How to resign and start your own business
It is as easy as just taking a stroll to your HR with your resignation letter and drop it on his or her table. Yes you read that right! However, before you take that giant stride to drop the letter, kindly and carefully read the story below.

In 2016, I got a sales executive job at a Fintech company. It was a tough job to meet the sales target and the sales department leadership was headed by tough bosses who gave no room for excuses. After months of tireless work under stringent working conditions, the management took a grave decision with a repulsive demeanor that led to the resignation of all sales executive in the branch on the same day. That was my first encounter with resignation. 

I was at home for some months trying to run my own design outfit, but brokenness soon chased me out to seek another job and It didn't take long before I got another offer and began work. Let me tell you, if you have content in you, recruiters will notice it and quickly hire you. Instead of growing your own business with your talent and creativity, you will likely be using your talent to grow wealth for other businesses under the auspices of receiving salary.

In November last year, I reminisced over my new working conditions. I saw myself writing down my personal dreams and resolution every year but by year end there is nothing to show for it. But meanwhile, the company can boast of achieving its corporate goals through my dedication and hardwork which doesn't result in any compensation. So I took a new decision to suffer in achieving my own dreams.

Yes, you read the word right, SUFFER! A salary job is a secured means of earning. Something will come in at the end of the month. But running your own business may not guarantee you this, at least not in the few years of establishment. So before you drop that letter, you must also take the resolve and resolution to suffer awhile till you achieve it. 

It may get so tough that you will regret your decision to resign, but if truly you have the talent in you, stay through it and with time you will make it through. I cannot promise you it will be all smooth but those businesses you are running after for job started with a dream. Dream about your own business and take the stride to achieve it.

However, if you do not have the demeanor to suffer the growing stage of a startup business, please kindly keep your salary job and chase your dream parallel of working.

U.I Awo Hall Executives (Team Standard 2018) Cleared of Alleged Misappropriation of Funds

By
The two-year war that raged between the executive members (2018/19) of the Obafemi Awolowo hall (Awo Hall) University of Ibadan and the allegations laid against them by their Hall Warden has been settled, with the executive members exonerated of all charges.  It was gathered that the excos had been alleged of misappropriation of funds and lack of accountability by the hall warden Dr. Mrs. Adedoyin Aguoru, which led to the dissolution of the executive body and a taint on the personalities of the executive members. In a joint letter signed by the president and made public by the executive members, it was made clear the proceedings from the investigation and the eventual acquital verdict given by the Students Affairs Division of the University. Below is the content of the letter:    Re: Misappropriation of Funds and Lack of Accountability   This is an avenue to state in clear terms the true state of affairs during our tenure as Hall Executives other than allowing the earlier false impres

Insecurity in Oyo State: Towards a safer Oyo State.

By
Blame game/Opposition game A wise man once said, "When you keep blaming others for every situation you're in, someday you’ll begin to look like you’re the mistake all along". This holds true of our politicians in Nigeria. When a new government spend a good portion of its administration to point fingers on the failures or bad gimmicks of the old/displaced government instead of thinking outside the box to proffer solutions to the dilemma at hand, soon they will start to appear incompetent and an excuse seeker. Blame game has been a sad trend in our polity in this country. The APC government at the federal level elected in 2015 spent their entire first term blaming the deposed PDP government for insurgency and insecurity. Yeah, this state of insecurity ended the PDP reign of 16 years and the same is about to end the APC reign because they've also failed to keep the nation secured. They are now a victim of the situation that brought them to be. I hope this same trend  won
