If you are not active on social media, you are not visible.

Gone are the days when socializing was only about physical contacts, meetings, forums and networking events.Nowadays, business is done "at the speed of twitter". Everyone is on-the-go and you have to follow them bumper-to-bumper "as e dey hot". 

It is suicidal to do business in this millennial age without being social. While offline is still valid, online engagement is essential for individual/business growth growth and success. Staying in touch with trends and always updating your clients/audience of latest happenings within/around yourself/ your business will go along.

Successful people/businesses understand the need for relationship management. Their Public relatikns skills / spendings are top-notch.

Nowadays, most people access information on the go and you just cannot afford to not be visible/available/accessible on major social networks especially platforms like twitter, instagram, facebook, linkedin etc.

If you are not online, you are nowhere.

This gospel is mostly for young people aspiring to achieve great things. You have the world at your feet and cannot afford to dull yourself.

Whether you are doing business, job hunting or living the "boss life", ensure to have online presence. Keep your emails active, have your CV handy, be prepared and Google better know you exist because opportunity may come browsing.

Whatever you do, stay online.

Why I Stopped Paid Employment

Claudia  I stopped paid employment because you can hardly satisfy a Nigerian employer if you're not suffering on the job. Most organisations here have toxic work culture. People carry their seniority mentality from secondary school into the workplace. I used to overwork (that's literally how we work here). Do all that and more.  While working for Nigerian firms, I thought hardwork was good work till I started working with a Ghanaian firm where you get upto 2weeks to deliver one article yet they pay on time. I shock! A Nigerian company will expect you to deliver 5 to 10 contents (articles) in a week.  How?....& for what? Worst still, if you have a terrible superior your work may never pass. It's more like a "dog eat dog" situation where correction is not done with "your growth" in mind. You'll be feeling drained and looking overused and abused all the time. That's why their HR be like "can you work under pressure?" As if it's a g

  Marriage is often romanticized as a lifelong journey of love, connection, and shared dreams. However, as time goes on, couples might find themselves grappling with an unexpected shift in their relationship dynamics. It's the point where familiarity turns into monotony, intimacy morphs into mere coexistence, and the question arises: at what point does your spouse become your flatmate? This crucial juncture, if left unaddressed, can become a dangerous pitfall for the relationship. Let me share some takes on the signs that signal this transition and insights into how couples can rekindle their connection before it's too late. Personally, once I lose connection it’s as if I am mentally done but is there a way to make adjustments and realign? Of course. Though it is often said that the cordiality of a relationship is usually held down by one person but we all know it takes two to make it work. Where one or both parties are not willing, the union cannot stand. A situation where one

  Life, with all its twists and turns, often feels like a rollercoaster ride. Just when we think we have it all figured out, it throws us a curveball or takes us on an unexpected loop.  From thrilling highs to challenging lows, navigating life's ups and downs is a journey filled with valuable lessons and opportunities for growth. Life has a way of surprising us when we least expect it. Whether it's a sudden job loss, a health scare, or a broken relationship, curveballs can leave us feeling confused and uncertain about the future.  However, it is during these moments of adversity that we might discover our inner strength and resilience. Instead of resisting change, embracing the curveballs allows us to adapt and evolve. It teaches us to let go of control and embrace the uncertainty of life. While it may be uncomfortable at first, facing challenges head-on ultimately leads to personal growth and self-discovery. Just as life has its curveballs, it also has its floating times—those
