Career › Re: What's Your Experience Working Under Your Boss's Children? by optimusprime2(m): 2:24pm On Nov 09
WriterX:
Simple question, no lies just drop your experiences and we can all learn.

I myself haven't personally had a bad experience except one time, one was trying to do my work for me. I simply walked up to the boss and explained the situation and the consequences of it.

He subsequently made sharp arrangements that made her work directly under me.

I remember the crazy experiences lol las las she left shortly for school and that was it!

What about you, what experiences can you share?
I can write a whole epistle on this topic, because for about 3 years, this was my life, working under my CEO's children in a large tech establishment.

I can say this for sure, most daughters of CEO'S have their fathers mindset with more or less few upgrades to company management philosophy... the Son's however tend to be the proverbial pandora's box, there's no telling what to expect from them... in my case I was the referee between CEO and CTO(son) fights as they most of the time have very differing management philosophies.

TV/Movies › Re: Arise News kicks Out Anthony Kila by optimusprime2(m): 9:50am On Oct 14
Hemanwel:
I don't think this is the best way to handle the issue.

Arise News hasn't heard from Tony and they've concluded the allegations are true by disengaging him, because they have not heard from him after 10 days.

Just 10 days??
To be honest I thought the same... but after checking the negative feedbacks from most of the said Uni's "Prof" claimed to have attended, what is there to hear from him again??

That he did a Remedial PhD... or hear him repeat the infamous "I can explain" after being caught in the act?

Arise TV being a bastion of transparency in this era of social media freedom, did the right thing by dissociation, so that they save their own reputation, which matters most especially as the Presidential elections draws closer.
Politics › Re: ADC Will Not Score 25% In Any State In The South — Kwankwaso by optimusprime2(m): 12:36pm On Oct 12
Richtaiwo:
Tinubu is not contesting for Lagos State governor. He is contesting for the president of Nigeria. When he contested for Lagos State governor, he won twice consecutively. He may still lose Lagos State but will win simple majority. It is only obedients that think losing Lagos State means he lost presidential election. What kind of brain is that. Infact Tinubu has 100% chances of winning NC and about 90% chances of winning SW.
Brother I don't know how you analyse politics, but in the 2023 Presidential Elections, even with Buhari's support, BAT won only 4 core Nothern states, read again only 4 core Northern states, Atiku, Kwankwaso and Surprisingly Obi Shared the Northern votes. BAT didn't even win the FCT... heck he didn't even get 25% of votes in the FCT.

If your argument is him getting 25% in some Northern states, I might partially understand, but if you mean BAT outrightly winning in the North, in an era that lacks Buhari's support... Please let me know how BAT will win in the north?

2013- Turkey, I entered a designers shop to get something and I experienced something awkwardly silly...

You see, the moment I entered, two staff started following me around everywhere I went in that shop (that's not the norm in the shop) ... and not like they were trying to assist me, because they kept their distance, but everywhere I entered, these guys followed. I smiled to myself because I knew what was going on.

I decided since na dem start the drama, no wahala we go act this drama fully... I picked some very expensive items and quickly walked directly to "my followers", gave them to hold and beckoned at them to follow me, this surprised them, so instead they walked away and I noticed shortly after, a new set of "followers" started trailing me again.

Long story short, I walked to the counter and told them my items were with "my escorts" and I would like to pay, (this was alot of money), I removed Dollars and started counting in their face, of course when they saw I had bought out money, it seemed they at the counter started asking who followed me... at that point I kept a poker face and was looking at them, waiting for "my escorts" to bring the items... they got confused for a bit and by the time they could fully gather what I meant (because their English was limited), I put my money in my pocket and walked out... as I was walking out, they were calling me back to come back... mtcheew nawnsense.

When Luis Figo left the Portuguese team, CR7 still wore 17 for a while, until Figo personally handed it to him with the proverbial "blessings" of a sage.

Now look what is going on... if CR7 could be treated like this, then what team heritage is worth fighting for?

It means Bruno Fernandes is next grin

Kane outscored Mbappe in which major competition? Please educate me on that

And fifa doesn't give ballon dor... France foootball does.

That is an established fact... I only stated FiFA because of FIFA's rank impact on major competitions

Segxydube:
Where is his trophy?
If we are talking about the Ballon'dor as a recognition of team effort, then either Xavi or Iniesta should have won it in 2010, because they both won a FIFA worldcup... but a particular Messi won it in 2010, because he made 60 goals look like Cabin biscuits and groundnuts... FIFA did not overlook that individual feat because it was not normal stats.

