You just paid your desired mentor $18,000 to be his mentee.
Please do the naira conversion yourself.
I only convert money I spent on myself because of opportunity cost.

Anyway, amidst the controversy surrounding his integrity and personality, you handover such significant amount to him.

Then you come on social media and see him dancing and celebrating the fact that he has collected the monies from people against expectations. Other men and women around him shaking their bum bum to collecting $18k USD.

What would be your reaction?

This is a honest survey.

I ask because mentorship is someone producing people to be like them in all ramifications, not just about teaching you to make money. It embodies the totality of the human.

I do goofy stuff when I am in the mood so I am not saying someone shouldn't be goofy/ palyful/ childlike.

Is there more to this?

Again how would you feel?

I have utmost respect for businesses who prioritize their restroom cleanliness.

If your business encounters high human traffic then hire cleaner(s) who need to keep making frequent rounds to be sure the restrooms are clean.

Can all the Optometrists explain this phenomenon?

You go for your very first eye appointment and you are told that you need glasses to correct your vision.
They give you prescription for it.

You start using glasses but you vision never gets better.

It just continues to deteriorate and every time you go back for a vision check up, they continue to increase the strength of your prescription.

When does that CORRECTION happen?

Something happened the other day.
I was seated in the car, waiting for my kids to finish their math lessons.
Four asian ladies all wearing black on black walked out of the nail salon next door.
They were closed for the day.

One walked into the latest Lexus SUV and drove off, another walked into a Mazda SUV.

I didn't see what cars the other two drove away in because they had parked further down in the parking lot.

It got me thinking...

This is why it appears like some of us brag about life abroad.

The things we may have been used to as status symbols do not necessarily appear so here.

I personally can walk into a dealership and get a Bently or Lambo approved for me.

Yes. If I could be approved for my current home mortgage, then that is a piece of cake. My debt repayment history ( credit history and score) will help make that happen. Yet, that means almost nothing here.

Wealth isn't really assessed that way here because most people can acquire similar stuff without necessarily having the cash for it.

If I walk into that nail salon these same ladies would put on gloves, bend down and clean my hands and feet, paint it, if I desire and possibly offer me something to drink. At the end of the work day , they collect their pay from their boss then go home to sort out their issues, if any.
I think that is what people in most countries are asking for. The opportunity to survive.

My problem now is that in Nigeria, we have gotten used to downgrading certain jobs because they are servient in nature.

That in itself is enough to stunt the growth of any country.

We should stop belittling honest labor.

This scrub pant is one way I keep myself accountable with my body.

I know if I am doing right by my body or not when I put on this pant.
Some times, I can barely fit in it.
Other times it's a smooth sail with the belly area needing some more work.

Uwam o!! ( my world o).

Na yesterday this content creation really pain me, why I never blow.
Someone accused me of manipulating people who have not eaten to subscribe to my page and be spending N350.

If not Uncle Mark who gave me that task that I should add it as a pinned comment in all my posts, why would I want your N350?😭😭

Me The AbroadNurse , N350?

Odoziaku! Ori ade! Manipulating people to subscribe?

Okokobioko.

With all my manipulation,how many people have subscribed kwa nu?

If not that we don't want to be revealing money spent to assist people on this blue street.

Based on track record, some people in similar position would feel entitled to such but we gift out of pure love and compassion, not to impress anyone or expect anything in return.

Another one said I should stay there and continue begging for followers.

Please follow my page o. I beg you!🤣
Na who shame catch dey hungry.

Since it is drama that sells on this blue street, I am here for it.

Next of kins received this through birth canal route.
If only they know what their mother went through to get this.

If they were born in kanfanchan, they would have received this still.

If you ask me what I should be paid as a nurse, I will tell you a million dollars and more.
Is that realistic? No.

I don't think any entry level RN here in the U.S should be earning less than $80/hr. So as years of experience and all cones to play, it goes higher.

So I ask nurses in Nigeria, realistically, given cost of living and all, what should a Registered Nurse be paid monthly?

If you are going to go far in life, you have to be willing to learn and unlearn things, behaviors etc.

If we must grow as an individual
If we must grow as a community
If we must grow as a nation,
We must be deep thinkers!

You can't create solutions to a problem if you don't know what the problems are to begin with.
You must not know all of someone's plans to understand their intentions.

