Men! I'm getting old o. I can't remember jack, lol.

I wrote this shortly after the presidential elections in Nigeria. But it's still as poignant as ever.

Disclaimer: I will post this note in 2 parts. I am in no way taking sides or justifying the current unrest going on in the North. My aim is to foster a better understanding of a people I honestly believe are grossly misunderstood and misrepresented and to put things in perspective. I implore everyone who will reads this to be open minded and civil in their comments and arguments.

In Zainab Magaji’s response to a comment posted by a friend in her note titled ‘Our Pendulum’ on Facebook, she asserted and I quote ‘…I am however forced to acknowledge the fact now, especially from the events of these last two days that maybe that Nigeria I am talking about actually only exists in my imagination. Our leaders have so dealt with us psychologically that we have sharply been divided along very sentimental lines. … the hatred, sensationalism, disrespect and senseless arguments I have read these last two days have made me see the truth. The truth is that nigeria as a united house only exists in our imagination. Our leaders have achieved their aim. They have put a permanent wedge between us...I am really saddened by my new discovery. Nigeria isn't what we all think. The dreams of our political elite have finally come true. We have been divided in thoughts and, by what we witnessed on saturday, in actions too. We don't exist as a nation. We only think we do’.

I was saddened that she had gotten to the point where she could think that. But then, I understood. Recently, I’ve experienced terrible mood swings, emotions ranging from euphoria to apathy, from despair to anger; for the most part, it was due to the elections, our future as a nation and the unimaginable hatred, ignorance and tribal nonsense that has spewed from the mouths of people who I perceived to be intelligent and mature. Friends threatening to ‘unfriend’ themselves on facebook and other social networking sites over arguments about political parties and candidates.

I really do not like to talk politics and everything related but I decided to after I saw a friend’s status yesterday. He said ‘In naija, being a northerner is like being a jew in Europe... everybody else hates you... and they don't even know what they hate... just stereotyping and paranoia...’

Again, I completely understand his pain. I have seen and heard people talk about the North the way the West talks about our Continent. Africa, they call it, as though it is one country. Currently our continent is blessed with fifty three independent nations and not all of them are doing badly, are dying of HIV and have dictators who compare themselves to The Queen and refuse to cede power. Yet they talk about Aid for Africa, saving the starving children in Africa, donations to build houses in Africa, saving child soldiers in Africa. When they eventually visit ‘Africa’, they are surprised we have electricity, tarred roads, buildings made of brick and corrugated roofing sheets. They are surprised to see us wearing clothes and speaking English and not living in tree houses eating banana and starting fires by striking stones. Forgive my exaggeration but it’s a misrepresentation that has been allowed to become a perception and as it is now, a reality for the millions of westerners who may never get the chance to visit and see for themselves that what we have been portrayed to be by Western Media is not at all who we are.

In the same vein, I see people talk about ‘all these northerners killing people’, ‘blood thirsty northerners’; ‘illiterate hausa’s who cannot give peace a chance and co-exist with their neighbours’. I see a similar situation with the scenario I just described above. More often than not, the media and other people who make these assertions, have never stepped foot in the North, have rarely ever met anyone from the North, assume everyone in the North speaks Hausa and are so paranoid they think if they ever make it down there, they’ll be chopped like cow meat and their heads hung on a stick before they have a chance to say ‘Sannu’.
So I ask the question: Who is the North?

Pause and see if you can attempt an answer to this question then compare your thoughts to what you’ll read below.

Flash back. You’re in Primary 6 and I’m your Social Studies teacher.

Nigeria is broken into six geo-political zones: North-Central, North-Eastern, North-Western, South-Eastern, South-South, and South-Western. The North therefore is all the states within the North-Central, North-Eastern, North-Western parts of the country. These three geo-political zones have a total of nineteen out of Nigeria’s thirty six states between them. In all, there are one hundred and nine major ethnic groups in these states; out of all nineteen, the Hausa-Fulani constitute a majority in only five of them. As an example, forty seven percent of the entire population in Adamawa which is considered a Hausa/Fulani/Kanuri stronghold are Christians, belong to ethnic groups different from the three I mentioned above and speak their own language. You’ll find the same mix in fourteen of the nineteen states in the North with some states having as many as twenty major ethnic groups apart from Hausa and Fulani.

