Career / Re: Tell Us About Your Experience As A Contract Staff Member (Outsourcing) by patlead: 5:24pm On Dec 04, 2013
I joined a major pension firm in Nigeria as a contract staff, a company that if u mentioned its name , all ur friends will just scream ,baba o! (like too much money, u knw what i mean)

I worked my head off, did my supervisor’s(full time employees) job without stress and i never complained to them, but trust me i was complaining to God. I kept my attitude intact, never felt inferior , and never allowed no one talk to me as trash.infact if u talked me down, i would use a much more calmer tone and give u my piece of mind calmly(u sef go know say na condition make crayfish bend) .I got several promotions that would earn me like additional 5k or 8k or 10k(but really what would that amount do for a grown person in 2013)

The worst part is that as long as i was a contract staff, it was affecting my opportunities of getting employed in a good firm, maybe because they usually felt that the pay they are offering is way bigger than what i was earning. I learnt everything i could learn, enjoyed every thing i could enjoy while at it and continued to pray to God.
I was been paid 52k and fast forward, 4 yrs later, went for an interview with another firm after like 9 months i was called to resume.
I am not there yet,but am glad i dropped the red tag called outsource/contract or whatever tushness it is called. In my opinion, its a trap to any Good employees career.
If you are in this shoe right now, please pray well and look well and learn all you can so that when u have the opportunity, you can shine.

Mr knowitall.:
^^^^yeah I mean a degree in computer science is much better....well what type of job or who do you plan on working for when you get here?

looking to work in an IT firm. Now that you know that i have a degree in computer science, what courses will you suggest i run that will still be relevant over there
Travel / Re: What IT Certificate/course Done In Nigeria Can Still Be Relevant In USA? by patlead: 9:53am On Jun 21, 2013
Mr knowitall.:
A certificate wont do you any good really...a degree is much better...then all you would have to do is just take a test or whatever.....but a certificate doesn't mean anything...because the certificate could have been given to you by your uncle in Makoko..so they dont trust it...cheers


Thanks all for your advices.

@mr knowitall do u mean a degree in computer science ?cos as far as I know dere are no degrees in comptia,cisco and d likes in nigeria(I may be wrong though).

The certificates mentioned are globally recognised buh I will like you to give an example of IT firms that offer internationally recognised degree in des IT courses.thanks

NB-already have a regular nigerian degree in engineering

Thanks all, i eventually got a cheap apartment for ourselves, also planning to get a cheap one for parents too, but my dad just doesnt seem to like the idea that i cannot afford a 3 bedroom for them rite now. he thinks i have all d funds and will not spend it on them.infact, he hung up on me today while i was trying to explain why i cannot come up with the cost of renting a 3 bedroom bungalow.

people, my relationship with them has gone sour, on the other hand, i feel like its too much burden for a young upcoming man, is this feeling normal?
Family / Re: She Is Not A Liability!!!! by patlead: 7:57am On Apr 12, 2013
I have followed dis thread religiously.in my own case she's willing to work not to be a financial liability but she just doesn't seem to find any.we are about getting married and I can feel the burden of having to plan the wedding alone without any reasonable financial commitment.This makes me skeptical on going ahead with the whole marriage things.please advise a young upcomin man

Family / Accomodation For Nuclear Family Or Family To Be- Whats Your Take? by patlead: 12:03pm On Mar 25, 2013
While i know that people here may or maynot relate with my tale.

I am the eldest of of my siblings and close to thirty years of age with a fiance and a job that pays about 70k monthly. my parents are in lagos and do not have a very good accomodation to stay, infact they have been ejected and given a 2 month grace to move out of the house. I and my fiance have been planning our wedding and the first step we took was to get an apartment(which ended up being a scam, after we had paid half the cost, we are trying to retrieve the money now).

Currently, i have some funds saved up, but it can only pay for one apartment. my parents have found a house which they are indirectly requesting i pay and me and my fiance have also found another house. The question now is which do i pay for? ours(we are yet to be married) or my parents(for sibling and honor sake). please note that Dad and Mum cant even raise a 20k to pay for the apartment also my fiance does not know the current state of my parents rent.

i will appreciate healthy and wise criticism/advice

Car Talk / Re: Share Your Stories Of Mechanics Who Tried To Scam/Rip You Off by patlead: 11:59am On May 26, 2012
Oga...ti mo ba handle motor yin...eyin gan ma gba....i no no sey na kill him wan kill ma moto.

Mio o kin charge customer......see something as if na charity him dey run.

Run for mechanics who have too many cars in their custody, try as much as possible to know your car, for example you have a flat battery, you just rush to a guy by the road...guy i wan rent bat3, ok, he brings the battery and your car just clicks and does not start(his bat3 is also low)at this point he wants to start touching your ECU(i wan slap the guy with the back of my hand) the guy get the point(instantly i entered the market and bought me a new battery.

Lesson-know your car well
look for signs that may be indicative of a fault
remember they are not educated, they cant read jack
buy your parts, pay them for labour
Never leave your car overnight, except its a major work on the car.
