The Salary Negotiation That Taught Me Everything In 2025

Candidate: "I need 100,000 per month."
HR : Our budget is 60,000 per month.

Boss: "Pass. Too expensive."

HR almost moved on. Almost.
But HR asked one question: "What would make 60,000 not work for you?"

Candidate : "Honestly? Nothing. I have loans, rent just went up, and I'm tired of being underpaid because I'm 'still learning.' I know my worth now."

HR went back to his boss.
Showed them the cost of leaving the role open another 3 months. The lost productivity. The team burnout. The recruiter fees if we went external.
It was over 50,000.
The boss accepted.

Here's the part that still gives the HR chills: Six months later, she told HR she had another offer for 130,000 per month but turned it down because they were the only company that fought FOR her, not AGAINST her.

Candidates remember who believed in them. They remember who negotiated IN GOOD FAITH versus who played games.

Stop treating salary negotiations like a battle to win. Start treating them like the first test of your company culture.

Because if you can't advocate for someone BEFORE they join, why would they believe you'll advocate for them AFTER?

Before You Judge a Nigerian Contractor, Please Read This!

I saw a post yesterday where someone said:
“Be careful with a Nigerian contractor — they quote a project for ₦30 million and end up spending ₦15 million.”

Now, I don’t know the details of that particular case, so I won’t speak on that specific project. But let me speak as a professional in this construction industry with my name, experience, and integrity on the line.

There is no professional contractor who will mark up profit and overhead by 50%.

With the rising cost of materials and the current economic realities in Nigeria, no serious contractor will quote a ₦30 million project for ₦15 million. It’s not realistic.

But here’s the issue:

Most clients don’t judge projects by value or durability they judge by the lowest cost.

They compare the final amount spent with what a contractor quoted, without asking the hard questions:

• What were the changes in scope?
• What quality of materials was used?
• Were there structural upgrades?
• Is the durability the same?
• What was the mix ratio used?

Let me give you a real-life example:

I’m currently working on a project in an area where 9-inch blocks sell for ₦850. But when I checked, the quality was far below standard. I had to source higher-strength blocks at ₦1,050. Multiply the difference by 5,000 blocks ,you do the math.

Still in that area:
• Their soft sand is not usable for casting. It’s what Lagos people call Dargolu.

• I had to import stone dust and granite for casting to meet proper strength.

• Their gravel? Dirty and inconsistent. I couldn’t risk structural failure.

• I added columns throughout and chained the external walls for proper load transfer and integrity.

What about:
• PPR pipes for plumbing standard, but costly.
• High-quality tiles, lighting, and fittings :not the cheap versions that fail within 6 months.

All these don’t show immediately, but give it 1–2 years and the real cost in terms of maintenance and repairs will surface. Unfortunately, no one comes back to post about that.

So when people say:

“That contractor was too expensive. I got it cheaper elsewhere…”

Ask them:
• What were the original specs?

• What did they settle for?

• And most importantly , what did they actually get?

You can’t get a ₦30 million project for ₦15 million without cutting corners, using substandard materials, going against professional advice and settling for less.

Behind every failed building , there is someone who go against professional advice , seltle for sub standard material and love cuttings comer to get it cheaper .

Good work costs money. Quality is not cheap.

Profit and overhead margins for professionals range from 10–25%.
Right now, many contractors are going as low as 7% just to stay competitive.

So when someone says, “I found it cheaper,” ask them to provide:

• The Bill of Quantities (BOQ)
• The materials used
• The specifications followed
• And the actual results

We all know you can’t compare a ₦900,000 Turkish security door with a ₦200,000 Chinese version. The look may be similar, but the quality? Nowhere close.

Durability has value.

Good engineering has value.

And real construction professionals should not be painted with the same brush as quacks.

Once you hear someone saying, “I spent less without using a construction engineer,” ask them:
What substandard method did they apply?

An Italian shoe of ₦350k is not on the same level as a ₦150k Chinese shoe , we all know the difference.

Taking a broken bone to an orthopedic surgeon costs more than going to a roadside quack. One will treat you for now and the future. The other? May lead to amputation.

Be aware. Don’t let anyone mislead you.

It’s unbelievable that people came to my DM to attack me for speaking out against the state pardon for 70 bandits in Katsina State.

We are actually sharing the same social media space with terrorists’ sympathisers.

Those terror-monsters deserve nothing but a MopDemAll act.

If you know someone who gets angry easily but loves God, share Pastor Dolapo Lawal’s message with them.
There’s something special about his teachings - if they listen to him regularly, they’ll become calm over time.
As a bonus, they’ll also gain a deeper understanding of God.

Congratulations

Today we celebrate 38 years of covenant, consistency, love, and kingdom impact.
38 years of walking together in purpose.
38 years of standing together in faith.
38 years of building not just a home, but a legacy of ministry, service, and spiritual leadership.

This is a testimony that love can be deep, faith can be strong, and commitment can endure — when God is at the center. Through seasons, through challenges, through victories, you have remained anchored in Christ and united in purpose.
This is a living proof that marriage is not just a union of hearts, but a partnership for destiny. A covering for generations. A platform for God’s glory.

HAPPY 38th WEDDING ANNIVERSARY

I once asked a high-performer why they stayed with their company for 10 years.

​I expected them to say "the salary" or "the bonuses options."

Instead, they said:

"A few years ago, I had a family emergency. My manager didn't ask for a doctor's note. They didn't check my performance. They just said: 'Take care of your family, we’ve got your back.'"

​Retention isn't a "perk." It's a feeling.

​If you want to keep your best people in 2026, stop looking at them as "resources" and start looking at them as humans.

Perks like free snacks and fancy offices are great, but psychological safety is what keeps the lights on.

Having watched this video, I implore the Federal Government and the National Assembly to increase the salaries and allowances of the Armed Forces. We owe a debt of gratitude and robust welfare to the Nigerian Army Troops for their sacrifices.

There’s a married woman in my compound who does this thing; anytime her husband comes home late or they quarrel, she changes the padlock and refuses to open the door for him.

Yesterday, the man stood outside for over two hours. All of us came out, begging her to open the door. She refused. Eventually, another neighbour had to accommodate him for the night.
This morning, the man went out and came back with a truck. He packed all his belongings and left.
That was when the woman started shouting and begging, calling all of us to come and help her plead with him not to go. Nobody answered her.

Me: She’ll learn the hard way. Who locks a man out of his own house? Spoilt brat.
