Juwon - The Comedian

Image
Three comedians were billed to perform at an event.  Juwon was called up to perform after two comedians had already performed.  At the end of the event, Juwon walked up to some attendees to ask about his performance and if they loved it. Most of the people he spoke to said he was great on stage.馃憦馃徑馃憦馃徑 Some of the guys he asked said that the guy who performed before him said very dirty stuffs, he was rude & got so many persons disgusted but Juwon's performance was ethically funny. Juwon was happy but still wanted to know what he did wrong on stage.  He kept asking until he asked a guy. The guy said ' Well, I think you tried but your jokes were not DEEP’. Juwon was curious to know what the word DEEP is, so he asked, what do you mean by ‘deep’, Sir? The guy replied ‘ Okay for example, the comedian before you killed it. My goodness! He said some ‘bed situation’ between a man and woman, I laughed hard where I was. Juwon left with mixed feelings.  He didn't know whet...

Nawa For you馃槒

Since you graduated from the University, nobody has benefited from you in any way not even your Mother & father. On your Dad's birthday last year, you sent 'Hbd Dad' through text so that you won't have to pay N8 to MTN.馃き On your Mum's birthday (you tried small sha), you wrote it in full - 'Happy Bd, Mum.' 馃ぃ Na wa for you馃槄 No gifts, no calls, nothing... You say, they should understand that you are still unemployed. Do you not know that there's something called parents blessing? A blessing that is provoked by a surprise gift or effort that is beyond expectations. The worth of a gift is the way, style or manner it is given and efforts put in it presentation. When your parents pray for you because they are seeing your effort to make them happy, you should begin to rejoice and get your cv ready. Most people have gotten strange blessings and have found favour at interview rooms as a product of the prayers of their parents. This coming Sunday(March 19th,...

Why Job Seekers Must Vote Tomorrow?

The Government in most African countries is the largest employer of labour.  If you use Nigeria as a case study, you will realise that the major employer of Labour here is FG.  Programs like - N-power, N-teach , Nigeria Jubilee Program and many others were designed to reduce the number of persons unemployed.  Although, pay may not be so great but at least you can put food on your table.  As reported in March 2022, the second major employer of labour in Nigeria is Dangote. Fundamentally, the FG needs support from the Private Sector to help reduce the unemployment rate.  See ehn, in a normal setting - The President of any nation selects his team of tactful and skilled people who can pierce into lingering issues of concern and suggest ways of attracting high employers of labour. They recommend their possible solutions, get approval and then execute.  Employers are always motivated to setup businesses if policies are favourable to them making profit, environme...

Stone or Potatoes?

Kai!! Some people are just too soft to succeed in life.  Just small obstacle on their way to getting something, they will throw in the towel immediately and start sulking. Once they apply once for anything and they don't get it or get rejected once, that's the end. They won't try again.  Small stress/pressure at work, they will start thinking of quitting. They have an appointment with someone, just a slow and steady traffic on the road, they are already thinking of cancelling the appointment. You find someone who wrote a book that no one bought even his family members and as a result he has concluded that he won't write anything not even his name again. Even when it comes to relationship, you will hear a lady who is 35 say 'All men are the same'. If you ask her to tell you how many relationships she has been in, you will be shocked when she tells you 'One' when she was 25 years old.  Just a not-nice experience with one man and you locked your heart and t...

A different fight馃憡

Image
As a PO at a general election in Nigeria . I saw a mate from NYSC many years back, I asked him how he was doing, he said fine. He told me that he presently isn't working like that. Why? He does a once in a while job that pays him like N10,000 monthly and said he is fine with that. I asked him, where he stays. Apparently, his parents have their own house in Lagos. He stays there. I whispered in my soul (no wonder). He CAN reject strategic jobs but not me. I that came to Lagos after service through night bus and started squatting with a friend who was squatting with another friend. After 4 months, we had to leave. I am grateful for what I have been able to do, gather, invent and still doing everyday. See this your, I can't do this, I can't do that is a statement that mustn't cross your mouth even if it crosses your mind at times. You take some jobs because they are what you have now while looking for what you truly want. It's in the night that a hustler, will know tha...

Men Rarely Cry PUBLICLY

Men rarely cry publicly. 馃槩 When you see an able-bodied man burst into tears before his son who is 10years old because how tough life is, he has held back too much in times past, he can't hide his tears anymore. Please tell me if any or all of these questions have ever crossed your mind: Q1- How do I know I will even succeed when it doesn't look like it?  Q2- What's the guarantee that a day will come when everything will eventually pay off? After all of this routine of waking very early in the morning, reading books, starving one's self to do online courses, setting up a small business, being discipline, being responsible, if a person eventually doesn't overcome scarcity and live comfortably, then life will be rated as unfair.  When thoughts like this start sneaking into your mind, you will have to shut them up with God's word and also the story of men like you who had worse background with life treating them unfairly but held tightly unto the only thing they ha...

One Resolution You Must Make

Image
I am guessing you probably must have written all the things you will start doing this year down and pinned them on the reminder board of your heart. 馃憦馃徑馃憦馃徑 A good new year resolution to add would be that 'I will help more people get what they want, for as I do that, I am closer to what I want'.  You can even say:  'Even if an opportunity doesn't seem useful to me given my course or field, I will try my best to share as far as possible so that the people who need it can see it.' It means that, when there are vacancies at your office, you share.  When there are opportunities that you think will benefit others even if it's not very useful to you, you make it known to the public.  Simple, isn't it? Yes it's. I practice this. When you do these things, you make it impossible for people to forget you and not like you. You see, when people like you, they will speak and stand for you.  They will greet you in darkness and smile when you are approaching.  They wi...
