YOU ARE JUST BEING A BULLY.
They will soon come back to apologize for the betrayals, or for the evil or the wickedness that they intentionally did to you. For the sake of Jesus Christ, forgive them.
But, delete their contacts from your phone. End your relationship with them. Don't bring them close to you again.
Jesus peached love. But, he didn't preach stupidity.
"Can fresh graduates negotiate?" Absolutely!
Just because you’re new to the workforce doesn’t mean you can’t negotiate, it’s all about knowing WHAT & HOW to do it without turning off your future employer.
What can fresh graduates negotiate?
1) Salary (in some cases)
If you have relevant internship experience, in-demand skills or multiple job offers, you might have room to negotiate.
2) Job title
A small title tweak (e.g., “Marketing Coordinator” → “Marketing Associate”) can make a big difference on your resume.
3) Start date
Need extra time before starting? You can request a later start date to better fit your schedule.
4) Training & development
Ask about sponsored courses, certifications or mentorship opportunities that can help you grow.
5) Hybrid/Remote work options
Some companies allow fresh grads to work remotely on certain days, why not ask?
6) Performance review timeline
Instead of waiting a full year, request a 6-month review with a potential salary adjustment.
7) Signing bonus
If salary negotiations hit a wall, some companies offer signing bonuses as an alternative.
8) Work tools & equipment
Need a better laptop, software or work materials? These are negotiable too.
How to negotiate the right way:
Instead of just asking “Can you increase my salary?”, show them why you’re worth it:
✅ Highlight relevant skills (internships, projects, certifications)
✅ Show enthusiasm for the role & company
✅ Be flexible & open to discussion
Negotiation isn’t just about money, it’s about setting yourself up for success. So, go for it!

When the Holy Spirit points out a character flaw in you, He is not doing it to condemn you but to help you grow and become better.
Don't play defensive with the Holy Spirit.
You might not be able to pray for an hour before leaving the house - especially if you live in Lagos.
You might also struggle to read your Bible before heading out, but you can try this:
If you need to leave extremely early, it usually means your workplace is quite far away.
You can spend that 1+ hour in the bus with your earphones plugged in, fellowshipping with God during that time.
On weekends, you can then extend your prayer beyond an hour.
The same applies to Bible study:
You can read two chapters of the Bible while commuting to work, and intentionally set aside two or three hours for deeper Bible study on Saturdays and Sundays.
We’re at war, it’s a battle for consistency.
May God help us stay consistent this year.
70th Founder's Day Celebration
Day 2: Thanksgiving Service
Sunday, January 18th, 2026
As we progress with the activities lined up for the 70th Anniversary celebration,
#Mayflower70thAnniversary
Go for that one-hour lunch break. The company won't collapse just because you went for lunch.
The bitter truth is that if you died today, your job would be posted on a job board even before your obituary is written.
A Gen Z joined the team.
Week one.
During onboarding, the manager said,
“We sometimes stay late during peak periods.”
Gen Z nodded.
Then asked,
“Is that paid… or just expected?”
The room went quiet.
- No attitude.
- No rebellion.
- Just a question.
Later that day, HR mentioned “growth opportunities.”
Gen Z replied,
“Does growth include raises, or just more responsibility?”
Again, silence.
- No laziness.
- No entitlement.
- Just clarity.
That’s when the team realized something.
When people say
“Gen Z is lazy,”
what they really mean is:
Gen Z watched old generation
- skip meals,
- miss birthdays,
- work weekends,
- and burn out
only to be told
“budgets are tight”
and “be grateful you have a job.”
So Gen Z chose differently.
- They don’t romanticize overwork.
- They don’t confuse suffering with ambition.
- They don’t trade health for praise.
They still work hard.
They just refuse to work for nothing.
It’s not laziness.
It’s pattern recognition.
And honestly,
after everything old generation went through…
Can you really blame them?"
Third floor, is that you? 👀