I believe these facts are important because they’ll help us thoroughly understand the complex web of relationships called Northern Nigeria. When you say the North, I want you to bear in mind that it goes beyond Hausa, Fulani and Muslim.

Beyond the media coverage, online discourse and perceptions we have built over the years, there’s a question that begs an answer: How did we get here? How did we arrive at the point where bombings have become a part of the equation? Why do we spill blood at the slightest provocation especially when the personality of the average northerner points otherwise?

You see, the average northerner is laidback and easygoing. He can be resistant to change and have the tendency to stick to the familiar. He is easy to please and to a large extent, gullible. This gullibility stems from the high level of illiteracy and impoverishment and a lack of opportunity and empowerment that has characterized his existence for decades. His tendency to be easily influenced, deceived or manipulated has been capitalised on by religious figures and the political elite who have systemically and continually bled him dry. Sadly, there has been an unspoken acquiescence by him for that travesty to continue. Different interpretations have been given to the Holy Scriptures and the Law and he has gone ahead to kill and maim for the love of God and Country without questioning those who goad him on. Then he began to ask questions. The flagrant abuse of power and lavish display of wealth by the ruling elite gradually sowed a seed of discontent and anger. The direct consequence of the impoverishment, suppression and illiteracy of the average northerner, coupled with mutual suspicion is the harvest we all are reaping today.

Even though it is arguable, I see the current unrest in the north as more of a socio-economic problem thana religious one. It’s a complete failure of governance, a conscious, deliberate and blatant rape of the ruled by those who rule. Religion has always been a handy scapegoat. Muslim kills Christian. Christian kills Muslim. It’s not that cut and dried. If the young man has a job to look forward to everyday and can live with some dignity as a human being he will pick up arms with reluctance.

Sadly, the youth have imploded. They vent their anger on one another because like it or leave it, your neighbour is the representation of the government you cannot feel or access. Does this justify the current restiveness and wanton destruction of lives and property in the North? Absolutely not! I do not subscribe to violence as a solution to conflict. I see violence as an immature, selfish and insensitive way to make a point or get attention, much the same way a child throws tantrums because he wants something, but in this case, the tantrum is directed at his friend instead of his mother.

Are they the only ones who have been suppressed?

Why is their first instinct to maim and kill?

Why are they so fanatical and narrow-minded, wanting to have their way all the time?

You want to know the truth?

I do not have the answer. I’m as baffled as you are. I also have questions. I want to understand. Nothing can ever justify the senseless bombings, the maiming of children and women, the hacking of neighbours by neighbours, the burning of houses and public property, the tension and distrust and its attendant psychological implication.

But one thing I do know is this, there are people on both sides of the religious divide who are as clueless as you are as to what the recurrent fights are about, who run for safety when their own people go on rampage, who provide shelter for those trapped in between irrespective of who they pray to, who are as taken aback as the rest of us by what their own people have metamorphosed into, who bury their heads in shame and disgust over what their brothers have done. A few misguided fellows have given us all a bad name and it’s just plain unfortunate.

Like a friend of mine said, no ethnicity has a monopoly of madmen. There will always be extremists where there is conviction and a strong belief in anything. There will always be those who capitalise on the just discontentment of others and milk it to their own advantage. There is only so much anyone can take when pushed beyond their threshold. The Niger-deltans kidnap, the Tivs killed soldiers in Zakibiam, the jos fight has been speculated to revolve around the settler-indigene problem, Rev king was a Christian or claimed to be, yet he set his own member ablaze, the Boko Haram sect invaded a prison and released their members who were being held captive, A Man U fan ran into a crowd of Arsenal supporters leaving many dead and others seriously injured. Aren’t they all fighting for a cause? They are I tell you. As flimsy and incomprehensible as the cause may seem, what is important is that they are driven by deep seated convictions. Let’s face it, intolerance is intolerance, violence is violence, one type of violence does not supersede the other because it was done with good reason. The end in this case does not just the means.

The fight on the streets of Kano and Jigawa isn’t about who won or lost the election. . It is a cry for help by a people who have been continually raped by a system that should bring healing and abundance. It is a show of frustration by young able bodied men who have been deprived of education and the means to take care of themselves. It is the culmination of decades of neglect by the political class. Sadly, we all get to reap its grim harvest. These young men are so ignorant they smile at the cameras as they kill. It’s not going to stop until we address the root cause of the problem: Good governance, respect for ourselves as indigenes of a state called Nigeria and a sincere desire to see this country move forward. The problem goes beyond tribe and religion and what geo-political zone we come from. It’s the integrity of the elected to do what is right at all times not because it’s convenient but because he is subject to the dictates of his conscience.

