Lol u guys... Pls..any job you get, take it.... A target like 150million per year is nothing at all..trust me. Although no company expects one marketer to pull that, it is only meant to push you to work.... But come to think of it, how much do you think is the yearly target for Dangote, Globacom and MTN? And that is how it starts...when you begin to believe things are possible. Sending you to the north bla bla bla is not that bad...the road to success isn't a bed of roses....why do you think NYSC gives us a rough start? To prepare us for the real job. Can you imagine the opportunities for you in the long run? Many times we admire MDs and CEOs..forgetting thatcmany of them paid the price just to prove that they can make the impossible possible. Did you check out how MKO Abiola started?... My dear, working in a company is not about earnong 600K per month...it is ablout learning their business secrets and pulling off your own stunts in the future. Especially when you make a name for yourself in the market 2 Likes |

After my Youth Service some years ago in Lagos, I attended the Nigeria Bar Association (NBA) Meeting at the Ikeja Branch. Newcomers were asked to introduce themselves, stating name and their office address. I came to my turn and I mentioned the fact that I don't work anywhere yet. After the meeting, a one of the Senior Lawyers met me and asked if I was interested in working in his firm, I said yes. We arranged a meeting for that evening. He asked me a lot of questions about my personal and academic background. He also grilled me on issues in Corporate Governance (which I was not too conversant about at that time; That encounter sparked my interest in it). He offered me the job for a monthly pay of N30,000 (Thirty Thousand Naira). That was 2007 [I would cost me about N37,000 to transport myself to the Office for a month, excluding feeding and accommodation]. He bragged that he was offering more than most Law Firms in Lagos were paying young inexperienced lawyers. He told me that in the real sense, I should be the one paying him for giving me the rare opportunity to learn under His Eminence. 1st Day at Work I resumed work the following Monday at 7:00am. He arrived shortly after 8:00am and gave me some pleadings to draft. He went out and returned to the office around 4:00pm. I submitted the task I was assigned and sat at my desk. By 6:00pm I went to tell Oga, His Eminence that I was closing for the day. I flared "What nonsense is this? How can you close at this time? Don't think you will be closing early like this everyday!!!!". That since it was my first day at work, he will overlook my sins, but it must not repeat itself ever again. I thanked him and left. I felt humiliated and exploited even. 2nd Day at Work - Resignation Day! I resumed 7:00am as usual. Oga walked in a few minutes after 8:00am. Instructed me to write some letters to valued clients. He left and returned shortly after 4:00pm. I went to his office and submitted the draft letters. As he was reviewing them, I told him I was leaving. He started flaring up again, but before he went far, I made it clear that I did not want to work for him again. He immediately became remorseful and asked me why. I listed a few: the terms of the employment was unfair; he was too harsh; I was not too desperate; God will provide another better job for me . . . He started pleading and begging me. He even promised to increase my salary to N50,000. I said no, thanked him for 'believing' in me and I walked out a happy man, with my dignity intact! Prologue A few days latter, I was offered a FAR BETTER JOB by the Ogun State Government. I still maintain close contact with My Learned Senior, and I keep him updated of my progress in life. Lessons Learnt 1. No man controls your destiny. That is the exclusive preserve of God! (well, except you decide to mess it up yourself) 2. It does not cost God anything to bless a man; 3. When you have the opportunity to help someone and you neglect to do it, God will raise help for that person from another place, and you will not share the glory; 4. Allowing desperation to control your choices will only lead you into slavery and despair; 5. The fact that things are not working now does not mean nothing will ever work! 23 Likes 5 Shares |

Abt five yrs ago having just finish secondary sch wit no admission yet i decided to look 4 wrk to do. I got one wit a distributing firm, which has to do wit selling soap. First problem i encountered was that there was no means of transport (normally they do provide bus wit music to market d product). We were expected to walk d lenght and breadth of d town to market. Secondly, i tried the market to sell to wholesalers only to discover that they also have d product at a even cheaper rate that was wen i realised they were serious when they told us our target are the final consumer. After suffering 4 hrs wit nothing to show 4 it and no salary (only commission), i carry there kaya go meet them. Remembering d stress i went through b4 even getting d job (SHM), had to carry my papa there to b my guarantor. |

tonychristopher: The north except for the occasional insecurity and civil unrest during elections is one of the cheapest places to live and earn a living in Nigeria. Forget the stereotypes you hear, you get almost everything i.e foodstuffs fresh and at extremely cheap prices . Housing, feeding and moving around would be the least thing you would have to worry about as it would take less than 25 percent of your earnings living in most northern cities. 1 Like |
