@notpande @j7zaza @MeoClark And somehow they're in the UCL here, meaning they're good enough to come to the UCL

@kathv515 @primeshaq1 Don't be deceived, he only appears 2 or 3 times, he's like a mystery man, he's just used to sell the series

[Active Lekan @hellay_GH]

@iyanue86 @ADE__DAAMOLA @slay_jimmy So with this reply, the league is harder than UCL, but the post is saying otherwise

12. Because one thing is certain:
I'll never confuse “potential” with “guaranteed” ever again.
End.

I once walked away from a ₦50k/month job that could have turned into a full-time lecturer appointment because I thought I had found something better.
Almost a year ago, I got an offer as an Ad hoc staff at a university.

I don’t go searching for Eric’s videos except the ones I see on the TL…

But I think of all of his videos I have ever come across, this is the most profound.

This just taught me a very very valuable life lesson I wasn’t used to.
Thank you @eric_gugua

11. But I've also realised something:
A wrong turn doesn't mean you've lost the journey. I lost an opportunity. I didn't lose my destination. And maybe this was an expensive lesson I needed to learn early.

[Active Lekan @hellay_GH]

10. This time, I didn't think twice. I saw something tangible and I took it.
I'm currently pursuing my PhD and still working towards getting into lecturing.
What I could have gotten easily in less than 8 months may now take 3+ years, with heavy prayer. 😂

[Active Lekan @hellay_GH]

9. I ask how much is guaranteed? When will I actually be paid? What is the career value? And what am I giving up by taking this opportunity?
Eventually, I left the government programme and took another offer as a Technologist.

[Active Lekan @hellay_GH]

8. I valued the potential ₦2m more than the certainty, stability and career progression attached to the university position.
That experience taught me something I'll probably never forget.
Whenever I hear “you can potentially make ₦X” now, I don't just ask how much I can make.

[Active Lekan @hellay_GH]

7. Potential income is not the same as guaranteed income.
I wasn't stupid for choosing the other offer. With the information I had at the time, the decision looked financially logical.
But I made one mistake.

[Active Lekan @hellay_GH]

6. I just sat there thinking about what could have been.
The ₦50k they were receiving monthly was already more than what I had made in some months from the “better” opportunity I chose.
That's when the lesson really hit me:

[Active Lekan @hellay_GH]

5. It was a desert 😖
By then, we had made less than ₦200k from what was supposed to be a ₦2m+ opportunity for the year.
And the painful part was watching the two people they took in as Ad hoc staff have their files processed for full-time lecturer appointments.

[Active Lekan @hellay_GH]

4. So I chose the government programme.
My supervisor at the time was seriously angry with me, but I told him I preferred the better offer. I was replaced almost instantly by a lady.
Fast forward to June/July this year.
That “greener pasture” I was chasing?
It wasn't green at all

[Active Lekan @hellay_GH]

3. Three days later, I received another offer. A government agricultural programme that was supposed to run for a full year, with the potential to make around ₦2 million plus other benefits.
I did the maths.
₦50k × 12 = ₦600k.
₦2m+ sounded like the obvious better choice.

[Active Lekan @hellay_GH]

2. The pay was ₦50k a month, but there was a fairly clear possibility that they would eventually appoint you as a full-time lecturer.
I got the letter and started processing everything.

[Active Lekan @hellay_GH]

@Desmund_Oris That will be approved 😂🤣🤣

[Active Lekan @hellay_GH]

@hardeyfunds @horlar1700 Wahala no too much for this ekuke 😂🤣, but Barca dey mad sha... They actually scored close to 6