The crisis is not a Northern problem; it is something every sane Nigerian should be worried about. For those of us reading this, as long as we live in this country no one is safe, we cannot afford to be apathetic towards this. It does concern you.

We need to realise that the problem with Nigeria isn’t the muslims or the Christians, or the tribes and ethnic groups; The problem is you and me. It is that simple! The problem is the way we think, the continuous trashing of Nigeria and constant comparison to developed economies, the apathy, the tribal sentiments, the superiority complex, the unforgiveness, the greed, the hatred, the selfishness, the complete erosion of the values that has held together so far, the delicate fabric that we are.

Can we please stop pointing fingers and throwing stones, the house is on fire! Can we skip to the part where we come to our senses, realise we’ve been taken for a ride and bequeath a better Nigeria to the coming generation? We owe it to God and our children.

Here are my suggestions, if you have any yourself, go ahead and post it:

The post is getting too long. I'll continue shortly

chronique: @ Naomi Lucas: It's been quite a while girl;where've you been? By the way,you're still single?... Anyways,nice post you got there. Keep it up.

If only I knew who Chronique was

Yomieluv: What do you expect from a school located in the Northern part of Nigeria,being educated there is seen as a luxury,and a straight ticket to be the Governor of the state. So am not surprised.

You sound like someone who has never been to the north!

Hey,

It’s been two minutes right? I know… My apologies; the holidays have a way of making one lazy and writing is one tasking activity.

So, here we are, 1st of January 2013, and there you are unemployed. I can only imagine how depressing that is.

I’ve come up with a few tips to keep you from jumping off a cliff and help you get through this period; read on…

Last week, I had finished taking some applicants through my interview process and shortlisted 2 of them to meet with the client who paid me to help with recruitment. After meeting with them, he called and told me he wanted more options. I had to go through a reserve list of CVs in my database I hadn’t initially gone through because they didn’t apply for the position.

I called and arranged an interview with some of the candidates who fit the job profile. While meeting with one of the candidates, I asked her ‘What’s the most challenging thing you’ve ever done?’ And without missing a heartbeat she said ‘Coming for this interview’. ‘Huh? I don’t understand’ I said.

She explained. She had attended interview after interview after interview and on several occasions got to the point where all that was left was to get an offer letter; and then something would go wrong and she wouldn’t hear from the organization again. The last time it happened, it was a job she really wanted and when she heard some of the people she attended the interview with had resumed work, she was devastated. So when I called and told her about the job opening, she almost told me she wasn’t interested but decided to find the strength and enthusiasm to try again.

I was touched and told her to remain optimistic anything could happen. After the interview, she scored really high compared to every other candidate. Again I arranged a meeting with the CEO. After the meeting, despite having more qualified applicants, the CEO called and said she was his most preferred candidate and gave reasons why he felt strongly about it. I agreed with him.

Now there’s one more level to cross, meeting with the BoD which should happen sometime during the week. With very strong recommendations from the CEO and myself I expect the BoD to tow the same line. If that happens, she will be resuming within a week of getting her letter, as Head of a department in a highflying organization.

Moral of the story, your next application might be the one. It doesn’t matter how many times you get turned down, you can’t afford to give up or lose your enthusiasm; sometimes that’s all you need to get the job.

Here are some practical tips to help with your job search:
1. Good news! It’s recruitment season: Most companies recruit between December and February. Now is a good time to aggressively job hunt.

2. Get on the road: Draw up a list of Companies you want to work with and prepare your CV. If you don’t have email addresses, print hard copies on quality paper and drop them off physically. If you don’t know who the HR Manager is, address it to the CEO, it’ll end up on his desk or his PA’s and if he finds your material interesting, you just might get that call you’ve been waiting for.

3. Sell yourself: Be proactive. Conventional job-hunting methods may not work. Research the companies you’re interested in: What challenges do they face? What value can you add? What difference can you make? Make sure your recommendations are original and practical, then call or visit and arrange a meeting with the HR Manager or CEO depending on the size of the organization. More times than not, you’ll get an appointment.

