The guy behind this church handle always kills me

This might be totally inconsequential, i kind of experienced a female hegemony today. I woke up today, wasnt feeling the gym today because i like going early and also i had to drop my wife to work. I did my pushups, showered and took my protein. I checked my phone, one message from my fellow investor, we chatted about business and all. Then i checked my Nigerian line, i saw 3 missed calls and 2 messages.

From who? my ex. What does she want? i replied her texts and she called, she lamented how Nigeria was bad and appalling and things are hard, told her US is struggling too and me sef i am broke, i invested all my savings. Then she dropped it! Have you gone to Miami? I replied no, why?

She then reminded me while we were dating how i was gonna take her to Miami for honeymoon and how we were gonna have fun. I told her, Man proposes and God disposes, i guess God will was done. Told her i had things to do and then dropped the call.

Then i started thinking, the girl knows i am in the US now and is trying to manipulate my dead and gone feelings and use the old memories with her to resurrect them.

I laughed and told myself, female hegemony at its peak, trying to find a soothing abode for herself, just like Jesus said, it is finished, i deleted the chats and blocked the number and went about my day.

Sorry for the epistle guys.

Inflation rate would continue rise that's for sure. That would trigger more sell-off. But eventually the Fed would have to step in (at 2% according to Powell) and stocks would rally again.

Did you notice the huge sell off today in Dow, s&p and nasdaq in the final minute of today’s trading?

Just watching the series of Hugh Hefner, the founder of the playboy magazine/mansion. You are a fool if you carry woman for head. In fact in a village full of fools, you will still be a fool!

Man literally lived that bachelor life to the fullest! You guys should look into him. A magnificent example of being a redpiller .

This so true those that have ears let them hear

Add recession to the list.

@Drenimarcus Data analytics is a very very good to get into IT. It involves showing trends and making correlations. I think (for me) its abetter path to follow if it somethin you are interested in. You can take some certification to land junior data analytics roles e.g Microsoft certified data analytics DA-100 exam. (it has a learning path that teaches you all that expected in the exams. google also has a new data analytics certification out which is meant to be their alternative to a four year degree. You can also look it up too.

Sir, please can i PM you? i have some questions. Thank you.

If you really love networking I think you should go for it. Personally I think it is stable with less stress. You will begin to enjoy it once you have a lot of experience. Although, it is quite difficult to break into with less experience but with time you will definitely like it.

Software is cool but if you are not in any of the FAANG you are paid as much as anyone else and God save you if covid-20 comes out you are likely to loose your job.

I started straight out of masters in 2018 with 19$/hr with no experience in networking. My first job was as desktop analyst which I did for three months and wrote my CCNA then got a job for 60k.. as an entry level network engr. I worked there for a year then got another one for 100k but the stress level was just too much and it was customer facing so I quit after six months after getting my CCNP then got my current job for 95k with 10% yearly bonus. I really don't do much even though it is huge data center and telecom company.. it will take a serious natural disaster for any of the data center to go offline so for now less work.

Thanks to Covid-19 I now work completely from home. As not to get bored I got a second entry level job with a different company which I only do at night.. no stress and pay ain't bad(about 70k working as a non-exempt employee with excellent benefits)....


Here is the issue with software.. even though they make more money they also undergo more stress and except you work for a software focus company or FAANG you are likely to loose your job... half of the software and business analyst in my telecom company lost their job during the height of covid-19 because finance was cut.

I suggest you continue with networking but make sure you always get at least one certification a year.... and if possible buy a very good laptop install EVE-NG or GNS3 then begin to lab.. there are a lot software image and tutorial out there.. then learn python and make sure you learn atleast one cloud.. for me I suggest AWS. Even though is not easy trust me you will eventually enjoy it.. and if you are a citizen ... after few years in networking move to security (target jobs with security clearance) and the world will be yours.

Sir, please can i PM you? i have some questions. Thank you.

The biggest issue still remains rising inflation rates. Not the mistake of one family office that overleveraged on its debts. Morgan stanley, Goldman and Deutshe Bank did not make losses on the margin calls

Inflation? The inflation now is mild compare to the incoming one. Sir, I will remind you in coming weeks like I said. Some bubble ‘bout burst WS.

I said it weeks ago that i will come for a reminder. Fed Repo is at its record of $756Billion and rising. Inflation at 5% and rising. DarkPools shenanigans, Payment For Order Flow B.S.

Do your DDs before investing. Oakpearl, i hope all is well? Been a while.

