Most people don’t relocate abroad just to make money. They relocate abroad to escape the dysfunctional systems, infrastructure and anyhowness in their home country. They move abroad for a better life - good healthcare and education, and to better secure the future of their kids.
A couple of my friends who moved to Canada in the last 10 years were very passionate folks who returned home after their MSc in the UK. They wanted to "go back home to fix Nigeria." A lot of them just got fed up and decided they wanted out.
You will just be chatting with old friends and they will just casually drop the “I’m now in Canada o” or “did I even tell you, I relocated to the US 5 months ago by the way.”

More people who have options are moving out. Very soon, the middle class will be almost empty.

The mentality of making it quick and driving the latest cars and what not has almost destroyed the Nigerian youth population, to the extent that some do rituals to make money.

Families and the government can help reverse this ugly trend. I hope it’s not too late.
Earlier in the year, I said we needed to create more job opportunities for young people; some said I was defending/justifying yahoo yahoo.

Few weeks later, Obasanjo, Tinubu & Tony Blair all touched on linkages between lack of opportunities, poverty and crime in diff speeches.
Families need to do the ground work of cementing values of hard work, importance of education and generally being patient while eschewing greed. This must be done before age 10. For all kids, parents need to continually reinforce these values till their kids are at least 20yrs.

If you're interested in starting a career in Human Resources or in HR already, one of the key concepts you need to understand is Job Analysis.

I will do a thread later today at 8pm on what a Job Analysis is, how to conduct a Job Analysis. #HR #JobAnalysis
A pleasant evening, and welcome to this thread on #JobAnalysis.

I will share briefly on what job analysis is, the methods involved in conducting one, the probable steps, the uses and stakeholders involved in conducting a Job Analysis. #HR
What really is a job?

A job is a group of related tasks related to similar functions. Simply, it is the collection of duties, responsibilities, and tasks (performance elements) that are defined, specific and supposed to be measurable. #JobAnalysis #HR

Can we have a word about CVs? In general - but this is mostly tech based? Here we go.

Note, these are MY opinions and ideas about CVs, BUT, CVs I have helped work on, even in non-tech areas, have actually been *praised* for their clarity.

Please tag #students!
First off - a #CV is a 'sales document' and NOT a 'factual account of your life story'.

It is designed for one purpose - to initiate and guide a conversation. What conversation? Your interview.
AS such - TWO PAGES, PLEASE!! No more. No less. Everyone over 18 has two pages of stuff they have done.

ORDER - most recent first, please.

Structure - always tell me where and when. Where did you do the thing and when did you do it. Jobs, work exp, volunteering - always.

Sex And Fasting –
(The Fight Of Conscience)
Episode 1
As soon as I cleared out the dinner table, I went into the bedroom, not bothering to say goodnight to Kenny in the living room. I knew he was going to be coming to bed soon enough.
A THREAD (copied from a friend Uju Onyechere)
I needed him to think I was fast asleep by the time he came to bed. I quickly got into the bathroom and had a quick shower before climbing into bed. I made sure I put on my long pyjamas so there was no way he could have easy access to my body.
About an hour later when I heard him climb into bed and turn the other way, I finally let out the breath I was holding. I managed to escape the sex tonight. By the time I woke up the next morning, I knew we were going to have another round of noise and fight
