Between Supply chain & Tech.
I heard people talking about Supply chain waves as if Supply chain is in itself a new niche, but that’s by the way.
During the Tech wave, you’d see people specializing in Cybersecurity, Data analysis, product development, DevOps & so on. It’s very uncommon that you see anyone being a specialist beyond one or two.
In Supply chain, we have different specialty as well, such as Demand planning, Material planning, procurement, Logistics, production planning, Distribution requirement planning & so on.
But unlike Tech, I can be an expert in Demand planning & be hired for a senior position in procurement, I can be an expert in Supply planning & be hired for a role in production planning, the roles are so interwoven that once you’ve mastered one very well, you can be relied upon to be trained in the other within 1-3 months & you’ll get the concept effortlessly.
When people ask me which niche of supply chain should they focus on; I always tell them to choose one & excel in it, with that, you’ll find it easy to sidestep into others if need be.
I have by the grace of God work as a supply chain professional in 3 Fortune 500 companies in different roles.
1) Distribution requirement planning
2) Demand planning
3) Material planning.
The first company trained me, The second company hired me with only my knowledge of number 1 & the third company hired me with only the knowledge of number 1 & 2; different positions, yet, only with the knowledge of being a Supply chain expert.
Talk to me, what are you still waiting for, wouldn’t you want to explore this career path too?
Just read the first four chapters of Khaled Hosseini's "The Kite Runner" and it's been quite an experience, considering the fact that I'm also reading about the Soviet occupation in Afghanistan and the rise of the Taliban.
The way he writes is like sugar in my mouth.
Even though I read about it during my teenage years (& witnessed the twilight of military in Nigeria), I recently started reading about military politics/history again and it's fascinating, if sad.
Max Siollun's books are the most independent, largely unbiased books on the subject.
Everyone on Linkedin should be watching House of Dragons.
They keep dropping Career Gems.
In the last episode Rhaenyra blessed us with the best auto email reply, that I will be using going forward
"I am awash in dilemmas and deficiencies. Let me find my footing and I will attend to your request."
Whoever wrote that line…I know your pen was on fire.
This tweet is funny.
He wouldn't have had a problem with it if it was a group of 14 year old Asians that finished Engineering maths or something much tougher.
No one realizes that episode 3 of House of the Dragon hides five little-known details.
Number one: When the fake Daeron was taken away by Daemon, Tessarion nearby only tilted its head, showing no sign of concern.
This already hints that he is not the true prince. Meanwhile, the red-haired attendant who briefly appeared in episode 1 had dragon-riding gloves at his waist, suggesting that he is the real Daeron.
Number two: The city at the edge of the world where men have wings mentioned by Daemon likely refers to the City of Winged Men located on the southern border of the Grey Wastes, laying at the Hidden Sea.
It is said that its inhabitants have leathery wings and can fly like eagles.
Number three: The bed Daemon rested his hand on was the same bed where Viserys the First died. Compared to season 1, all the bed curtains have been removed.
No wonder Rhaenyra could not sleep there and had to go find Daemon, she cannot forget the way her father looked before he died.
Number four: Daemon's ambitious line is not an original statement, Duskendale could be ours.' In fact, Aegon the Conqueror also said something similar.
Number five: Rhaenyra hosted a noble banquet but served rats as food.
She appears to care deeply about the common people, yet this is completely different from her portrayal in the original novels.
It makes one curious about how the series will alter her ending.
We don't need to push the limits of innovation on this end of our earth jor.
We have more pressing conversations of national importance.
"Is it gele or Ichafu?"
You need to have balls of steel to drive "intellectual" conversations in today's Nigeria social media space.
As for the congregation of the uprisen olodos, in the conversation of the Olodo uprising - I have decided to share my own think piece.
This is so funny. The gods that could not stop their items from being carted away to the British museum back when they were in active service, is it now that the gods are retired and probably doomscrolling on Facebook that they will work? What is the point of having educated people in these positions if all they do is this kind of dumb superstition, when they could really be elevating and making the institution relevant for its time?
In Adichie's book, "We should all be Feminists", a scenario not dissimilar to this was narrated in an effort to capture the subtle forms in which patriarchy exist in society.
But this tweet exposes a reality that is contrary to that which exists in books like this. It seems...

I was getting food with a man. When we were done, he went to the loo & I asked the waitress for the bill. With shock and disbelief, she said “you’re paying???”
I nodded and started transferring but before I finished, he came back & gave her his card.
She said with relief, “Ehnehn, why will you pay?”
All of us burst out laughing. 😂😂
Patriachy was never the problem, at least not the benefits—benefits that is not solely beneficial to the man.
In the event that is solely beneficial to the man, a case is made for inequality and misogyny and thus the ideology of feminism is born and patriachy—the one that is..
