The greed for power by tigray elites will soon ruin the lovely country.

Y'all TRULY need to read often! It will cost you less than 3 hours to get a holistic view of Ethiopian politics and Abul Ahmed's sin.

It can't be proved because education hadn't gained enough grounds in Africa at the time most of them were born. If you go to some villages, you'd see very old men and women still walking unaided.

If u can't prove it shut up and allow people that have proof talk.

Hello my people of nairaland, so many of you guys know me here,but really most don't know me when it comes to reality.

There is something bothering my mind and I seriously need advice from wiser people,by the grace of God I will be a graduate next year
(Electrical and Electronic Engineering) in one of the universities in north,but seriously for some times now have been having some deep taughts of how hard life might be after school, because honestly I don't have anybody, no connection nothing nothing.

So recently, a friend of mine whose dad is an army,came to our school then on sighting me he just started calling me GENERAL,at first I was not taking it serious coz I never for once taught of joining army,but the man was damn serious,just today I saw his text msg and in his texts he seriously want me to join on a short service style, he was even assuring me of how easy he was going to make it happen, like am
seriously confuse!!!!

please has anybody gone for the short service training before?

what are the requirements?

NOTE AM 21YRS

so, i needed your advice all because i know there are wiser people here,God bless you all

The boy wey dey call u general why hin no join?
If at all you u want to join, someone has already told u the path to follow, DSS, graduate after 6 months as Lieutenant and have a progressive career.

If u are not risk averse, and you don't mind dying, give it a shot. You never know, you might be a great general someday. But don't forget behave differently and treat civilians well.

My elder brother lasted 3 months

I hope you last longer



Modified:
Yes he was killed barely 3 months after he completed his training.
Bokoharam killed him.
His friend told me after so much persuasion.
Till date, the Nigerian Army has not called to inform my family.
My elder brother practically died for nothing. I'm not even sure he was paid for the 3 months.
After going from one barracks to another here in Lagos, with officers avoiding me like a plague, I was later told to travel to Maidugri for his belongings ( you can imagine )
One officer was saying that we should go to the senator from my state to help us get his benefits ( If any ) meaning NO STRUCTURE, NO CLEAR DIRECTION...

You need to create a thread on this.

Hmm to me this story get k leg o.. although we all know 2many unprofessional officers dey inside the NPF but to me this tory sound somehow o..3 officers beat up lady Cos she dey record them, how did your son incurs a debt of 18mill cos of police harassment and lastly while didn't you file a case against them after you were freed.. cos the broken phone na evidence 1, the sprained elbow na evidence 2 and your dislocated jaw na evidence 3 of assault.. sueing the NPF or heading straight to police Command to lodge an official complain would have been the best but u did nothing ..OK o

Obviously, u never witnessed NP in action.

The say a Nigerian leader accepts blame is the day rapture go happen.

NovesaTillie:
I moved to this city because of my new job and my neighbors have been very homely and helpful to me especially the ones next flat,a young man and his wife with a kid . They have been very kind to me, sometimes when I get home late from work his wife calls me to join them for dinner and hangouts. M
My issue now is I am beginning to grow fond of the man because of how gentlemanly he treats his wife and how dotting he is of their son. He ticks all the qualities that I dream of and sometimes I just feel like inviting him over to my place when his wife is out to tempt him a little
What can I do to stop this feeling?
I don't want someone else man or to destroy a cute family

Please don't insult me. I am in a relationship though very young relationship. I'm just human admiring someone else.

Sometimes we don't have control over what happens. You need to get deliberate. Restrict your contact with them in a way that will not raise alarm. And try to spend more time with your own guy. Finally, try to imagine the outcome should you go ahead with your thoughts. Let that thought guide you.

Good day, please, i will need your advice on this two options available to me at the moment. I am a graduate of Accounting in a state of dilema on which of these two options to choose. I have an offer to work as teller in a bank with #80k plus as salary and also to work in an Accounting/Auditing firm with a take home pay of #50k with an option of enrolling for ICAN in the next diet. I am confused on which one to go for career wise. Your advice needed urgently!

Teller na job?

ayomilore:
I created a thread sometimes ago about a recall from my former place of work, a bigger firm in the same industry with better pay. I thereafter left the company i was working with then though with a short notice and i forfeited almost half month salary and the little savings i had with them.
I was not confirmed as the time i left so i felt i'm safe but to my surprise the HR was calling me that i should not forget the balance i have to pay them in lieu of notice, this is so frustrating and the last time he called i had to shout on him to stop disturbing me. I tried to get across to few friends in the company and they confirmed that HR is just doing his own bidding as the MD is more preoccupied with more important issues than my case. Please is there any danger in this, note they are aware in my current organization how i left the company. Do i need to be worried for anything.

Thanks.

Did you breach any agreements in terms of resignation? Are you still owing them money? If not, talk to a lawyer let the lawyer forward a letter to the company concerning the harassments.

What aspect of tech are you into?

Data and frontend web.

Wait, do you want them to come and comment on this thread?

Why do you want to change from marketing? There is no skill that is more in demand than sales related skill. Neither is there any skill that pay more than sales. If you must acquire more skills, Salesforce and digital marketing are your friends.

B4 you can see 1 vacancy in any tech field, you would have seen 3 sales related ones. I am not talking about GNLD. There are sales persons that earn 7 figures in Nigeria. And the money wey una dey see for field alone na blood money. Don't be distracted by tech noise. I am into tech and I know what I am saying.

