read and understand I said "what if" probability.

Your thought process is/was already inclined to that angle Mr

What if scenarios would have considered all characteristics good or bad before arriving at a decision
You clearly considered the negatives and your reluctance was evidently as a result of that

GenoMI:
Wow! Thanks and thanks again - you have definitely put a lot of thought into this. I would absolutely love to give career advice and help with CV's and interview preparation as well, in fact that was one of the things I mentioned in my initial post on this thread.

What do you think would be the best way to go about this? Giving one-to-one assistance over the net or organising small events where I can meet up with say 10 people at a time? I may also be able to get some experienced friends and colleagues to help out...

I will also start looking for and giving out training that will specifically help people become more employable..as usual, I will provide the house feedback on my progress

You’re very much welcome

1-2-1 assistance is good but for how long since it will have a knock on effect on time resource
I like the idea of group events as people will be able to share experience and knowledge as well as network at these events. That’s certainly a plus
I personally think you had hit a home run if you can get people (friends/colleagues) to mentor the applicants. I’m happy to sign up for the mentorship IF needed

Just to add, you can engage Jarus of jarushub to tap from his knoweldge/expertise on career advisory.

Am scared of the idea of stucking with one woman for eternity,forever, for the rest of my life.

and we all know a woman will never show Her true colour until she is in, what if she Is a nagging woman am I going to live with that for eternity,forever, for the rest of my life? Am sure that man won't hit 50years.


Am scared!!!!!!

It's no big deal that you have a commitment phobia
It's a big deal for you to conclude all women nag as that's a very wrong assertion.

If the benefits of marriage isn't your cup of tea then please stay single as it's a free world at the end of the day

There are various ways of having fun, you must not like all.

Oh yes, sorry I forgot to address that question - the honest truth is that measuring the success of the model in terms of direct impact on careers and businesses will not be an easy feat because it will largely boil down to the individual beneficiaries. What I mean by this is that it is left to beneficiaries to put the knowledge they gain into good use - there is no direct way for me to measure this.

I knew it was never going to be an easy feat hence why I wanted you to re-evaluate your approach in reaching the desired outcome.
Addressing the availability and accessibility of training is very good since there is a visible gap that ought to be closed via initiatives such as yours. My worry is that it wouldn’t necessarily go far enough in reaching your initial goals except you can link the vocational training with the other plans you’re currently designing

GenoMI:
What I can actually measure (for now) is the number of people who have received training through the initiative - I will also keep open lines of communication with beneficiaries and follow their progress as much as I can. In less than one week of the site going live, I have already connected with a few young people asking for my thoughts on their businesses, while others have just applied to get a free course - there is a key difference between these 2 groups of people. I will definitely be keeping up with the people who reach out to me directly and hopefully even play more of a role in helping them achieve their goals. And as things pick up and get bigger, more people will come on board to help out as well as bring their own ideas on board as to how to make things better.

If you have any other ideas you think I should be considering, please feel free to tell me. Thanks a lot for your help, I appreciate it.

Success with these sort of initiatives won’t necessarily be complete without the recipients gainfully employed and being productive.

How about you include career advice and coaching on how to write CV’s as well as interview techniques into your end-to-end process?

You can also focus the training on skills that can bridge employment Gap in Nigeria

Well done though. I like your positive spirit/energy.. We definitely need more people like you to move this nation forward

GenoMI:
Hi @jaybee3, thanks for your contribution. I am definitely not in a position to implement (2) and (3) - that is one of I will leave for the banks

As for (1), my dream is to set us FREE E-Learning centres around the country where young people can walk in, book a slot of 1 or 2 hours and have access to state of the art technology and e-learning facilities that will cover business, professional and vocational skills.

How would you measure success of the model?

prettyrosiemua:
Seriously? Instead of us to vote for someone who has little understanding we should settle for one who has none? It doesn't make a sense.

The one with little understanding has more leadership qualities specifically around delegation and impeccable ability to recruit the best brains irrespective of gender and/or ethnicity.

if 25% you want in all the state,you will surely get them.


75% gej to 2019.

See common sense

Absolutely nothing to worry about. It's not uncommon to find mothers finding it hard to adjust to the situation where their opinion becomes secondary with respect to their son's immediate family.

I'm yoruba and the only son, my wife who is also yoruba struggles to cope whenever my mum comes visiting. My mum is used to having 3-4 maids at any given time so as expected she is stuck in that world and offcourse that's a potential problem since my wife can't possibly split herself into 4 places in order to carry out all requests at the same time.

She initially felt my mum didn't like her until i made her understand it's what she has been used to all her life and somewhat difficult for us to expect her to adjust.
We solved the conundrum by making sure her visits are extremely short as well as my wife being flexible with her approach whilst being understanding.

You just have to be diplomatic in dealing with her since you don't necessarily have to like her nor have to live with her permanently.
Express your feelings to your husband without making it seem you are consistently complaining about his mum.

TI1919:
I will vote GEJ for this reason

16,000 sir.Things az bin so rough 4 us sir since lastyear sir.

That's barely 12% of the total debt.
How do you guys intend to fund next year's rent?

Do you guys work?

Nice initiative but how would you measure success?
It's always good to empower people with knowledge but it's almost useless when there reallyisn't an enabling environment.
I personally think you could set acheive a better result with the following business model:
1) Set up a vocational training facilities and have applicants enrol on them free of charge
2) Provide soft loans and incentives for people with established small business
3) Provide financial buffers for those struggling to actualise their ideas

The election isn't a beauty contest so what exactly is your point Mr?

What's the financial implication of the move?
I'm specifically interested in knowing if you are having to pay through your nose to afford the short term comfort/independence

How much do you guys have from the outstanding 144K?

It's stupidity of the highest order to go into such union with so much uncertainties surrounding their finances.
Marriages are meant to be built around solid foundations so couples can adequately [b]plan [/b]for the future

Too late to postpone it so ain't nothing to worry about

Something one Fedora hat wearing man would never do.

He would have denied the incident never happened or blame it on the opposition

Do you realise "Yr" is an abbreviation for year?
What's the point in abbreviating You're?

"By casting your ballot, you can help secure your nation's progress". Any contrary ideas?

Democratic progress
A free and fair election coupled with no post election violence is tantamount to democratic progress.

pinkycute:
Nothing much am just out of cash that's it.....

As in you aren't desperate for the cash since you don't necessarily have something in mind to use it for?

SirShymexx:
I'm a black man in the UK (born and raised). So, it's a ritual you must go through at least once, especially if you're from London. It's normal.

I haven't hehehhehehe

You made a very valid point though. He would have been arrested or turned back at the airport if his name had been flagged as wanted

Am on that now

I believe my God will understand

"Industry experts describe the latter, in which billions of dollars in crude exports are exchanged for refined fuel imports without money changing hands, as the real “Bermuda Triangle”."

[color=maroon]No. Voting is a personal choice.
That is why one can only vote at a legal age of 18.[/color]

If you are married and have kids then it ought to be combined choice.

The singular decision by a family in saner climes usually have ripple effects on important factors such as:
Finance
Child care
Family life

What the family ought to do is make a joint choice after reviewing each party's manifesto and deciding on the party with best policies that will meet their family needs
