One major luck you will have in life is being born in the right country and into the right family.

How can you actually confirm that the data you bought, you actually used it up?

I can't understand how I will finish 1TB in a month.

Many careers exist today because an HR professional looked beyond experience and gave someone a fair chance.

A CV may not be perfect. Someone may be changing careers or returning after a long break.

Instead of rejecting the application because it does not fit every box, they choose to have a conversation.

Sometimes that single decision changes the course of a person's life.

To every HR professional who has taken a chance on someone, believed in their potential, and opened a door that changed a life, thank you.

Your work has a lasting impact, even when nobody sees it.

I just received my pension contribution for June and I'm here thinking.

Pension contributions should not be completely locked out until retirement.

If someone has built up millions of naira in a pension account, there should be a provision that allows contributors to withdraw or use a part of their pension for major investments such as buying a house, purchasing land, or even acquiring a car.

Even if means making the purchase directly with the company. More like a B2B partnership to serve contributors.

While retirement savings should be protected, there should also be enough flexibility to meet important financial needs before retirement.

It is who is alive that will enjoy dividends of retirement fund.

A friend got an offer for an SBO grade with a Tier 2 bank. The bank requested he provide a guarantor who is a senior officer in the bank.

He provided the name of a former boss, a Zonal Head from a bank they had worked at together.

Thoughtfully, he decided to call the man before submitting the details.

The Zonal Head told him he could not stand in as his guarantor.

He told him, "It has been over six years since they last worked together. He can't honestly guarantee his character today because he no longer knows the person he has become."

When he told him, I thought it twice and I saw reasons with the former boss.

Truthfully, it made sense not to assume someone will guarantee you simply because you worked together years ago. Always ask first, and stay in touch with the people whose recommendation may matter one day.

If he had submitted the details without informing the Zonal Head, the report would have come out bad.

I was so poor in Mathematics that I was nicknamed "I don't know Math (sic)" in Class 6 because I gave that as answer to my teacher when he asked me a question in class.

JSS 1-3, same story.

I think I had P7 in it in Junior WAEC.

SS 1-2, similar story.

Then in January 1999, second term into SS2, with GCE staring me in the face, I attended a private lesson. The teacher taught me Factorization and I realized I got it. His explanation was spot on.

For the first time in my life, I understood a math topic clearly.

Then I went back to JSS 1 math texbook for personal study and finished it within a week. Then moved to JSS 2 and finished it within 2 weeks. Then JSS 3 math, then SS1, then SS2.

Then to GCE past questions.

I sat for GCE in August 1999 or so during holiday after SSS2 and made a B2.

Then WAEC in SSS3 in May 2000 and got B2 again (felt bad for this because I wanted A1).

Meanwhile, I saw that many of my school mates in Science classes (who did Further Math) did not even have B2 that I had in Math in WAEC and that prompted me to enrol for another private lesson in Further Math. "If I could score higher in Math than many science students that did Further math, I should be able to do Further math too".

I practiced a couple of topics in Further Math - Calculus, Partial Fraction etc - while waiting for OAU to resume, knowing I would need Mathematics to do well in Economics that I got admission for.

Math soon became my favourite subject. Needless to say I had A in all but one of the Math courses I did from Year 1 to graduation in Ife.

From being poor in Math to it becoming my best subject, it was a comeback I never saw coming. A turnaround that contributed largely to who I am today (my eventual grade in Economics helped largely by my scores in Math courses).

In 2022, 23 years after, I searched for and reconnected with the private teacher that saved me in SS 2 in 1999.

I used to have a colleague who studied Petrochemical Engineering. We started at UBA together.

From operations in UBA, he moved to Union Bank as RM, then to First Bank as an RM.

He didn't spend up to a year at First Bank before he got an offer from NLNG.

The banking experience didn't stop him from getting into oil and gas.

If anything, it gave him commercial experience that made him more valuable.

A lot of people think accepting a job outside their field means they have given up on their dream. I don't see it that way.

A degree is one part of your story.

Your career is built on the skills you acquire, the problems you solve, and the results you deliver.

You can use all of that to get your dream job.

Before getting job

1. Thinking their high grade is enough to get them a job. No, you still have to hustle (I applied to over 50 companies myself despite my grade). Fire at all cylinders. Apply indiscriminately. Prepare for job tests and interviews as if your life depend on it (& it actually does)

2. Lack of information hunger. No job is coming to meet you in your village simply because you made a good grade. Move to city if possible. If not, explore internet as much as you can to get all info you need

3. Listening to doomsday prophets. A lot of people are out there that will tell you they know high-graders riding okada. If you listen to them, it may become a self-fulfilling prophesy

After getting job

4. Being defined by their grade. Do not build your life around your grade. Be humble to learn from anyone, including people you know did not have your kind of grade. The person that taught me how to raise journal (accounting) in my first job was a contract staff that was still running part-time HND.

After graduating well from school, to get a very good job that pays really well in this country, you need 2 things:

1. Grace of God
2. Strong connection/referrals
