As a truck transporter, diesel is the main problem of our work these days coz the price is extremely high, from 220 in less than one year now it’s 350 naira per litre, it outrageous and unexpected at all. For the goods owner to add money for transport is another accoutre. When diesel was 220, I do carry goods worth 40tons to Abuja from lagos at the rate of 400k and I will use 1000 liters of diesel now they only add 60k Making it 460k with the same 1000 litres of diesel which is 350k now do the calculation, It’s a bad season for we truck/ trailer transporter. I will pay for agbero boys in lagos out of that 460k, my boys feeding allowance and still pay for tax on the road and soldiers and policemen will collect their own on the road (almost 20 checkpoints from Lagos to Abuja and the minimum money is #500 at each checking point), Honestly speaking it’s really a rigor time these days.

Lol. My alma mater is in the bolded

I speak from experience. To have a first class,you need to be gifted to a certain extent. But If you fall below 2:1, you have yourself to blame.

No matter the excuse you give yourself, that's just the gospel truth bro. I understand truth can be annoying but really it helps to move one forward in life.

Once you're not lazy with schoolwork, you'll never be below 2:1 no matter what.

Painting: With the introduction of wallpapers and wall tiles, the painting profession has been wearing a sad face. (minimally tho)

Automobile mechanic: It nay take time in this part of the world, but in years to come, it will fade. (Electric cars)

Electrical Engineering will surely boom in the future.
Mechanics won't ever stop working so long as vehicles are still used on earth. It doesn't matter the forms of energy that power them. The only difference between an electric car and a petrol/diesel or gas powered car is that while the power of an electric car is generated from an electric motor, the power of the latter is generated from the internal combustion of a hydrocarbon fuel. The automotive components of both the electric and hydrocarbon driven vehicles are fundamentally the same and that's where a mechanic comes in.

Just find a way of "ass licking" them. My first boss when I joined the banking sector was a woman. I would praise her to high heaven. Sometimes she came with food from home and while eating it, I would be like, " Madam, this food smells nice and your husband must be enjoying". She would laugh and always found ways of trying to tell me things so that I would give her the kind of answers she would want.

I would praise her and her kids to high heavens to the extent that I had to come to her house to coach her son that was preparing for Federal government college entrance exam then. She was so impressed that I was favored among the staff under her. She was mean to the core and was dreaded by all, but I found favor with her. Sometimes, she sent me to her house with driver to pick up something and I practically warmed myself to her. It was a game I played very well since I could not change or select my boss. She was the one doing appraisal and a lot of things are taken into consideration. If you have been into corporate world, you would understand.

There was time she did 10 years marriage anniversary and invited everybody, including staff. I was practically serving food, doing every chore. When people left that Sunday evening, I went to the back of the house and started washing plates and coolers with her Nanny. She came to the back of the house to drop some plates and found me and shouted that I should leave the place and stop washing the plates. I said, " madam, don't worry, it was nothing." She stood there and was looking at me.

It was around, 8:30pm and I was about to go. She was staying in a massive duplex in festac, while I was leaving at Ire-Akari estate. She insisted that I should not go, that I should go and sleep at their boys quarter. But I told her that tomorrow was Monday and I needed to go home and prepare for work. She said I should not bother coming to the office in the morning and should take two days off. I did stay in their house, helped her kids with their weekend homework and other things.

In the morning, before leaving, the husband gave me N10k and one new Turkish suite that he has not used before. The man is well to do anyway. Since that day, I was one of the most favored staff, recommending me for promotion. This was someone that everybody saw as "wicked" and feared by staff. She could shout to people anyhow and woe to you if you fail to balance your investment account after close of business.

When an opportunity came for someone to be recommended for a new project, she didn't waste time and put me forward. It was not that I was not good on my job, but I needed to build good relationship with her to help my career. In life and in corporate world, your boss can determine the trajectory of your growth. You must manage the person and play to his/her sentiments and massage ego.

But you must know your job and be dedicated. Adding interpersonal relationship and managing difficult bosses are just the icing on the cake.
