The population of Canada is 37 Million, but the government continues to increase its yearly PR intake so it could meet a target of 100 Million by the end of the century.

There are jobs in the private sector, but here are the 2019 Top 10 in demand jobs in public sector:

So a Yahoo boy sent me a message, and he said the biggest lie is that you can 'invest' the money and leave.

He made ₦40M in a year and tried to start a business, but the 'energy' of the money followed him.

He was still living the lifestyle, still feeding the 'parasites' around him. One bad arrest took ₦30M in one day.

He’s 27 now, trekking to find work. He said the worst part isn't even the hunger; it's the 'cast' face.

Everybody knows who he was, so nobody trusts him with a real job. He told me, I traded my future for two years of noise.

Now the silence is killing me.

The street doesn't give you anything for free, it’s a loan with your life as collateral.

A close colleague of mine travelled out recently.

Her travelling was planned, because there was never a hope of her travelling. So I asked her how she did it.

She said when we were doing SIWES at a hospital, she was nice to a patient, they weren't rich, the wife is a trader and her husband was a teacher. One of their children was the one who was admitted. She kept the child's company when both parents weren't around. She was very nice to them, and they appreciated her and took her number.

They sometimes call to greet and pray for her, and one day they told her to send airtime to them because things were tough. There was a time, they asked "How's work" because she had graduated and they believed she'd gotten a job, whereas she was still struggling to find her footing in life. She thought they wanted her to send money to them, and since then she stopped answering their calls even though it's just once or thrice in a year that they call her.

One day she received 3 messages from them on WhatsApp, but still she did not open them, because it might be billing. On the third day, she mistakenly opened the messages only for her to see "Would you like to work abroad?" "There's an opportunity from a relative and we want to offer you, to repay you for your kindness" "How have you been?"

She responded to the messages, confirmed the legitimacy of the offer, processed her travel and left for good, just like that.

She would have lost the offer if she had waited a few more days.

I feel one of the loneliest feelings in the world for a man is having to 'apply' for intimacy with his own wife.

​When he has to initiate 100% of the time, he doesn't feel like a partner, he feels like a pest. He stops asking not because he doesn't want you, but because the constant, subtle rejection hurts his dignity and pride. He would rather go without it than feel like he is begging for basic affection."

This reminds me of what happened in 2022 during 8 months of ASUU strike. Armed Robbers came to our house that night and all our items were stolen. They stole my laptop and my phone while my lil brother’s phone, money and ATM card were stolen as well.

The following day, my big brother called my lil brother to go and get a new phone, in his word “Go to a phone store and get any new phone of your choice”. My lil brother got there and called me, “which phone should I buy” and I told him to get iPhone 11 Pro Max. He called our big brother and told him the price, our Egbon made the payment.

I on the other hand, I told our big brother that I needed to get a new phone and laptop the same week but my Egbon turned me down. After two weeks of back and forth, our bro called me and said, go to a phone shop and ask for phone that’s not more than #70k. I told him what about my laptop and he said laptop can wait. At this point I was destabilized. Nevertheless, I went to get an iPhone 6s 64GB because there’s a budget constraint.

I told our mum about the whole incident immediately I got home and our mama said “is he your dad?, he’s your brother for crying out loud, you’re privileged to even have someone like him, and whatever he does to you, he has his reasons”. I began to look at the situation critically after my conversation with our mum. I asked myself, why would he give me a budget and did not give my brother, does he hate me, am I the problem etc.

I searched internally and I found out the following:

1. My lil brother has more economic value than I do because he works closely with our big brother. My lil brother can’t go a day without a phone because of the day to day running of the business while I can go months without a phone and nothing will affect the business. In all honesty, my lil brother contributes to the growth of the business and is more productive than I do.

2. We were not in a session because of ASUU strike so there’s no need for laptop or gadget. All I was doing was to eat, play games, surf internet etc.

After I carefully analyzed the situation, I realized that our big brother’s action was reasonable and justified. What do I do to correct this anomaly, so I asked myself. I took the blame because I put myself in that situation. If I had been contributing my own quota to the business and all, his actions would have been different. At this point, I told myself to be more useful and productive henceforth. I told my big brother the following day that I will be following him to work anytime we are on holidays and I will start tomorrow. He was like “Alakowe ni wo(student) and we are businessmen, what do you think you can do to help the business”. I responded, I will manage your warehouse and he said no problem.

I used all the period of strike to work closely with both my Big brother and lil brother in order to know how business activities are being carried out. Throughout my 7 months with them, I gained practical experience, valuable skills, customer relations, and I improved their modus operandi by putting in place organizational structures that can make their business to thrive. Someone that gave me a budget of 70k seven months ago later gave me over #1M When I was going back to school and that was the first time a million enter my account. The same person has been single-handedly sponsoring my undergraduate and postgraduate studies including professional qualifications. Imagine if I had vexed for him, call him out, or swear for him just because he did what he thought was the best, I wouldn’t be where I am right now.

Moral of this epistle

No matter how people treat you, regardless of what gestures shown to you, or your encounter with people, please do a self reflection, internalize and analyze your actions first. We are quick to say “that lecturer gives E but when you score an A, you won’t say that lecturer gives me A”. We tend to ascribe our failure, maltreatment, misfortune to external factors while neglecting the

People wonder why fraudsters can't use the same intelligence and effort to do legitimate work.

However, it's actually more difficult to do things right. It takes more effort to be good than bad.

When you have no conscience, you don't second-guess your decisions or think about who you hurt. You have a god-like complex because you're smart enough to get away with stuff others won't attempt.

So, when you see someone trying to make money the right way, they deserve accolades. It's crushingly hard.
