Travel / Nigerians/nairalanders In South-east Asia by gbokukueba(m): 3:28am On Apr 26, 2023 |
Greetings, I recently relocated to East Asia and realise there are just a handful of Africans and Nigerians in this region and would be great if we can collaborate on ideas for schooling, business, job opportunities and how to navigate the travel restrictions we have in this region. Please if you live in any of these countries let's identify and connect with each other: China, Japan, Mongolia, North Korea, South Korea, Taiwan, Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar (Burma), Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, Timor-Leste (East Timor), and Vietnam. I am based in Hong Kong. |

Yes sadly. I used to work in a factory and once hired a factory worker who went through all the recruitment process and even medical and on day one, he confided to his manager that he has a deformity on his hands based on an accident that happened when he was younger. No one saw that coming and it seem he deliberately hid his deformity all through and even to the doctor that did his medical check up. Sadly, we had to let him go as we were not convinced he could do the work with his hands that way and the fact he concealed it until resumption. 2 Likes |

kenny1111: This is unfair to your child. For goodness sake, a 3-year-old should be learning rhymes and some physical activities to build his mental and physical strength. What this child is been subjected to can lead to some serious psychological consequences in the future. Why do 3 years old have an assignment from school? Please allow your child to grow at his own pace, there is no cause for alarm they will catch up later trust me I know as I have first-hand experience in this regard. |

tjskii: Hello there, Sorry just seeing your message now. Yes, you are on the right track in terms of academic qualification which is a very good step into your desired career. My only point is that you start where you are as an added responsibility with no financial impact on the organization that way its easier to learn, make mistakes and be forgiven. Other organizations will not be lenient especially if they are paying you for your years of experience. I hope this helps, let me know if you have more questions. 2 Likes |

vikkogg: The first question you need to ask your self is, are you learning? Are you getting the required experience? This is the time to put in a good shift and the reward will come in 3/4 years time. You still have about 35 years to work so why be in a hurry to make money at the expense of relevant experience? |

Literature / Re: Story Of A Barrack Child by gbokukueba(m): 10:54am On Feb 04, 2019 |
This is not a love story! The Barrack is a place where competition is normal, people compete for the weirdest things back in the days, like who was the first family to buy video TV, or VHS player or which block has the best football team. It was really ridiculous, but we love it and that made us who we are today. When it comes to music, the Barrack was an entity on his own, the culture was heavily influenced by the contemporary music at that time. Hip-hop artist like Tupac and Biggie were our role models even local artist like Baba Fryo and Daddy Showkey were very popular and we could sing songs from their albums cover to cover. In fact, there are rumours that some of the popular dance steps credited to the Ajegunle kids were copied from us. You might know the popular dance steps of Galala, Suwo but have you heard of Eeeba. Eeeba was a funny type of dance that you will scream the word and the same time thrust for left leg forward while bending forward and stay in that position for about 30 seconds while shaking your leg to the rhythm of the song. This might be ridiculous in 2019 but in 1995, it was bae! In all of these dancing madness, there emerged a new King of dance, Chucks! He was a lady’s man, and envy of all the guys. He was the standard for dancing and good looks and he reign supreme at all events and parties in the Barracks. If there is any new dance that is out everyone waits for Chuck to do it and whatever he does is the yardstick.

kimewills: My advise is start where you are. IF there is no structure, find a way to help build structure which you can include on your CV as an accomplishment (driving a change in difficult enviroment). There is nothing wrong in starting HR in a new enviroment but are you will to start from the bottom and build your credibility on the way up? It easier said than done as if might invovle salary cut and assisting people younger than you and not a llot of years of experience as you might have had. Reflect on this... |

kimewills: Glad to be of help. 1. You do not need a Diploma to register for CIPMN, you will start with your first degree as a student member, Yes if you have the opportunity you can be an intern while studying CIPMN 2. There is nothing absolutely wrong doing the exams alongside your current job is sales and marketing 3. The reassurance has to come from you and if you think it is a wise field to delve into. You still have age on your side. Having said the above this is my personal view, I had a similar background with you that the first 3 years of my career was in sales before I moved into a bank and moved into HR but my full HR experience came when i was 30 mind you I didn't write any exams until I was absolutely sure HR was where my heart was. One error I see people making in preparing to move to HR is to write the exams. I know people that are chattered HR members with zero HR experience. When you are above 30, you need some form of experience to advance in HR and the best way to do it is to move to HR in your current organization where they know you and you can learn from mistakes and as you do the exams you build your credibility along the way. I hope this has helped in some ways. 4 Likes |

