One day you'll realize the amount of potential you had, and how it was all wasted away because you chose comfort over effort, and there will be no one to blame but yourself. That regret will haunt you forever.

5 things you should do instead of doomscrolling on social media. Number 5 would piss you off.

Funny career huh?

I spent 4 years in Unilorin studying Industrial Chemistry, hence, Industrial Chemist

I went to school of banking, worked in a bank (I.T) and aced the CIBN examinations, hence, Chartered Banker.

Worked on many projects on the job as a Project Manager, Co-Project Manager, Tester and other roles, hence, Project Manager.

I hold the SCRUM Master certification because I’ve worked mostly in Agile environments.

Also hold a certification in Business Analysis, Certified BA-Professional.

I have a Masters in Computing from a UK university.

Love to write - Writer
Love football more than women - Football Lover

Currently work as a Senior Applications Analyst, Dynamics CRM is the core I manage and do development works on at the moment. I’ve also managed some applications in my bank days too.

What did I miss?

Transitioning?
I didn’t have a clear path so I can’t share a personal experience, but I work with loads of people to get jobs, so I’d advise you to start small, and climb the ladder.

If you want to go into projects, start from admin roles, take on tasks, prepare agendas, take minutes of meetings, note action items…funny enough, these are things a PM does. You can then learn on the job, check internal roles, shadow project teams internally if possible, apply to some project support roles, take courses to bolster your chances, etc.

If you want to go into Software Engineering, start learning from w3 schools (https://t.co/b6pm4qw7cu), every language you want to learn is there, take free gigs, do free jobs, look for entry level roles, that’s how you transition.

There’s no one-stop-shop advice for all, just work your way up, that’s the summary. Experience is key. Know when to leave also.

@_Hardhamzeeh You stole this 100% word from @TechnicalBben

[Mazi Obinna @Oegbule]

Foolish and proud

[KlintonCod @klintoncod]

Crazy thing is i have argued this with my own father a thousand times, they are always pissed my kids speak French and English but not igbo and my response is simple:

The world is progressing but Nigeria regresses on a daily, most people are running away from the country and 10 out of 10 times they will not use Igbo for anything in a white man’s land, speaking French and English or any globally recognised language will open far better doors for your kids than igbo or Yoruba will unless they have plans to become Igbo or Yoruba movies actors or artistry.

Now it doesn’t mean if i have the opportunity to teach them igbo i wouldn’t but i will prioritise a language that will help their lives in adulthood than anything else.

Very foolish take

[Johnmark Obiefuna @jayhemz]

"Look at the absolute foolishness in the quotes."

All because of opening Outlier account.

The single biggest issue for someone based in the diaspora (U.S or U.K) is TAX. More specifically, reporting income tax. In other words, not disclosing monies in your name could be tantamount to fraud. But platforms like Outlier already issues tax forms which makes disclosures easy.

Any other issue is civil not illegal. No one is arresting you because Outlier said so, highest your account will be banned on Outlier if they detect any anomalies. Osim "clearance getting flagged."

Meanwhile, you're not giving anyone your personal details. You're opening the account by yourself and someone else operates by proxy, which in certain jurisdictions is a civil matter for the platform but only fraud if you don't disclose income.

But that wasn't even the focus of the initial post. The focus is that asking for something like this from someone in the diaspora is met with ghosting, other excuses or even accusations of fraud without knowing WHAT Outlier or other data labelling services do.

A simple, "tell me more about this" or "I'm not comfortable opening this account for you" is clear and straightforward.

Indians create outsourcing Agencies because of this and repatriate funds to their home countries through hundreds of similar agencies. Only the black man thinks up individual success as the pinnacle of his achievements and scream FRAUD or SECURITY CLEARANCE if he doesn't understand stuff.

Ask questions, nobody will kee you, onye mpiawa azu.
