I am of the school of thought that more than 99% of problems announce themselves from the start.

There’s this block-blast game I play on my phone. I only pick it up when my mind feels too full, too distracted for Netflix or Prime Video, and too restless for any conversation. It has become my hiding place and a spot I retreat to when I’m overwhelmed but still need to think through a decision.

And in the short space I have been playing this game, I noticed something. In that game, you can almost always tell from the first few moves whether you’re headed for a high score or if it’s a doomed run. If the game keeps forcing you to use retries too early, you already know the end won’t be great. It’s like chess but in a reverse sort of way. One wrong starting move and you know you are f* .

Life (and work) is a lot like that. Some problems give us early warnings. You see the red flags. You know that a deal or move isn’t clean, that that hire isn’t a fit, that project is already broken at the foundation and that the amount you conceded to collect for it means you can never deliver a good job..

But many times, maybe out of stubbornness, overconfidence, village people refusing to stop pressing on your destiny, or just “let’s see how it goes”, we keep pushing anyway. And just like in the game, we burn through retries we could have saved for the battles that matter.

Sometimes, the smartest move we can make for ourselves is to recognize a “dead game” early, cut our losses, and channel our energy into the plays that actually have a future.

But guess what? Many a times, you see this lesson? We only learn it from personal experience. Like our wafi people will say, ‘’If hand never toush you, you no go rest.’’

In another news, Ai insists this is me. Shared different images of me and it got more ridiculous with each new image I shared. I wonder if these images are of someone who exists somewhere on earth or in another universe. Cos it sure ain’t me! 🤣🌝

𝐔𝐧𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐮𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐥𝐲, 𝐈 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐛𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐠𝐮𝐢𝐥𝐭𝐲 𝐨𝐟 𝐠𝐡𝐨𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠, 𝐚𝐭 𝐬𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐩𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐭. ☹️

Not trying to play the devil’s advocate here, but unless a company has an automated recruitment process, it’s honestly hard to give feedback to every single candidate, especially when hundreds apply. That said, I completely agree that candidates who make it to the semi-final or final stage deserve some form of closure.

It’s however not black and white. Some candidates take feedback really, really badly. And I am speaking from experience. I still remember a guy who traveled all the way from the East for an interview in Lagos many year back, and when he wasn’t selected, he blasted my small size and that “I no get sense”. Another lady, after I gave her direct feedback face to face, sent me a long email filled with insults and unsolicited career advice. Many HR professionals have stories for days!

Companies know rejection is tough, which is why the famous caveat: “𝙄𝙛 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙙𝙤 𝙣𝙤𝙩 𝙝𝙚𝙖𝙧 𝙛𝙧𝙤𝙢 𝙪𝙨 𝙬𝙞𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙣 𝙓 𝙙𝙖𝙮𝙨, 𝙘𝙤𝙣𝙨𝙞𝙙𝙚𝙧 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙖𝙥𝙥𝙡𝙞𝙘𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙪𝙣𝙨𝙪𝙘𝙘𝙚𝙨𝙨𝙛𝙪𝙡” is usually added during the end of an interview session. It’s not ideal, I know, but it’s a way to set expectations.

That said, I do think ghosting final-stage candidates is unfair. If someone has gone through multiple rounds, they should get a proper update, even if it’s just a polite rejection. And like I said, I may have been guilty too at some point due to the overwhelming interview process or the entire recruitment process being manual.

𝐅𝐨𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭, 𝐈 𝐚𝐩𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐢𝐳𝐞. 🙏🏽

Have you noticed the difference in lunch breaks between the public and private sectors?

In the private sector, lunchtime is often ignored. It is “grab a snack while completing tasks and responding to emails” time. We’re too busy, too stressed, and deadlines are looming. We all know taking breaks is essential, but how many of us actually do it?

In the public sector, lunch breaks are taken seriously. Have you ever been to a government office at noon? They’ll tell you they’re on break, and you’ll just have to wait, No exceptions, even with 100 people waiting😂. They don’t play about their breaks at all. In fact you know better than to target visiting any government office between 12 and 2pm in Nigeria. You’re just going to be doing yourself! 🤣

By neglecting those priority breaks though, you’re only piling up stress for yourself. 30 minutes a day to yourself won’t make the office come crashing down.

This week, try stepping away from your desk and eat lunch without multitasking. Your office won’t collapse. I have a colleague who used to come around at noon to get us off our desk for like 15-20 minutes to stretch and do something. He has stopped sha because we all used to show so much reluctance getting up.

