If you don’t believe that a young person can be collecting money from home and claim to be studying at Uni for years that’s on you. I have seen this happened with my own eyes. Gained admission, withdrawn in 2nd year for poor performance but spent another 4 years collecting money. As sad as these stories are the parents must share some of the blame. You have to supervise your kids. You have to do due diligence. You need to ask questions even of 25 year olds. If your child do this you will have to forgive them and start afresh. It’s sad but what can you do?

“Never start a business just to make money. Start a business to make a difference.” – Marie Forleo

This video speaks to me. I believe running businesses isn’t just about making money, but solving problems, making impact, and creating value. But doing business in Nigeria and Africa can be a nightmare. The challenges are endless. As a business owner, I deal with poor power supply (a major problem faced by Nigerian businesses), inconsistencies in government policies, as well as lack of access to capital and credit.

I had known from 100 level that I was going to study abroad after graduating from the University of Abuja where I studied Accounting. ASUU strikes and all, I graduated in 2008. Just like everyone else, I was worried about the process and ease of obtaining my academic transcript. An academic transcript is a very important document if you want to study abroad. It’s been almost 15 years since I graduated from Uni and guess what, obtaining academic transcripts from most Federal, State Universities and Polytechnics in Nigeria 🇳🇬 is still a major pain point.

As an entrepreneur who runs a few small businesses, I can tell you that there is more to a business beyond just product or service. Going out of your way to show you care can go a long way.

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.

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.

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.

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.

From my personal experience, it is way easier and more straightforward to get a UK 🇬🇧 student visa than a Canadian or American student visa.

There are currently over a million advertised but unfilled jobs in the UK. So the jobs are here. This is a short thread on what you need. First, Documents Required for Admission Application for UK🇬🇧 Universities:

•WAEC/NECO Result
•Degree Certificate
•University Transcript
•2 References
•A Personal Statement (You MUST explain the potential impact of your degree on the development of your country).

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.

At 23 I graduated from University with a degree in Accounting. I had a clue about what I wanted to do with my life, but nothing was certain. I wasn’t confused but I didn’t have any serious plans, strategy, or answers for the future. 2 years later at 25, things were much clearer. Looking back and reflecting, I wish I knew several things when I started my career 13 years ago. For starters, I wish I knew that it was okay to fail.

If I had known and internalised this, I would have taken more risks, and perhaps would have succeeded.

When I emigrated to the UK 🇬🇧 over a decade ago, sending money back to friends or siblings was a major issue. It’s always one issue or the other; bank charges, transfer charges, delays, excuses and what not. Sometimes, transactions would take several days to complete! For y’all my UK🇬🇧 folks who still face this kind of issue when sending money back home to Nigeria🇳🇬, @chippercashapp is here to the rescue. Chipper Cash is connecting Africa one transaction at a time with an easy-to-use mobile app that makes money transfers fast, secure and FREE.

From 0 subscribers in 2001 to 10 million in 2006 and 50 million in 2013, @MTNNG (Mobile Telephone Network) has grown its subscriber count to over 76.5 million in 2021. Here is everything you need to know about MTN Nigeria as it turns 20. #MTNNigeriaAt20 Overall Best in Digital Inclusion:
@MTNNG has remained dogged in its digital inclusion driveto build Africa’s largest network. 15,552 2G sites, 15,600 3G sites, 10,058 4G sites, 818 rural telephony sites & over 30,000km of fibre optics backbone to support over 70M subscribers.

Again, the United Arab Emirates understand they have to allow the sale of alcohol, cigarettes, sex toy shops etc to attract western tourists.

They earn BILLIONS OF DOLLARS in revenue yearly.

Some of you know nothing than religion and want to remain in abject poverty. SMH 🤦🏾‍♂️ Religion as practiced in Nigeria is mainly used to subjugate the poor and promote political interests.

Open your eyes and enjoy and life. Rich people are having fun.

You are the only one tying morality around your neck and carrying religion on your head with osuka. Wake up.

In 2019, I invested in a property that has now appreciated by almost £40,000 (N26M) in just 2 years. Currently, I am in talks with a very good friend of mine about buying another rental property (a flat) worth £175,000 in an area populated by students. For upwardly mobile professionals, real estate is generally a great investment option. It can help generate passive income on a yearly basis. It can also be a fantastic long-term investment if you buy in a great location and the value increases overtime like mine has done.

Thread on negotiating your salary for your first job, a new role, or a promotion. Please follow this. And share. A study by Linda Babcock found that only about 7% of women attempted to negotiate their first salary, while 57% of men did. And for those who negotiated, they were able to increase their salary by at least 7%. This thread should help you prepare for negotiation.
