Interview invites rolling in.

Yeah. Stanbic sent their "best" this evening.

Septunde:
I believe the whole house is doing great this evening!

Sure. I asked him yesterday. He told me he saw two more persons but all for different purposes. He however concluded that the chat he had was just to confirm some things. Let's HOPE for the best from Stanbic before the week runs out.

H-Having
O-Only
P-Positive
E-Expectations

I didn't get any too.

obynzo:

Invites for final chat rolling in.

You are blessed.

From what I have observed so far, passion isn't exactly the main thing that a significant amount of Nigerian youth consider when thinking of a job? It seems as though money, status, stress, and free time are the main things that a disproportionate number of Nigerians/youth consider before doing a degree or getting a job.

Honestly, I can't say that a banking job is stress free and I can't even say being a farmer or plantain seller is stress free but you'd honestly be surprised at the number of people who will gladly work 12 hours a day in such jobs (apart from selling plantain I guess) with full understanding that they got into the job for the love of the field or maybe even for the love of what their work represents for their life. Life isn't easy but life is also beautiful. We were all born into the world with no clothes and if not for our parents, we were all born with absolutely nothing. I honestly believe that whether you are Donald Trump's son or a carpenter's son, the world owes you nothing at all. Life will show you this everyday in many ways. Keeping this in mind, you have to decide what is important to you and stop complaining that things aren't the way you envision them. If money is your prime objective and you don't care about passion then okay fine, go and work in a top city law firm in a first world country and make mega bucks but just know that that money isn't free. I remember an MD at a conference telling us that city law firms in London and America are like sweat shops. They will pay you well but every penny you make is earned in addition to each sweat , blood, and tears they take from you. They have barely any time and are under massive pressure but if money is you main goal then go for it but it would be a shame to complain about such sources of income when that is the reality of life. You work for your money. The MD is not your daddy or mommy, the MD is a daddy or mommy to kids who is trying to feed with his business. Banking is no different. In UK, I see even estate agents leaving work at 8 pm. If you're lucky enough to get in an investment bank or financial institution in UK, you will find people with financial goals that won't even leave the building at lunchtime. NOTHING IS FREE!

Even if you choose to try the entrepreneurial route, you will WORK for every penny. One can't be fooled by these random people on Instagram and media stunting with their fast money. Fast money is usually very very risky.This is why you see them wasting a lot of it and stunting for all of us to see. Slower money takes time and will bring the blood , sweat and, tears out of you. I can't count the number of times I've heard top businessmen and women talk about sleeping only 3 days a week and only sleeping like 2-3 hours for the other days of the week. When you truly research and understand the cost of becoming a millionaire or financially healthy like we dream of, then you will understand why a lot of entrepreneurs are no nonsense individuals who keep their wallet close to them and work like they don't have a penny to their name. The cost is plenty.

Now if you want to just have a decent salary and free time then a place like a bank or law firm is probably not for you. You can't complain about such workplaces being hard when you are meant to be employed to work in industries that are so complex and risky. The real world is a jungle. I don't see why anyone can expect ease, comfort, and predictability. I honestly doubt there are plenty of jobs where you will have the salary you want for little effort.

Passion for the industry you work in is so so so important. It's almost like the principle of karma. If you have passion, you work work work and go through hell and you only feel a little sweat. The pain of the journey can feel so different if you have passion. At the end of the day there are 7 billion others who could take that job. You're not so special that a job should be created for you to meet all the criteria to give you ease of life. Give give, and give, and eventually, you will get get and get.

I can only imagine how angry I'd be if I worked 14 hours a day for years and years to build my big business that suddenly becomes subject to complaints about working hours. Life isn't a stroll in the park like we would have liked to imagine as children. It's fully of many challenges but also many rewards. Understanding this is key to satisfaction at work. Things could always be worse but things could always be better. The key is to be content and follow your heart. Money first (as this thread has proven) , in many cases won't bring the satisfaction one needs. Passion, heart, honour, and spirit will lead you to greater pastures. Balance is everything.

Best regards

Bsharp:

DevGuru:
UPDATE!!!

I must confess that Nairaland is a wonderful online community. In these trying times of mine, the only thing that has kept my head intact is the company I have here reading all comments. I would have revealed much more information about us especially for the sake of those who have expressed their doubts about the veracity of my story, but I can't, because I wouldn't want to provide some pointers for anyone on this forum who might know any of my wife's relatives or mine. Although I got several diverse opinions, all comments still depicted the kindness in the the hearts of the commenters. Even those who called me stupid for not being too hard on my wife did so because they feared I could lose my life - a high level of kindness which I appreciate a lot. Even the opinions I did not follow on this thread still served a purpose of enlarging the pool of options from which I was able to make a choice. I expect much more expressions of disappointment towards my folly (for deciding not to go for a divorce for the sake of my child, the unborn and the fact that my faith forbids me from marrying another woman if I choose not to live with her anymore).

