MrJavaS:
Good Day to you all.

I am a young man of 19.I am a 100L student.I had lots of negative experiences with many people.I was stabbed in the back by many people I really trusted.To summarise,I had toxic and fair weather but very few friends.

Due to all of the above,I became a recluse and a full blown introvert.I really enjoyed being alone and often wondered why some people needed constant social stimulation.I enjoy socializing in small doses.But overall I'm cynical and a have a cold demeanor.

Now I'm a university student.We just completed our first semester a few months ago.Throughout the previous semester,I'm a triangular student.I rarely talk to anyone and ignore many of my course mates.However.....i became acquainted with many reliable sources of knowledge including the 48 laws of power that "Isolation is dangerous" .

I know I need to make friends but I just can't seem to have the "everyone is my friend" personality.Most people think I am proud of myself.However I believe being selective about friends isn't a sign of arrogance.

I also don't want to seem too desperate and needy to make a friend.I don't like someone who has wholeheartedly embraced mediocrity.I also want a first class.I need advice from you all.

I'm really disturbed,I work very hard for my grades without any assistance.I'm pretty OK being on my own.But we humans are social creatures.

I'll appreciate if this is moved to front page.

Hello MrJavaS,

You need to be "open" to everyone but choose your friends properly. Yes, you are right about not allowing mediocres into your life, but then you need associate with various people to understand life better and develop your EQ. If you continue like this, you would face difficulties passing assessment centre exercises of various companies because by then, you would have developed:

- Stage fright in the midst of people.
- Unnecessary unfriendliness.
- Not able to converse well with people from different walks of life.
- Come across as being arrogant by persons. Perception plays a great role in human relationships.

...and many others.

You are done with 100L, focus squarely on the remaining years and strive to graduate with a first class - which is possible irrespective of the school or department. While you might become the cynosure of all eyes when you perform well, be wary of hangovers and people who can implicate you especially during tests/examinations.

I got an offer from kpmg and recently got a scholarship to study in Britain 4 msc, i am a acca holder, what should i do?

Hello Kes4glory,

Congrats on your offer from both organisations.

However, certain questions will need answers. The school you intend pursuing your MSc, is it in the top ten in the UK (ARWU, QS & THE rankings)? What discipline are you pursuing? Your years of experience? Your future plans? Do you intend relocating from Nigeria sometime in the future? The probability of getting a job after studies is tough anywhere, let alone in a country where students are expected to return to their various countries immediately they are done with studies.

On the other hand, you have an ACCA and an offer from one of the Big4. Is it entry level or experienced? Whatever the position, is there anything more you can ask for? What is needed of you is to think over the situation and ask yourself: Where do I want to be in 3 -5 years time from now? What do I intend doing?

But note: Admission can come later, the job; however, cannot wait for long.

These articles might further aid your decision making process:

NNPC or Big4 firm?

Dangote Cement or Ajaokuta Steel?

PwC or Major power firm?


Best of wishes in your decision making.

Charles Kie: Profile of the Ivorian in Nigeria's banking industry

The CEO of Ecobank Nigeria, Ivorian Mr. Charles Kie, has resigned his appointment.

A press release by the Bank today reads:

Ecobank Transnational Incorporated, ETI, the Lome-based parent company of the Ecobank Group, today announced that Mr. Charles Kie has formally indicated his intention to leave the Group and consequently his role as Managing Director of Ecobank Nigeria Limited.

Prior to his current role at Ecobank Nigeria, Mr. Kie was the Group Executive, Corporate and Investment Bank for Ecobank Transnational Incorporated (ETI), responsible for leading the Ecobank Group’s Corporate and Investment Banking business across the global network of 40 countries, 36 of which are in Africa. He joined Ecobank in October 2011 as Chief Operating Officer of the then Ecobank Capital, and was subsequently appointed the Head of the Group’s Corporate Banking business.

Before joining the Ecobank Group, between 2008-2011, Mr. Kie was Group CEO of Groupe Banque Atlantique, based in Togo and then Cote d’Ivoire. Mr. Kie also had a successful career with Citibank between 1997 and 2008, rising to the position of CEO of Citigroup West Africa between 2004 and 2008.

The Group’s Chief Executive Officer, Mr Ade Ayeyemi, said: “As Charles prepares to leave the Ecobank Group, I would like to thank him for his immense contributions to the Group. He has certainly laid a strong foundation at Ecobank Nigeria and we wish him well in his future endeavours.”

Mr Kie said: “I am proud of what the team and I have achieved together, and I thank them for the good work and their unwavering commitment to Ecobank. I also extend my sincere appreciation to the Board. Despite some of the market challenges that we faced over the years, our customers have always been loyal, and it is their patronage that makes the future brighter.” The Chairman of the Board of Ecobank Nigeria, Mr John Aboh, also congratulated Mr Kie for the good work he and his team has achieved, and said he looked forward to the Bank sustaining and improving on this.

The Board will immediately activate the process of selecting a successor. The successful candidate will be announced before the end of August. Mr Kie will continue to manage Ecobank Nigeria through the transition period to ensure a smooth handover to his successor.

Thanks for the tips, it was very helpful. Sorry I didn’t contact you after the interview as my phone was stolen, so I was offline since then. Thank you and Best Regards.”
