Congratulations to them abeg. Useless country that is going down the drain. Frustrating her youths into depression.

I'm very happy for them too.

Very useless, to be honest. Everybody don tire.

I was chatting with a friend earlier today and two of her people are already UK bound.

The Brain Drain is here to stay. Many Nigerians are leaving in their droves!!!

ahnie:
No vex,the phone see werin passam,he kuku crash.
But hopefully you can reach me tomorrow.
Howdy?

Ehen,because I was kinda worried. I tried calling again today,same issue.

I'm sorry about that. I hope you get a better one soon.
Buy better one ohhhh.

No wahala. I'd try again tomorrow.
I'm good. I hope you are also.

End time CEO.

I know the kind shoe wey im wear.

Lmao. You sabi their shoe wella.

I burst into uncontrollable laughter that day.
Job applicant come dey shine pass CEO.

Na GNLD job be this.

Back in 100level when I was searching for job for extra cash,I saw a vacancy somewhere for Personal Assistant to CEO. See me thinking it's better job,I left home very early, didn't even have breakfast all in the name of "job interview". Lmao.
These people set exam for me,I was the highest scorer, then they asked Current Affairs which I aced, next thing was them explaining their products to me and saying in the next 3months, I will buy a car bla bla. The said "CEO" said he goes in and out of America everytime for vacation and all of that.
And the only thing I needed to do was to pay N5-10k for job registration and training.
Hian. I called plenty people that day and explained to them but it seemed like scam to them and God didn't even want me to be scammed that day sef.

That's how I went home dejected that I had "lost a job". Only for me to see the supposed "CEO" one day coming out from Mama put with toothpick in his mouth and entering bus. Immediately our eyes met, he became embarrassed and shifted his gaze.

I will never forget that day.

Magnoliaa:
Sure. I'll begin working on it.



❤ Thank you, dear.



Ohhh... this looks relatively easy. Very easy actually. This would be the type I can take... I no dey like things wey dey feel like say e heavy ontop my chest.

Alright no wahala.

You're welcome Mango.

Lol. I swear, it's an easy job that I can do even while sleeping.
Wallahi,I nor like "hard tasks" wey go come dey gimme headache abeg.

Magnoliaa:
Woah... e come pack requirements like this? Welp. Maybe some other time sha or as time goes on, because like this I don't even have a resume or CV... and speaking of which, I think I should begin to like draft it now? Pending my graduation.



These are still very recently. Nothing, nothing beats the smell and the experience.

@bolded, that's such a nice idea, and habit to pick up. Well done.



This almost happened to me sha. Thank God for what God said, lol. I feel it usually take a great deal if effort for one to drag oneself back and over to that place. I guess my zeal for actually becoming a successful, bestselling author overweighs my comfort and the feeling of not doing what I want to do. I still have very high hopes for a writing career- as a novelist.

Lmao. E pack requirements, my dear.

I also saw some Handwriting jobs on Upwork yesterday too that are way simpler.


Yes, you can start drafting out your CV, doesn't matter if you haven't graduated yet.
I started developing mine since 300level.

Lol, yes it's recent. Nothing beats the smell and experience, my dear. You sabi!

I wish you success in your career as a high flying novelist. The J.K. Rowling and Chimamanda Adichie of our time.

PS: The Handwriting job on Upwork.

YAYYYY!! Thank you Klass.

Seven blesses to you.

We play too much in this country and that's why the nation's condition remains the same year in, year out.

pocohantas:
This one strong o. Starve kwa?

Yes!!!! I don't like drinking garri at all.

I don't understand the fuzz about drinking garri. I don't like it.
I rather just eat Eba.

And if there's no food available, but there's only garri, I'd rather starve.

Mango, I was just scrolling through my LinkedIn feed and typed "Note Taker" and "Handwriting jobs".
See what I saw.

Congratulations to her.

Magnoliaa:
Boya if you guys talk about it and you know more, abeg, post update here.



Oh, okay.



You gerrittt.



Ahh... I no remember o. I will ask her, and get back to you.



That is it for me. Every since I started using an Android phone, I've been trying to keep my physical writing habit. It's still not coming easy. I cannot remember the last time I held a novel. That reminds me! I have a bookseller's number... I've been meaning to message him and buy some hard copies. E dey always skip my mind. I'm reaching out now.

Are you into writing fiction or articles?



I can imagine... I'm sorry about the loss.

No wahala. I will post when I get clarifications.

Alright. Thank you very much.

Lol I can relate. Having an Android phone changed my writing habit and it's really not easy.

