The career dilemma...

Many years ago I was where you are now.

I took the road less traveled. I settled for a career in Nigeria.

I got a job in a Big 4. Then moved on to an FMCG, where the perks are much higher!

On education, I got chartered, and I'm finishing an MBA.

On family, I got married to my best friend from University, and I just made my first baby.

Do I regret not moving to the US to join my mom, a US citizen?

I do. Every. Single. Minute.

Why? Nigeria is a very uncertain place to stay and thrive. You could be up there in the sky today and the next week you're back on the mud. In a country of many poor people, you run the risk of becoming a victim of crime due to envy...post COVID-19 it'll get worse.

Look at you at 30. You're dithering. You're pussyfooting.

Look at me at 28. I still regret the mistake my 25 year old self made. I'm pushing daily to leave Nigeria.

I want to leave, not because I'm broke in Nigeria, but the collective poverty in this country scares me...

Most crimes committed today are more out of envy and hunger than of greed.

If you can, please run. For your SAFETY

Annual leaves are earned and not a favour granted by managers. Companies/Management should ensure

1) Leave calendars are maintained
2) Managers are pushed to plan and execute leave plans
3) Employees are pushed to utilize leaves and are not disturbed during a break
4) Appropriate delegation is in place such that the work is not impacted
5) Leadership promotes a culture of appropriate work life balance

Don’t hesitate to ask for leaves. It’s your right. Just make sure that the assigned work is sorted in advance and the leaves are well planned such that a back up can take care.

Presidential Speech by Bola Ahmed Tinubu (BAT) - A guide to understanding 5 economic jargons in the speech:

1. Unified exchange rate: An exchange rate (in this context) is the rate at which one currency is swapped for another (e.g N1 = $1). Nigeria currently has two exchange rates, the official rate set by the CBN (currently around N461), and the parallel market rate (currently around N760), which is decided by the market. A unified rate will mean that there will be only one exchange rate. A market led exchange rate is better ideally (but may lead to the naira losing value in the short run), especially if available to all as investors would be able to plan with the stability, the CBN would save USD and there will be less room for arbitrage.

2. Arbitrage: This is the buying and selling of an asset to take advantage of price differences. In this case, the arbitrage referred to here is the difference between the price of the USD at the official rate, and the price at the parallel market. For instance, getting access to $1m at the official rate would cost N460m, and selling it at the black market would yield N760m approximately. Money is made by just having access. BAT intends to minimise/eliminate such arbitrage because USD is limited in Nigeria and needs to get to those who need it for productive activities.

3. Subsidy Removal: Subsidy is money paid on a product to reduce its cost by the time it reaches the end consumer. The government currently pays subsidy on petrol, to reduce the final cost to Nigerians. The Federal Government set up a plan to remove subsidy this year, and the new President announced that the plan is still in motion.

Removal of fuel subsidy will make petrol a lot more expensive than it is today. The President intends for the cost savings to be used to improve education and healthcare.

4. Monetary Policy: Monetary policy is a set of actions to control a Nation's money supply. Monetary policy includes actions like determining interest rates, managing inflation, how much banks should keep in reserve, etc. The president wasn't specific on what Monetary Policy "house cleaning" means for this administration but it's likely to start by unifying the exchange rates.

5. Omnibus Jobs and Prosperity Bill: An Omnibus bill is a bill that covers diverse topics. In this case the Tinubu administration is proposing an omnibus bill for jobs and prosperity, which might mean that it will be targeted at providing jobs, promoting ease of doing business, and bettering living conditions.

A similar Act was passed in Canada and contained amendments of several acts in the fiscal, infrastructure, housing, social development, and various industrial sectors which helped to boost job creation.

These proposals are great and long overdue. Hopefully, the new administration has the resolve, discipline and wisdom to implement them appropriately.

Wow! I'm beginning to think that you're sort of a walking encyclopaedia. You'll delve into this and that, and do so quite captivatingly. Hope your man treasures you o. 🙂

And talking about the return of Poch to Epl, especially that troubled Chelsea team, he's going to have a tougher ride this time. The landscape has changed as teams keep raising the bar of competition. And though his team plays with flair but they're not always solid. And fear for him regarding that Chelsea defense which is one of the most porous in Epl. Not with the likes of Fofana, chalobah, etc in there.