I’m sure colleagues in the civil service can’t relate. 😊

Your productivity (and sanity) will thank you!

“𝐈’𝐦 𝐠𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐨 𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐪𝐮𝐢𝐭!” is what you say at the slightest sign of responsibility or workplace conflict.

It sounds fun at first, because you know you can easily get a new job. But, after 9 jobs in just 2 years, your resume is now looking like a 𝘠𝘰𝘳𝘶𝘣𝘢 𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘦𝘭’𝘴 talking stage profile, many short term situationships and zero commitments.

Every 3-6-9 months, you would resign with a dramatic exit, feel liberated (for a short while), realise life does not revolve around you, and repeat the cycle.

Short-term emotional decisions might bring instant gratification, but they can lead to long-term career chaos.Try to think beyond immediate gratification. Invest in skills, build a network and create a future.

As it is, there are some juicy organizations you may never be able to work when you have so many short stint full time jobs on your CV. The question is, where have you stayed long to impact value or drive those projects you implemented to see them to success? This is the question any sensible business leader would have when going through your CV. So sometimes, you’re not getting a call back because your CV begs so many questions.

I’ve come to accept that I suffer from analysis paralysis, sometimes.

If you need me to make a decision, please, simplify it. Strip it down to its bare bones. The more complex the options, the more likely I am to abandon ship.

Funny enough, I’ve also noticed this is a common struggle for a lot of men. Ever seen those posts where women complain that when they send their partners long messages with multiple questions, they only get a response to the last one? Yeah. I believe there’s a brain wiring issue at play, and unfortunately, for some funny and weird reasons, I have it too. Once the choices become too many, my brain clocks out.

Maybe that’s why I love humor so much. It keeps things light, simple, and digestible, even when tackling serious topics. That’s exactly the approach I took with my latest book, 101 Workplace Secrets.

I didn’t want to write another bulky, complex career book that feels like an HR manual. I wrote the kind of book I’d eagerly buy; one with big fonts, illustrative pictures, and straight-to-the-point wisdom. No fluff. No excess theory. Just real-life workplace survival hacks.

101 Workplace Secrets is your unfiltered corporate guide to managing subtle and not so subtle office politics, managing up, and understanding the hidden rules of career growth. Because your job description is never the full story.

Listen, you can work hard, be the best at your job, and still get zero career growth if you miss this one rule:

Seen that image of MKO Abiola, Abacha and right behind them, Jagaban? Exactly! That junior colleague you’re ignoring today might be the one deciding your fate tomorrow. Don’t block your future blessings because of office “big man” syndrome. 👀

I came across this quote from on LinkedIn and I spent a good number of seconds reading that line over and over again. Because it’s so true. Sometimes, we try to act like Jagaban and JackieChan, wanting to cross all the t’s and mark all the I’s, ever ready and ever prepared. Always guiding.

I’ve however come to realize that no matter how much planning you do, some surprises will still take you completely off guard. There will be moments you will never see coming, and despite all your preparation, certain situations will still catch you by surprise.

And that’s perfectly fine. The key is to stay adaptable, build resilience, learn fast, and, most importantly in today’s world, embrace flexibility.

Expect the unexpected but be adaptable. 😉

Some of my friends are officially tired of me. 😅

Every time I say,“𝗜 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗮𝗺𝗮𝘇𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗮 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗜 𝗯𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗲𝘃𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘂𝗹𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗴𝗮𝗺𝗲 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘄𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝗿𝗲𝘃𝗹𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘇𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗹𝗱…” I imagine that they roll their eyes so far back their skull that it takes them a while to return it to normal. 🤣

But I also love that they have never tried to convince me otherwise. Or more like, they’ve never been able to come up with more superior arguments to get me to back down from any project or idea I choose to execute or run with.

𝗘𝘅𝗲𝗰𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗳𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻, 𝗮𝗹𝘄𝗮𝘆𝘀. Start first, and then reiterate/improve as you go.

Mistakes? 𝗣𝗹𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘆.
Failures? 𝗘 𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗸𝗲!

But each one pushes me/us a step closer to it. Because for every move I/we make, I/we get sharper, wiser, learn which pitfalls to avoid and eventually become better than we were at Point A.

𝗟𝗮𝘀 𝗹𝗮𝘀, 𝗻𝗼𝗯𝗼𝗱𝘆 𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗮𝗶𝗻𝘀 𝗮𝘁 𝗣𝗼𝗶𝗻𝘁 𝗔 𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗶𝗳 𝘄𝗲/𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝗸𝗲𝗲𝗽 𝗺𝗼𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴.😊

Happy new week! ❤️
