May somebody is benefiting from Mug's reign in Zimbabwe. You never can tell.

Or is it that they are cooking up some stories to frame him or what? Remember the
Weapon of Mass Destruction theory?

I learnt all these 6 months of Current Acct stuff is crap. I learnt it is possible to open it
at anytime you wish provided you've got a current account. I was told this by someone
that opened his with, whoelse but GTB!

GTB seem to be the best bank in town to me.

Hello all,

I just finished reading a GREAT book, Radical Careering by Sally Hogshead. You need to
check this book OUT!

Well, I have decided to share some of the wonderful lessons I learnt in the book
with my fellow Nairalanders. This will be an ongoing thread and you will need to be reading
it regularly. I will also be sharing some career boosting tips I glimpse elsewhere.

1) OWN YOUR CAREER OR IT WILL OWN YOU

Career ownership begins when you start generating capital within yourself. It creates
TRUE power: the power to CHOOSE your goals, your path, who to be, who not to be.

Career ownership allows you to choose your life.

My own point: It is your attitude to your career that matters most.

2) YOUR JOB IS NOT YOUR CAREER!

These two words used to mean the same thing. But no more. Today your job is where
you work: duties, coworkers, office space et al. A job is a means to an end. A vehicle
to get you where you want to go.

A career on the other hand, is a long-term journey. You will probably have many jobs
and probably many professions, all bundled into your single career. Your career
represents your holistic professional path. It is the sum total of every idea and action
and vision that uniquely comes from you.

Whatever you want (more money, more satisfaction, more time off), keep in mind that
your job isn't an end in itself. Your job is a tool. No more no less.

You can be fired from your job, but you'll never be fired from you career.

3) ULTIMATELY YOU WILL HAVE THE CAREER YOU EARN!

No one will make it happen but you. Period!


WISDOM TIP

We each have the potential to do something beyond our wildest imagination, as long
as we're prepared to make it happen at any given moment of our lives.


Enjoy these words for now, more to come.

@all,

It is possible there is no rich dad, but there is a Poor Dad. RK might have come up with
those words to portray a message in a way people will be able to understand. The
book made so much meaning to me than any.

I am not sure why we are even debating so much on this anyway. The Reed's comments
were made in 2003 or so and I even think i heard the man has apologised to RK a long
time ago. So no need overflogging this issue jare. Maybe we all have to follow RK's
advice:

[size=16pt][center]MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS![/center][/size]

@iice, sharp babe.

What if it appears at the beginning that you cannot get anything? What will you do.

I think working for rich men, brings a lot of open doors. What with the opportunity of
interacting with their network of friends and associates? A door can open from there
you know

Heard the Lijadu sisters are in the US as well.

Daniel Wilson now heads his pop's bakery, Wilson's. The Lagos branch is at Sabo, Yaba.

Victor Essiet (Mandator) is back in naija o

The heat don come up o. Just few days to the crunchy tie.

As dem talk am, Die don cast, who go stand United Way? I just can't wait for
Sunday to come o. My body don dey shake sef.

@Jackal, are we still hoping on Tevez?

It is definitely going to be a crunchy tie come Sunday. What i know is that

[size=14pt]UNITED RULES![/size]

Kazey,

na wa for you o. Why the tough talk now. You should understand the type of people you are dealing with.
Maybe you should have helped closed this thread by replying to Kamali's email. Trying to disprove his claims
here is helping to aggravate the issue.

@syskay,

God bless you jare. Wisdom is profitable in all things.

Aiphie:
What kind of yeye opportunities?

Have you heard of riding on the back of someone to fame/success? That is the opportunity I am talking about Ma
and to the best of my knowledge, it is not YEYE!

@ others,

Sorry, I am just asking a general question, not a vacancy. With your mindset who knows, the opportunity
may come your way.

Gomez:
, but this will not challenge me enough for the kind of computing i really want to do looking at one year before masters - maybe i will for exposure and experience hit the hot IT areas of this country but for now still exploring the town i have spent one year who knows .

