| Career › Re: What Yardstick Would You Use To Measure Success In Your Career by Hidentity(m): 6:48am On Dec 03, 2016*. Modified: 7:37am On Dec 03, 2016 |
Friend, I think that this question is more of an individual thing than general. In my circle of friends, our measure of career success even varies, but there are common grounds. Let us examine some: 1: Expertise and professionalism What can I rate myself in my field? Am I just some regular guy in this field or some expert? What makes me that expert? E.g if you are a lawyer, in how many areas of law can I deal well? If I focus on just an area, how good am I? And can the firm release me for a client on a transaction and be rest assured all Is will be dotted and Ts crossed? 2: Financial reward/Salary I have read a lot of posts where people are advised not to 'chase' money at the start of their career because it will come. I do laugh. What does chasing mean? If you follow that to the letter, you may not be successful career wise. Chase money, but do it within the ambience of the law. Ensure you get paid for your service. A terrible pay will most likely affect career growth. No matter how good you are, no matter how hard working you are, the reward for your efforts must be proportionate or near proportionate to help with the mental and material growth which will put you in a great mindset to give your career what it takes to grow. So, your pay can tell how far you've gone vis-a-vis career too. 3: Caucus standard No matter where you work or your pay, there is always a meeting point for you and those at your level in the same profession or even other professions sometimes. How do you do in those meeting points? If you're on the line, it is a sign your career is going well. Mind you, know the difference between things they achieved which are unconnected to career e.g if they all have cars and you don't, it might be more of a question of choice than growth. 4: Achievements Make a list and be fair to yourself. Start from your day one. Don't go including how you're good at making jokes at work. That's no career achievement. Look at things like: The transactions you're Involved in, and the feedback from the clients. Look at your great suggestions that helped the firm out of a tight corner, look at how you do with urgent works etc. If you're some regular employee whom the office won't bother to question his attempt to resign, you need to work more on your career. You're either not building the right career or building the right career in a wrong way. 5: Professional Popularity This is not easy to achieve on a big scale as a beginner. But there are ways you can look at this from your immediate working environment. What does your employer and colleagues have to say about you vis-a-vis your work? How deft are you at thinking outside the box? Have you been perceived as the future of your profession or even addressed by the names of some big shots in your field? I don't mean people who call you Fawehinmi because you always argue, I mean people who call you that because of your productive inputs. 6: Experience List the professional experience you've had. Almost always, these are not ones that can be found in everybody. People always look at some icing on your cake. A client who is aware that an area has seasoned lawyers in the field of election matters will be super impressed when you're that lawyer who is deft at election matters and also maritime law. 7: Personal Conviction What do you think of yourself and your career? This is important because no matter how good, sound, popular, intelligent and deft you are, there is that inner man that identifies the truth for you, even when the whole world doesn't know it. 13 Likes 1 Share |

http://www.vanguardngr.com/2016/09/ogun-pastor-gets-stuck-shrine-loses-consciousness/ Because you are a pastor, then you went to the territory of those who believe in another thing and damaged their shrine. I like the consequence. If I were the Chief priest, these are what the gods will require the pastor to do to be healed: 1: A traditional dance round the market with bare foot and counters tied round his waist 2: Right before 7 elders of his church, he must declare ogun the true god and slaughter a dog to appease it next Easter 3: He must lead a delegate of 21 traditional worshipers to the next Osun-Osogbo festival 4: On a market day at Abeokuta, he must finish a calabash of sacrifice and down it with local gin. The meal would be: Porridge, boiled egg, palm-oil, coconut, ewa aganin, dog meat, and cowries shell which he shall be made to lick. 5: He would shave his head and have one of dem ifa signs permanently endorsed on his shinning skull 6: Finally, he will be made the ambassador for the emancipation of traditional religion in Ogun. Traditionalists are the most cool. They won't trespass into your churches or mosques. Yet, you will find their trouble. When you talk religion, the synonyms are INTOLERANCE, ENVY, DECEIT, HYPOCRISY, INABILITY TO THINK, DOGMA. Religion has killed literally and figuratively than any other thing in the world. It is what gives your pastors and Imams the gut to preach against premarital sex when they will still sleep with you