What happened to the previous people you employed?

If you are fit, apply within.

Honestly, at this point, I don't think you necessarily need to employ an outsider for this role.

Considering the salary, accommodation, feeding, and the level of responsibility you're expecting the person to handle, I think it may be better to first look within your family.

You could consider a trusted cousin, younger sibling, your mother's brother's child, your mother's sister's child, or even someone from your father's side of the family who is responsible and willing to learn.

The advantage is that you are more likely to have an existing level of trust and accountability. You can also train the person, involve them in the business gradually, and help them grow with the business.

My concern with bringing in a complete stranger is that you're not just paying ₦50,000. You're also providing accommodation and food, while giving the person access to the day-to-day running of your business. That is a lot of responsibility and exposure for someone you don't know.

And honestly, you shouldn't build your business on the assumption that every employee will steal. There are honest people out there. However, when someone has access to your cash, stock, customers, supplies, and business operations, you need proper controls regardless of who the person is.

So rather than looking for someone who is simply willing to accept ₦50k, I would first ask:

“Who in my family can I trust, train, and develop into someone who can eventually take responsibility for this business?”

You may discover that the person you need is already within your family.

And if you eventually decide to employ someone outside the family, make sure you have proper documentation, clear responsibilities, inventory records, daily reporting, financial controls, and accountability systems in place.

Trust is important, but systems are what protect a business.

Bellarod05:
So 50k with feeding and accommodation and you still talking about stealing,Go to open market and steal just 1k and see how they will embarrass you...

Little drop of water is better than a dry land...OGA pack well let see Road.

URGENT: VENDOR RECOMMENDATION NEEDED

I'm looking for recommendations for a reliable vendor that specializes in asset tagging. If you know any companies that provide this service or have worked with a vendor you can recommend, kindly share their details.

This is quite urgent, so any leads or referrals would be greatly appreciated.

Please contact Tunde directly on +234 803 911 1195.

Thank you for your assistance!

Honestly, you don't have to throw away 8 years of audio engineering just because you want to move into Tech. In fact, your experience can give you an advantage if you choose the right path.

Since you already understand digital audio, software, signal processing, DAWs, plugins, frequencies and troubleshooting, I would look into areas such as:

🎧 Audio Technology / Audio Software
☁️ Cloud & Media Technology
🎙️ Podcast/Streaming Technology
🤖 AI Audio / Speech Technology
💻 Technical Support for Audio/Media Software
🔊 AV Technology & Systems

You can still learn Azure, but don't necessarily approach it as "I'm abandoning audio and starting from zero." Think of it as adding cloud skills to what you already know.

For example, you could eventually work with companies building **music platforms, streaming services, podcast platforms, AI voice tools, audio applications or media infrastructure.

And please don't let the fact that you're not good at maths discourage you. Not every tech career requires advanced mathematics.

Your biggest mistake would be thinking that your previous 8 years are irrelevant because you're entering Tech.

They aren't. Your goal should be to combine your old knowledge with your new skills.

You don't need to start over.

You need to build on what you've already built. 🚀

Kennyfide:
Hello guys.

I'm exceptionally good in digital audio mixing and mastering. I've studied hard and I have about 8 years of experience in it, I've got great ears for sounds and its frequencies. It's frankly my interest and passion. Now I want to take a path in Tech, and I don't know which to choose that'll resonate with my high knowledge of audio mixing and mastering at the same time being remote worthy so my years of learning and effort in digital audio engineering doesn't seem sort of not being useful in tech career. I've taken an interest in cloud computing (Microsoft Azure), but having to start afresh away from my current profession and passion that I've put in my best is what disturbs me.

Please guys in the Tech field, I'll truly appreciate your suggestions and guidance.

PS: I'm not good in maths.

😂 SOME RECRUITERS NEED TO BE ARRESTED BY THE ASSOCIATION OF HUMAN CONSCIENCE! 😭🤣

So, a recruiter reached out to me recently and said they wanted us to advertise a job vacancy.

