TheBTCinvestor: My God...I remember when I used to work In the Diamond bank now Access bank in 2013 as a full staff marketer....I was bashed because of low figures, disgraced during MPR, talked down on my colleagues, my salary was poor and I felt my future was bleak. It was a long struggle till I left for keystone bank and the harassment to meet deposit and risk asset continued...Imagine being told to raise 400m in 6month I was always responding to queries stating why i havent met 60percent of my target..this affected me in many ways and I still have PTSD. Omo thank God....My Jehova came thru and gave me a good oil and gas offer that disgraced my enemies...They thought they had won by kicking me out..little did they know God had a better plan. Bank job is not for the weak!!!..I totally understand her frustration. Funny thing is if you don't meet up those target, na basic salary you go dey collect, come get query join.

Kingrshd3: May God bless you for.this writeup similarly happened to my before I started my civil service job in Lagos .
This guy was no more or less than a street uneducated tout he is like a younger brother to me but u know men don't usually use age sometimes to make friends with each other as long as u guys are playing football or games together. So on this fateful day this same rough tout looking guy called me on phone to meet him somewhere and immediately ask me if I will work with the state government as a civil servant 🤔 I first looked at him like a fool and I didn't want to answer the question but at the same time I just want to push him forward by saying YES just for me to see if he will request for money for slot or so and that's when the deal will stop 🛑
Surprisingly he didn't request for anything so he asked me to register on the website and bring the slip to him this and that and I did ..
I was doing them since he didn't request money from me 🤔 To my greatest surprise the day we went for interview we were up to 62,000 applicant like d population is mad and have given up already..
On the deal day that they will call people for appointments letter this same guy called me to get prepared and I was like 😑 OK..
And immediately I hang up his call because I didn't even allow him finish the conversation because I believe he is deceiving himself ..
That same night watawowo I was called and I he called me again 20 minutes time after I was called to confirm 😂😆
That's when I realize u don't have to underated people , you don't know who is who, you don't know who will connect you to ur success in life.. Just try to be good to everyone 🙏

Actually, cravings has been around in many African women from times past to times present.
Here is a quote from a study done a long time ago (1980's)
That's from a 1985 paper.
The reasons why women eat such funny food is because their body is undergoing changes induced by the hormones in the body
It has always been there. It is because the current generation of women is educated, has the internet , and can talk about it that old secrets are being flogged in the open.
(A fun anecdote from one doctor i knew..older doctor. He once treated a woman who in pregnancy developed a taste for the clay lining of her hut. Apparently it tasted teally good.)..

newnig: That's an old quote that I already know. If you think I am being proud, then the nuts in your head needs to be rechecked. You call educating folks about the possibilities in the private sector being proud? Did I talk about my current or previous earnings? Or because some people think that N150k is big money, others shouldn't aspire higher? You kids are clowns.
When you get that N50k job you are looking for, you will understand what the rest of us are saying. Life is in phases; Men are in sizes. I have worked N20k monthly job in the past, I wasn't comfortable. I wished I had a N100k job then. When the N80k job came, I didn't want N100k job anymore because my responsibilities were becoming bigger, I wanted N150k at least. So if I tell you for instance that today I want N600k monthly, it's my current reality. The type of projects I have put my legs into are not the type that a N300k monthly salary can finance or sustain. Others are looking for 3m monthly, that's their reality. I can't say they are greedy or ungrateful. Na them know Wetin dey their front. Why is Dangote building a refinery? Is he not rich enough? He should allow other businessmen grow too nau? Those will be the words of the businessman who is worth just 10m naira Do you think an ex-senator will accept a directorship position in NCC? He may accept to be the EVC or Board Chairman but never a career director. That's growth!
Growth and change should be constant in a man's life. Complacency is one of the foundation of poverty. Do not be complacent but also do not be ungrateful. If someone comes on here and says she earns 350k, it's only gross stupidity, sheer ignorance and a poverty mindset that will make you say such person is lying because your reality is different from hers. And the fact that we all converge on the same thread does not mean we are all looking for the same thing. It's the same reason someone is leaving NCC for NUPRC, NDIC to ECOWAS etc. I can bet some people here will say "if I get NCC ehn, I will never leave. I will retire there", yet people are leaving there to places they presume better. If you do not understand this still, your case is irredeemable.
Minimum wage in 2019 was approximately $83, minimum wage in 2024 is approximately $25 and you want us to be hyping N130k. As a matter of fact, that should be the new minimum wage and it's still poor. No wonder the government will add N10,000 to minimum wage and you all will be jubilating.

