Get a job where you can work from anywhere in the world. Don't be tied down here
A couple of my friends are earning in dollars and spending in Naira, get the skills, work for a while... Japa.
These days, it's skills over degrees, especially undergraduate degrees here in Nigeria
We have people stuck in jobs with no clear career path, some because they can't afford to upgrade their skill set, others don't know what clear path to take.
One job in high demand today is data analysis. The world now makes decisions based on data except "coughs"
Data analysis spans every sector, yes including football, It was a data analyst that recommended Mo Salah to Liverpool based on data.
We already do it at some level, especially the people comparing Ronaldo and Messi. Why not earn from it instead.
The question is how?
Data has no emotions, Data is data and influences decisions these days. Even if you are a teacher, you could use data analysis to measure the attendance and performance of your student and make better decisions.
That is the kind of teacher sought after worldwide. Data is King
I know by now, you are seeing the possibilities in your field @FutureofworkA thought of you
A 25-hour class to help you learn how to collect data, analyze and more importantly discover patterns that others don't see.
I was on the streets of Lagos recently asking people, "who decides how many children a couple has?" Most men said: The man of course
Most women said: Both of us
I asked the men a second question, "How many times have you followed your female partner to a gynaecology visit?
Went ahead to ask, why though? Why haven't you been readily available for family planning visits for a decision that impacts both of you? One answered: “my own is to provide the money, her own is to go for the visit.” This mindset is prevalent in a lot of African homes
For a long time, most men especially in this world see family planning as a women's affair. Men have been rarely involved when it comes to sexuality, birth spacing, reproductive health etc. When you place that against what we have here where traditionally, men lead many homes
Tying a tourniquet above a snake bite is old fashioned advice and can lead to problems
For instance it can concentrate the venom around that body part which can lead to that body having to be cut off because of gangrene or even death because as soon as the tourniquet is released
The venom can go directly to the heart.
The most important thing after a snake bite is to KEEP CALM. The faster your heart beats, the faster the venom spreads around the body causing more harm.
2. Make sure the person CAN'T move. Movement makes blood supply to the heart faster
Do not move the body part that has been bitten.
If it is a leg, then get a stick and tie it to the other limb so that it is immovable;
If the snake bites the arm. Tie the arm to the body. Check the image below for pointers
Till today, a lot of Nigerians on the streets still believe that former president Sani Abacha died from an apple that a lady gave him to eat.
Meanwhile, there were reports it was from liver cirrhosis, a condition where a lot of liver cells die and is replaced by scars.
Your liver does a lot of jobs for you, from making sure that it removes toxins from your body, to making proteins that allow your blood clot properly, some drugs become active or inactive in your body thanks to your liver
It's an important organ. One of the most important
Funny enough, the liver has this insane ability to regenerate new cells when it loses old ones
You can cut off a part of the liver and it'll try and grow back
But unfortunately, some chemicals eg alcohol and diseases like hepatitis can cause widespread injury of the liver cells