Me: Okay, no problem. Kindly send the job description, location, requirements and salary.

Recruiter: We need a graduate with 2–3 years of experience.

Me: Okay, sounds good. Salary?

Recruiter ₦50,000–₦60,000 monthly.

😭😭😭

I had to check my phone battery because I thought my phone was malfunctioning.

EXCUSE ME, SIR? FIFTY THOUSAND NAIRA? FOR A GRADUATE? WITH EXPERIENCE? 😭

Oga, are you recruiting an employee or looking for someone to sponsor your business with their suffering? 😭🤣

Transport fare alone will finish that salary before the employee finishes saying "Good morning, sir."

And you people will still write:

✅ Must be hardworking
✅ Must be passionate
✅ Must be able to work under pressure
✅ Must be willing to go the extra mile
✅ Must have excellent communication skills

EXTRA MILE WITH WHICH TRANSPORT MONEY, PLEASE? 😭😭

The funniest part is when they add " _We are looking for someone who is not motivated by money_ ."

Ahhhh! So what should motivate the person? The office ceiling fan? The company's vision and mission statement? 😭🤣 Oh please 🥺

Please, dear recruiters and employers, DON'T YOU PEOPLE HAVE CONSCIENCE? 😭

I understand that businesses are struggling, but employees are also human beings. They eat, pay rent, transport themselves and have responsibilities.

If your business can only afford ₦50k–₦60k, please be realistic about the responsibilities and experience you're demanding.

You cannot be looking for a graduate, accountant, receptionist, social media manager, cleaner, customer service representative and occasional prayer warrior ALL IN ONE PERSON FOR ₦50K! 😭🤣

At that point, you're not recruiting staff.

YOU'RE LOOKING FOR A CO-FOUNDER WHO DOESN'T KNOW THEY OWN SHARES IN THE COMPANY! 😂😂😂

Please, let's fear God small. Even suffering has a salary expectation. 🤝😭

Recruiters in the house, come and defend yourselves. I promise we won't beat anybody. 😂🏃‍♀️

Good night 💤

NIGERIAN POLITICS: WHILE OTHERS ARE BUSY WITH BANTER, APC SEEMS TO UNDERSTAND THE POWER OF ADVERTISING.

One thing that has caught my attention is how visible APC and Tinubu are across the media space. From jingles on radio and television to newspaper advertisements, online platforms, and social media, the messaging is difficult to ignore.

Meanwhile, a lot of the political conversation around other parties seems to revolve around verbal exchanges, criticism, counterattacks, and banter on Twitter, in the news, and across other media platforms.

And this is where marketing becomes an interesting subject.

If you understand advertising, you will know that visibility, repetition, positioning, and brand recall matter.

You don't necessarily have to convince everyone in one advertisement. Sometimes, the objective is simply to ensure that whenever people think about a particular subject, your name is already on their minds.

That is the power of consistent media presence.

When people repeatedly see a candidate's name, hear campaign jingles, encounter campaign messages, and notice the candidate being discussed across different platforms, it can strengthen familiarity and recognition. This is a well-known principle in marketing.

However, visibility alone does not guarantee votes or electoral victory. Voters also consider the economy, security, governance, personal experiences, party structures, and the credibility of competing candidates.

My observation is simple: political parties should pay attention not only to what they say about their opponents but also to how effectively they communicate their own message.

Because in politics, as in business, you can have a great product and still struggle if nobody hears your message.

The question is: Are political parties competing to win arguments in the media, or are they competing to win the attention and trust of voters?

Those are two very different strategies. 👀

🏃‍♂️ WHY WORKING OUT MATTERS IN NIGERIA TODAY

Working out is more important than ever in Nigeria today—not just for looking good, but for staying healthy, mentally strong, productive and resilient.

With the increasing cost of healthcare, long working hours, sedentary jobs, traffic stress, poor sleep patterns and the tendency to spend hours sitting with our phones or computers, physical activity has become something we should take seriously.

