1- Trust it's a pleasant evening for everyone. I'm glad to be back for another time to discuss career as it pertains to students in the higher institution. Our gospel has always been "START YOUR CAREER ON CAMPUS"

#EKSUNews
#CareerTipsForStudents
2- And we discuss different topics as they relate to our core discussion. Today, I will be sharing on a very interesting topic. "How your country of residence affects your career growth".

#EKSUNews
#CareerTipsForStudents
3- Considering the metamorphosis that has happened to Twitter Nigeria in the last one year, I'm sure you must have seen a lot of arguments about the state of our dear country.

#EKSUNews
#CareerTipsForStudents
4- To start with, let me debunk a notion that have been peddled by some folks who motivates without guiding you on how to Chanel the motivation that "your country does not have to determine your story".

#EKSUNews
#CareerTipsForStudents
5- That sounds appealing but it is in no way correct. There are 3 foundational things that affect your career story:

-Your nuclear family
-Your generation
-Your country of residence

#EKSUNews
#CareerTipsForStudents
6- Long before you can think for yourself, your family would have determined the kind of education you get and this will stick with you for the rest of your life.

#EKSUNews
#CareerTipsForStudents
7- For most, primary, secondary and tertiary education largely depends on the opinions of our sponsors and not your goals. Your course of study and institution maybe your choice, but there was an imaginary boundary that was determined by finance

#EKSUNews
#CareerTipsForStudents
8- You will grow to a point before you can break off from the path that has been set before you. Some break off after first degree. Most remain on the path.

#EKSUNews
#CareerTipsForStudents
9- Secondly, you are affected by your generation. Your generation determines your need and the values you can create that would be acceptable.

#EKSUNews
#CareerTipsForStudents
10- Thirdly, you are affected by your country of residence. Nigeria determines a lot of things that you are not even aware of.

#EKSUNews
#CareerTipsForStudents
11- I relocated sometimes ago and I discovered that my monthly data subscription was no longer enough despite not changing the things I do on the internet. I wondered what could be wrong; I thought I was been scammed.

#EKSUNews
#CareerTipsForStudents
12- It took me many days to figure out that the power supply of my new location is better than where I was coming from so I have been spending more time online than I used to which took more data.

#EKSUNews
#CareerTipsForStudents
13- It's not good to be used to what is not excellent! The Nigerian society creates an atmosphere that is not very conducive for many career fields. You shoukd be conscious of that when making career choice.

#EKSUNews
#CareerTipsForStudents
14- Your study environment does not encourage the best from you. No power. No internet. These things are not luxuries. They play a huge role in the success of a career.

#EKSUNews
#CareerTipsForStudents
15- That been said, there are some fields that are not well established in Nigeria. Mostly, science related fields like Microbiology, Botany and Zoology.

#EKSUNews
#CareerTipsForStudents
16- Agriculture is steadily on the rise, but it's not yet appreciable enough. ICT has boomed, is booming and will yet boom. The same with the finance sector.

#EKSUNews
#CareerTipsForStudents
17- That's why you see a lot of people who studied a biological science or agric course working in finance institutions and ICT. Many have switched just because they live in a country where their chosen career is not developed.

#EKSUNews
#CareerTipsForStudents
18- I am raising this issue for two reasons:
-For you to be conscious of the fact that you are being affected by Nigeria.

-For you to get involved in how to make Nigeria better

As long as we fold our arms, we will not get to the places we want

#EKSUNews
#CareerTipsForStudents
19- Till next week when I come your way again, keep making the right choices for tour career!

1- Yes! It's time to learn again. Good evening my friends in EKSU and other schools. It's time to learn about how to maximize your studentship to boost your career.

#EKSUNews
#CareerTipsForStudents
2- We have discussed many things that can help students get ahead while still on campus, but today, our discussion will be for students with business ideas and how to pitch to get investors to fund the business.

#EKSUNews
#CareerTipsForStudents
3- It is a skill you have to master as it is not all the time the opportunity to pitch will come bearing the name "Idea Pitch". Sometimes, you find yourself in it before you realize it. So, you must always be prepared.

3- There are many definitions and like I said, I won't make this discussion look like another textbook for you, so I will make sure that it is written in a very simple way for you to understand.

Psychedelic Phase
Musical & Conceptual Parallels
Loneliness
Sky Blue Phase

You can revisit that tweet via the link below:

Now we are at the AFTERSHOW to cover the B sides from that era:

1. She’s Always in my Hair
2. Hello
3. Girl

All of these form an integral part to the various themes of ATWIAD.
SHE’S ALWAYS IN MY HAIR

USA - B side to Raspberry Beret

Europe B side to Paisley Park

This is one of the greatest B sides there ever was in his whole catalogue.

A thread about the four times I met John Lewis:

First of all, I stan John Lewis and Muhammad Ali probably more than any men who ever lived.

Seriously, I could talk all day about those two, and I actually have.
Now most people think of the Civil Rights movement as happening a LONG time ago but John Lewis showed me how recent it all was.

We can’t forget how long he’s been fighting this fight.
Lewis was already an OG in the Civil Rights game when he became one of the ORIGINAL Freedom Riders. He met Rosa Parks when he was 17. MLK came to meet LEWIS when Lewis was 18.

This is complicated. It can be very difficult to make management into a sustainable role when you're trying to be the kind of empathetic and thoughtful manager that people deserve. I'm taking a break from it right now due to burnout. But here are a few thoughts.
The role of management is changing. I don't know how long this has been in progress, but the pressure on managers in tech has gone up sharply in recent years. Seemingly spurred on by the movement towards increasing diversity, equity, and inclusion in the workplace.
The thing that makes the new management difficult is that you're likely to be caught in the middle of parties that have competing and even contradictory incentives. Your direct reports, your executives and sometimes, your peer managers.

Are you one of those people who's looked back on 2017 and convinced yourself that you haven't achieved anything? Worried about catching up with your mates who seem to have done much better?

Let me tell you a story about #time.

A thread 👇
A long #time ago, back when I was about twelve or thirteen years old, my parents travelled to Uyo.

Before leaving, my mother asked me to prepare Edikang ikong soup so she and my father would eat when they returned.
When I was finished with the soup, it was supposed to look something like this:
