
Comfortable working in a flexible, team-based coverage model.
Lagos based and able to work primarily from Lagos, Lekki Phase 1.
How to Apply

Please complete the application form and submit your current CV along with a short video introduction.

Honestly, the 3–0 loss to Guinea-Bissau was a big wake-up call for Nigeria.

The problem wasn't just losing; it was how we lost. We had the ball and created some chances, but Guinea-Bissau looked more organised and dangerous, especially when they countered.

Our midfield didn't control the game enough, the defence was too exposed, and once we went behind, we struggled to find a way back. We also looked too dependent on individual brilliance rather than having clear attacking patterns.

For me, the way forward is simple: sort out the defence, strengthen the midfield, improve our transition from attack to defence, and create better chances for our forwards.

We have talented players, so this isn't the time to panic or start blaming individuals. But the coaching team needs to learn from this game and make the team more organised.

Nigeria don't just need possession; we need control, structure and ruthlessness. 🇳🇬🦅

naptu2:
Nobodyhas provided any sensible reason why the demarcation is wrong.

Load

Some people are saying that the barriers are too heavy, but they have not provided any evidence that the barriers are too heavy.

Traffic

There is a second Niger Bridge and the barrier does not prevent the previous volume of traffic from using the bridge.

Breakdown

The bridge has enough space for vehicles to go around a broken down vehicle (see photos below).

But let's for argument sake say that there wasn't enough space, all you need to do is provide emergency points at both ends. They should have tow trucks, police vans, ambulances and fire trucks (like we had in Lagos in the 2000s).

The truth is that the only reason why some people are opposed to this is because they don't like the people in government. No other reason.

Dont commend anything go to Ajah and see the robbery ongoing there, down to Abule Egba to Bariga and Ojo axis they are still petty thieves and pockets of crime.

I commend the Lagos State police command for their consistency in nipping in the mud the activities of these miscreants. Lagos Police Command had shown over the years of their pro-activeness in combating robberies, cultism and other social misdemeanors. This is not done in isolation because the State Government under the leadership of Mr Babajide Sanwoolu had been supporting hem with equipment to tackle these menace. Kudos to both the police and the state government

Investment › Re: Fixed Deposit Vs Mutual Funds: Which Pays Returns With ₦100k Investment? by AngelSlay: 6:07pm On Sep 27
Oluwamuyiwa, I honestly like what you are doing. 👏🏽

The fact that you are running a car wash in Dugbe and still taking time to learn about investments, save consistently, and document your experience is something worth encouraging.

My only advice is: don't rush to make the investment comparison look better than it actually is. When you are writing about money, people will rely on those figures, so make sure every rate, tax treatment, withdrawal period and calculation is properly verified before publishing.

Also, distinguish between your actual experience and an illustration. If you didn't actually put ₦100,000 into both products for 90 days, don't call it a test or say one “paid” you a particular amount. Say it is a hypothetical comparison based on the quoted rates.

And don't make it sound as if Money Market Funds are automatically better simply because the quoted return is higher. Look at return, risk, liquidity, fees, taxation and capital protection.

One thing I particularly like about your story is the ₦334 daily saving. That's actually the part I'd emphasize more. You are showing people that you don't need to start with millions before you begin learning about investing.

Keep documenting your journey. Let people see the mistakes, the lessons, the calculations and the progress. That will make Investment4Business much more relatable than simply posting investment rates.

You may be a car wash operator today, but you're building something bigger: financial knowledge, investment discipline and an audience that can learn from your journey.

Keep going, brother. Just make accuracy your number-one rule whenever money is involved. 💪🏽📈
Distribusiness:
Good evening Nairalanders,

My name is Oluwamuyiwa Olusanya, a car wash operator at Dugbe, Ibadan since May 4, 2025. I write an Investment4Business blog.

I want to share a real comparison I did for Fixed Deposit vs Mutual Funds Money Market Fund in 2026, because many people are confused.

I tested with ₦100,000 for 90 days:

A. FIXED DEPOSIT:
- Rate in September 2026: 10-13% for ₦100k (Access Bank 11%, First Bank 10.5%, Stanbic 12% if you have ₦1m+)
- Interest formula: Principal x Rate x Days / 365
- ₦100,000 x 11% x 90 / 365 = ₦2,712 gross
- Withholding Tax 10% = ₦271.2
- Net you receive = ₦2,440.8
- Lock: 90 days, if you break before, you lose interest.

