Corporate Life

 One day l was asked 2 questions and I am certain some people are still in search of answers. So today #LETS #YAN


His questions


1. Why do employers ask for leadership/ management qualification from candidates who apply for roles that has nothing to do leadership?


2. Why outsource people to fill up managerial roles when the company has staff that has been working for years and know a lot about the company?


In a bid to cut down the up-down chain of decision-making, employers are encouraging a hands-off approach. And for a hands-off approach to being effective, companies look out for staff with a leadership mindset who can think out a solution/ decision without waiting on the management especially when it's an emergency. 


So the next time you’re being interviewed as a cleaner/gateman and you’re asked about your leadership experience don’t frown at it. 


Secondly, I don’t know if there are leaders out there who will hire incompetent people for a management role.


 But if you’re working with a company and you would love to be among the top officials- UPSCALE, IMPROVE, BE BETTER. 

If you don’t want to improve, people will be outsourced and you have no right to frown at it but to love it or accept it. 


It takes maturity 

to realize your incompetence isn’t increasing the company’s revenue. It takes courage to step down for someone else who can do a better job.


 Employers will say take the job as if it's your own even if it means stepping down for someone better as some CEOs do.


People are promoted based on competence not how long they have worked that’s why you may know some employees who are still schooling (when I was much younger I use to be like you have a job why still go to school).


IT’S EASIER to employ a novice for an admin role than employ a novice for a managerial role.

A Poetic Formal Letter to MEMAC Ogilvy

Listening to Rory Sutherland (vice-chairman of the Ogilvy) sparked an infinite interest in marketing in a young writer/social media marketer who’s fantasizing about both of us getting married and building a home together. I am thrilled to say I want to be a part of you (an unpaid internship) position at MEMAC Ogilvy Dubai , United Arab Emirates.  I am passionate about the new meaning of marketing, making marketing Psychological rather than logical. I would love to channel my skills as a writer and Marketing Intern. I'm not going to presume that you don't give a damn about the other ladies I've been with. So, while in Nigeria, I was in a relationship with a Tech company ( JD Lab ) as a writer and social media marketer. I don't typically do this, however, I became intimate with another lady (TEDxMinna) as a writer and social media Team Leader. I swear it wasn't long. I was in charge of managing the social media profiles and producing material for them. These women an...

My Opinion on Public Wedding Proposals

 Some people got engaged before, during, and after valentine's Day. Some people proposed publicly and others in their houses. We get all emotional when we watch videos where she said yes l will marry you regardless of the location (lekki mall, Container Bistro, Michael Garden, etc)   I know you've watched that video where a girl was overexcited and she started screaming and couldn't control her joy. (It's funny to some people, it's spiritual to some but nobody insulted the guy for proposing in public). But when we watch a video where the reply is "embarrassing" especially if the proposal is public we blame the men, insult them, and ask questions like What happen to proposing at home? You should know what your girl likes, does she like it public or hidden? Etc No one asked these questions when the reply was positive WHY??? This is my opinion: women are to be blamed for being in a relationship with someone they can't get married to. Even if a girl wants ...

18th of May, l witnessed a robbery

So 18th May was Avura's birthday and while l was wiping off the dirt on her table caused by the flowers we used to decorate her table l heard someone screaming. Now my first suspension was a movie scene  made Helen and Stella scream but then the scream came again and again. And l was like is stella beating Helen ( I had to clear my suspicions so like someone who has a power of an ant but as brave as an xxx) l stormed out of the room to know why the scream. But to my disbelief it wasn't Helen and stella,  the scream wasn't even coming from the room in which Helen and stella were apparently Helen wasn't getting beaten up. The noise came from the shops outside the building.  And as l approached the window from where l could see the cause for the screaming the scream be became clear. It was a cry for help. A woman was being robbered- they we're with a gun,  that l could see that it was fake. I watched them run back took her Pos machine and her phone, chased a guy who ca...