1. It protects your health

Regular exercise helps improve cardiovascular fitness, strengthen muscles and bones, manage body weight and reduce the risk of several lifestyle-related health problems.

2. It helps manage stress

Nigeria can be stressful—work pressure, business challenges, traffic, financial responsibilities and everyday uncertainty can take a toll. Exercise can be a healthy way to release tension and improve your mood.

3. It improves productivity

Exercise isn't necessarily taking time away from work. A healthier and more energetic body can help you concentrate better, maintain energy and perform more effectively.

4. It is an investment in your future

You can spend money on clothes, gadgets, entertainment and other things, but your body is the one asset you carry everywhere. Taking care of it now can pay off significantly later in life.

5. You don't need an expensive gym

Working out doesn't have to mean paying for a premium gym membership. Brisk walking, jogging, running, squats, push-ups, skipping and bodyweight exercises can all provide meaningful physical activity.

6. It supports your mental wellbeing

Exercise can help improve mood and sleep and can be a valuable part of maintaining mental wellbeing. It doesn't replace professional help when that's needed, but it can be an important part of a healthy routine.

THE NIGERIAN REALITY

We often say, "I don't have time to exercise." But sometimes the real issue is that we haven't made our health a priority.

You don't need to spend two hours in the gym every day. Start with 20–30 minutes. Walk. Stretch. Jog. Do some bodyweight exercises. Dance. Play football. Just move.

Your body is the vehicle carrying you through your career, business, family responsibilities and ambitions.

Don't wait until your body forces you to pay attention to it. Start taking care of yourself while you still can. 💪🏽

FSBoperator:
Wasn't it this guy that revealed that Abacha's last moments were with one young Ibo girl and that the same girl was the younger sister to Abacha's girlfriend and that the young girl had been able to leave the villa and Abuja after noticing that Abacha was not responsive in bed?

His narrative dispelled the Indian pr0stitute narrative giving Abacha a poisoned apple.

He said in that article published by Sahara Reporters that he had tracked the young pharmacy graduate to Lagos and arrested her and took her into intereogation.

At least he isn't denying he granted an interview to Sahara Reporters.

So what part of what SR published is he now claiming to be fabricated and inaccurate ?

He should state in his law suit which part of the interview that SR misconstrued instead of demanding an outright retraction by SR.

I am not sure that SR went to seek his own narrative of an issue long forgotten and out of public interest.

Rather I believe he approached SR for the interview in what appears as an initial publicity stunt to promote a book he was authoring on the matter.

The DSS did not like the fact that he was exposing an ongoing investigation and I am sure DSS won't want their former and retired agents and officers running their mouths to the public on cases they were directly investigating or aware of.

Which case are they investigating?

I’m really sorry you’re going through this. And honestly, I don’t think you made a foolish decision by resigning. You made a decision based on information that looked reasonably reliable at the time. The problem is that the TESCOM timeline changed, and now you’re bearing the cost of that delay.

But I would change one thing immediately:

### Stop treating TESCOM as your only plan.

Until you have an actual resumption date and appointment that requires you to report, TESCOM should be Plan B, not the thing that determines whether you eat this month.

You need a bridge-income strategy that allows you to survive now without making it difficult to leave when TESCOM eventually calls.

### 1. Look for work that doesn't require a long commitment

Don't focus only on "jobs" that require employment contracts. Look for things you can start and stop quickly:

- Event usher/waiter jobs
- Catering assistant
- Shop attendant
- Inventory/stock-taking jobs
- Warehouse assistant
- POS/retail attendant
- School lesson teacher/home tutor
- Examination invigilation
- Data collection/survey jobs
- Promotion/brand activation jobs
- Temporary administrative work
- Weekend event jobs
- Cleaning jobs
- Dispatch/rider assistant jobs
- Freelance marking/lesson preparation
- Short-term factory/production work

The important thing is cash flow, not whether the job sounds impressive.

If someone offers you ₦5,000–₦10,000 for a day's work, don't dismiss it because you're waiting for a government teaching position. Several days of that can keep food on the table while you're waiting.

