NYSC / Re: The Distraction Called Nysc: An Urgent Re-think For Youths by omeira: 10:16pm On May 26, 2017
munex007:
I've been trying to understand why young Nigerians are excited about NYSC. I just don't understand it. I mean, if someone is busy, really busy in his life, he will frown at gallivanting in some obscure uniform for one year - wasting a whole year that should have been dedicated to productivity. But, trust those who are posting their pictures in that prison uniform, they will say, You are just a hater.

I don't hate you. I don't understand you. I am very worried that you are leaning on the rails of convention. Arguably, once someone deviates from the "Go to School – Get a Job – Get a Family" model, he is seen as a delusional fool who is certain to fail and is discouraged at every turn. But the truth is that we know our parents are great liars - they have failed and so, they subconsciously don't want us to be better than them. That is why they always say, Get a degree, get a job and then, do a Master's, and when you do a Master's and you're useless again like most Master's holders in the country, they nudge you on to get a PhD. You become fully useless and stupid.

Who wants a PhD holder in a structure less society?

But the NYSC thing our parents don't realise it has no redeeming quality, but they persuade us to do it because Nkolika and Musa and Bisola have done it. Oh, can't you see that Ade is serving? If you don't serve, you won't get a job.

Fucking lies! What job? They finish and there is no job because there is no one in his right sense that would be creating jobs for you to take. So, we end up having a world full of capitalist slaves. People who are enslaved on the premise that they are being made responsible.

The world has moved on from your NYSC..Since you have one unproductive year to rigamarole and wear prison uniform.


There are three types of people, those who have failed to master society’s formula for success, those who successfully replicated (copied) this formula, and then there are the trend setters, the innovators. These are the people that have taken the formula of the generation, learnt from it and improved on it.

The old formula was to study hard, get good grades and a degree, get a good job, work hard and earn your promotion to top management. These days, with everyone studying hard and getting good grades, and higher degrees, people have to find a new means to be exceptional. Some are spending decades and countless Naira pursuing post-post-post doctorate degrees. They spend most of their life preparing for life!.

The workforce has changed too; nepotism, tribalism and other forms of preferential treatments are more prevalent and this makes promotion next to impossible for many people. Companies are also promoting people without the pay to match the name, so you find professionals or Ph.D. holders with fancy job titles struggling to pay basic bills...A lot of companies are owing their employees months salary..The ones being paid have nothing to show after deducing their monthly expenses

The joy of every graduate is to get job within a short period of time after university education, but with this list i don't think there is any joy in graduating from Nigeria Universities, except if you have a job waiting for you, or you graduate from Nigeria Defense Academy(NDA) that have
automatic job.



The Nigerian economy today is in a tailspin. What used to work has simply stopped working. The economic rules have changed but we seem to be playing by the old rules of the game. Crude isn’t our biggest resource as a nation and even if diamond strewn the entire landscape of Nigeria, it still will not be our most valued resource. Our most valuable resource is our mind and we need to start changing our mindset from dogmas set by society.


It is time to defy the odds. To refuse to accept the status quo. To think differently and be different. To decipher abundant opportunities even in immense potential in such a great nation as ours. It is about lifelong learning. It is about building formidable network..

Considering the high level of expectancy ratio of we Nigerians especially students. Blue collar jobs are what we all popularly call Entrepreneurship while the white collar jobs are the opposite,obviously the relationship that exist between them categorically is just one being the giver while the other the receiver or taker. The problem I have detected so far is our life style,Lack of motivational forces to propel us to want to leave where we are today to the promise of better tomorrow, No body wanting to starve his/herself today for a better consumption tomorrow,The fear to do something new,procrastination, bluffs ,students going after attraction neglecting the aftermath of Their action to be distraction and finally rejection.E.t.c let us always live to remember that we’all wil get a Fraction of any sort of friction we cause ourselves or others. Start something today no matter how small it is,Save money so that you can save yourself your Tomorrow, Don’t wait for the government to provide jobs and the fundamental human needs cos you are the govt of your destiny..

Unfortunately most of us can't change this situation.. I will advice you to make the very best of your time during service. Get a skill, Get relevant certification, Read many self developments books, work on your interpersonal skills

I will leave you with this powerful quote from Steve Jobs:

“Your time is limited so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma, which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition, they somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.”

Remembering you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There’s no reason not to follow your heart.” - Steve Jobs


Think deep.. Change your mindset

Ibn Nasr


This is it. Thanks a whole lot for this piece brother. It's good to know someone out there shares similar views with you.
And yes, happy Ramadan. May Allah ease our affairs, accept our siyam and forgive our sins. Take care.

Literature / Once "Beaten" by omeira: 3:42pm On Mar 17, 2017
It was our first ever
'Started out calmly
Then it became heated
Gradually
His eyes got red
He was blazing with fury
I was irritated
And I did respond slyly
Then I heard a clap
But it wasn't really a clap
Two palms didn't strike themselves
So change the see to hess
A thick graft of brawny phalanges
Smacked bliss out of my rosy cheek
It felt frenzy at first
Like a bell was ringing in my ears
My vessels pulsed like they would burst
And life seemed everly blur
Stars still hovering around me
I picked my bag and made to leave
His softened frame blocked my way
Soberly, he began to plead
Without a word I walked away
Lest someday he'll make me bleed
Once beaten, run for your life my dear
Is a quote I once told a friend
A slap before saying "I do"
Means flowers on my tombstone for honeymoon
That's if I last long enough for a wedding party
Cos no matter what, a gentleman never hits a lady...
Literature / Re: Vote My Story For The Etisalat Flash Fiction Award by omeira: 7:15am On Nov 23, 2016
Hello it's just one more week to go. I need you guys to vote my story for the etisalat flash fiction award.

https://prize.etisalat.com.ng/flash-fiction/voteall.php?id=1991 (https://prize.etisalat.com.ng/flash-fiction/voteall.php?id=1991)

story below
Osas grabbed his throat in agony as the throes of death gnawed at him. He gaped at the plates in front of him as pain engulfed all of him. He felt the urge to disgorge his abdominal contents. Yet pain had not even started. Osas could be saved, but he knew, those with him knew he would not, must not survive it. The tradition stays. No one eats what Osas ate from the king's plate except that he dies.
The palace was quiet save for the eulogizer's voice which chanted words of sorrow. The oba, the esama who was visiting and the eulogizer looked on as Osas groaned and moaned in pain. The palace maids stuck out their heads from behind curtains, battling amongst themselves to get a better view of the scene for their mouths were itching to tell tales. Tales of how Osas the second son of late Osarumwense succumbed to the grasp of death. Everyone in the room watched and waited for when the young man's body would encounter peace once again. Oba shifted uncomfortably, his kind heart full of despair. Another one, a third king's taster about to bite the dust.
Osas could taste death as much as the treacherous food he just ate. His father and older brother had reunited with his ancestors in this same vein and his own dirge would soon be heard. Few minutes later Osas was frothing at the mouth. His struggle was over. He embraced death.
Three men had died in a fortnight after eating from the king's plates. Two maids had been beheaded and a third person was about to be. Whoever prepares poison pays with his head. Someone had yet again tried to kill the king. Only that this time, the food was made by a queen.