Gomez, I'm at a loss o. Can you please explain what you mean here, especially the bolded part

When I read the book about 5 years ago, I was doubting if there is any Rich dad anywhere. But
who cares whether the Rich dad is a figment of Bob's imagination or not? I learnt a lot of life lessons
in that book that helped me chart a course for my life.

As advised by Bob, I am minding my business and my business is taking care of me now. I no longer
belong to the members of the rat race. I don't have to wake up 5am to run after a boss that doesn't
care about me and come back late at night. I run my own show. All thanks to the golden advice by RTK

Please MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS!

zenom:
Money,brings fulfillment , no too much story there.

Are you sure sis?

Well ask Ade Bendel, Ezego, Fred Ajudua and the governors EFCC are running after,
they will tell you it is not all about money afterall.

Fulfillment first and money comes after.

@somze,

It is well oooo. When the season begin next week, it will be to your tent again.

Ride on people. I;m gbaduin all of una

Lord have mercy.

Lord please let Sunday cometh quickly so that we can have better things to talk about o

at last egoldman, you've got somebody to support your racism stance. We can now
rest.

Maybe your campaign should be targeted at your country people so that they know
how to launder the image of the country POSITIVELY. The treatment of Osuofia didn't
just start the day he was humiliated or racial attacked, as it pleases you my Lord

When we know how to act right, others will know how to treat us right.

Chillibabe, thank you very much, at least egoldman will be so glad to have a companion.
We don't need to be from a particular country to know what the truth is. Do we?

chillbabe:
@ Egoldman

It is plain an simple racism because everybody here in Holland knows that 419 guys don't go to Osoufia"s show.And believe me the dutch police know that also they just take this for an excuse to deport people.

How many shows has he done in Holland for your fact to be substantiated Ma? Who
are evn the evrybody sef?

Well, I don't have anything against Osuofia, he is somebody I love so much, but that
him chop your dollar song, get as e be o.

@tunde,

I am not sure Afam has gone over the board with what he posted. I see it as his own
contribution to the post you started. I am sure he is just trying to help.

Do you have something going on between the two of you or what?

Tunde,

I am so sorry for getting back here so late. Got a lot on my hands for now.

I am happy so much has being said already and the advises are AWESOME!
Just like someone said, ACTION is what matters. We all can talk and talk
over here, what you do is what matters most.

@uzo, do you now own articlejoint or what? You better correct what is on the
Contact Page. getting this:

Add your contact details to "User Side Templates->contacts.tpl"

Maybe you and denex should face the Nigerians spoiling our image home and abroad.
I don't know why you are all making noise when no link has been provided to
support whether O said what has been ascribed to her.

Keep making noise you hear.

A t least am happy in nigeria we don't have high percentage of children that got involve in drug at early age.I was in East london sumtimes back what i saw there kept me thinkin for days. see young children ,11yrs old or thereabout already nvolve in drugs alot of children like that.join gangs at a very young age. a lot of youth that don't even know what they want in life.carrying guns up and down

Which part of Nigeria do you stay? I am sure not in Lagos, because if you do, you will
witness a lot of this going on in places like AJ City, Ojuelegba, Yaba, Ebute Metta, and
several other parts of Lagos.

Because of the hardship that has being caused a lot of people, you see even 8 year olds
being conductors in buses all around. Have you heard of the word "Osanle" before.
They seem to be everywhere now.

Let us fix our own side of the story and others will learn to respect us

Maybe we go find some Romans to tell us o. I never go there before ooo

egoldman,

I am still wondering what you want to achieve o. If you want to campaign against
"racism" against Nigerians, this may not be the right place to do that. Why don't
you go to the Dutch land and start your campaign there?

Raining insults on those who disagree with you won't solve your problem Sir.

When you are in Rome, you are supposed to behave like Romans, so if Osuofia behaved
as if he is in Nigeria in another man's land, what do you think he should get? He deserved
to be told he is worth nothing over there.

