This is one bitter truth you should always remind yourself of as an employee. It is even worse for people who work in organisations owned by one person or a particular family.
Your employer will never pay you what will make you have enough resources to live a comfortable life.
REASONS: 1. You will be in a better position to walk out of situations that you don't like in the workplace.
2. You will be in a better position to resign and start your own business.
Most Nigerian employers are just like the government. They give you just what is enough for you to survive, and not to succeed.
As an employer, you should realize that the people working for you also have their personal dreams and visions. Your business is your vision, and not theirs. So as they work for you to build your vision, the job should as give them the platform to build theirs. If your vision is being built, and theirs remain unachievable, then there is something wrong with you and your business system.
Last week, I attended a webinar where one of the so-called Nigerian industry giants was admonishing workers to be dedicated and put in their best. I didn't have any issue with that, but when he concluded by saying that salary doesn't matter, that what matters is passion and dedication, I shook my head. We have really lost it! You fly first class to different parts of the world. You buy choice properties. Your kids attend some of the best schools abroad. All from the proceeds of your business, and you open your mouth to tell me that salary doesn't matter?
This happened last night, along the popular Airport Road, in Warri Delta State.
Some Fulani youths who have been disguising as bike riders attacked a girl along Airport Road. They stabbed her on her back and made attempt to rob her of her possessions, including her phones. As God may have it, luck ran out on them when the screams of the girl attracted youths around the area.
Trust Warri boys. They showed them 'massive love and affection'. Within 5 minutes, the boys converted their faces to Chinese faces. As in Chin chun chon things.
These guys are slowly penetrating southern Nigeria. Stay guarded. Know your way nor be curse.
I mean, can you do this on your body to show how much you love someone in 2026? Knowing fully well that you are not even married to this person. Also knowing fully well how deceptive, wicked, and selfish many people are today in our society.

Nigerian music producer, Michael Collins Ajereh, popularly know as Don Jazzy has lost significance weight. Mr Ajereh is the founder of Marvin Music, an ace music label/entertainment company in Nigeria and Africa.
See before and after photos.
This life na determination. If you discipline yourself, you can really go far.
In a video clip interview, Don Jazzy explained his simple approach.
“I don’t like going to the gym, I am very lazy. I lost a lot of weight by being on a carnivore diet for 3 months, I was eating only meat,” he said. The carnivore diet means eating only animal products, mainly meat, with no vegetables, grains, or other foods. Don Jazzy said this method worked well for him despite his not liking exercises....
“I don’t like going to the gym, I am very lazy
I lost a lot of weight by being on a carnivore diet for 3 months, I was eating only meat.”
A woman was paraded yesterday at Ikom-Obudu Road, Cross Rivers State for using her poo to fry Akara that she sells to people. Trust Nigerians. They showed her a little bit of love and affection.
That is their way. They will tell you how they lived in America, and have travelled the world, but na Mushin or Ajegunle dem dey. People who have travelled far and wide, and who live abroad do not come online to brag. Na the ones wey dey stay Sagamu or Mushin dey always brag online.
I currently live in London, I have visited 6 countries including the US. I lived in the US for 18 months so I don't know what you are talking about
Who told you the streets of western countries are littered with gold? Who told you every one in the west are living like prince and princesses. There are poor people in every single country of the world but western countries are good at presenting a very good image about their countries while people like you will just be attacking Nigeria at every flimsy excuse
Come to the west and see how your country men are cleaning shit from the bum bum of elderly while people.
You current live in London that is located at the back of Sagamu.
stuffs2002: Nothing special.... She just baff up ni so stop attacking Nigeria
She is looking better because she cleaned up and added fake hair and the glasses. Their are people who are as old as her but looking better in Nigeria.
She only came into more money.
Some homeless people in US also look terrible until they baff up
.
Nigeria has already attacked herself, and people like you who sing praises for corrupt and inefficient politicians are part of the attackers
See the difference between this woman when she was in Nigeria, and how she presently looks after her grand daughter who travelled abroad took her out of Nigeria, and brought her to the US.
Poverty and suffering can make you look twice your age. Poverty nor good. It can torture not just you, but your entire lineage if it is not broken.
Granddaughter shares the before-and-after transformation of her 76-year-old grandmother after leaving Nigeria, and the striking change has left many questioning the quality of life in Nigeria. pic.twitter.com/JbhyRxKKLJ
