We will take some questions at the end of the chat.
Welcome on board sir @felabankolemoh. I am ready when you are.

Sorry to distract you from this important conversation started by #Falz. I've got some great news for you my followers and friends. Issa thread.
So many big organisations are looking to capitalise on data to improve their processes and save time. This is a very exciting time to start a career in Business Intelligence/Data Science.
Being able to look at various pieces of data and drawing a conclusion is probably the most valuable skill for any employee to have. Surprisingly, it's something that's too often missing.
Dear International Students from Nigeria, welcome to England. Some of you will meet new folks who will become lifelong friends here. Others will meet life partners here. Follow laid down rules. Don’t engage in fraud. Don’t trust anyone with bank or personal details. Stay safe.
Apply for your NI as soon as possible. Apply for a provisional drivers licence (if you didn’t get an international drivers licence from Nigeria), join societies, attend Nigerian-related networking events, join non-Nigerian groups & integrate into the society as much as you can.
Cut out the “yes sir yes ma.” In most instances, Dave is Dave and Richard is Richard. Oh, you can use your left hand to pass things to people too, no one cares 🙂
Invited to speak on Strategies of Job Creation in #Nigeria at a Policy Dialogue organised by the Ibadan School of Govt and Public Policy in conjunction with Office of the Vice President & the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa. Looking forward to a productive outing.
You want to pay N5,000 as tuition, you don’t want to pay for electricity or convert to proper meter that produces the accurate electricity used and you get billed. But you want Nigeria to progress.
Fight me if you like. Nigeria will not progress with tuition of 10k, 30k.
“Dipo stop comparing Nigeria to the UK and Canada.”
But today you want to compare Nigeria to Germany??
😅😅😅 we will all be alright 🙂
Shocked I am being called elitist over this short thread. I don’t know how an average Nigerian like myself can be elitist.
Every Nigerian needs to read this and reflect deeply.
I am 100% sure Osinbajo, El Rufai, Donald Duke, Frank Nweke Jnr and Ribadu will be able to answer these questions. GEJ and Buhari? I doubt it.
Nigeria has just been unlucky in the last 10 years or so per its selection of leaders. And this is partly President Obasanjo's fault, initially. Great leaders are good at succession planning. Obasanjo could have done better. He had El Rufai, Ribadu but chose Yaradua.
1. Write down your primary career goals. 2. Identify short-term goals (1-2 yrs). 3. Identify your long-term goals (5-10 years). 4. Identify the resources, skills, qualifications & experience you need to achieve your short-term & long-term goals. 5. Get a mentor.
HOW TO FIND A MENTOR: 1. Study the person you intend to be their mentee. Research their experience/skills. 2. Reach out to them via email, phone or in person, if it is someone in your network. 3. If it is someone who doesn’t currently know you, cold calling confidently can help.
4. Please be able to articulate what you want via email and in person (if presented with the opportunity). Don't ramble on or write long incoherent emails.
5. If possible, engage in conversations with the potential mentor on Twitter or LinkedIn and get them to notice you.