So please, stop extending this thread for nothing sake. We all know you have racism at
the back of your mind. We don get wetin you dey talk. So abeg make we yarn something
better jare. At least Osuofia said he has put this behind him.

@Seun,

Though this thread is so old, but thanks for starting it. It has given me a new insight
about the kind of lives our people are living.

Tioluni, you have a choice Ma'am. You should ask yourself what you really want. Which
one is more valuable to you? Whn you know your values, making decisions will be VERY
easy for you.

heard Alams will spend only two weeks in jail

Na wa for Nigeria o

@mamajama,

How will our boycotting O's show bring down her rating?    

What has your people done for this country to make us proud that
even the foreigners will have no choice than to praise them?    

I am amazed by the way we take issues here. Is it not always in the news
all our corrupt officials have been doing? Why should Oprah come and invest
here or even help us when our government keep stealing what belong to the
people.

If the money had been made to circulate, will there be so much corruption around?

The replies to this issue have been so embarrasing.

Shio  

If Oprah had read all these posts maybe she would have concluded that Nigerians
are idiots and stupid set of people!

Imagine, no link was provided to substantiate this claim and we are all cursing
and raining abuses unnecessarily.

Na wa for una o.

Seun once said it, why curse when she is saying the truth? God forgive all of una

egoldman,

In the first place, why did you start this thread? To have evrybody tow your line and
start screaming racism?

So no one has the right to disagree with you or what? Do you think Osuofia has any
good rep abroad? I was so ashamed to read comments about his song in a New York
paper last year. he has a bad rep and his appearance anywhere in a whiteman country
will attract some attentions. Get that straight man.

You can scream racism to heavens and your noise won't move any ant.

Let us get our acts right and people will be able to treat us right.

U just don't understand. When you get fulfilled in whatever you are doing, money rolls in and you get
double portion: Fulfillment + Money

Money doesn't bring fulfillment but fulfillment can bring money. I am saying this because I no so and I
have experienced it. We just get our priorities wrong and that is why our Politicians keep stealing
money. if money brings fulfillment, what makes one that has stolen a billion keep stealing?

I am sure most people will take offers to wash dead body or sweep snow in foreign countries just to
make money.

I am sorry to say Sirs/Mas, fulfillment comes before any other thing in life.

If you are not fulfilled, be the RICHEST man in the whole Universe, you won't enjoy
your money.You can say Bill Gates is fulfilled not because of his money because he
found fulfillment early in life. He wasn't a rich man when he started Microsoft you know.

Money doesn't buy fulfillment but I am sure we are all entitled to our own opinion.

The question is even whether there are Venture Capitalists here
And my guy, what do you want to do that needs the support of capitalists?

I used to think Internet ventures are low-capital businesses that anyone can start?

Let us know what exactly you want, you never can tell, help can come from this
GREAT place.

Na who bring this kind site up?

Na wa o. is this the result of joblessness or what?

It is now evident why most people don't get employed

Upon all that has been written, you are still asking this lame questions.
Na wa for una o

@akin,

this is a decison you have to make all by yourself. This is your point of decision. Take a look at my signature

What is wrong with working with a friend? If you decide to work for him with an
open mind, then there is nothing to be afraid of. If if things get sour later, you can
always opt out my man. He will not use a rope to tie you down.

Hey guys, GREAT response all

Most people run after money and neglect their purpose in life at the
tail end of their lives, they discover that they have not lived at all.
It is NEVER about the money you know, it is about getting fulfilled in life
that is my own idea of living.

To make it more interesting, while doing what you see as your purpose, you
still end up making MORE money that thinks money is the be all of life. The
double portion is that you get more fulfilled than them.

I have always adviced people to live and not just exist but unfortunately most
people are just existing and not living at all. Fear of the future has crippled them
from taking the right decision. One thing I learnt early in life is that at the point of
making a decision, there is always a change of destiny.

@poster, follow your heart and LIVE.

I wish I could just lay my hands on My precious book, Chicken Soup. I will post some
interesting stories later.
