Iamdbull:
So a couple of weeks ago I wrote here https://www.nairaland.com/6550677/environment-draining-me-psychologically on nairaland about how my environment was draining me psychologically. Then I decided to take myself (the bull) by the horn and risk it all to get an apartment. Luckily I got one on the island lekki to be precise and everything was half a million, I had to part with my savings and get the apartment.

The house had electricity issue so I was advised not to move in immediately but trust me seeing the beauty and positivity in my new environment I decided to move in immediately. I was so excited until it was time to sleep, it was as if mosquitoes were having their world carnival, never witnessed so much mosquitoes in my life, it was then that it occurred to me that the island being a riverine area, Is a den of all species of quitos.

Fast forward to when I visited the gym because I see the gym as a place for quick socializing in a new environment. Boom I entered the gym and I got the shock of my life, it was as if I landed mysteriously in the giant land, I used to think I was huge and muscular until I got to this gym and I was looking like a toothpick among the hundreds of people their. As I was observing this and also observing the most spotless and cleanest babes have ever encountered in my life , I didn't know I was about to face one of the biggest embarrassment of my life. I descended upon the automatic threadmill which have never used in my life. Due the fact that I was among beautiful ladies I didn't want to look like jjc so I didn't ask for help on how to use the machine, that's how I roughly pressed some figures on the threadmill not knowing I put it on the highest. That's how it started spinning like usain bolt was running hundred meters Olympics. Gbiim!!! Na so I fall yakata ooo. Come see laughter for gym. I come be like Sanyeri or Mr ibu goes to gym chai. Na so shame make me swallow pride ooo.

Another beautiful experience was when a record label boss invited me to his label house in VGC. What I saw was a delight to the nudity of my eyes. What really wowed me was when I wanted to enter their street, the man sent me a pin and I wondered what it was for until I saw the gate and it had a system you need to press pin inside. Na wa oooh chaiii see life.

I visited Alot of exotic places got some nice clothes so as to change my ijebu looks to the modern Lagos looks. This seems to be an expensive lifestyle and it's putting a hole in my finances but for the first time in a while as an ijebu man I didn't feel bad about spending my hard earned money. We can die anytime and what's the essence of having a bulging account without having access to the sweetest things life has to offer.


In conclusion the steps I took just justified the popular saying that there is a thing line between being Genius and being STUPID!!!. I left a promising job as a graphics designer (I still work as a freelancer with a couple of companies and individuals) with a large chunk of savings that could have been used for other investments, to pursue a music career. But then I won't forgive myself if I lived a normal comfortable life and then I die only to realize my music could have been a blessing to millions of souls on planet Earth and I could have touched lives everywhere.

All I have to say is life has not gotten any longer infact if it has gotten anything it will be shorter due to the insecurities all over. My advice is to make every moment count and enjoy it while we can.


Have a beautiful week ahead.

You still do music? Can we connect? I sing too

i don't know i don't understand hausa, he motioned binding me with his hands and tying me up, i was scared, it is a pretty quiet place and knowing the babaric nature of man thru the Aluu 4 incident, i decided not to take chances, i just felt like he didn't want me there and the fact that david wasn't giving me any reassurance of my safety, i had to leave

I like your spirit! Will like to meet you in person

Nigerian Institute Public Relations, that's one of the best professional Institute you can join. It opens you up for both private and public employment.

How can one join this institution? Is it for just a certification program or does entail membership?

I saw this cleaner job vacancy at old English bakery at GRA,Ikeja,Lagos after months of job hunting.Due to unavailability of one's preferred kind of job,I like hotel jobs a lot,I decided to submit my CV to one of the bakery security man.

It is hard to get a hotel job at GRA Ikeja despite the big and many hotels located there though.Man know man things.

I was called to come for an interview at their head office in omole phase 1.

I attended the interview.But the salary is manageable being that I am a single man without even a girlfriend.Early 30's.But the resumption time was shocking.I would resume by 6.30am and closes by 10pm for #25k!

Which kind cleaning work be that?And the bakery is own by a Nigerian.No break or free lunch.

My mind told me there were other tasks I would be doing apart from cleaning because no cleaner would work till that time.

So has anyone who have worked there before knows the job description in old english bakery?

If you want to get hotel work easily go through agents, you have to register with money though, like 2,3k or there about and you will share your first month salary with them .Most of them trust agents than doing direct recruitment, hence they tend to outsource it, unless an insider is bringing you. I would have advised you go for the cleaning job first from there you can venture into other departments that you like, but the timing is not good at all!

Nah Overhype kill Goliath..

