One crazy corporate habit that makes people look smarter is asking a presenter to go back to the previous slide to ask a question or clarify a point.
Can distort the flow of presentation but somehow it makes you look smart and attentive.
Many things in 9-5 are acting.
As a northerner, I’ll be blunt here.
There are not very many excellent jobs in Nigeria, especially, in the North. And the few ones that are in the public sector? They usually go to the "highly connected” people.
And if you are able to get a place in the few ones that are left, you’ll only be paid a "survival wage." It keeps you afloat, but it won’t build you a future. In fact, with bills and family, it can make you poorer.
If your goal is to move into the middle class, which is the most realistic goal for most of us from humble backgrounds, then your strategy cannot be:
1. Waiting only for public sector jobs.
2. Limiting yourself to just your city or state.
The harsh truth is that unemployment is higher in many northern cities than it is in the south. That means your chances of landing a good job here are slimmer.
As young people, we must be pragmatic in coming up with solutions. I think these 4 practical moves can help:
1. Look to the private sector - While you’re still hoping for government, go hard for private companies. They pay better. They train you faster. They expose you to bigger opportunities.
2. Be mobile - Don’t be fixated on staying in your state or town. Be open to Lagos, Abuja, PH, Kano, anywhere with opportunity. Build yourself there first. When you’ve made it, you can always come back home and give back.
3. Polish your skills - A degree alone won’t pay bills. What problem can you solve? Learn a skill. Tech, sales, logistics, content, trades. Make yourself valuable.
4. Start something small - Having a degree doesn’t mean you must have a 9-5. The goal is to have a source of livelihood. It can be a business, a side hustle, catering, farming, e-business. Start small. Grow it.
Just be out and work hard.
I hope we succeed.
Dear Dangote, we fought:
PENGASSAN
NUPENG
NMDPRA
Engr. Farouk
Fuel importers
Marketers
and even the govet for you.
Now it's time to stand with Nigerians in this difficult time, yet you've chosen to sell fuel in dollars.
Well, it is what it is.
We've learnt our lessons.
Chaiii , I miss the former Kaduna state where we had Bambino’s Ice Cream, French Cafe’s Pastries, Classy Burgers, Food Planet , Yum Yum,Nanet Meatpie, Paladin Bread, and there was this Pounded Yam from Cikin Gari(The Woman died ) and Polo Club’s Suya which is the only thing that still exists at the moment .
Today, I met with my brother and National Leader @elrufai.
Our conversation has only deepened our resolve. The ADC in Kaduna is not merely ready, we are fully ABLE to dislodge the incompetent APC-led administration that has failed the good people of our state.
Enough of the hardship, enough of the excuses. With unity, courage and the will of the people, we will rescue Kaduna and restore justice, development and dignity.
Kaduna! 2027 is our year of redemption.
Attention; katsinawa.

Rarara is an illiterate in every sense of the word, let’s not be arguing nonsense.
Davido insulted Rarara not Northerners, Rarara doesn’t represent the North and God forbid the day he ever does.
