Interestingly, one of the worst things about the Nigerian character - bloviating, buffoonish overconfidence - is also a superpower that sets Nigerians apart when it is intentionally harnessed and channelled correctly.
Whenever Nigerians (born and raised in Nigeria) learn how to combine their social confidence with actual intellectual substance and a good amount of self awareness, the world will have a serious problem on its hands.
I believe in my people🙏🏿
@elnathan_john I also don't think Nigerians have fully engaged with how slavery, and the reality of your family members possibly being sold away by your neighbors, contributed to our present extremely low-trust society.
I was telling someone the other day, “Sometimes I get so excited while reading that my eyes jump ahead and skip whole paragraphs, and I have to make myself go back and reread what I missed.”
They looked at me and said, “No one does that.”
Please tell me I’m not the only one 😭😩
Japa hollowed out middle management in Nigerian companies and what replaced it was just the same work distributed across fewer people with the same pay.
You now have people with middle management salaries carrying senior management responsibilities while also training junior staff because the people who used to do that training have left.
The structure did not change. The people holding it up just got more tired
In another episode of saying "it can never be me" when it can actually be me like mad, I have indeed subscribed to YouTube premium for a while now and e sweet die!
