Trust ur country people now, the man is somehow corrupt too, but Nigerians are so damn acquainted to celebrating the dead once the person dies his bad deed dies, then it will be time for celebration for an unrealistic good deeds. If Buhari should loose/drop dead now people will still come up n say he's the best ever seen as a president...

Johnspeak Uwangue: How Not To Get Sacked From Your Workplace

By Johnspeak Uwangue (Human Development Consultant, Talent Manager and Coach)

With the fast rise in the rate of unemployment and poverty, it has become imperative for every employees to secure their jobs no matter how insignificant the job may seem. There are thousands of Unemployed who are fasting and praying, visiting one deliverance house to another just to get a job like yours. As enticing as entrepreneurship is, most African entrepreneurs are regretting quitting their jobs.

Life is like a game of card and whether you are aware or not, you are playing the game. Most people who are not experiencing growth in their lives or business are those who don't know how to play the game so also it is in the workplace. Your degree might get you a good job but it may not determine if you will stay long in your job.
Today, I want to share with you just five tips that you can use to secure your job or position for as long as you want.

- Loyalty
The loyalty of some employees either to the owner of the company, the head of their department, the wife/husband/boyfriend or girlfriend of their boss etc is the reason why they still have their jobs. You may think they are being foolish, but their foolishness is why they still have a job. Even if you are naturally proud, wisdom demands you fake loyalty until you have been able to gather enough money or experience or contact to move forward. It won't be a bad idea if you keep telling you boss how loyal you are. Humans are naturally selfish, so, no one will lift up another man if they don't believe that they can control you.

- Keep Your Mouth Shut
People who always want to say it as they saw it or as they are feeling always die before their time. You might be loyal to your bosses but your mouth can betray your loyalty. If you want to keep your job you must be careful how you talk whether in public or private. Recently, a top editor in a top organization in Nigeria allowed his mouth to put him in trouble. Don't talk bad about your superiors to your colleagues because you don't know who was planted in the company to report what you said. Never you allow your mouth to take away food from your mouth.

- Competency
Competency is a card you need to play in order to secure your job forever. You need to develop yourself until no one in your organization is as competent as you in your field. People will always need people who have what they need. Haven't you wondered why some ladies still stick to their abusive partners? He may have character flaws but he may be too good in the other room to let go (this is not my handwriting o!).

- Learn To Play The Workplace Politics Well
I have written a whole writeup on workplace politics before and I don't intend to repeat it here. Because of God let me explain a little. Politics is not just about political offices, it has now entered into every organizations and institutions. For you to be able to secure your job you must understand the various politics at play in workplaces. Like, the politics of numbers, the politics of institutions, the politics of relationship etc.

- Have Plans In Place
Inasmuch as this writeup is about securing your job, I also believe that you should have an exit plan. Having a realistic exit plan will give you confidence in your job. Most people will ride on you and even withhold your salary if they know that you don't have a choice. Your confidence will make them think otherwise. Please, don't be arrogant or overly confident when you don't have an exit plan otherwise, you will just lose your job for nothing.

Succeed You Must

If only up to 5% of Nigerian workspace posses those tips, things would have been relatively better, however most of the tips can be a saving grace for relatively highly placed n disciplined workplace, but I entirely disagree on your saying that most entrepreneurs are regretting leaving their work that's for those that resigned or jumped into entrepreneurial tasks without proper feasibility study n business plans, probably following hearsays or riding with the "be your own boss" wave.

However I've been there and can confidently tell you that self employment is the best thing that can happen to any right thinking, truly-a-hardworking and freedom loving fellow. As a fact I consider 99.9% employees regardless of where you are working, as modern day/paid slaves that are too lazy n weakling to stand on their own taking fierce decisions.

There was a little drama in Lagos this morning as two men packed their cars in the middle of Ajah bridge to exchange blows, causing many people to be stuck in traffic.

It's unclear what really led to the clash between the duo.

So, months back while in my friend's room, her room mate asked a question and it goes; "A person who studies/studied English language is called what? Well, I said he/she is a linguist, and she asked if I was sure. Told her to check on google, but she said she couldn't find the answer to it on google. Just this night, I remembered to ask a linguist in my room the same question, and she said I was wrong as studying a language doesn't make one a linguist, but she can't answer the question. Where are my English and Literature students? What's a person who studies/studied English Language called?
Graduate of English/English graduate/Englishian/Englishist.