4. Lure them: Ok, so the employer is reluctant about offering you a job? No problem. Offer to work with them for a month at no cost. Most employers will not resist free labour. If you get the opportunity, dive in and give it your best shot. Show up at work on time, respect their code of conduct, take initiative, be a problem solver, put in all you’ve got. After the agreed period ask for an objective performance evaluation. If they still cannot employ you, ask if the CEO or HR Manager will be nice enough to write a recommendation which you can use for your job search.

5. Be productive: After all has been said and done, you’re still without a job? Don’t become a couch potato; keep your mind active. There are a lot of free MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses) out there by reputable institutions across the globe (E.g MIT, Havard, Stanford, Duke University etc.) Register and take courses that interest you, so when a potential employer asks what you’ve been doing with your time, you can have a plausible explanation. I’ll do a separate write up on MOOCs, but before then, visit www.coursera.org and check out the courses available. There’s no fee attached, all you need is Internet and your time.

Welcome to 2013.

http://graduatepro..com/2013/01/coping-with-unemployment-in-new-year.html

I have promised myself that for the next six months, I’m not buying any aso-ebi, it doesn’t matter who is getting married (God help me). Sometimes I wonder what the brides were thinking. Electric blue? I mean is that a colour or a type of fish? Where am I supposed to wear the dress to after the wedding?

On the d-day the bride looks like a painting, with her gelled hair and impeccable make up, grinning from molar to molar and making me wish my wedding could take place sooner.

And then not even two months after, the picture perfect couple are at each other’s throats, their solemn vow of for better for worse thrown out the window.

The battle of the sexes begins.

To my married friends, I have come up with a 10 point agenda to help you navigate the confusing maze called marriage. Ignore it to your detriment. lol

1. Get rid of false expectations
Before the wedding you had it all figured out-3 kids, a 3 bedroom in suburbia, relatives that inform you two months before coming for a visit, a husband who finds every other female unattractive, comes home by 6pm and makes dinner when you are too tired. When he gets home 5 hours before you do and waits for you to come back and fix dinner, don’t say he’s changed. You know what happened? You got married.

2. Birds of the same feather should flock together!
When you were dating, did he play golf on Sunday mornings while you went to church? Does he see Tafa Balogun as a hero for securing the future of his offsprings at the expense of those poor policemen? If it bothered you then but you went ahead with the wedding anyway, it’s a tad too late to be complaining about his lack of integrity, don’t you think?

3. Trust and Fidelity
It is the bedrock on which every relationship is formed. Stop stalking him. If he says he’s at the bank, believe that’s where he is. If he comes home late and says he had a flat tyre, then that’s what happened. Trust him until he gives you a reason not to. Except if you snatched him from your best friend, in which case your maid might most likely bear him a son. It’s called the law of seed time and harvest time. And sometimes it comes pressed down, shaken together and running over too.

4. Get a grip on yourself
You know at first it’s really cute when he hurts you and you cry but let’s face it, after a while, he just gets irritated and equates your tears to blackmail. Besides, if he has sadistic tendencies, he might make you cry just for the fun of it, and probably watch Supersport while you empty your tear ducts.

5. What a man can do, a woman shouldn’t bother doing
Sometimes I get put off by women trying to assert themselves. He asks you on a date, you foot the bill. He takes you shopping; you tell him you can handle it. He wants to pay for your hair, you say you got it covered, thinking, I want him to know I can take care of myself. Are you surprised that now you are married, he tells the landlord to see you when the rent is due?

6. The game is in the chase
Remember how far he went to get you? Remember when he stood on Akpongbon Bridge begging you to marry him or else he’ll kill himself? (Well maybe that was taking it too far) And now he treats you like household furniture? It’s because he’s got you and he knows you ain’t going nowhere; I think? Advice no 7 & 8 should fix this problem.

7. Give him a reason to come back home
Now you are married you’ve let yourself go. You wear corn rows for one month and tie a wrapper on your chest on Saturdays. You eat everything labelled edible and don’t know where your make up kit is. You have a pile of dirty clothes on the living room couch and a bathroom that hasn’t been washed since you got married. And you complain that he never stays at home? Why should he? He may be disorganised but he doesn't expect you to be.

8. Live with Purpose
Beyond getting married, having children and taking care of the home, I honestly believe there is a greater purpose for which you were born. Aspire. Dream. Achieve! It makes you more attractive. Find your purpose and enlist your husband’s support to make it happen. I mean, Okonjo Iweala’s husband must be very proud wherever he is.