There is a reason why companies carry out surveys.
I asked a question here about nursing salaries in Nigeria.
So many of you gave your opinions, experiences and knowledge and I appreciate your time and contribution.

From that my post, one person has gotten someone who is willing to pay half her Nclex fee.
Another person is working with her to render some help when she is ready.

Why? because she was very patient and provided answers to question after question.
I even felt the person was asking too many follow up questions but Ifeoma Hampo was very patient in answering them all, to the best of her knowledge.

The person asking learnt a few things. I did also.

Thank you for contributing.

"NEXT OF KIN" is to have someone to notify or reach out to in emergency.
Here in the U.S, it is called "EMERGENCY CONTACT "

Omo!
That wedding that happened in Anambra on Saturday where the bride was carried by throne bearers and the groom had the head of a lion on his shoulder ,who are they bikonu?

Don't come and tell me how I should know him because he is the King father.

If you know them already good for you. I don't and I am interested in knowing more but I need leads before I can "use Google"🙄.

Which event center was used for that wedding?

I love massive space.

Wahala! Wahala! My Yoruba brothers and sisters are upset!

I have been getting notifications but never had time to go through them.
I finally did and realized most of them were on that post I made about Iyabo Ojo.

Dem don abuse me tire. I choptas not anyway.

One said I claimed to watch a lot of yoruba movies but now forming I don't know Iyabo.
Did I say I watch a lot of yoruba movies?
I said I love yoruba movies( the few I have watched). Their acting is more natural to me than English nollywood.

One person listed all of Iyabos business. Wetin concern me?
One talked about Mohbad. I also never heard of him until his death. Then, I even asked someone to tell me a song he sang. Turned out I know the song but not the artist.

One talked about housewives something, what is my business with that? Do you know how many housewives shows they have here? Have I watched any of them?

Just like big brother. I have never watched that program and don't intend to.

I didn't know bambam until this latest movie that brought her out.

Even the Odogwu himself just looked vaguely familiar to me.

One said I downgraded her. Chai!
That's what you got from that post?

The kind of crowd she pulled and the classic events she hosted for her daughter got me very impressed and that's why I asked who is this woman I don't know.

Are you sure you all passed through school bayi?

If you spend all your time and data on tiktok and IG following celebrities, that's not what I do.
Whatever Facebook algorithm brings my way is what I know and talk about ( If I choose to).

I am also looking for ways to make impact; positively in people's life. Afterall, others were not given 10 heads.

Continue to huff and puff on that post. I am loving it.
Let's get it to a thousand reactions since comprehension is very far from so many people.

This is why the country is at the level it's
at and some innocent ones are suffering it.

I am already in Tanzania waiting for the final wedding showdown . Do you have your invite?

Meanwhile, take a scoop of ice cream, because e be like the weather is too hot for simple comprehension.

Bloggers will be the end of Nigeria, If care is not taken.

I have a soft spot for Obi Cubana maybe because his wife is from my place Obosi and his Oba people also married my elder sister.

Anyway I was shocked to see a news trending about his adopted son trying to claim next of kin and Obi quickly doing damage control.

For whatever reason, this " next of kin" started trending weeks ago. I don't know the source.

I do know that Obi cubana has always referred to ALL his sons as his next of kin.

See the screenshot of a video he made days ago.
I saw that video the day it was posted. He called all of them "next-of-kins". Notice he used PLURAL!🙄.

The young man just made a video, in line with that title.

Obi has ALWAYS ' showcased' his other son. He was the only one we saw dance on the eve of his father's birthday. We also saw him being introduced to dignitaries at the birthday. I believe he is the one into a clothesline. He didn't post that response because the other son used that term. I believe he is too emotionally intelligent for that.

That being said, when you adopt a child, that child has equal rights as any biological child you have. I mean equal, unless you decide to be wicked.

Also what do we really understand " next of kin" to mean?

Next of kin does not mean heir. Yes I said it.
Though your next of kin can be your heir.

Next of kin is your closest living relative ( kids or spouse) and this includes adopted family members .

It's just that in Nigeria we have equated that title to mean heir.

We just enjoy causing so much damage just for clicks and engagement.

I pour spit on all the people causing trouble.
