It just occurred to me that I turned down a 10k teaching job in 2021. The young man almost coerced me into taking it.

Yeah, last year.

Reasons are... Insecurity and distance.

I was drafted to run for president. I didn't go along with it because I didn't think Nigeria was ready for a female president, also I didn't think that party had any chance of winning

Run from any organization doing prayers in the morning.
papyjaypaul:
I rejected one that asked me to pray in the morning. I knew about it at the final stage of the interview. That morning prayer is a trap. A psychological trap by human beings in the name of faith.

Everyone should pray in their homes and come to work to work, not for worship. It happens in some government offices where people bring their personal affair with God to the office. I don't need your outward showoff to know if you're spiritual or religious, I'll see your religion through the way you treat others and make decisions at the work place. Your power to reject is based on your convictions and how experienced you are. At a younger age, you may not see clearly but life will teach you some lessons and later in life you will start to reject what poisons your soul even if it pays you billions. Be grateful for mentors or parents who can protect you and tell you to flee from some traps. Life repeats itself.


When I think about life, what I see is that school never stopped. Adults just changed the venue of classrooms. People want to control you in different ways because they hold the keys to power and that is where the money is. If you don't work, you'll die so people lose their freedoms in the name of work. It's rare to see a class captain who respects you as a person not because he has the power to write your name on the list of noisemakers. The plantation never closed down cry

Authority is not power. Take note of that.

Yes. One tech firm at ikeja hired me and told me I'll be using my personal laptop to work. They don't even have an office space. The address at ikeja is the house of the owner of the company. They said pay is 70k. Fully remote. No company laptop, no data allowance, no call allowance...

Omo I just turn down the offer because the job na serious suffer head.
Any remote job that does provide data be within Nigeria and foreign, reject it at all cost. I learnt the hard way.

I wanted to moonlight with one remote sales job for a Canadian startup.

Na so them tell me to download time tracker (for monitoring). Work is 6 days a week (60 hours PW shocked) and 50% of the pay package is commission based.

I wanted to use your company to make monthly fuel money and you wan monitor my life on top how much?

I no do biko cheesy
That time track track everything, even you do mistake they watch YouTube while working it would pick, or you use company time to do another iterview, it would pick and they would politely ask you, if you just do mistake lie, o ti lo niyen o.

The best is to have two laptop, one for remote one for your personal.

I did one job like that with tracker, my salary no dey ever complete, until I asked and they just showed me the number of hours I have logged in to work.

I once rejected May & Baker offer in 2014. I will never forget October 8, 2014, in my life!

That day, I was supposed to resume at M&B and a construction company.

Prior to the October 8 resumption, M&B told me I was going to be posted to the east, with a car attached to the offer as Medical Sales Rep, and that it would be contractual. Because I had never been to the east, I instead went and resumed at the construction coy here in Lagos and didn't take up the employment letter at M&B. I was ill-advised. It turned out to be the biggest mistake of my life and I am still regretting it till date!

After some years, I went back there to submit my CV, but didn't get called up.
May&Baker is a beautiful company. You miss BIG TIME

I didn't resume the following day.

Yes, it was an offer to work abroad but before i accepted i got a better one here in Nigeria. The tax and cost of living abroad was going to wipe out the earnings at the time. I saved more working and living in Nigeria.
