Lol , you see yourselves?

So, you all are willing to give up certainty/a bird in hand (like the 3M Naija job) for uncertainty so long as, it is ogbodo-onyibo and someone else is picking up the tab for relocation, abi?

What happened to the usual rhetoric of Naija women change once they land abroad, don't make that mistake of relocating with a Naija woman, she will show you shege once she reaches there.

What happens to the usual fear men nurse about starting over in their latter years or doing menial jobs for survival, knowing they'll be giving up good jobs here like your bosses did?

By the way, if I may ask how are they faring since quitting to relocate? I know one guy who used to be with Forte Oil, earning really well. He relocated with his family but now is back looking for work, he relocated them on his own dime not company money.

This grass is not always greener on the other side, even Tjra who is saying if that was the case (company paid relocation to abroad) he would go, do menial jobs while seeking a better job, may find out sooner or later in such a scenario that he was better off with his 600k job and relocating to Abuja instead.

I'm still curious about your bosses who left. How's that working out for them? I hope they are not speaking this same narrative you spoke in your first post or experiencing the pains of Naija women abroad


O'boy, you have succeeded in sending shivers down my spine.
I am about moving my family overseas.
My home rakes about #800k monthly( both salaries and businesses).
Wify is a banker and earns about #300k monthly.
Recently, she got a lecturing job at a federal university,but the salary is half her present salary. At the same time, she got an offer from
another bank with a pay of #500k.
Now, she doesn't know which to pick.
I presented her with the idea of relocating overseas and have commence preparations.
The question that got out of her mouth was " hope we won't regret relocating"?
I have not replied her up to now.
That was why your write up git me thinking so hard.

Its one of those things my brother but we the children from those homes those days in Ajegunle enjoy it..infact growing up was fun and catering for us was everyone's business in the compound as well as disciplinary measures. We grow up to better and with healthy competition among ourselves believing our days and conditions will be better than our parents living in that one room apartments.
Today, many self made gents and ladies or
even married couples can trace there line to these roots....after former president GEJ told us he used to go to school with torn shorts and bare foot, that may mean he stay in same room conditions in Bayelsa but today the rest is history!

Artificial Intelligence


The opportunities are endless when you master it.

Few years from now it will be in vogue in Nigerian (imagine being contracted by multiple companies to handle their AI operation).

You can work remotely for multinationals or international firms or better still get employed by them and leave Naija if you don't like it here.

What makes you think is not easy? Some dropshippers make money than those that have physical shops, all you need is to be very active on social media.

On of my biggest regrets today is the stand I took on sales and marketing jobs just before I graduated from university. They were a never for me, having grown and owning my own businesses I now see them as even more important than tech skill. What's the use of having a good product if you can't effectively market and sell it? Some people will say hire a sales n marketing person, but as the head of a business you have to be able to understand, control and set a vision for your business. Go check most successful CEOs and head of business one of their top skills are sales and marketing. Yes there is a lot of abuse in the sector but we need to learn to eat the hay and leave the sticks, take the skills and leave the malpractices.

Sales and marketing are critical skills to any career cos we all are selling something be it skills, goods or services.

This is my baby sister(cousin) she wasn't struggling with them. Gather facts right because she was shot on the neck not heart. She knew one of them so they killed to silence her but I know my God � will not keep silent on her behalf. May God give my family the fortitude to bear this loss

No one is thinking of the other guy that lost his job.
After losing your job, your wife tells you that probably your only child is not yours, that will be a terrible one ohhhh.
I don't have advice for this but consider the guy that lost his job, also both of u cannot hide it for too long. Uhh

Friends and famz..

I was recently offered a full-tme job in Lagos for a copywriting role with a good pay.

Sometimes back, I was called for a briefing by the HR team, they asked tons of questions which I was able to crush.

That's how I got the offer.

I felt it's time to build a professional network.

This is what skills gives you.

In early 2018

I was once in a jobless and hopeless situation with no hope in sight until skill paved the way.

Never give up.

You leverage on digital skill and it gives you the edge.

I can teach u o. But u go pay jareee. I av been there for a year now. I am still improving but at least I know how that niche works. I don teach very few people too who are still grateful to me till date. Becus naija fit frustrate person o. I was asking a friend few days ago what I would av done without freelancing.

The joy of working at ur own pace and meeting ur needs is awesome. My main target is to scale up now and begin to triple what I earn currently. My last month earning was 164k. This month has been bad though. Just 50k plus this month. But I'm still hopeful to reach at least 100k or 90k this month. My brother naija no send anybody o. Person go just work jareee.

The only Nigerian woman, who is hundred percent sure of her husband's location, at every given second...is a widow.

The worst thing about when men cheat is, they can't just fukc around in peace, tell the girl how men are polygamous in nature. They prefer to tell lies and denigrate their wives.

I didn't learn work before school but after school. If I will advice, if anyone got money, he should learn crane operator, training on oil and gas(BOSIET,HUET,EDH,MEA,HLO,SSO,RIVER MASTER, QUARTER MASTER, BANKSMAN... it costs huge money to get all this but you will get a nice job after it) , POP and screeding,

POP and screeding is the cheapest and within one year, you've learnt it and can start work.

The oil and gas courses can take you a month or two to get the certs them....if you must do it, make sure you get the best certs up-to Bosiet which may cost you up-to 500k to acquire but at the long run, one rig work will wipe away the tears in your family. it's also advisable to go learn it in South Africa if you can afford it or London. Pipeline welding is good too but should be learnt outside the country like Malaysia or Singapore.

If you don't have money, learn normal tiles and interlocking laying, conduit wiring, tailoring at a very good tailoring shop like Aba, Hair making etc

Thanks sunnymoore and Trygo for your insightful comments, I knew recently that my car is not working well,my car used to work cooly but now the sound is high. The problem started when my fan stopped working one day, it only comes on when I put on AC, if I off the AC the fan will go off. When I took it to the auto electrician, he worked on it and the fan starts working with or without AC. But it affected the car's RMP in the process so he had to adjust it from somewhere. If I put off the AC the RPM will go below 1 but if I put it on it will get to 1.
I spend so much money on fuel now, please guys what can be done to reverse the situation?

Sunymoore:

No. You're already on your way to kill your car.
I guess the same Kazeem might have removed the thermostat.. Now your car will run rich most of the time, because the operating temperature will never be achieved..
The thermostat works by blocking water/coolant until the engine reaches optimal temperature. Now in the absence of it, the engine will be flooded with coolant, and the ever spinning fan will make sure your engine stays cold.. Your car ECU will instruct the injector to mix more fuel to air ratio 'Rich'.. And the final result is increase in feul consumption, increase in emissions and more wear and tear..