after the service or sermon. They will preach against adultery and still meet with Mama Ijo at night under the adult tree. If you think lack of education is a bar to good thinking and logic, try religion. The former doesn't let you see, the latter will let you see, but you can't admit it. Someone was to establish the validity of religion, and he was sending me quotes of some scholars about religion. Mental slavery, I retorted. Who is George Bernard Shaw to tell me religion is the way and I'll take it? He's a scholar in his right, and I am in my right... Yeah, that's cocky, but I repeat, I am in my right. In fact, everybody is in his right. If we can read theories of law scholars and jurists and identify flaws, why would you dignify a human element as infallible because of some worldly titles and try shoving his ideas down my throat. When I ask you to establish theories, tell me how religion is indispensable and worth it with facts and proven hypothesis. Make it convincing like the laws of thermodynamics are explained. Don't manipulate me emotionally. Subscribing to the tenets of your religion should not be because of fear of some eternal punishment, threat or emotional talks. It is conviction, and when that is lacking, I'm sorry, I can't go about with what I can't defend. It will be a show of shame. |

| Nairaland General › Did You Sleep With My Wife? by Hidentity(op): 11:05am On Aug 31, 2016 |
There is a piece I have been pushing against writing. I am neither short of how to write it nor have I hit a writer’s block, but somehow, I feel that it should come as a book, not a piece. Alternatively, maybe in parts. When a piece is inspired by the conviction that EVERYBODY IN LAGOS IS MAD, you must know that the account can’t be rendered exhaustively in a piece. But then, I should share this, because this struck me as crazy. About three weeks ago, I was at the High Court of Ikeja. After the business at the Court, I proceeded to one of the canteens in the Court premise to have my lunch. In less than 3 minutes after my order, a man walked in. Very sane looking, composed, and interestingly, he didn’t appear like someone who strayed into the canteen, he was treated with due respect and even addressed like an officer of the Court. He turned back, our gazes met, he looked so shocked and stunned at something unknown to me or anybody at the scene. Immediately, I looked back to be sure I was not missing out on something. But gradually, his amusement dwindled, he placed his order and sat very close to my table (not the same table) but he was directly facing me. Then the drama started- he would take a mouthful, look at me critically, sigh and then continue. When he repeated the same habit like 7 times, I started having my concern. As If he knew I was getting uncomfortable and needed an explanation, he called my attention ‘officially’ and asked “Did you sleep with my wife?” “Sir”, I let out without having the intention to do so as I turned my ear to him to be sure of the question. Without hesitation, he repeated, but in a modified language “Are you the father of my 3 years old boy”? I looked around, I wanted to be sure I was still in the land of humans, those of sound body and mind at that, and yes, I was. It was still the Lagos High Court, Ikeja premise. I forced a smile from my throat, he didn’t look less serious all the while, but I needed that smile to sway his mind about what was going on my mind (nothing was though). “I can’t say he looks like you, he is you-the head, face, lips, skin colour”. “Did you sleep with my wife…” “No Sir, I don’t know her”, I interjected and walked out. Today, 30.08.2016, I was at the Court premise again. Around 9 in the morning, it was drizzling, so I went to the same canteen, not to eat but to hide from the rain. Then in less than 5 minutes, a short dark man in his late forties entered. He was met with greetings and what was a sane conversation about work by another man I met in the canteen. He proceeded to sit, and behold, it was him again, he sat at the same spot he sat the other day, while it dawned on me that I was on the same seat I sat on our first encounter. He dragged his chair close to his table and looked up, then he sighted me and fixed his gaze. I didn’t look away, and he did not for like a minute. Then he started again “How will my son just look like you! It is too much; this is not ordinary”. I didn’t say a word. It was no longer funny, I only needed to project his thought pattern and think like him at that point. It is a safety approach; you think like the challenger sometimes. He continued in his fashion of “did you sleep with my wife?”, “you’re the father of my son" for like 2 minutes. When I appeared unbothered, unentertained or threatened, he kept shut and was giving me a suspicious and resentful look. Then, he stood up, told someone he will be back, and guess what? I ran away. Nigeria is now different, only God knows I have no idea of what he was talking about, if he returns with a gun, a bullet knows no innocent man, and I don’t want to die for nothing. Staying there is like a qualified driver driving on the highway and thinking “Since I drive with sanity, there is no threat of accident”. Trust me, for every sane man in Lagos, there are about five hundred and twenty something mad men. For those who will ask "why did you run?" when you find yourself in such circumstance, please order for a bottle of coke and relax right there, you'll be offered a straw at the emergency unit of a general hospital. NOTE: I was told that I ought to make a request to see the pictures of the wife and the son, but to me, that is taking oneself into the lion's den, and an implied way of saying: Okay, I’ve slept with people’s wives, but let me see your wife, maybe she is one of them. 3 Likes |