Here is the truth about most of this Big company he mentioned.... There are Full staffs, this one's are very low percentage of the total workforce, they are the ones earning all those big money mentioned here and they have their own price they pay for those money too. Now the majority of the workforce comprises of Contract staffs, this one's earn lower and got not benefits except Salary. They often have same degree that the Full staff has, just lack of opportunity, they usually make up the larger amount of the workforce. So positioning matters . Don't just hear so so so Bank and think everyone in that Bank earn those big amount. Most earn Peanuts, they are contracted to middlemen agencies 11 Likes 1 Share |

There're people earning very low salary that can do the same thing you're doing that earns you high salary but what they lack is time and opportunity.
Be grateful where you're, pray and hope for more.
Fact. It's all time and chance. And sometimes what is often not mentioned is the serious stress that comes with those high earning, have worked in a Multi National as a contract Staff before , and while this Full staffs earn big money, You can see the stress and pressure, some even resigned at a point when they couldn't handle it any longer.

Ignore this people. Most of them are still corpers 😂. Everyone wants to start big. Nobody is saying 130k is big, but you are jobless, they offered you 130k job are you going to reject it because it can't cater for your expenses? Or you doing 130k job are you going to resign and go back to nothing because 130k job can't cater for your expenses. Let it be loud and clear, nobody is in support of 130k job,all I'm saying is that you manage what you have and look for a bigger opportunity and not by committing suicide because you are underpaid I was once earning 80k in a private Coy and I was Okay, u won't know that's what I Collect, cut my dress to my size. It's all about mindset, some people who say 130k isn't enough are those who want to buy Generator, fuel Generator, Do DSTV sub, go to vacation every weekend etc inside the money, they want to live a life of 300k with 130k. Someone else will cut out some stuff and still be good till they find something better. As we move on the ladder of success , priorities are adjusted accordingly. 21 Likes |

Let me drop this one here. I was an N-Power Teacher collecting 30k in FCT before our tenure expired in June 2020 during the Covid 19. Some of us were asked to stay back as a PTA teacher since there was no teacher to teach our subjects at that moment with a monthly take home of 20k. Guess what, it was only one person that accepted the offer because we feel it's like we are going backwards instead of forward. I stayed at home for more than 6 months looking for good job but none seems forth coming. Bills begin to pill up, I moved out of self-Com to one room. Food and other things become a problem because I was using the 15k home lesson as the only means of survival. I tried private school but it didn't work out because they will used you like tomorrow no dey 😂 with their peanut called salary and you will not have time to do other things. Early 2022, the place I teach as N-Power ask me to come back as PTA teacher, I told them that it will be on part time basis since they really need me even though I needed the money 😂 and they agreed. At the middle of 2022, one of my friends ask me to come and work as a Monitor with WHO. So anytime there is a program(4 days or 2days as the case maybe), we will be called to monitor it at LG level and our pay is 11k until November 2022 before they increase it to 21k. Mind you, the program is not every month(let say 6-8months in a year). If it's election time, I will either work with INEC or a party Agent. I have one of my guy that works with a Cyber Cafe before, he always refer some of his customers to me during some registration like civil defence, fire service, army e.t.c I'm doing all these make hunger no finish me 😂 My school is 7mins from my house so no TP. Home Lesson sometimes I use my legs 😂 so I spend roughly 3k for TP. So what I earned in a month is like 30k. Monitoring work and other ones are just like bonus to me. As you can see, if I see the 70k na to pop champagne be that na 😂 I can't and will never think of suicide because who knows tomorrow? Some people have to beg TP when they are going for interview. If you see what others are passing through, you will be rolling on the floor in thanksgiving. I have not been to hospital for more than 5yrs now even though na 0-1-1 or something 0-0-1. Glory be to Almighty God for everything he has done and with believe he will give me my dream job before the end of this year Amen.
