Jobs/Vacancies / Re: An Urgent Decision On A Job Offer by switchfoot: 10:12am On Jul 30, 2015
Hi,
Allow me give my opinion based on experience, current realities and all the elements you mentioned.
A job of 250K will not give you near easy life style you enjoying in the USA.

Our transport system is not smooth yet, You need a good vehicle to move around and it comes expensive, Banks support is there but extreme interest rate, fueling & maintenance is another leg that is critical on fund dependent.

Constant power or at least 16 hours a day, though relative improvement in past weeks hoping it last long, but this is Nigeria where we are optimistic even when things are bad, at that you need at least one generator and inverter to sustain a comfortable life without stress, maintain your cooling systems and edibles. again another critical leg is fueling & maintenance which is money.

Housing, unless your family owns a building where you can lay claim to an apartment, you will pay between 700k - 2m to get a comfortable apartment on the mainland since the office is situated on the Island, though the farther you go into Lagos the lower the rates, but higher cost on time & transportation hereby affecting quality of life. Home set up & bills are another related cost.

Vacation & Holiday, your basic salary will not buy your ticket back to Yankee unless you buy 6 months ahead talk less of a proper vacation.

Earning 250k will give you a comfortable fair life in Nigeria, but you will have to manage and squeeze a lot, especially on cost of basic amenities and infrastructure. I earned about 250K three years back and I understand what it was, don't get me wrong it is not bad to earn 250k when coming through the ranks. Thinking about all the other elements supporting your stay you have a good reason to remain where you are.

To relocate you need a job that will pay you net 650k upward which is very possible with your resume, You will enjoy and explore more if you earn good money in Nigeria this I know for sure.

Keep & Stay Positive Bro.

Jobs/Vacancies / Re: should I retain or take this new job - pls advice by switchfoot: 9:02pm On Dec 30, 2014
Hey Buddy, take it. Life is a risk, Face life with confidence & courage. I had a similar situation 2007, I got a 3 months contract job with same MTN doubled my current pay which was a permanent job. With counsel from my late mum and his Grace I took it. It led to many opportunities and I have moved up & done pretty well in my career. Please pray about it but take it.

Health / Re: Doctor in the House: Free Medical Advice Available by switchfoot: 8:26am On Feb 16, 2012
Hi Dr,
I woke up around 1:am 2 days ago with a headache, I assume it was because I slept on the rug so I moved into the room to have a proper sleep on the bed, I woke up 5am same day and I felt dizziness, i waited for about 2 mins before standing up.
I went on with my day which was very normal. I got home the following day from work and I felt tired so I choose to have a 10mins nap on the couch but on standing up I felt diziness again, ever since then every time I lay down or stand up from laying down, I feel dizzy. I did not experience any pain, headache except the diziness pls what can be the cause.
thank you

Family / Re: Betrayed By : by switchfoot: 10:05am On Jul 01, 2010
Thanks so much for your counsels, I sincerely appreciate.
I switched on my phone last night and as expected chains of sms dropped in from her, less that 5 minutes into that, her call came in, before she spoke I asked her why she choose to betray us , I asked why she choose to be evil by committing such act, I told her am not interested in what transpired between her and the lover but why did she betray my trust, respect and all.
After the call, I went home to meet her because I felt I needed to hear her, she said she has no explanation for her actions that if I send her packing am justify but she regrets and she is ashamed of herself, I ask her for the period of time she has been cheating on herself but I realise probing deep into her affairs only triggers the beast in me so I stopped. I so much felt like hitting her but I controlled my nerves.
I have actually been praying for the strength to forgive her totally, I know it is hard, the thought keeps replaying, but the truth is divorce is out of my options for now. I told her to resign so that she can be with me here in Lagos, i don’t want to involve family members for now, it is either they make or mar the whole thingy and I don’t want the situation to degenerate into something more difficult to handle.
Since my trust has been brutalised, her resignation has to be done within 24 hrs, either she is paid her entitlement or not I care not, but by tonight I expect her to have quit her job, upon arrival she will be going for a pregnancy test to know ahead if there is a fruit for her adultery. If negative fine and if positive am sorry she has to abort.
It really a tough one, my home is like a grave yard, the silence, the guilt, the cold. No man wants to go through this.
Family / Betrayed By : by switchfoot: 3:25pm On Jun 30, 2010
Hello,
Kindly counsel.
It such a tough one for me right now, I dated my wife for 5 years before we got married, throughout the period of dating it was so cool although we had our share of challenges but we knew each other pretty well to want to live together forever. In the course of our dating my wife got a good job with a very good pay in Abuja while I remained in Laos, nevertheless hardly do we spend a weekend apart from each other, before we got married, we discussed the issue of distance and she made it known that getting a transfer to Lagos is no biggie in her coy as long as she has all necessary documents to support her claim.
Hardly had we been married for a month when serious arguments started springing up, so many a time we would argue and drag issue until we both resolve it, a couple of times we degenerate into names calling, but we always settle and apologise to each other, we adopted to pray together every morning and we move on fine.
Sometimes in our 4th month my wife call rate started reducing, she no longer sms nor call me regularly like we used to, initially I thought it was her job so I took it upon myself to act in both capacity by increasing my communication, after observing this act for a week, I called her attention to this issue and she said she never noticed but she will change.
It went on for another 1 week and the distance started becoming obvious and this made me miss her so so much, I went down to meet her in Abuja and we both went out on dinner where I explained what my emotions was turning into and all, she apologised and promised to consciously check that part of our life, later that evening I observed she was rather silent and unwilling to chat, I called her again before we slept but she cited tiredness as the reason. I went back to Lagos refreshed and hoping to start a new affair with my wife, I called her around 9pm the following day I arrived in Lagos and I observed she was driving but I said nothing, the day after I called her same time and same observation, I was becoming worried, so on Wednesday of that week I called her a lil min s past 7pm and asked her where she was, the response was that why are you making my life difficult by tracking me, do you want activity report on my daily movement. I got angry and I made her understand it is my duty / right to have a full knowledge of her movement / activity vice versa, she apologised the morning after and we moved on.
She was schedule to come to Lagos on that Friday but i had an uneasy feeling so I took 2 days off from work. Packed a couple of things and left for Abuja to see her, on getting to the Airport I called her to inform her am around if she could come pick me but she was not picking her calls, so I took a cab to her place, I was surprised when I saw her car outside her house cause I expected her to be at work, since I got a key to her apartment I opened the gate but the door to the sitting room was a lil opened, I stepped in and saw my wife lying on the couch with her head on another guy’s lap.
She stood up immediately she saw me and was disoriented as I was, I stood for a couple of minutes and left back, she ran after me saying all sorts but  just was not assimilating anything I begged her to leave me as my eye were blood shot, I came back to Lagos, packed my stuffs and took a trip to Ghana, I spent the weekend in Accra, came back to Lagos requested for 2 weeks leave and took off to an unknown hotel, my phones are switched off and no one knows my whereabout but I feel so betrayed. Kindly counsel