The last time I held a novel I bought with my money was in Uni till I came to Abuja and started attending a Bookclub with my friend. It helped me actually. Nothing beats the smell of paperback novels, not all those soft copies wey dey stress my eyes. Tchewww!

You should reach out to him biko. There's this adventure fiction takes one to that is unexplainable.

When I was much younger, I used to write fiction,I even had a manuscript. Not anymore sha. Adulthood happened.

Magnoliaa:
Famed for a beautiful handwriting. I can imagine all these YouTube Nollywood channels or the children's books we read with titles like, "Folake, the brilliant Girl" or "Folake, the Girl with the most beautiful Handwriting" or "Blessed Hands" or "The Magic Golden Hand/Pen/Paper."



Opoorr. Be like I go like to feast my eyes on this your handwriting o.



See prayer, LMAO. But you are right. A legible, beautiful handwriting boosts one's marks with some lecturers. At least they wouldn't have to be straining to read what is written - extra stress.

Maggie abeg,it's not the most beautiful handwriting jor. E just dey legible and clear.



Ehen na. Good handwriting dey give good grades oh. People don't know. Some invilgilators are not patient to read what someone wrote especially if the handwriting nor clear. Having a good writing skill boost your chances more.

I am interested in it oh. I don't know much about it sha,it was my friend that was just telling me in passing.

Magnoliaa:
I don't know the paint company, but I know about these kind of souvenirs or household items from companies. Some might be calenders, some might be jotters, some might be openers... e go come plentyyyyyyyyyyy . Like, you wouldn't even remember the last time your parents bought some items in the home (with their monies) again. There's this particular unique A4 paper brand I used to take from a friend's house too. That paper is synonymous with her place, lol.



It is.



See cash-out strategy shaa... kai. Be like I should be doing this too o... but omo, I no dey write again. Writing notes for class just come tire me these days. I'm too lazy to follow through with it, and my heart no go allow me sell am sef. I'd rather dash it out.



Your grandmum must have been a savage! Wtf.

The paint company is Fine Coat Company.

I love souvenirs from companies eh especially the jotters. You know it!!!! E dey plentyyyyyyyyyy ehn. Likeeee! I don't even remember the last time my parents bought some household items with their money again.

What's the name of the a4 brand please? Do you still remember it?

Lmao. I made money in secondary school and Uni sha.
Same here too oh.I nor too dey write again. Technology has made things a bit easier but because I like reading hard copies of books, I try my best to keep writing.

My grandma was savage mehn.

Magnoliaa:
When I was in primary school, I LOVE giving my exercise notes to my own Dad to write my names, class, date and all of that on it for me. Then for the textbooks I wrap with old calenders, too, he'll write my names on it, including on all my writing materials. Everybody will now be admiring the calligraphy and I'll be feeling proud.

It was my Mum I gave my exercise notes to write all my details on for me.
Yesss! I used old calendars to wrap mine.

There's one paint company that always gave Pops plenty free calendars and it's ALWAYS so fineeeee. I always wrapped my books with that calendar brand.
Come to think of it, I've never seen my parents buy calendar before.

Nice. Your Dad's handwriting must be really beautiful.

When I was younger and didn't have money, on my parents marriage anniversary, I simply cut out cardboard paper and wrote nice stuffs in it using Board marker. My mum ABSOLUTELY loved it.

As for me,I monetized my handwriting skills. I wrote notes for people and they paid me.
Even in Uni, people used to collect my note and book ahead to copy, especially the old folks, them go come dash me money ontop or buy me food.

There was one woman who has a photocopy shop in my school faculty, Mama Nikki, she'd had seen my notes in her shop severally before she finally met me and she said she made extra money from photocopying my notes and selling to students because it was that fine.

Coming to NLS, when I was contesting elections, we were told to write a handwritten introductory letter about ourselves and submit to the Student Affairs office.
Small task!!! I settled down and crested on the foolscap sheet my best handwriting styles. When I went to submit it at the office, the woman in charge was so pleased and she went round showing the other staff my handwriting.

To be honest oh, this handwriting is my lifesaver in exams. I fit write rubbish or not read for exam, the handwriting dey give me small mark
When people are praying that the examiner should see what they wrote in their exam script, my own prayer na make God allow the examiner to love my handwriting and favour me say I try.

My late grandma used to tease me that my handwriting is finer than me.


I would love to perfect my calligraphy skills sha.
I heard that there are some virtual jobs that you'd listen to online lectures and the students will pay you for making notes from such lectures and it must be handwritten.
