I am a Geologist currently working in the Oil and Gas sector.

The period of job search is always the most challenging and trying time for young people particularly young men.

I give Glory to God for where I am today. But each time i look back and remember all my sufferings and challenges it just seems like a dream.

Infact i almost lost relevance even in my father's house bc i had no job so i had no say.
Even when i got a job bt bc the pay was little, i still felt miserable.

But something kept me going: My high self esteem and self worth

I graduated with a 2:1 in Geology abt 12yrs ago.
I prepared my CV immediately i got my statement of result before going for NYSC. I had d hope of securing a job before finishing NYSC.
I started practising GMAT and GRE immidiately i finished project defence while awaiting NYSC.

I used the whole of NYSC period to prepare for my job search. I believed i was so good and was bubbling with high hopes and expectations Cos i was scoring very high in the practise test questions.Infact i applied for jobs during NYSC and wrote NNPC and Shell tests bt was nt succesful (my first encounter with reality on ground).

I came out of NYSC without securing any jobs unlike what i expected. I started sending cv to different companies as they advertised. I wrote Oceanic bank, Diamond bank, UBA and was nt succesful though i got to d interview stage in 2 of them.

My first ever job came as a miracle at Accessbank. I was lying down thinking abt my life when my university class mate called me to come to Accessbank Toyin street Ikeja that they are looking for adhoc staff. I arrived their in no time. I got the offer and also contacted some of my other comrades in the struggle hu also got it.

It was a 1month job.The news of my bank job spread among my extended family and church members like wild fire. Though i didnt tell them it was a 1month contract job.We were paid off at month end and i was back home and hidding from people so they wont ask y i didnt go to work.

Next day i went to visit my girl friend (my wife today). I was still in her place when i received a phone call inviting me for an aptitude test and interview at an Oil Servicng company i sent my application to abt 2 months earlier. They actually requested for minimum of 2yrs experience bt i still applied without experience. I got the job! It was my first break through.

Employed as a trainee in 2005 with a gross salary of 33K was nt so bad to start with. Banks were paying GTs 40-70K then.

I knew my worth. I knew i was worth more than that. I now limited my application to major Oil and Gas companies. I wrote Elf test, didnt scale through the test stage. I wrote Shell and got to the interview stage. I wrote NNPC and got the job. Shell put me on stand-by but no message from them till date not even a regret mail.

I still work with the NNPC till date and not regretting it.

So job seekers know ur worth, prepare well and keep pressing.

Approaching some ladies can be likened to walking into a lion's den because of the maltreatment guys receive from them.

The way some Nigerian ladies treat their toasters is worse to beating a hardened criminal and as a result, guys have pad lock their feelings for them or conclude to date ladies from western culture.

Therefore, let's take a look on ways Nigerian ladies maltreat their toasters.

1. They stylishly use them to do house chores

During my NYSC program, there was a lady in my lodge who pretended as if she loved this guy. The guy who is in lust washed her undies, dirty kitchen utensils and atimes loose her braid hairs as if he was under a powerful spell. After using him like a depreciated tractor, she married the love of her life few months after the end of the program. This is a terrible act some Nigerian ladies abduct till date to treat their toasters harshly.

2. They turn them to ATM machine

This is a common practice ladies use to scorn toasters harshly. They turn toasters to "mega magas" by telling them to cater for their financial needs. After milking his pocket dry, they look for the next unlucky dude to feast on.

3. They ridicule him in public as if he is a pervert

I have lost counts on occasion in public where ladies slapped, bullied and bashed guys simply because he approached them for love. The fact that he is looking tattered or un serious doesn't mean he should be treated with disdain. I am sure sonofananimal1 has experienced such wicked act before.

4. They ask him to go on 2 months fasting

This act is very common in churches where sisters in the lord tell a brother who wants to woo them to embark on 2 months fasting in order to hear from God. Even Jesus Christ did not fast up to that period and I count such as a wicked act to treat toasters.

5. They ignore him as if he is a statue

I remembered approaching a beautiful lady in order to woo her. I was stylishly disgraced by her as she ignored me like a statue standing in front of her. Adding salt to injury after leaving her sight, I was in a state of discombobulation where I fell into the nearby canal.

6. They are cold when chatting or on a date with them

Some Nigerian ladies exhibit ridiculous characters that can make a sane man to become a lunatic over night. They replied chats with monosyllabic replies and keep quiet like cemetery ground when on a date with their toasters.

7. They display red signals to toasters by flaunting fake boyfriend picture or deceitful relationship status

Nigerian ladies have a funny way to treat guys harshly by updating their dp or pm with a cute dude who is not their boyfriend or state their relationship status as "married or engaged". Some who are "lord of the rings" flaunt their fake engagement rings to toasters.

8. They overdo "hard to get" character

Some Nigerian ladies are so confused that they place guys on the fence of their heart. They won't say "YES or NO" to him but when they need something important (either financial or moral help), they become lively but when everything is okay, they become moody.

yes,done the final stage at ISON.

YemaEnoch:
A friend of mine was told to go to airtel office that they're recruiting, on getting to airtel office today, she was told to go and submit her CV tO ISON which confirms that ISON is recruiting for airtel and not MTN. So its possible that Alex is recruiting for MTN.
But my question still remains when they'll be calling for training and other processes man gat to plan for lot of things. Any one who really know what's delaying and when they'll likely call should update us. Wish us all a fruitful hustle and struggle

Brymo is one of the artists in Nigeria that has differentiated himself with his kind of music. He has a coarse voice that might not necessary have to move through wide ranges on the octave but even at that, his voice stands out and his kind of music is definitely for the more matured minds. It is interesting to note that in a Nigerian music scene flooded with party music and noise making, some people still choose to stick to their kind of slow paced, philosophical master pieces that hold lyrical depth and beautiful acoustics rather than a combination of artificial combination of beats over fruity loops.