9. Money Matters
Never, ever lose your financial independence. There’s nothing wrong with having your own cash. He said he doesn’t want you to work? Well sell ice-block or something. There should be other words in your vocabulary beyond I want, I need, I’ve got to have, give me. He will lose respect for you when he has to support the family all by himself. And God help you if anything happens to him and you are left with children, a greedy set of in-laws and no job.

10. Speak his language
There’s something about familiarity that will make you take him for granted. Then he spoke you listened, now before he gets a word out, you say twenty. Stop wondering why he’ll rather drink with the guys than hang out with you. If he’s acting funny, it’s because you stopped speaking his language. Rediscover what it was that attracted him to you, and live it up.

There it is. I hope it helps.

But then again maybe you shouldn’t take me too seriously, remember, I’m just a single lady

Thanks.

sucrecandy: Very Impressive post. Thanks so much for sharing this article. Thumbs up!

You're welcome

So you just got your first job and you’re ecstatic yeah? Congratulations. I’m happy for you; really. Maybe you’ve heard that the corporate world is a dog eat dog environment; well, sometimes.

You’ve also heard about workplace politics? Yeah, it exists. Though there are laid down rules for workplace behavior, it is usually the unwritten rules that end up costing you a promotion or earning you a reputation you do not want to have. So, here’s my rough checklist of things you should pay attention to as an ‘otondo’ (Novice) in the workplace.

If it’s your first day, sleep early. Imagine waking up with a hangover and having quarter-to-four eyes during induction. God forbid a bad thing.

Visit the office before the D-day and time yourself. How long did it take you to get there? Add at least one hour to that time; just in case a container falls on the way or it rains or… You don’t want to arrive late and when asked why, give the very stupid excuse that there was traffic. You’re a new staff on PROBATION. Remember that.

Even if you leave by 4am in the morning, eat well. By the time the Admin Manager is done introducing you to 30 people and taking you through the company’s code of conduct, you’ll remember breakfast on your first day at work as the 2nd best decision you made in your life.

I’m hoping that by now you would’ve researched the company, what it does, who is who and what they stand for before showing up crisp and clueless on your first day. You get my drift right? No? Ok, I meant, visit the company website and understand their business. It’ the least you can do.

I know you admire Mark Zuckerberg but please don’t show up in flip-flops or jeans or t-shirts- you don’t own the company. Girlfriend, I know you’re all for creativity and expressing your true self, but it’s a workplace. Fuchsia is your favourite colour? I understand, but not on your hair! All 5 fingernails have different colours; no one is going to take you seriously. Keep all the glittery and shimmering stuff for the company Christmas party ok? And your cleavage, g-string and thighs stay covered. Got that?

Ask questions, it’s allowed. You are new. It’s better than feeling like superman and bungling an assignment because you are too proud to ask.

Note things down: who works in what department, names, titles; people like to think they’re memorable enough for you to remember so indulge them.

Leave it alone, it’s not yours: Ask for things that don’t belong to you before using them. If it’s not yours leave it alone. Respect private property. And yes, it includes biros too.

You leave the office with a left over plate of Ewedu by your table, pieces of confidential info and files lying haphazardly. How are you ever going to think straight with all that clutter? Discard stuff you don’t need and make sure to arrange your table at the end of work each day.

You don’t want to start your career talking about who wore what or who is likely sleeping with who …You’ll get into trouble faster than you lace your shoe. To keep you in check, just know 10 other people are queuing up to take your job if you mess up.

Use you eyes and ears and do very little talking. Understand your environment first, before you begin to proffer solutions to everyone’s problems. You stay out of trouble and look smart that way.

Ask your direct Supervisor how he/she likes things done. Emails or phone calls? Daily or weekly reports? It helps reduce the friction that may arise if you do not understand his/her work style.

Try and contain yourself until you understand how the system works. No cracking jokes and slapping people on the back like you finished primary school together. Keep your voice even; it’s not a motor park.

Understand the fact that your learning and development is your sole responsibility. If you do not learn a thing after one year of working in an organization, please don’t whine that no one sent you for training. Those who will excel in today’s workplace make things happen for themselves and take responsibility for their own growth and advancement.

And whatever you are asked to do, do with a smile; it may be a test; don’t pucker your nose and look like you’ve just been slapped by the cleaner.
Much love,
–
