CareerRe: My Experience With Going Back To My Former Workplace. by purples25(op): 3:48pm On Nov 27, 2019
Fast forward till today, i was given another deal on Monday, i was told to come on Wednesday to do the job.That same Monday, i was told by some teachers there that there wasn't supposed to be any negotiation that i should be doing those things for free,that we are family,im not a real artist. Still, i was expected to come today and do the art stuff.I still came since the deal was still on and the boss hadn't actually said i wasn't recieving payment today.

I went there and guess what, the proprietress was with those two teachers that said those things to me on monday. She asked me why i came to visit, as if there was no deal today. They all just kept quiet and ignored me. I gathered courage and asked " how about the art job and the deal i was supposed to be paid for? " The proprietress just said there was nothing. They could have called me to tell me but no, it was sweeter to have me arrive, look like a beggar, ignore me and then tell me bye in high snobbish voices as i was leaving. Why did they humiliate me?
CareerRe: My Experience With Going Back To My Former Workplace. by purples25(op):
I was afraid to rock the boat i was nice to everyone, to make up for my many efficiency defects. They even complained of how docile i was at times.

The time reached that my boss was unable to cope with my other deficiencies despite my attempts to make it up. She took up what i told her about leaving next year and said no, i have to leave by june/july, it would not be convenient for her if i leave by december.

Okay, i left.

They said i should be coming to visit, all is well. My family was against that. I was warned that i might be humiliated but i still went to the school to visit.

The proprietress gave me a deal that I should negotiate with them and continue doing artworks for them. I was very happy. I came back to the school and did some artwork , got paid and left..

I got a job last year at a private school. I was given the position of a receptionist. To be fair to this narration, i wasn't a very good receptionist because though I tried my best, what i studied had nothing to do with my job. I did my best to get the hang of the job, but i constantly forgot things i was supposed to remember, though i always did the basics.

I did my best to make up for my defects. Being a nursery and primary school i noticed they needed help with their artworks and since I am good at drawing, anytime there was no work on my table i did a lot of artwork for events or which the school needed for decor. They appreciated it so much and gave me a lot to do which unbelievably the parents were told their kids did it all.

I tried to have a good relationship with my boss and all. For her bday we did a large card and i was the one that crafted it in two days. I even told my boss about academic issues i had and how i planned to go back and fix everything next year.

FrLukas:
as a writer, you need to understand that not everyone will dig your books.

lots of people love to be spoonfed every single detail. it's the world we are in. people are too lazy to exert their minds. that's why most youths don't read anymore. they'd rather hang out on social media all day watching video clips and pouring through pictures.

a good book doesn't explain everything. it carries the reader along by making the reader do a little bit of work. that's one of the best ways to keep your readers interested otherwise, the book will become bogged down with too many details.

stick to your writing mode. I'm sure those who will appreciate it will.
thank you for the explanation, i will keep writing. I appreciate your input.

To be a woman in Nigeria is the hardest job on earth.

-You dress sexy, they call you “ashawoo”
-You get raped and murdered, they call you “slay queen”
-you go missing for weeks, they say you’re taking “lamba”
- you go to club, police raid the place, leave the men and arrest you.
- you keep to yourself, they call you snub
- you friendly, they call you loose girl.

I swear the way our society is setup, the Nigerian woman cannot never win. We need to love and support our women.




A 17 year old child has gone missing for over two weeks and I’m extremely saddened with what the people are saying. I’m really disappointed with the way most Nigerians think and behave.

Later they’ll crawl from their wretched caves to beg for money.
said it all.

How much phone sef??! Was it worth it??!... All these embarrassments for a bloody phone... Smh.
although i dont support what they did. Do you know how painful it is to just see your phone is missing? Even if the phone is 15k , that kind of money is hard to scrape up bros. Very hard, you'll sweat to see it. Somebody will just take it and say you should go work/sweat again and buy another one...... It feels as painful as what they did to him. You just turn and your hard earned property is gone. Haba.

its ridiculous to say someone does not own her age because her face looks old. Old face, same age. Someone of 17 can definately carry that look, not every 17 year old is fresh looking.