Mbappe did the same this year... He outscored everyone on All not some, ALL major soccer events... please what does a team trophy have to do with brilliant individual stats that are unreal?

FYI: one of Mbappes goals is even a Puskas award nomination

Fiscus105:
How Mbappe comes to the scene? Is it because of few goals he scored against weak countries in the world cup.

How will 9 games in world cup supersede a footballer who performed excellent throughout a year, including world cup?

Stop going emotional wen rewarding hardworking.
Bro,

If we are talking about "Individual accolades" alone for this year(which is what the Balon'dor is meant for), then it's absolutely an Mbappe call.

1. Champions league 25/26 Highest goal scorer
2. La liga 25/26 Highest goal scorer
3. FIFA World Cup 26 Highest goal scorer
4. FIFA World Cup all time goal record breaker and holder
5. FIFpro 2026 selection


What else do you want for individual distinction in a striker?

Since you know much about Germany, please give him beneficial information that be of help to him. He may not have access to the information you have. When a man is not sure of what to do, it is just information that he needs, simple
Fam,
I am not claiming to know much about Germany, what my emphasis is on rather, is due diligence... personal research, an explorers mindset and networking are vital tools one needs to embrace and utilize in Europe and if after 6 years, Sydney has not connected to a plug that can connect him to a plug, that can connect him to a plug etc... spoonfeeding him with "information" here, will be to his detriment.

Hmmmmmm Germany and language.
I am not sure how achievable you think learning deutsch can be. Personally I am bad with Languages especially deutsch.
I will just tell you not to waste your 60m on anything that will not give you a Permanent Status in a country where English is the official language. If you can extend your germany stay some more, maybe you will just have to endure the stressful job some more, keep saving. I am tempted to tell you to learn french and shoot for Canda PR, but its up to you ultimately.
The most obvious thing is for you to keep learning german, while you endure your job, depending on how much time Germany will give you to stay.
But if you ever have to go back to Nigeria. Carry that your money put it in 20% high yield savings, collect the interest of like 9m up front(less tax), live on that interest while you study French like your life depends on it. Hopefully you can pass the french test after like 12 months
If someone cannot learn a language that he has been surrounded by for 6 years, do you think its a more abstract language he will pick in 12 months??

Spoiler alert: contrary to mainstream stereotypes, German is easier than French, especially if your root language is English.

Confusedhamburg:
Hi all. My name is Sydney and I’m a Nigerian living in Hamburg. I need advice on next course of action for my life. I came to Germany from Nigeria some 6 years ago for my masters. I finished finally in 2025 after so many ups and downs. I couldn’t find a professional job afterwards and my visa expires this year end, although I’m finding ways of renewing for few extra months by telling them I couldn’t find job.

I’m 40 unmarried but fortunately has been able to save around 60m naira.

Please, I need the OGs in the house to advice me on a good English speaking country I can relocate to which will be my final bus stop as I’m tired of moving around.

Although I acknowledge I made a mistake here by not learning the language (I’m in A2 but can barely speak). I’m thinking of Canada but not too certain.

My background is in a business course / economics (bachelors second class lower).
I’m still doing research though but I need people who have been in my shoes to kindly advise. I can barely sleep, thinking about next steps. I work and save around 900 euros monthly but it’s not a professional job and very stressful.

Thanks.
Sydney are you joking or ...

I have to be very Frank with you, no fluff...

If after an Msc + 6 years Student legal residence in Germany, and you still don't know your left from your right... please, please and please ...go back to Nigeria with your savings & figure it out from there.

To prevent stories that touch as a result of Nairaland advice.

Currently Germany sits as the global number one destination for international students to graduate and find something doing.

However if people read this your post now, they might get a totally wrong impression about Germany... As far as I know, the only con about Germany is putting up with the language but asides that.... mheeeen what are you saying ??

You hussled and found nothing in Berlin... Berlin??, Munich, Stuttgart, Dortmund and Dusseldorf??

Sydney... don't bother about another country, go back to Nigeria.

Apart from the worrisome AFCON disappearances that most top clubs detest...


It's just down to his wages .... they feel he does not Justify the high wages he currently sports at Turkey...

Now breaking it down Further V09 gets a high package after tax... focus here, "After Tax" , Turkey has a different tax scheme as compared to the UK that runs mad taxes for high earners.

If V09 is to be paid the equivalent of what he earns in Turkey at England... after taxes, then his wage demand including bonuses will creep to about 500 to 700k per week...

Clubs want him to take a paycut however... I think he deserves it.


I wonder why it becomes a difficult matter for top European clubs to break the bank for world class African players...