Israel is not in same league with USA..

Israel is a tool USA is using. That’s why media always favor Israel. It’s all media propaganda.

Let Israel misbehave to USA then you’ll see as things go change for Israel within a blink..

He gave facts! Where is yours?

meobizy:
If he was commended online, he won’t see the wrong in the action. He’s apologizing because people didn’t condone it.

For setting a child on fire, that Lady deserves more slaps? even-though his act was unprofessional. This man has been saving lives for ages! He is a humanitarian, no body talked about his good works. Just this singular mistake is circulating!

Nbote:
He's been changing lives and doing far more than the govt for Nigerians for years and no one recognises his efforts and den one deserving slap and he's being dragged all over by a people that believe in jungle justice

That is Life for you!

Lol.The guy na fine boy? Or he is just good with women?

Ejaisky:
I didn't ask him. When I knew him was already a lawyer. Like I mentioned earlier he is late now. He had his first degree in the early eighties.

Ok thanks

Ejaisky:
I don't think there is age limit because I have seen matured people going back to study law. He was still young when he went for law.

Like how many years was he?

Ejaisky:
I know someone who read a technical course and taught in school for ten years and retired voluntarily and was getting pension. He went back to school to study law and that was he practised until he passed recently.

Does it mean that law has no age limit? You practice anytime?

SmartMugu:
Thats a rewarding area too, its just not my line of work. But you can easily freelance if you master it and get creative with it.
Goodluck bro.

Thanks

SmartMugu:
I dont know how working remote from Nigeria really works. I guess most into it are freelancers. But I've been working remotely for over 6 years now and never had any reasons to go to any office.

Sometimes, while I'm in Nigeria I can still work remotely for the parent US firms I work for, and many folks I know here in the IT line are currently working from Nigeria and still get paid in USD. What's the point asking techy guys to come to the office? Thats outdated in this clime, especially with covid fright everywhere.

I think it all starts with choosing a niche within the IT space, for me. I focused on Cybersecurity. Mastered as many areas as I could and got certifications upon certifications added to my bachelor's and master's degrees and let my resume do the talking. It will work same way for anyone, just differentiate yourself from the rest.

You'll be surprised with how many calls for jobs you will get from all around the world and pick which ones u want to mess with. Some firms are even in dire needs of the strengths and smartness in most of us Nigerians and won't even mind relocating you and your family closer to them, as long as you've proven your worth to them.

I dont know if it depends on the companies you have worked for in the past though. For me, all my experiences are for US based firms, none at all in Nigeria. But if you can manage to get yourself into some of the major consulting firms with presence around the globe, like Delloitte, KPMG, E&Y, Accenture, Infosys etc, you're good. Thats how I started my consulting career and later decided to contract for firms than working directly for them as a FTE.

Even in cases where your physical presence is needed, these firms will be responsible to get you there, wherever it is in the world. Got tired of that.I prefer those that are entirely remote since I contract now and have decided to cut down on travels.

So, around IT, you can't be wrong with areas like Cybersecurity, Business Intelligence, Data Analysis, Machine learning, Software Engineering /Design, Cloud Computing/Networking/Security etc. There's a huge array of lines for those in other IT areas like programming,, web designs, digital marketing etc.. im just talking about the areas Im familiar with.

Dont jump around, just stick with one area and carve a career around it. Its a common mistake for many to want to include as many unrelated skills on their resume, its wrong. Your resume should tell your audience a story about you, not get them confused about who you really are. Don't let them feel you were a farmer last year, a plumber last month and a tailor today. Choose where ur strengths are and focus on improving on it, highlight your strengths on your resume, then make your resume your tool. One of these areas can keep you employed from your home right there in Nigeria with firms from around the world.

My 2 cents. Goodluck all.

What of graphics designs

Capslock01:
Please don't invest in any of those certificate!
They'll amount to waste of money.

I have HSE certifications but it's practically useless.

Invest your time and money in Tech.

Learn Programming, UI/UX, Designs (Graphics or Engineering), Video editing or Animation and you'll be happy you do.

Do you mean graphics design

NACE13:
I had one back in the university. She's a makeup artist. She's bigger than I am financially. She charges up to 40k for outside jobs back then, and she gets wedding gigs every weekend. She has more than 10 students she's teaching and her fee is 70k per head. She just get money scatter.

Sometimes I look at myself and smile. I tamed her and she was at my beck and call. But I never demanded money from her for once, I get too much pride. Though she helped me with some job connections.

Do you want to tell how you tamed her despite being richer than you?We want to learn