I eat light with less mass before gym cos digestion from food takes longer, so the necessary protein would've been ready for the muscle use during or immediately after gym. This is essential since I don't take supplement that easily makes protein available to the body. Besides, you need energy to effectively gym. You wouldn't perform optimally and push yourself enough if you weak.

Enough Fried egg is good. You can fry two whole eat, and boil one then remove the yolk before eating. Besides you can buy egg white that doesn't have yolk. You can mix or take raw whichever way you like, protein is still protein.

Protein shakes is just a supplement to natural dieting. The shake is quite easy to consume before, during and after workout. Being in a liquid form I can easily take grams of protein at a point. However, If you can consume adequate protein before gym and after you don't need shakes. I eat rice, vegs, gizzard, liver before gyming, Within an hour after gym I consume 2 fried eggs with brown bread, chicken and beef.

If you not taking natural food(protein) through diet, shakes wouldn't do anything. It mostly serve as a template to normal proteins from food. If you don't normally have appetite for much food then you can use.

Replacing multiples meal per day with protein shakes over a long period could result in nutrient deficiencies, digestive distress, nausea, bloating, headaches, fatigue etc
Wow! Thanks for the insight. So you mean u eat before n after gyming?
I actually thought it's pretty much ideal eating right after hitting the gym rather than the other way round, and you mean fried egg is good for builds too??
I even heard something about drinking raw eggs straight up or mixed with someother stuffs.

Animal protein is the best protein for builders though.

Besides, White part of the egg contains only protein, you can eat as many as possible no adverse effect. Its the yolk that contains fat and 212mg cholesterol, however latest study has shown that dietary cholesterol doesn't lead to high serum cholesterol. When it comes to body builders they're no barrier to most things. eg People are advised not to eat before sleeping but body builders can.

Losing fat and building muscles is technical. A lot may be gaining fat with their unwatched diet, not necessary building lean muscle mass.

Thanks for the awareness man
But what's your take on protein shakes?

No, Just Natural food.

I made sure I eat lots of Protein. Chicken (Breast especially, gizzard, liver), eggs, and lean beef did the trick. At least 3 eggs per day, the whitish part is total protein. In a egg you get 6g protein so I take 3. But take only 2 yolk cos of cholesterol.

Basically to gain more muscles mass I made sure I ate X2 protein of my body mass, so I weighed 87kg then so I ate 174grams of protein per day. This distributed in like 5-7 meals per day. I eat late again at night shortly before sleeping too to enable the building up overnight, even when I wake at midnight to pee I find wheat bread or chicken to chew. I Stopped eating white bread, just brown bread and oats. Rice, veges, spag, beans also helps.

Taking 174g/P through food alone seems hard, you lose appetite sometimes but you just need to force yourself. Working all-round the gym wouldn't help if nutrition is lagging.
Lolz! 5-7 meals per dayhuh U can eat o!
Thanks for the breakdown. Was a huge fan of egg till a medic warned that is no good except for the aged or growing kids, however I thought substituting it with protein shakes, casilla n co. could help too.
SportsRe: PSG And Real Madrid Interested In N'golo Kante by Pentools(m): 1:31pm On Jun 11, 2018

https://savechelsea.net/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/kante-not-ready-to-leave-chelsea.jpg
Chelsea midfielder N’golo Kante has emerged as a subject of strong interest from Ligue 1 giants PSG after his agent reportedly met with the French club’s Sporting Director.

The Chelsea midfielder, who won back-to-back Premier League titles with the Blues and Leicester City is PSG boss Thomas Tuchel’s latest transfer target. Kante led Leicester to a historic Premier League win in 2016, and also won it with Chelsea the following year after a £35 million move, and a deal might be concluded this summer if it is possible according to reports from Paris United.

Real Madrid are also interested in the French midfielder. Meanwhile, Kante’s agent, Kkarim Douis met with PSG Sporting Director Antero Henrique in London as well as in Paris in the past few weeks.

Kante played a crucial part in Chelsea’s FA Cup triumph and was also voted as the PFA and FWA Player of the Year in the 2016-17 football season after being signed by Antonio Conte.