I was at the Land Registry, Alausa Ikeja for over 4 hours yesterday. I was there on an official basis. After about 2 hours, I started feeling like using the toilet (to urinate), but i kept holding it, hoping i would return to the office soon. When it dawned on me that i would be there for additional hours, i went to the toilet facility towards the search room, but all were locked. I went out, headed for the gate and told a security guy my plight, he directed me to a woman sitting beside a small building. I approached her and she said: Ito (urine) na #30. Even if it were #100 to use the public toilet, I would pay. I dipped my hand in my pocket and all I had were #1,000 notes. She retorted, Ko si senji o (no change). I paused, looked into her eyes to seek for the humane part of her. I was pressed and I was willing to pay, but no change. But she turned her head and ignored me. I left, crossed the road to another complex and walked towards another toilet facility, only to be stopped by another woman: #30 ni owo ito (#30 is to be paid for urinating). I will pay, I said with every sense of reassurance and she demanded that I pay first. I brought out a #1000 note and she was like: E pada, ko si change (go back, no change). I sighed, but what is her business? As long as my sigh took no food to her table, it was my plight, she had the right and if I like, I could die. I walked away... Looking around desperately for somewhere to 'do it' but it was at Alausa secretariat, no hidden place. I walked into a garden and was about to zip down when I saw: DO NOT URINATE HERE PLEASE boldly written on a board attached to a tree. I am still one of those Nigerians swayed by admonishment and civil warnings or pleas. I turned back- looking around desperately for a way out... Then i walked further into the garden and saw a toilet facility ahead. I rushed down, met two men and a lady. Please, i want to ease myself, I said. '#50 ni', the lady responded. 'But i have #1000', I explained. 'Any other denomination apart from #1000?', she asked. 'No', I replied trying to bring out the notes in my pocket to establish my claim. She interjected: 'No need', and then she directed me to the toilet where i did it for FREE. I came out and thanked her. But then, what of Ayuba caught by KAI because he could not hold it like i did? He will be arraigned for an environmental offence and punished for just being human? What of the Ngozi I saw locked up in the bus because she couldn't afford #50 to urinate and she did it in a place the government forbids? She will be locked up overnight and arraigned tomorrow? Then the learned in law will question the work of nature? What of Danladi who would have baptized those flowers in the garden with torrents of urine because the inscription: DO NOT URINATE HERE PLEASE can't stop his discomfort? Then I realized the reason people break the law- Laws are sometimes made by humans without a place for humanity. 2 Likes |

ABDULLAHI'S ACCOUNT IN HIS OWN WORDS A good day to everybody I will like to commence by saying that thanks ouch for what you have done for me as in he gave me three clothes and one trouser but he didn't set out to help me with good intention and he hasn't done anything for me so far however it is a shame that we very much had different I dea of the path for my life although he has not offered me a job for two month and one week whenever I needs money I will have to beg my mumy to give me money and therefore he hasn't enrolled me into open university if it is truth let keep to investigation therefore am not in the infant stage of my lifetime and everything is not all rosey the month that I have been with ouch I have had to wait for someone else to give me money to eat money to shuffle around and even wait for other people to give me clothes to put-on how can I call myself a man and look at myself in the mirror when I know that there is something I can do using the two hands that God gave me to keep myself out of hunger I left Abeokuta becouse the training that I was supposed to start was in Lagos and no money to commute it wasn't that I did not want the place it just did not up to the location plans they were put I know there is no such thing in success and fame is not guaranteed so I wanted to make sure my education is super important to me I have read about my fellow people who have had rags or bread to riches stories and I want to make sure that my life stay my own and Mr sink thank you for highlighting the street hustle. ABDULLAHI is keenly following this. He will be ready to shed light on issues raised and read. 2 Likes |