### 2. I would actually reconsider private-school teaching—but be transparent.

You don't necessarily have to tell a school, "I can only stay for two weeks."

Instead, ask schools whether they have:

- Substitute teacher positions
- Part-time teaching
- Weekend teaching
- Lesson-teacher positions
- Temporary teacher vacancies
- Relief teacher positions

You can also tell them:

> "I am available immediately and can commit fully, but I am currently awaiting the conclusion of an external recruitment process whose resumption date has not yet been communicated."

Some schools may reject you. That's okay. Let them make that decision. Don't reject yourself before applying.

### 3. Use your teaching qualification to make money independently

If you are qualified to teach, don't limit yourself to schools.

Go directly to parents.

For example, offer:

Home lessons — Primary/Secondary students

- After-school lessons
- Exam preparation
- WAEC/NECO preparation
- Holiday lessons
- Assignment support
- Weekend lessons

Even 3 students paying ₦20,000–₦30,000 monthly can give you ₦60,000–₦90,000 while you wait.

And unlike a school job, you can structure the lessons around your eventual TESCOM resumption.

### 4. Don't sit at home waiting for vacancies online.

This is especially important.

If you're broke, spending six hours every day applying for jobs online can become psychologically destructive because you're putting in effort without seeing immediate results.

I'd use a physical + online approach.

Every morning, contact/visit:

- Schools
- Event centres
- Hotels
- Restaurants
- Catering companies
- Supermarkets
- Warehouses
- Recruitment agencies
- Churches/event planners
- Small businesses

And ask specifically:

"Do you have any temporary, daily-paid or part-time work available?"

That wording matters.

You're not necessarily looking for a permanent career right now.

You're looking for income while waiting.

### 5. Set yourself a 30-day survival target.

Don't think:

"What am I going to do if TESCOM doesn't resume?"

That question is too frightening.

Think:

"How do I generate enough money to survive the next 30 days?"

For example, if your immediate minimum survival requirement is ₦150,000:

₦150,000 ÷ 30 = ₦5,000/day

That makes the problem look different.

You don't necessarily need one job paying ₦150k immediately.

You could have:

- ₦5k event work × 8 days = ₦40k
- 2 private students = ₦40k
- Temporary work = ₦40k
- Weekend work = ₦30k

Suddenly you've created ₦150k.

The numbers are illustrative, but this is the mindset I'd encourage.

### 6. And please don't borrow heavily because you're frustrated.

This is the point where people sometimes make desperate decisions—loan apps, high-interest borrowing, betting, dubious online schemes, selling valuable assets cheaply.

I'd strongly avoid that unless it's genuinely necessary for food, accommodation or another immediate essential.

You're not necessarily in a permanent financial crisis. You're in a cash-flow gap caused by an uncertain transition.

Treat it that way.

### Most importantly

Don't feel ashamed.

You resigned because you believed you were moving into something better. The opportunity hasn't materialised on the expected timeline. That doesn't mean you're a failure.

But now you need to take control of the uncertainty.

My recommendation would be:

TESCOM remains open → find flexible income immediately → build 1–2 private teaching clients → continue applying for temporary work → don't make another major financial decision until you have actual TESCOM resumption information.

And if I were in your position, I would give myself the next 7 days to aggressively pursue cash-generating work, rather than spending another month waiting..

ayoadekunle79:
Please, I need advice and guidance. I resigned from my factory job in August, hoping to resume at Lagos State TESCOM in September, based on information from people employed last year. Unfortunately, we were only invited for documentation late last month, and we still don’t know when we will resume.

Since then, I’ve been broke, frustrated, and struggling to survive. I can’t even apply for another job or take up a private school teaching job because most schools require me to stay until the end of the term, and I don’t know when TESCOM will call us to resume.

I’ve been searching for daily jobs, including event waiter jobs, just to survive, but nothing has come through lately.

Please, what advice do you have for me? I’m honestly tired and just want to get back on my feet.