We decided to review Brymo's latest album titled "Merchants, Dealers and Slaves". Let me say that this Album is fantastic, but whether the Nigerian market would appreciate this talent is a different case entirely. That being said, this is a music for the world. If well pushed, Brymo can become a true representative of African music to the world. The album does not lack lyrical depth, acoustic simulation…it sure showcases the depth of the mind of this young man. I am excited for him and I am excited for Nigeria.

First up!!

1. Truthfully

One would almost mistaken this song for an appreciation to a higher being because of the way he says the person is his "blueprint" but lo and behold, he mentions "honey." With a "boom, boom, bap" beat, Brymo delivers a fantastic love song, an acoustic rock instrumentation, a subtle use of vocal harmony, acoustic sonority, and intricate melodic phrasing. He introduces the drums right on the bridge which takes the song to another level just before the rock guitar comes in. This track scores 8/10.

2. Down

The strength of this track is in the traditional drums and the philosophical lyrics. You could easily think he was telling an African folktale to a gathering of young people. He addresses the ills of the society talking about "the thief" that everyone know is a thief and the society seems not to bother because the said thief is a main contributor to the economy of the society. He perfectly uses the string ensemble on this track and at this point listening, I was so sure that this songs could not have been produced by "Jesse Jagz" or "Chopstick" of the Chocolate City because this is definitely not in their genre. Click here to listen to Down

3. Eko

Respect to the Afrobeat movement. This is probably the fastest paced song on the album delivered on strictly Afrobeat with a mild rhythmic syncopation. A good dose of acoustic guitar picking', upbeat lyrics and a tone that seems more like an acoustic rhythm piano. He sings about "Eko", the Yoruba name for the state of "Lagos" - the financial capital of the western African nation of Nigeria. He sings about the goodies of the land like it was his lover in the verse, and then mentions a lady he fell in love with in Lagos on the second verse and finally on the last verse, he dumps the lover. This track is probably the one song with a sing along chorus on the album; just keep shouting "Eko". Click here to listen to the song.

4. Everyone gets to die

Then we cross over to reggae. If you still doubt that Brymo is a class act, then you probably do not appreciate good music. Like I said, the album is strictly a master piece for matured minds. With reggae beats and a rock guitar, Brymo lyrically discusses the ills of the Nigerian society again; he mentions the varying situational needs of the poor and the rich but then emphasizes that regardless of this differences "Everyone gets to die." He also talks about the disparity in his own mind when it comes to moral good. Only a few artistes in Nigeria can boast of such lyrical depth; Nosa, Asa…I can count them on my fingers.

5. Money Ft David

A seemingly Afrobeat mash up on this one too. I like the way whoever has been producing for Brymo chooses to experiment not so familiar tunes and instruments. You would almost think the chief instrument again was a rock guitar but it definitely sounds different from what we have heard before. Money is the topic on this track……"do you like to spend money, do you like to dine and party" he screams on this track, he says "if you go into depth because of such spending habits, you will definitely pay". This is a mixed acoustic and electric guitars presentation, folk influences and upbeat lyrics.

6. Cheap Wines

Wow!! I had to listen to this over and over again. So much depth to this song and its like telling a tale with metaphors and irony. He starts by saying "he is high on some cheap alcohol, flowing over the clouds" and then switches to how he is just a normal man seeking a normal life but history and the environment seems to be against him. The drums, the guitar play a major part on this track as it progresses through varying ranges and elevations.

7. Se Bo'timo

9ice has always been the chief propagator of deep thinking Yoruba songs in Nigeria. This track easily places Brymo as his Number one competition. The Acoustic guitar and the rhythm piano help propagate his message of patience and how everyone should ride of the wings of faith (fate) and allow a manifestation of their season. He says the tortoise keeps moving regardless of what the society thinks of it, it keeps moving. (move at your own pace and you will surely get there) A wonderful string ensemble in my opinion.

8. Dear Titilope

A 15 second interlude

9. Merchant, Dealers and Slaves

The title song of the album is deep thinking single versed philosophical track. Its lack of verses makes it hard to determine what his message is on this track. I will ask him when I see him.

10. Grandpa

Afrobeat again, sings about his grand father. I think its a cynical and ironical song about the man. One of the few groovy tracks on the album that you can actually bump your head to or even dance. I'm particularly interested in the producer of this track. The name of the studio was mentioned on the track. A superb mash up of Afrobeats and modern instrumentation, drums, strings and the rhythm piano.

11. Purple jar

With similar instrumentation like we see on most of the tracks on the album, he talks about how he cheated on his lover; she left him and all he is left with are the memories and a purple jar. The purple jar must definitely mean something worthwhile for the relationship between the lover and the loved. The song transcends between strings, wind and keys.

"Merchant, Dealers and Slaves" is a masterpiece that every one should get. The music is one that can be exported outside the shores of Nigeria. With superb video production for some of this tracks, maybe Nigeria would be looking at a Grammy (or maybe I am just overexcited)…all I am saying is that this is GOOD MUSIC.

I am here already thinking about possible remixes and collabos. A duet with Waje on Purple Jar or Truthfully wont be a bad idea at all. Also a rap verse from MI on Grandpa will also sound good.

You can get the album on iTunes.