I pray she is found.

if her face does not look 17 to you, let me explain, not every girl grows up with that very girly, very youthful face. Some girls from the start have matured faces, so understand that some are young but dont look like kiddies. Besides, this is how a lot of girls will look without makeup, hair styles and skin treatment. Stop using that your useless beauty measurement to guess her age. I hate nigerian guys attitude. Most of you are not more physically attractive sef.

LiteratureSome Problems I Noticed That I Have With My Writings On Nairaland. by purples25(op): 8:58am On Nov 26, 2019
I'm here for some opinions and correction/criticism.
So, im used to reading novels. I loved writing since childhood. I excelled at English language and Literature all through my earlier years. Everywhere i went to, people understood, marvelled at and enjoyed reading what i wrote even as a child. This explanation is here so you can understand what is confusing me on nl.

Some readers here claim they dont understand the stories. I have read stuff by Chimamanda, Helon Habila and co. and they do not always explain everything they write. The meaning does not have to be explained but as it stands here i have to write with no ambiguity in my work. Could it be the way i write?

Also, i write collections of short stories and people cannot understand that a collection of short stories is a combination of totally different stories on their own. Once a guy said the stories are too different and abrupt. How?

Lastly,is my writing not suited to African taste? I noticed people like romance and my focus isn't always there .

do we still have animals in our zoos?? grin pray say some ppl never eat some of the animals and sell the remainder for blackmarket to chinese merchants and as for art galleries since when have u seen the average nigerian loving art grin grin.
see places to go o, that will make life more interesting. As for the zoos, i just feel bad for the animals, lion go turn to cat. We need to widen our scope as people, i love art and will try to see more of it. Seriously you no longer feel like you're in a box of 'dress up eat and come home/work' when you discover the vast array of things you can do. There are beautiful places to play even board games, see fine things etc. How about reading novels, talking about them, drawing each other on paper, going hiking together,etc. Anyway, these are just ideas o.

like i said before its because of the poverty level in nigeria that ppl are always interested in filling their stomach grin.for here chicken is cheap and most ppl u see in KFC over here are mostly carpenters,drivers and other blue collar workers who are just returning from the day"s job and looking for a bite in the fastfood joint grin.but sadly in nigeria when u go to mr biggs,kfc, and others u regarded as a bigboy grin and when u buy fried chicken dem go dey hail u dat u dey enjoy grin grin grin.for here chicken its like u eating garri and groundnut grin.na im be the most common meat over here.the one dat is a little costly is fish.
honestly i always hated myself and other nigerians for this mentality. Imagine, people will be dressing like they are going to see the queen to enter ordinary eatery, including me. It irks me, somewhere that should be so ordinary, you are a rich man once you step in. If you dress very casual and laid back then you are a wannabe trying to fit in .

Do we have gardens or natural spots in nigeria? grin grin grin everywhere has been done with cement and tiles nau.the only pleasure spots we have in nigeria are the fastfood joints and as for naija ladies hassling guys for sharwama ,chicken and suya u cant blame them since hunger is real in naija.maybe if food in naija was much cheaper and affordable then chicken and sharwama for no dey freak them cheesy.
in abuja theres millenium park. People enter for free. There are places, but just like nigerian films, people think couples fun is only good and classy when both of you sit at a table eating rice, salad and chicken.

what about art galleries, what about places you can go, just spend no more than hundred or two hundred, cant they look at animals in the zoo,laugh and talk, joke, go home. Are there no places than restaurants ? Na wa o

Nigerians: *criticise dark skin and praise fair skin*

Also Nigerians: *Shocked and appalled when person (especially young and impressionable) lightens their skin*

Lol smh
I tell you. Its when they stop treating dark skinned girls as low rate and light skinned girls as goddesses, thats when this bleaching will stop. Yes i also feel that we women should not be desperate for love and have good self esteem but what is good self esteem when you go out and they are pointedly showing that the light skinned girl is above those that are dark, even deliberately so the dark girls will know their place. Its not fair jare and they expect girls not to bleach ! Who doesn't want a good treatment like that, who doesn't want people to worship her ass cuz she is fair. As if a dark girl is a condemned product then they will come here crying that girls are bleaching.

we are all human o, i wont blame those that bleach.
