You have not said yours because it is not easy to say which of your favourite things will kill you.

What if all these influencers get paid by the same people to carry out different roles while they sit back to enjoy the drama as it unfolds… and the funny thing is the influencers won’t know who is bankrolling the other person.

Some stupid billionaires actually do these not just in politics alone also in the entertainment industry

azpekuliar:
He did bad by airing the disparaging comments of a rabble rouser. It’s not a live show. They recorded, he reviewed it, he edited it and uploaded it. He knew what he was doing. He was no innocent bystander.

I remember some years ago, Uncle Jimi invited a guest to the studio (one of those June 12 activitists). The man made a disparaging comment about the late Admiral Akhigbe. Dis Admiral na person wey don die tay tay oo. Yet Uncle Jimi said his guest should withdraw the statement and apologize. The guest refused. Omo Uncle Jimi bounce the man comot for studio on live air.

Back to Nedu. He had repeatedly sought to bring VDM to the podcast but he was turned down repeatedly. So there has been a grudge, and it has come to a head now. I repeat, he was no innocent bystander.

7 THINGS TO NOTE BEFORE YOU SAY I DO TO A PPA series 1

These are not total red flag, just to getting you informed especially for those who just left camp and want to have peace of mind and enjoy the next 11 Months of their NYSC service at their different Place of Primary Assignment (PPA). No PPA is perfect and you might need to bear with some so that you settle down. But let it be your choice and what you want to work with.

So many employer take advantage of Corp Members as cheap labour to achieve the end goal of their organisation. In order not to be used like slaves or office helper, all in the name of serving your father land, let this post give you a head up in and knowledgeable before allowing them to tear that acceptance slip.

Most important, is don't be in a hurry especially if you are relocated Corp Members (CM) don't become desperate looking for PPA. As NYSC can always even give you a better teaching option. If not relocated corper, don't be in hurry to just about getting accepted so they could head home.

Perhaps you want show your Khaki to your parents. Or maybe to slay people around street. Nevertheless, you are not alone in that, I felt the same urge too. Just as everybody else. It’s normal.

CAVEAT: Most PPA Managers are good and can be so kind at first, as they are more experience than you. Remember you will not be the first Corper there.

1. Don't be anxious

Don’t be too anxious to get or accept any PPA. There is always enough time. Believe me, the waiting is worth it.

Don’t be too anxious and frustrated that you will jump on a marketing place where you have to be hawking and walking around to get people to buy a product or whatever. You are better than that.

Don’t be like many CMs, who in the name of frustration for a PPA quickly, accepted any Primary schools and ended up becoming a Nannies, baby-sitting and cleaning the mess of kindergarten pupils. (remember the initial caveat that might be what some nursing corpers need)

2. Good accommodation

I will not lie about this. Most PPA do not have a conducive accommodation for all the CMs and that might even be better to some place without anything and yet there is no payment and with workload.

Don't settle for just anything Good accommodation can take more than all your 12 months allowance at once especially in this current economy. Some have overcrowded corpers lodge too, some of the corpers might be leaving soon, but do your research well as another set will come after those one go too. On several occasions, you will have to get an accommodation for yourself.

Some PPA's might provide an accommodation and you might not like it for privacy or other reasons.

Do not have it in mind that not every PPA will provide you with accommodation. It’s luck sometimes, but like every negotiation know that something else is benefit you.

Some of the reasons you want to look for an accommodation by yourself include
1. Privacy
2. Electricity
3. Network (where applicable)
4. Location
5. Conducive environment

Don't forget it all come with a cost.

3. Your free day must be allowed

You have privilege to a day of every week, in which you are not expected to be at your PPA at all (usually your CDS day). Your PPA must be ready to give you this day fully. Not expected to work for few hours on the same day.

It’s a work-free day for you. You Boss might push you by asking, but you have to state it that CDS days are off.

4. PPA allowance

That’s the allowance (money) the PPA will pay you at the end of every month, that’s if it’s a private PPA. This should not be less than ₦10,000, can be more, say 20k, 30k, 50k up to 250k.

Let them know you don’t like to be owed also because many employers are fond of that don't forget you don't get honest answer from employer do you research from corpers currently there. Don't be rude about your employer. You just have to make your point clear. ₦33k/77k alone may not be enough especially in our current economic reality.

Good evening people. Please I'm currently in a dilemma at this crucial stage of my life. I'm a graduate and unemployed but I plan on going into learning digital / IT skills..
The dilemma is that my uncle who works in an oil firm has told me to apply for a safety course so he would help me get a job as a safety officer if I'm successful with passing the course.

I want to ask, is it worth ditching my IT learning ambitions for? How lucrative is the pay?

A family of 6 3 boys and 3 girls, they all went to school, got job and are working. Now all the children decided that they will be making contributions for the wellbeing of their parents and the family in general.

All the sisters are part of the monthly contributions.

Now along the line one of the sister got married and leaving with the husband.

The sister is still working and the husband is working in a better place than the wife. An issue came up between the husband and the wife and the issue escalated that they have to call the both family for meeting.

Now the husband is saying that since he's married to the sister, she have no right making contributions to her own family. That all her money belongs to him.

The sister's family is saying that she have been making contributions before she got married so the man have no right to stop her from making contributions.

As at the time the issue came up, the wife contribution is roughly 50k per month.

What's your take on this....

Is the wife wrong for making contributions to her family even after getting married.

Even buying it today, for price appreciation is a perfect decision.

So I lost my job December, and I have purposed in my heart never to tell my wife. The reason is because I don't want a situation where I get to regret telling her because of disrespect.

The thing is... I will still be depending on my savings until I get a new job, but I don't want to be staying at home as a jobless man.

So please can you suggest for me the various places where I can go to spend time perhaps from 8am to 5pm daily? I don't want to appear as being jobless to my wife.

Please any suggestions please. I am aware of how the society deal apprehensively to jobless grown men, so please be calculative in your suggestions. Thank you.
