Dear Nigerian Entrepreneurs, it’s 2022 and we must do things differently! That’s what smart entrepreneurs do. So, as you are working on those new year resolutions, please remember to commit to giving your business your all this year.
Commit to learn and unlearn certain ideologies and most importantly, commit to network!
I have made a commitment to share genuine opportunities with you throughout this year, starting with an opportunity for people interested in the Non-oil sector.
By now you should know I am particular about this sector this year because numbers don’t lie! So, if you already operate in this sector or aspiring to, you need to know about @fidelitybankplc's Export Management Programme.
I have been doing a lot of reading and research lately on some interesting trends that will likely reshape the Nigerian economic landscape in 2022 and what I can advise is for the Nigerian SMEs to please take seriously the non-oil sector.
It’s quite interesting to note that the non-oil sector was a major driver of the strong economic growth in Nigeria in Q2 2021 as stated by the Minister of Finance and Budget Planning – Zainab Ahmed.
This trend is likely to continue as several financial institutions are investing heavily in this sector.There’s likely something they’ve seen that we haven’t seen. For Instance, @fidelitybankplc’s unparalleled support for Non-Oil Export Businesses in Nigeria has been outstanding.
When I finished my MSc in 2011, I moved from Coventry to London where I immediately started a role as a Sales Assistant at Cancer Research UK. It was a voluntary role. I only worked 6 hours twice a week. I took on this role because I wanted to gain UK work experience on my CV.
I then got a role as a Customer Service Advisor at IKEA in Wembley, London. My Italian Manager at Cancer Research was so kind, she wrote me a reference for the role at IKEA. The pay wasn’t great, but I wanted to get more experience in the UK and improve my CV.
I got another role as a Call Centre Advisor at Fusion Contact Centre in Coventry. I was interviewed for this role and wasn’t selected. I applied again, got interviewed and got the job. All this while, I was applying for better jobs/PhD opportunities and was getting rejections.
In the last 10 years, I have been contacted by several international students who ran into trouble with their Universities per plagiarism. Most of them were able to pull through after taking advice, making amends, or putting forward a strong case. Some, unfortunately, did not.
Dear international students, you want to try as much as possible to avoid being in a position where you are accused of plagiarism. It can damage your academic record and even make you fail your course. You don't want all your money, time, and effort will go to waste.
Plagiarism happens when you present the written works and ideas of other people as your own original thoughts, works and ideas. Basically, this is cheating and cheating is academic misconduct. Try your best and avoid getting caught in this web.

I have always been interested in academia. I knew I had to start from somewhere to 'cut my teeth.' I did this by applying for an Associate Lecturing role in January 2014. I was already in the final year of my PhD at Loughborough University, a top 5 Business School in the UK 🇬🇧.
I was beyond blown away, excited, and happy when I applied and bagged my first big role as a Lecturer in Management in 2015. The application and interviewing process took sweat, pain and blood.
I remember staying up at night perfecting my application, then, searching for resources and articles per interviewing for an academic job in the UK 🇬🇧. I also spoke to some of my friends and senior colleagues. I got some tips and hints which were helpful.
