1. The illusion of choice: we think we have a lot of options, especially with social media and dating apps. We are quick to move on at every of our partners flaws. 2. The 80/20 rule. If you don’t know what that is, that’s your 1st mistake. Check this thread. I’ll explain 🙏🏾

I've recruited an entire team twice in the past 3 years, and I've also consulted for founders on the continent looking for high quality affordable talent. It's very well known across Africa and beyond that if you're looking for high quality African talent that will work like their life depends on it and won't cost an arm and a leg, you go to Nigeria. Nigeria lacks lots of things, but qualified, talented people who are ready to work their ass off are not among them. I've seen it first hand. Except you're looking for an astronaut, there is literally no vacancy you cannot fill in Nigeria. Anyone who says they "couldn't fill job openings" in Nigeria is a bloody liar. It's simply not true and there's nothing to argue about.

I’ve become much more girly with age, and I like that.

@MakanakiBrand See😂😂😂

@____whitney_ Immediately you see “kindly find attached”😂

Nigerian companies will not even give you time to onboard properly and get used to working in their system. Once you get that letter, they expect you to delve immediately into work. Glad we’re having these conversations ngl

Citibank Microsoft Oracle Shell Chevron Mainone British American Tobacco Dem dey see talent recruit from Nigeria. But moniepoint no fit see.

If he says he can’t find talent in Nigeria, the issue is his hiring process. I know someone rejected by Moniepoint for not being “good enough”. That same person now works as a Senior DevOps Engineer at Amazon.

If you think talent is scarce to hire in Nigeria then there’s two options really for you, train us to work how you want or open your wallet well and see top talents you’d attract. Saying Nigerian youths are lazy is very very untrue and misleading.

Another reason they think we are not good enough in Nigeria is that they want us to know everything. It's only in Nigeria they will expect some with 1yrs experience to know Docker, Kubernetes, Messaging Queues, and advance DSA before they can employ you.

A lot of young professionals are not building careers. They’re just surviving toxic workplaces with good LinkedIn grammar.

It’s why I get pissed when everybody keeps reinforcing the no talent problem and do nothing about it The global talents you’re comparing us to offer internships to completely newbies with little to no experience, introduce them to clear career progression and great compensation

You said Nigerians are not employable. Yet the same Nigerians move abroad and become top hires, delivering strong results. That points to a gap in your hiring process, not a lack of talent.

You guys don't want to invest in the talent pipeline but come out every 3 business days to say Nigerians are not employable. Maybe it is Togolese people that are being employed by the top companies in the country. Those who invest in the talent pipeline will reap the reward.

If you're a global company & you're unable to find 500 perfect hires from a country of 200M people - you might want to fire your entire HR department.

Yes yes Nigerians arent employable on a global scale, we have heard What are you as a Nigerian company doing to bridge that gap? Internships? Job shadowing? Mentorship?

Woke up in a pool of my own blood 😔

@ADoseOfStella_ Wow 😍

Grwm for monochroma 💖

Please if Tarkwa Bay has ever given you a single memorable experience, advocate for it. We’re losing one of the few accessible third spaces left in Lagos. We have to care about this