Nothing big is happening. Its an isolated event which normally occures. The difference this time is the magnitude of funds involved ($20bn)

$30BN. I will remind you in coming weeks sir.

Not at all the market was down because a notorious guy or cabal (Archegos Capital Management) decided to toy with the market. Read full details of what happened on Friday from financial Times, yahoo finance, aljazeera etc. Similar thing is happening in Japan today.

Credit Suisse liquidated Today, Morgan Stanley liquidated on Friday. Expect more tanking in coming weeks.

Something big is about to happen in the US stock market.

Lmao! That Isaiah verse is coming to pass surely

So succinctly said. Thank you so much sir. Mucho gracias.

Rinoxy:
Noted man. tnx.

You remember the FCMB saga? the guy is dead and the girl involved and the md are living and going on about their lives. Let that be your motivation.

If you feel your wife is being disrespectful to you in your marriage. Few tips.

Ignore her while you work on your self, go on that self discovery mode (read more about becoming a high value man, hit the gym etc).

Start looking into investing and creating wealth for yourself and your coming generations.

The earlier men know that AWALT. The better for us.

Bossman:
High pay but small work Experience tells me that most high paying jobs are high stress as well. As a veteran software guy I can attest to that. No doubt, software dev/programming has been very good to me though. Bottom line is...whatever field you end up in, make sure you learn it very well and become very good at it. Hard work will always pay off. And most of us Nigerians are a very hard working and resilient bunch!

Sir, are you talking about networking or data analytics?

Software is hard without a tutor. Self learning is hard o. The little python I am teaching myself, I have headaches from it

Chiggslover, how you doing bro? Please I have some questions. I recently just started schooling to get into IT.

I was looking at networking but few guys told me to go into data analytics. I remember you talking about it. Can you shed more insight on this?

Thank you.

TEODIN:
WGU is an online university that runs a capability mode of education and it is non-profit and well accredited established by former American Governors... I saw when you were saying something about networking that’s why I asked.. in networking/Cybersecurity certifications are more important than degrees.. WGU combines both certifications and degree and they pay for the necessary certifications for you and their fees are very cheap..if you can transfer some courses from your cc, plus general education requirements from previous degree., you can have a bsc in one year with all the necessary certifications with less than 7k dollars.. with that combination, you be hotcake

Thank you for this. God blessings!

TEODIN:
Have you read about Western Governors University(Wgu)?

Sir, I know you mean well but I don’t live in Texas or Utah. I live in Minnesota. Thank you sir for your concern, I do appreciate.

MackyNaija:
Dreni, what concentration/career field are you looking at?

Networking. If it is possible, can I pm you?

TEODIN:
If you have a degree in Nigeria. Why are you going through the stress of cc again.. look into Omscs or UT Austin MSCSO.. you will get a masters degree with 10k

I live here sir, My funds can only allow CC.

Appreciate the concern.

MackyNaija:
Due to bias in different forms, your resume should look like that of someone that was born in Murica.

This is with respect to locations/addresses majorly. Eg Lagos, abia, Nigeria etc except your school na Univ of Nigeria


Hope you did some internships before graduation...

I sure will apply for internships. Thank you!!

MackyNaija:
That reminds me..

Internship and job hunters can and should remove Nigeria from all parts of their Resumes.

This is one place where I could avoid showing I am foreen.
Past schools, jobs and locations were cleared of major signs of being out of the country.

Macky can you please elucidate more on this? I will soon be rounding my CS degree in a CC. Thank you.

So the hotel has a mini bar. Whatever you take will be automatically charged to your room and you can view your spending from the TV.

Trying to upload pictures but the MB is quite too big

Do giveaway for us sir, mouth is dry o

Depends on your definition of achievement. If you can sleep soundly without power interruption, stable government policies, awesome healthcare, stable learning environment for kids and you can grow at your own pace? I would call that an achievement.

Sons please. The modern day men have lost some valor and dignity. No girls.

The west can be extremely boring. Now, with COVID-19, everyone has retired to their shell. I am an ambivert, I try to mingle with my Nigerian pals, go on my Play Station etc. Sometimes I even fly out of my state to go chill with other peeps.

Weird when people complain about loneliness when there are apps to meet people. Meetup app is an example. Problem with people is, they want to mingle with the Caucasians, Caucasians rarely open their circle to strangers.

This is what is killing the west tho, no sense of community. Hopefully, with the vaccines, things will get better.