On the morning following my last update, my wife's depression continued but I tried to act like a loving husband towards her. I could read in her face that the more I tried to be kind towards her, the greater the emotional torment she passed through because she found it hard to believe that I could forgive her. Maybe she even thought I was planning a brutal revenge, but this time, not against her alone but against her sisters. She could not imagine the extent of my actions if I was to execute her thoughts. In the evening, as we were having dinner, she started talking softly to me while looking at the food on the table. I had to tell her to speak louder because it was like she was talking to the food. Then she voiced out as tears rolled down her cheeks saying "I've informed all my siblings about our conversations that got leaked to you and they are not talking to me again". I asked her why they were not talking to her and she said they all must have been confused and I understood that to be because they did not know what my next move would be. Married adults of ages between 35 - 45 were running helter-skelter because they had just ruined their sister's marriage. Their ONLY hope was in my forgiveness. The Lord had suddenly delivered my 'enemies' into my hands and if I chose to wield my sword, they might have to relocate away from their home town because the extended family would know the shameful story that threw their last born out of marriage. I told my wife that seeing her crying for the misery of her sisters was annoying to me as it meant she was further betraying our home. Then I picked her phone on the dinning table to check whether the records were still there... lo and behold... everything was gone. Even the app itself had been uninstalled. I smiled and asked her why she cleared the calls and the app, she replied (crying further) "I just can't listen to the evil voices of myself and my sisters". I smiled again and asked "What about the app? You don't want me to ever hear anything again? She replied "No, I just wished to clear everything that could bring bring back the memory". Then I opened my laptop and navigated to a folder where I had copied all the conversations. I played one and she was shocked to hear it even louder than it was on the the phone. Her fears had just been confirmed... "Why was he pretending that he had forgiven me..." - just my own thought anyways. But truly, I had forgiven her, I was just trying to follow some wise counsel from Nairaland. She couldn't wait till the end, she left me with the food and walked to the bedroom. I slept on the living room couch that night.

The following morning, I continued to read comments on this thread and remembered I was sitting on a time bomb by keeping the whole thing to myself. I went to have my bath and told her I was going out. She was surprised because it was a public holiday. I was already on the road when I called my father that I needed to see him urgently. Luckily for me, he was at home, so I went straight to him and explained all that had happened to him while I played some 'music'. He praised me for taking the matter to him first because he knows we are all closer to mum and revealing such an issue to mum would mean an end - or at most, the beginning of the end. My dad respects my wife's parents a lot and would not like me to take them to their knees on this issue. He spoke with me at length. He said my wife was a good lady but the reason she was so vulnerable was because of her position in the family and that the sisters weren't so lucky this time. He advised me to get closer to my wife so that a natural distance could evolve between her and her sisters. He then begged me never tell my wife that I had revealed the matter to any of my family members because that would be a strong way for me to prove my love to her which she would ever live to appreciate. After all talks, he asked me to call one of my wife's sisters' husbands right in his presence because he knew they (the husbands) must have been told a 'padded' story. I first used the FCMB Mobile App on my phone to load N3,000 before making the call. At the start, he was cold with me on the phone as if a rival was trying to ask for his girlfriend's best food. Later, he admitted that he was aware of all that happened and started all those Yoruba elders' talk... how he had never raised his hand to beat his wife, how he would always walk out, how he and his wife prayed together... bla bla bla. Then I told him I was going to terminate the call and forward some files to him on Whatsapp. I simply picked two of his own wife's conversation with my wife and forwarded to him, expecting him to call back. After about 30 minutes, my Dad told me to call back. I called twice before he answered. He became cold again and couldn't say anything but that his wife would call me soon. After about 1 hour and nothing happened, I had to leave, but my dad told me to carry him along. When I got home, I walked to the bedroom and met my wife on the phone but I did not know who she was speaking with. I returned to the living room and continued reading from my myriad of advisers on this thread.

Then the call came in. It was my wife's sister's voice (not the eldest one)... begging me to forgive and try to forget. She sounded like she was outdoors under the influence of some heavy downpour. I can't express the feeling at that moment but the only thing that I remembered was Proverbs 16:7. (apologies to the wonderful Muslims on this thread...). Even though she didn't believe me, I forgave her. Then the husband collected the phone from her and spoke with me at length... apologising on behalf of the entire family. The major point he kept re-iterating was that I should not let my people know...

All the while, several other simultaneous calls were on. My wife's family members were calling one another while some also called my wife to know the extent of what I got hold of. Interestingly, the first born (who advised my wife to keep a separate account) had also been hinted and had run to their parents to open up to them. She could imagine the level of shame that was coming to her - A PhD holder who is the family's Senior Adviser on every issue. Her parents called her husband to join them immediately as he was their only front soldier who could speak to me. Suddenly, the first born's husband's call came in. He pleaded that he would not like us to revisit the ugly situation but that I was the only one that could save the entire family from the mess by forgiving everyone. He stated that he had been told everything that was done to me and he would like me to honour him and reverse my war order - this was when I confirmed that they had been speaking to my wife. He showered prayers on me while I remained aggressive in my AMEN responses (as if to let them know I was neutralising their spells on me). He promised to call my wife and warn her never to discuss her family issues again with any of her sisters. He also begged me severally never to reveal it to my people as it would mean a reversal to the beginning. Although he didn't give me the impression that my wife's parents were with him - my wife told me this later...

At night, my wife came to kneel down by my side to make her own pleading. I was very glad because the whole ambience was like the clear sky devoid of any cloudy covering after a thunderous rain. I spoke softly to her and began to re-iterate my ideals to her - it was a good preaching time for me. Now everyone (including my wife) is praying that I do not decide to spill the whole thing out one day. My wife's eldest sister later called me that night to directly tender her own apology - at a time she had confirmed I wasn't going to be hostile anymore.

For me, I believe there's so much left for me to do on my wife. For anyone who has followed the recent events of my life which could have ended in a tragedy but for God's intervention and would love to give me some helpful ideas as I move forward, kindly drop your comments. I'll be very glad to read them.