Oshodi: Enter with your Change In the late 80s and early 90s if you never visited the Bar Beach in Lagos, you are a novice, but my parent never took us there for obvious reasons as there were so many stories of children drowning and a lot of diabolical stuff happening there, so it was a no-go area. As a barrack child that has zero regards for authority, I broke this rule with my partner in crime, Gee. One day, Gee and I discussed how come we will be in this Lagos and never visit the Bar Beach, in fact, we must plan to see this place ourselves. We pulled all the money we could lay hands on and in this group was me, my 10-year-old younger brother, Gee and his 13-year-old brother, I was 12 then. We were so excited and because we will not get approval, we were quite discrete that no one knew where we would be that day. We took a bus from PWD to Oshodi, paid for 2 seats while we ‘lapped’ our brothers and did the same from Oshodi to Obalende. The trip to Obalende was fun as the third mainland bridge was recently opened and the drive over the lagoon was a beauty to behold and remember we are going to have fun at the famous Bar Beach and finally tick that off our bucket list. Eventually, we arrived Bar Beach from Obalende at about noon, and the fun began. We went swimming cautiously, went horse riding, had loads and loads of candy also played soccer with some boys we met at the beach and about 3pm we decided it’s time to start heading out before anyone observes we were missing. At that time, there was no organized bus stop, which meant buses stop anywhere to pick up especially when they see a crowd (I guess it hasn’t changed). The way back was to take Obalende bus from Bar beach, then Oshodi from there and Ikeja right after, suddenly we heard a conductor screaming at the top of his lungs, “Oshodi, Oshodi, Oshodi, wole pelu change ee (enter with your change)”! Gee went to ask him how much is it from to Oshodi? And he mentioned a fraction of what it would have cost us. If you recall at the start of the journey we had to scrap all that we had to go on this once in a lifetime trip so we only have enough for transportation back and to make things wonderful, we had a direct bus from Bar beach to Oshodi at a fraction of what it cost us coming the other way. Rather than “lap each other” we decided to seat comfortably and paid for 4 seats as we now have enough change. We also bought ice cream on the way to Oshodi in traffic as we had so much money left with us. Dear beloved, the journey to Oshodi was very brief and in 15 minutes conductor screamed, https://omobarrack..com/2019/01/oshodi-enter-with-your-change.html 1 Like |

Literature / The Witch And The Baobaotree (A True Life Event) by gbokukueba(m): 6:10am On Jan 09, 2019 |
Growing up in the barracks there were some spooky stories and one readily comes to mind. It was a rainy Saturday morning and we all woke up to screams and shouts of, witch, witch witch…, everyone rushed towards the screaming to find out what was happening. There’s a girl not more than 13 wailing and crying and begging and “confessing” that she belongs to a convent and she mentioned all the atrocious things you could imagine. Prior to that a child had died in some unusual circumstance and this girl says she and her fellow witches are responsible for the death of the child. We believed! The girl went on to make some more astonishing confession and one of them made virtually everyone sick when they heard it… in those days there were women that sold bean cake (akara) in different blocks and she mentioned a particular seller that she uses blood to fry her akara… all of us that had eaten that akara went bonkers! We believed! In addition to frying with blood (how possible is that sef), they hold their meetings under the large tree between Blocks Q15 & Q16. She made some outrageous claims that they have mansions on the tree and even latest cars (this was in the late 80s)… We believed! We have always wondered about that tree as it towered above the 2 story blocks of flats and some even told us it was bewitched that’s why there seem not to be any fruits from the tree and you must not be caught under the tree at 12 midnight… you might just never be found. We believed! There’s a saying that government never believes in superstitious claims, but the authorities of the Barracks were only humans and they not only believed but they took actions. First, they sent the akara seller and her family out of the barracks is the most embarrassing way where women sweep the ground after them as they were going away. Secondly, they tasked some people to cut down the tree, we heard while cutting the tree blood was coming out and the tree was healing itself and finally they had to go get a real ‘juju’ man to come do some incantations and eventually they cut the tree down… and everyone lived happily ever after… for a while… Years later probably about 10 years after the incidence, we learnt the girl that confessed had mental health issues and had falsely accused the akara seller. The tree was a Baobao tree and the family moved back to the barracks and your truly was glad I didn’t eat akara with blood… This is the end of the story. https://omobarrack..com/ 2 Likes |
