Jobs/Vacancies › Re: My Most Important Job At 5000naira/month by phemmyfour: 1:49pm On Aug 18, 2023 |
Skyview01: Looking back at my career trajectories and jobs I have had in the past if someone would ask me what was my best and life-changing job, I would say without any shadow of a doubt, it was my job at a small-sized audit firm along Ikorodu Road Lagos that changed my career as an accountant.
It was the year 2000 and I was done with my Accounting Technician Service(ATS) - I started with my SSCE and passed my PE1 with ICAN. I was preparing for the next level and desperately looking for a job. Without a degree, OND, HND, and Nysc, or any formal education for that matter. I was a poor broke dude coming from a large poor family, all eyes were on me in the family and I could not afford to fail.
For me, it was a do-or-die kid of affair!
As broke as a church rat, I would always go to the newspaper vendors at the Cele bus stop in Lagos every Tuesday, and pay a token to borrow the Tuesday Guardian.
That was before the internet era, I would write out all the vacancies and return the paper to the vendor. That way, At some point, I had submitted more than 200 applications with no feedback. Totally discouraged, I taught the village people are on top of my matta and might be under some spiritual spell.
Around mid-2000, I came upon a brilliant idea, I made up my mind that I needed experience from an audit firm very badly on my resume if I were to succeed as an accountant. So, I printed more than fifty(50) copies of my resume and starting from Anthony bus stop on Ikorodu Road, up to Oju-Elegba bus stop, you know there are lots of small accounting firms along that axis.
I trekked and distributed my resume and cover letters to all the firms I could find while in the hot sun, sweating like a Christmas goat about to be slaughtered for the pleasures of others.
My modus operandi was to walk up to the receptionist of any firm and tell them I was looking for a job. I would give out my resumes and cover letters like candies on a Halloween night, asking for them to contact me if they happen to have any vacancies while I tossed resumes under doors for offices that were closed.
When I got back home, I would wake up in the middle of the hot night to pray and cry to God for divine favor on my applications.
One month after that exercise precisely, I got a call from one of the audit firms I had dropped my resume to come for an interview for the position of Semi-senior at a whooping salary of N5,000 naira in a month. I was so happy and was jumping upandan with joy, even went to the local revival hour service to share a loud testimony in the church.
Most of the time, I could not afford transport fares and would hitch a ride on the open back of a neighbor's pickup truck for free while immaculately dressed in my cut-and-join three-piece suit and a fat guillotine, neck-chocking tie, sweating and smelling like a Canadian skunk, to work in the at my 5k naira job.
I worked in that company for about one year and learned a lot, I was able to lead audits of manufacturing companies, government agencies, and finance and construction companies, and within one year, I was already well-grounded in accounting work experience.
Going back to the topic of the thread, the reason why I rated that, 5000naira/month, job was that later in the years, all three breakthrough jobs I had specifically requested experience in an accounting firm as a major requirement. I wouldn't have gotten those jobs without my audit firm experience. I later went on to finish my exams and lectured for the institute, and the rest, as they say, are now stories.
Never let anybody put you down and do not despise days of little beginnings, That little position you may be occupying today may be a building block to a brighter future and hard work does pay.
Whatever you want in life, go out there and fight for it like it's a matter of life and death. After you have tried your best, you can now go and pray as though you depend on God 100% (if you are religious)
Without that 5k job, I am positive I may not be where I am today, and the purpose of this write-up is to encourage millions of young one's out there. The country may be tough and our leaders may be failing us, prices of commodities may be sky-high in the market, but that is not enough excuse for you not to succeed.
Thanks for reading. It's more about the experience not the 5k. There are many 5k or more jobs out there that doesn't provide any relevant experience |
Family › Re: The Word “Marriage Is Just For Once” Is A Scam Don't Fall For It? by phemmyfour: 1:44pm On Aug 18, 2023 |
fineboynl: If any family is compelling you to spend the money you do not have unnecessary for a marriage ceremony. And they tell you marriage is just for once just borrow to spend it once and for all do not obliged because it's a scam.
There is nothing like once and for all in any marriage, and for a family who wanted the ceremony as they so desired yet not making the provision from their pocket but compelling you to do so that's it's just once and for all.
I can assure you that It won't be long before you start noticing it's nothing but a scam. Marriage is a continues spending with everything attached to it and if you are not prepared it means you are not ready yet.
You will soon start shouldering that family responsibilities when your wife putting pressure on you to help her family here and there..
There are some family that when they heard about marriage thry believe you have arrived. After all na who get money de do marriage. And the bigger you make that ceremony look the more the expectations and attention you will end up drawing to yourself. Even bride price A lady was shouting here the other day that the husband has changed towards her cos he collected loan to pay a scandalous bride price in the name of "you only pay once" |

There is a French orthography
All Yoruba do not live in Nigeria Some are found in Benin republic and do not necessarily used the English derived orthography

Family › Re: Is It Delusional To Postpone Marrying Until You Find The Perfect One? by phemmyfour: 9:40am On Aug 18, 2023 |
Zigzagman: In Nigeria today, our neighbourhoods and cities are full of young, unmarried eligible bachelors and single ladies with delusions about love, dating and romance. It is not unusual to see lots of unmarried people attending clubs, weddings, churches, mosques and religious programmes in expectation of meeting someone to marry.
Yet, according to the single men and ladies in this video, there's a big unspoken issue around young people and romance. It's really difficult for them.
While many of them are honest and ready to commit, they struggle to find partners who are ready to date just one person today. It appears everybody is keeping their romantic options open, constantly scanning the dating landscape looking for better partners. As such, it's now commonplace to see many Nigerians postponing marriage until their thirties.
Considering the fact that most of our grandparents in Nigeria got married in their early twenties, do you think they have a point or do they just have delusion about love, dating and marriage?
Watch and share your opinion Perfection is relative. Nobody is 100% perfect, you ain't perfect for your spouse either. Go for someone that will give you peace and everything will seem perfect in your eyes |

winnah: Good morning family, I never felt the need to do this, it's not like I don't know what else to do. I just need your opinion. Am currently a Branch manager of one of the biggest indigenous retail company (supermarket) in the country. Some group of Indian investor bought over my company... And I was transferred to Abakaliki to open our new branch. my relationship with the new owners I won't lie, is great.. My net monthly salary now is 110k, I have an official car and I live in the company's quarters. There's no hope for salary increment. In the next 10 years am not sure of getting to 200k. My fiancee is in pH, and we are hoping to get married by next year.. this places a lot of demand to increase my income so I can afford to take care of my family.
However, I have an offer with another retail company in pH with salary of 200k. The company has promised and increment upon my confirmation. I went for the interview yesterday.. when they saw my experience and everything in my CV they became anxious to bring me in... So they asked how much am expecting I told them 200-250k and they settle at 200k. Right they, the chairman asked HR to give me offer letter and that I should start with immediate effect. My pain now is that, First ; according to the HR their budget for the position was 300k.. now I've short change my self.. I feel so bad.
Secondly; I don't know how to present this to my MD, how do I tell them am leaving.. and the notice seems short. As I met him yesterday with a lot of expectations and target from me, just don't know how to communicate it to him. How I wish they can offer me this amount. Is two weeks enough to do handing over... Check your employment letter, most time a month notice is suffice |