B. MUTUAL FUNDS (Money Market Fund):
- Rate in September 2026: Stanbic IBTC Money Market 15.2%, Cowrywise Money Market 15%, PiggyVest Flex Dollar
- Interest: Compounding daily, not simple
- ₦100,000 x 15% x 90 / 365 = ₦3,698 (approximate, daily compounding adds small extra)
- No 10% WHT deducted upfront, fund pays after
- Liquidity: Withdraw within 24-48 hours, no penalty
- Risk: Not insured by NDIC like Fixed Deposit, but invested in Treasury Bills and Commercial Papers

My Result:
Mutual Funds paid ₦1,257 more than Fixed Deposit for the same ₦100k for 90 days.
When to choose which?
- Choose Fixed Deposit if you want NDIC insurance up to ₦500k and you will not touch money.
- Choose Mutual Funds if you want higher return and flexibility to withdraw for emergencies.

I am not selling anything. Just sharing what I learned saving ₦10k monthly with ₦334 daily from car wash.

What do you use? Fixed or Mutual Funds?

Thank you.

Sports › Re: Guinuea Bissau Vs Nigeria: 2027 AFCON Qualifier (3 - 0) On 29th September 2026 by AngelSlay: 12:54pm On Sep 26
My Assessment

1. We need to start games with more intensity.

Nigeria had plenty of possession, but Madagascar still scored first from a set-piece situation in the 16th minute. The Eagles cannot afford to give Guinea-Bissau that kind of early encouragement, particularly away from home.

2. The midfield needs to control the game earlier.

Nigeria had 55% possession and 88% passing accuracy, but the first half still felt too slow and predictable at times. The team needs quicker circulation and more movement between midfield and attack rather than relying on individual moments.

3. We have to be much more clinical.

This is probably my biggest concern.

Nigeria had 22 shots but only 4 were on target. We also had 4 big chances and scored only one of them, while hitting the woodwork once. Against a stronger or more disciplined opponent, those missed opportunities can come back to punish us.

4. Defending set pieces has to improve.

Madagascar's goal came from a well-worked set-piece routine, with Ehsan Kari heading home. Guinea-Bissau will certainly look at that. Nigeria cannot switch off when defending corners and short free-kick routines.

5. We need better attacking combinations.

There were moments when Nigeria dominated territory without creating enough clear openings. The statistics tell the story: 34 touches in Madagascar's box, but only four shots on target. The final pass and decision-making around the box have to improve.

6. The positive: the bench is becoming important.

Moses Usor's introduction changed the game. He carried the ball from deep, beat defenders and scored the winner. I also liked the composure shown by Ilenikhena on his debut. That gives Chelle useful options, especially with Victor Osimhen unavailable.

🇬🇼 Against Guinea-Bissau

This is where yesterday's performance becomes particularly important.

Guinea-Bissau also won their opening game 2–0 against Tanzania, so they go into Tuesday's match with three points and confidence.

For me, the formula should be: Better start + stronger set-piece defending + quicker midfield circulation + more clinical finishing.

Nigeria cannot afford to spend 45 minutes "trying to enter the game." Away in Bissau, we need to be switched on from minute one.

The Uyo win was a good start, but the performance still left enough questions for Chelle to answer before Guinea-Bissau.

Lanrelagboi:
THE KIDS ON THE STREETS, WHATS YOUR PLAN ??

By Deputy Governor of Lagos State and Lagos APC Governorship Candidate for 2027 Elections, Dr Kadiri Obafemi Hamzat @drobafemihamzat

The Lagos State Deputy Governor and Lagos APC Governorship Candidate, Dr Obafemi Hamzat says we need to properly distinguish and categorize those who require social support, those facing drugs issues, those who ran away from home to seek a safe space in Lagos and those who just want to commit crimes.

Dr Hamzat proposed the creation of a dedicated child welfare agency that will be independent from the Ministry of Youth and Social Development. The agency’s mandate would include identifying children who need protection, separating different case types, and coordinating rehabilitation services.

He also recommended the creation and
expansion of shelters specifically for children under 18, he stated clearly that the State already has shelters that are fully being used to cater for domestic violence victims, disaster victims and others.

Dr Hamzat says children who need help should be rehoused, receive cleaning up/rehabilitation, and be returned to school or enrolled in skills training especially for kids under 18, for the ones with drug or mental health issues, targeted treatment programs would be provided for them.

Finally, He says there will be series of engagement with the general public on the need that the society as a whole must collaborate with the Government to address root causes of these issues.

Lagosians have heard plenty of beautiful government promises before. The real question is not “What will you do?” but “Why should Lagosians believe this will actually be different from what has happened before?”

You want to create another dedicated child welfare agency. Fine. But before creating another agency, what has happened to the institutions and programmes already responsible for vulnerable children? Are they adequately funded, properly staffed, independently monitored and actually producing measurable results?

You want to rehabilitate children and return them to school. Again, excellent idea — but return them to which kind of school?

Ask an average public-school teacher in Lagos about the current state of many government schools. Yes, you can renovate buildings and repaint classrooms for photographs, but education is more than a fresh coat of paint.

