I left Nigeria as a teenager with O/L, A/L and two years of university education from UI. It was easy to work as a kitchen porter, cleaner and warehouse worker because I had no inhibition to dirty and hard work, and I was young, ambitious and educated. I shared a room with my younger brother and had no overhead except sending money to my mother and grandmother in Nigeria.

The situation in Western Europe is quite different; the cost of living is very high, their economies could be doing better, and your income will struggle to sustain a family even as a professional.

I will only advise educated single people under the age of 35 to Japa.

Plz hw can i get paid in nairaland

I got a message in my DM yesterday morning, and the question goes thus, “Lavy, how do I invest 500k?”

I will advise splitting it into low-risk, medium risk and high-risk.

- Put 100k in low-yield interest accounts like (Piggyvest, Optimus, Ladda, Cowrywise etc.)

- Put 100k in stocks (Local and Foreign)
You can split it 50/50 between Local and Foreign stocks.

You can use apps like Bamboo, Trove for Foreign stocks and then split the 50k further (80% goes into ETFs, e.g. VOO, VTI etc., then 20% into individual stocks like Apple, Microsoft etc.)

You can use apps like Optimus and Trove for Local stocks (consider buying stocks like MTN, Dangote, Nestle etc.)

- Put 150k in Real Estate
With 20k, you can co-own lands with cuddle realty. That means your 150k will get you about seven units of the land.

-Put 150k in Crypto
Consider buying small coins.

If you want to start investing in stocks, I have a course already made for you that shows you step-by-step how to get started.

You can also do the same for a higher amount.

If you have any questions, do not hesitate to ask

Things to keep in mind for a counter offer?

1. Identify what you want: Your reason for accepting the offer must be clear: Are you for work flexibility, higher pay, bonus, career growth, quality of work etc. You must be able to weigh your options if not you will succumb once temporary benefits are flashed before you. Understand the act of negotiaton.

2. Never play dirty: The idea of playing smart and playing both parties might eventually not favor you. If you are not ready to accept an offer, kindly be vocal about this from the get go. do not raise #HR hope when you know fully that you are not leaving your current place of work.

3. Take your time: Well most times you might not have all the time during a counter offer. I will say it is best to weigh the options with your inner circle. Don't rush the process. Take your time to really identify all facts and details that you need.

4. What else after Salary: You need to check the benefits that are included. also discuss net during this conversation. What are the benefits the parties involved are willing to offer.

5. Your Tone: During a counter offer, you need to always stay calm. it is easy to believe the other party is selfish because they refuse to yield to your offer. Emotions can play here and there however you need to stay focused. Never allow disrespect set in during a counter offer.

Don't be greedy
Don't be afraid
Don't be too emotional
Don't destroy relationship
Don't be confused
Don't be swayed by short term benefits

Avoid believing that counter offer are traps set by organization. I wish you the best

Pls learn to read and digest properly!! Are u saying u agree that someone could travel from Ikeja to Ajah and be stuck in traffic for over 6hrs

unmask:
All the other states, don't have the population that Lagos has or the vehicular traffic.

We need to be honest in our assessment

No other state faces the population crises that Lagos faces. Based on its size and number of vehicles, there is considerable strain on infrastructure.

Can things be done better? Definitely.

It's a pity

Sometimes I wonder why all these big multinationals can't do what other smaller companies are doing to survive

See smaller brands like waw,viva, good mama,unik bathing soap, hawaii soap, Eva soap are all cashing out and making huge sales in this bad economy nah him Unilever dey phase out some household products. Nah wa

These big companies should better stop paying all these their staffs fat salaries for doing nothing

They should divert those monies to marketing. They should recruit boys and girls on the street and use them to do aggressive marketing. Can't they learn from the way waw they do street marketing.

Need explanations?
All offer letters have their conditions of employment stated.
Simply list the most important things you want from your employer.
All you can do is come to a compromise.

If one can afford it, send your ward to private universities. Especially babcock or covenant. Such activity is reduced there as students are not allowed to leave the campus without consent from the parents.