Bankyshinani:
No,they never acknowledged that... The salary is 90k

Does this place, the enthanol company allow you to grow career wise? How has there salary increase been. Is there prospect for upward mobility? Etc.

I know say una dey see money well well for filling station. If you canbe sure of saving some reasonable money within two years in filling station, pls stay there. But if it's just another survival mechanism, go and endure the ethanol company.

Penflame:
Good day!

I am a graduate who just passed out of service last month, I got a Graphic/Web Designer job with an airline ticketing agency in my state of deployment while still in service. According to my employer, the company is just coming up (I saw "Established in 1992" outside the office) and so he pleaded to be paying me ₦20,000 per month. I agreed, because I wasn't done with service and also because I need an extra source of income.

Fast forward to month end, the man paid me ₦15,000 without remorse, he only said the company is not generating much income yet. He paid the same amount the following month, and I complained to the Admin Manager, I don't know if she informed him.

On the third month, he paid ₦17,000 and was even expecting me to come and thank him for the extra ₦2,000.

This is a company that I have laboured so much for just within the 3 months of working there. I designed a website for the company, even though the Director refused to fund the domain, I made sure the company is visible and accessible in social media networks, I put the company's location up in Google map.

He was even giving me tasks that doesn't relate to my role to do, tasks like switching on the generator, typing correspondences and documents, etc.

Just early this month, I worked up to the Director in his office and requested for an offer letter (at least, that will show he really employed me and I will be able to see my job role and how much he will be paying me), he promised to work on it and he has not done anything about it up till now.

Now, I am done with service and the whole thing is becoming worse in the office, but still he will be saying he wants me and my skills.

Please what should I do? Because I am really getting fed up.

To slap you dey hungry me. You dey work with IT skills for 20k? You no well o!

Bankyshinani:
I am a graduate of chemical engineering. I have some years experience as a chemical engineer in ethanol refining process and as well the beverage industry. So,I was sacked by the ethanol refinery due to something I know nothing about and I am presently working as a petrol station manager which I worked 2-days on and 2days off shift and earning a salary of 90k. Now ,the ethanol refinery just called me that they still need my service and the work routine is 2days morning,2days night and 2days off... I am to make the decision between now and monday....
That's why I need urgent advice from wiser and more enlightened people on this platform....
Please,I need a fast response because i don't want to make a decision that I will later regret

Filling station mananger (though you fit dey see money there) does not constitutes a tangible career path. By the way, have they acknowledged that they were wrong for sacking you and ready to pay damages? How much is your salary in this ethanol company?

Shop24seven11:
Hello people.

Urm, actually, I started coding a little over a year ago, even though I started building websites with WordPress and blogger as early as 2014.

At this point, I am deep into frontend development. I work with JavaScript and its frameworks React.js and Next.js. I am fairly good at frontend development and hope to dive into backend development by next year.

Now, I recently came across the blockchain development and web 3 discussion on twitter and somehow, I picked interest in it, however, I didn't go further with learning it because I had so much on my hands and I was hoping to at least, start earning with frontend before concentrating on any other technology.

At the same time, I feel like I'm missing out on a lot by not diving into blockchain and web 3 development at this point. I mean the opportunities and everything. But I'm also afraid that I may fall into another endless loop of learning and take time before I am fit for a job opportunity in blockchain development. I don't know how long that will take.

My problem now is,

should I stick to advancing my skills in frontend and proceed to backend by next year, at least, at this point, I can comfortably search for opportunities in frontend development.

Or,

Should I dive into blockchain? Would I be moving too fast? How long might it take before I'm grounded enough in the technology to get a job?

Please help me out...

If you were starting out, I would have advised you to go for blockchain. But now, I would advise you to continue with web development.

I remember when I started. I started with data science. After I finished learning, no opportunity coming. I dived into front end. It was becoming a thug of war to remain relevant in both. My front end skills wasn't exceptional. And my data science was average too. I was caught in a loop. It took me time to focus on data science.

No matter what you choose, try to be good at it. I don't think a blockchain developer earn more than a frontend of similar experience in Nigeria. Especially if you are up to date in the latest technologies.

airsaylongcome:
Less saturated would be Data Science. But you go fit withstand am? Are you very good with Statistics? And are you willing to go hungry for a while? Cos short term DS no dey pay for Naija. Would pay crazy long term

Getting saturated already. Some stupid offers these days. My advice to him to go for web development. It never gets old, especially if he could keep up with the dynamic new libraries popping up.

Bro in Naija you are all in one. Naija employer want u to be UI/UX and a developer.

The site is nice. How long have you been coding?

tollyboy5:
Php is easy to understand but I'll prefer nodejs. I do php because its easy

Why would you prefer NodeJS?

Lol. You nid to grow some balls. In the end nothing anybody fit use anybody do. As them dey try set u up, set them up too. Go police station go write statement to this effect. Find a way to call the company and record your conversation. And live ur life. When they hit, you hit them back. There are billion ways you could make them bleed. Begin to discuss with a lawyer to this effect. Nobody get the monopoly of madness.

I don chop two months salary of a company after I left there b4. Because dem dey try to prove madness. Company wey no follow any govt law. Ordinary CAMA and industrial laws dem no follow. Won dey form commando.

Opexzy:
Yeah you guessed right...
I currently occupy software architect and software engineer roles in my current jobs

If it's these role they pay u for, go for it. Substitutes dey scarce. No matter what nothing dey fit use u do. And to change job no hard.