Where are the functional laboratories?
Where are the computers?
Where are the teaching aids?
Where are the projectors and other digital-learning equipment?
Where is the equipment that makes a modern school actually function?

You cannot launch a programme called “Ready to Learn” and then expect children to be ready for the future when some of the basic tools required for modern learning are missing.

And then there is rehabilitation.

Lagos already has rehabilitation structures and social intervention programmes. Yet the condition and effectiveness of some of these facilities have continued to raise questions among residents. Before announcing more shelters and rehabilitation centres, show Lagosians what is happening in the existing ones.

How many children have been successfully rehabilitated?
How many have been reunited with their families?
How many returned to school?
How many acquired sustainable skills?
How many relapsed and ended up back on the streets?

Give us the numbers. Give us the outcomes. Give us independent monitoring.

And honestly, when a politician seeking to govern the state in 2027 makes these promises on a television platform that is widely perceived as being close to the government of the day, Lagosians are naturally going to ask whether they are hearing a serious policy commitment or another campaign-season presentation.

The issue of children living on Lagos streets is too serious to become another political talking point.

If the government genuinely wants to solve it, let the conversation go beyond “we will create, we will build, we will rehabilitate and we will return them to school.”

Tell us how much it will cost, where the money will come from, what has failed previously, what will be done differently, who will be accountable and how Lagosians will measure success.

Because Lagos does not lack programmes on paper.

What Lagos needs is implementation that people can actually see, institutions that work, schools that function, rehabilitation centres that rehabilitate, and accountability when government promises are not delivered.

The children on the streets deserve more than another campaign speech. They deserve a system that actually works.
Nairaland General › The Internet Has Done More Bad Than Good To This Generation… And I Will Explain by AngelSlay(op): 8:43am On Sep 23
THE INTERNET HAS DONE MORE BAD THAN GOOD TO THIS GENERATION… AND I WILL EXPLAIN MYSELF 😂🤦‍♀️

Before you people come for me, I know the internet has plenty advantages. 😂

Because without the internet:

📚 How would we learn?

💼 How would some of us find jobs and remote opportunities?

💰 How would small businesses reach customers without renting a shop in every street?

🌍 How would we know what is happening around the world?

❤️ How would some of you meet your husbands and wives? 😂

Some people literally met their soulmate online. Others met their problem online. 😂😂

The internet has made communication easier, education more accessible, businesses bigger, and opportunities available to people who may never have had access to them physically.

BUT…

Omo, the disadvantages too are not smiling. 😭😂

Everybody is now an expert.

You open Instagram — relationship expert.

TikTok — medical doctor.

Twitter/X — economist, lawyer, political analyst and military strategist.

WhatsApp group — everybody suddenly has a PhD in marriage. 😂

One person posts, “My husband bought me flowers today.”

Before you refresh the page, another person has written:

“Ladies, if your man has never bought you flowers, leave that marriage.” 😭😭

Someone buys a house at 27 and posts it online.

You are 29, renting a self-contained room and suddenly you're asking yourself:

“What exactly am I doing with my life?” 😂

Meanwhile, the person you are comparing yourself with may have collected the house on loan, borrowed the car for the photoshoot and rented the designer clothes.

But you don't know that.

You just see “God did it.” 😭

The internet has also turned us into professional spectators.

You can spend 6 hours scrolling and at the end of the day ask yourself:

“What exactly did I achieve today?”

Nothing.

But you know the full story of three strangers' relationships, watched 17 skits, followed two people's breakup, learnt how to make shawarma, saw a man proposing in Dubai and somehow ended up watching a woman clean her bathroom in Canada. 😂😂😂

And the biggest problem?

NOISE.

Everybody has an opinion.

Everybody wants to be heard.

Everybody wants to go viral.

Everybody wants validation.

Everybody is comparing.

Everybody is angry.

Everybody is arguing.

And everybody somehow has the confidence to advise you on a life they have never lived. 😂

The internet has given us access to information, but sometimes it has also taken away our ability to sit quietly and think.

You can't even eat peacefully again.

You are eating rice and stew, meanwhile your phone is showing somebody eating steak in Dubai.

Suddenly your rice tastes like financial failure. 😭😂

But let's be honest:

The internet itself isn't the enemy.

It is a tool.

It can make you smarter, richer, more connected and more informed.

It can also make you distracted, insecure, addicted, envious and permanently confused.

The problem is that many of us don't know when to log off.

Sometimes you need to put the phone down.

Read a book.

Talk to your family.

Go outside.

Work on yourself.

Build something.

And most importantly, stop using somebody else's Instagram highlight reel to measure your own life.

Because the internet will show you everybody's “God when?”

It will rarely show you their “God help me.” 😂😂

Use the internet.

Don't let the internet use you. 🤦‍♀️😂
