Excited to officially kick off my Project Management journey with @iseschool_co. Over the past weeks, I’ve learned a lot about the basics of PM and why it matters in every project. In the spirit of learning publicly, I will be documenting my experience here and below is a simple

When I lost my first USD remote job, it made me realize how very little many of us know about timezones.

Nigeria runs on West Africa Time (WAT).

And Nigeria's time is also expressed as GMT+1 and UTC+1.

Not GMT.
Not UTC.

GMT+1 and UTC+1.

What this means is that when it comes to GMT & UTC, Nigeria is +1 hour ahead, and WAT is Nigeria’s official time zone.

So practically speaking:
If it’s
• 12:00 PM GMT
• 12:00 PM UTC

Then it is
• 1:00 PM in Nigeria (WAT)
That +1 hour difference matters.

Many people casually schedule meetings in GMT or UTC, and Nigerian workers assume it’s the same as their local time, but it’s not.

Another thing many newbies don’t know is that some countries change their clocks twice a year because of Daylight Saving Time.

But Nigeria does not.

So the time difference between Nigeria and some countries changes depending on the time of the year.

Example:

A 9AM meeting in New York might be:

• 3PM in Nigeria during one part of the year
• 2PM in Nigeria during another

If you don’t understand this, you miss meetings, you respond late, and you look unreliable.
And in remote work, reliability is everything.

The easiest way to avoid timezone mistakes is to:

1. Always confirm the timezone used (GMT, UTC, etc.)

2. Convert every set time immediately to WAT

3. Save it in your calendar

4. Never assume. Always verify that you’ve converted corrected.

Tools like Google Calendar and World Time Buddy make this easy.

Remote work is global, and understanding the relationship between GMT, UTC, and WAT is one of those tiny details that determine whether you keep a job or lose one.

Hope this helps.

The children should know I've lost my job. I'm not collecting anything through the back door. She should openly carry the responsibility. When I get back on my feet, family income will go up and we will carry it together.

The children should know that life happens. They should also understand that it takes 2 people to run a home and it is okay for a woman to carry the bills for her family when the man is having a down time. They should see for themselves that respect is not negotiated by finances because family is run on love and duty.

Collecting money from backdoor and pretending to be paying the bills is just an offshoot of the Odogwu lifestyle that doesn't make any sense. What exactly are you teaching the kids?

The disrespect and sexism this woman faces on a daily basis is INSANE!

[𝓢𝓱𝓪𝓻𝓮𝓵𝓵 @Melaneenah]

@OloriOfOloris And this is a direct representation of how most Nigerian women in power are treated on daily basis.

You either bow to control or get bullied endlessly by those who are unable to control you.
