Where are you now?

2020 has been an eye-opening year for many of us. It has taught us that making a change in our career paths and taking on a new work role isn't as daunting as we initially thought. In fact, the idea of starting anew can be quite exciting. With the current job market, now is the perfect time to take on a new challenge and explore opportunities that we may have been too afraid to take on before. It's time to embrace change and discover what the future holds.


In 2023, many of us are looking to make a transition in our career paths. Whether it’s leaping from traditional 9-5 to freelancing or starting a new job in a brand new field, the idea of making a career transition can be daunting. But, with the right resources, advice, and strategies, it can be a rewarding and successful journey.

The first step to transitioning in your career is to take inventory of your skills and experience. What do you bring to the table? Are there gaps in your skillset that you could fill in? Knowing what you have to offer and what areas you need to develop is key to creating a successful career transition plan.

Once you have assessed your current skill level, the next step is to identify what type of career path you’d like to pursue. This can take some research, including exploring potential job opportunities and fields that interest you. Once you’ve narrowed down your options, you can begin to research the career path in-depth, learning about the industry and its dynamics, the qualifications needed, and the average salary.

Next, you’ll want to create a timeline for your career transition. Set realistic goals and objectives for yourself and make sure to include the resources you need to make the transition happen. This could include anything from attending networking events to taking classes or finding an internship program.

Finally, it’s important to ensure that you stay organized throughout the transition process. Create a document tracking your progress, set reminders for yourself to stay on track, and don’t be afraid to ask for advice from those who have been in your shoes.

Making a career transition can seem intimidating, but with the right strategies and resources, you can make it happen in 2023. With some research, a clear plan, and dedication, you’ll be well on your way to achieving your career

Let’s talk about grown-up stuff: Let’s talk S.E.X

It was 9: 45 pm and I was getting really bored watching the news, so I figured it was time to go to bed as I had an early start the next day,  I got into bed and decided to browse the internet for a bit. Social media is such an interesting place; I mean, you think you will be there for 10 mins and boom! It’s 2 am! That was exactly what happened to me. I was just about to force myself to sleep, then the phone rang,  it was my friend Bunmi “ Hello, Zee...are you awake?”  she asked  “ Yes, I am” I responded as I rolled my eyeballs; who did she think was speaking to, a robot? “I’m glad you are awake” she continued “ I am depressed”. That got me. I was now worried. It was past 2 am and I figured it must be something urgent. "Are you alright, is everything okay?” I asked hurriedly. “ Yes, well No” she continued “ It's just that I am getting really frustrated in this relationship” she added. She went back and forth about how she loved her man and how wonderful he was...

What is your body count?

That was the question I was asked today...The evening was going quite well for me until it went from "This has gotta be the best night ever" to "Oh no he didn't!". My facial expression changed in that instant from a smile to outrage: it became glaring that this question was off-limits. I moved around uneasily in my seat; I began thinking about how best to address the situation without coming off as the 'Crazy b***h!'  Peter was a good friend, and oftentimes we would discuss random topics of interest and argue endlessly- they were resolved amicably each time but this one wasn't one of those.  I honestly don't know how we went from discussing random things to, "So, do you mind sharing how many people you have had sexual encounters with?" I was in shock for a few seconds, If I had been drinking at the time I would have choked on it and spat it out in shock! Why was this piece of information important, why would anyone want to know the numb...

Hello, My Name is Doctor, Chief, Evangelist, Prince, Prophet John Doe

I got a WhatsApp message today......and it was not the usual. The recipient who was somewhat a client thought it was appropriate that everyone in the group chat knew he was not ordinary and so he made sure it sank in! “My name Doctor, Umezulora 1, Evangelist, Apostle......” This was how he would end every message. It may look like a joke to some of you but unfortunately it was something we all had to put up with. I had met this client a few days back and he seemed like an intelligent/warm individual but, what I could not understand was why he had to introduce himself using all his titles. It was funny at first, but I became worried afterwards. I didn’t know whether to laugh, cry or pull my hair out in frustration. I looked around the room to see if anyone rolled their eyes every time he did that but it seemed the rest of the team were fine with it......so I thought. The  meeting ended in high notes, I gave a quick excuse as to why I had to leave early so I didn’t have to he...
