How PSENSE gave my career a massive push

This is a sponsored post...
I got my degree in 2012 from a reputable University in the UK. When I came back to Nigeria, I was so confident of landing a job that I didn’t bother to take Employability and Etiquette trainings. I believed all I needed was just to finish my Youth Service and bang; Oil company offer letter! Haha. 
Well, I was confident, but looking back at it, I think I was gullible. Years passed by and I wasn’t able to land a job. I did get invited for interviews; loads of them to be honest but it never went past that. I mesmerized interviewers with my accent, or at least I thought I did but never got a call back. Then Poise Graduate Finishing Academy (PGFA)came to the rescue. In 2016, a friend suggested that I take part in a program that PGFA organized for free, I gave it a shot, and boy, am I glad that I did. In all honesty, I was skeptical at first because I looked at my finances, looked at transport fare from Ikorodu down to Lekki every day of the week, and I sighed. But I took the step and today I am reaping the benefits.

I learnt how to be employable, how not to fall into the trap of “ko mean” syndrome that most people have been victims of. A lot of exquisite and important trainings. And even a bit of entrepreneurial skills, if I ever wanted to go into a business of my own. I could go on and on but why not go see for yourself. I assure you that it will be one of the best decisions you have made ever.
Now I have a job, and not only that, I am ever confident going into interviews, public speaking events and networking. PGFA helped polish me, unlocked my potentials, and turned me into a Poised Young Executive; one who stands out among my peers.

Being a graduate with a degree in any discipline doesn’t guarantee you a job…well unless you know people in “top top” places and that isn’t even a guarantee ‘cos I am an example Haha. We all know not everyone has this “amazing” advantage though. But there is a greater advantage which sets you apart from others and gives you the confidence to not only be able to bag any quality job, but also not be needing any external help. That is the opportunity PGFA offers undergraduates and fresh graduates with her PSENSE program. You get to learn a lot… I mean if I could get all the trainings I got for free, imagine what you will get when you actually pay!

Ify Ezinwa writes

Popular On air Personel and Content Writter Ezinwa Sandra Ify Has Decided to stand up to her feet to support the Protest which is being pulled by legendary 2baba, in a peice of article shared on her social media platform she express her take on this protest.
 

In the words of Fela Anikulapo kuti,Music is the weapon.But when Music fails to get to the target audience for some reasons which primarily could be because of the genre of music or the conveyed messages getting beclouded by the melodious tone of a musical piece,it is absolutely not out of place for a "mere musician" as some people put it to carry out much more serious demonstrations like the Tuface protest to be carried out on the 6th of February 2017 at the National stadium surulere Lagos.
 
Apparently,there has been criticisms,really Unconstructive ones against the movement; so many but I found one really by a Nigerian professor;he said "you're a bloody illiterate,You had sex with all manners of girls without using condoms.You impregnated them and made babies all over the place;now you want to lead protest against the government because of lack of governance.Have you governed your own personal life?Charity they say begins at home,Nonsense" We seem to Forget,Fela Kuti,the Nigerian multi-instrumentalist,musician,pioneer of the Afro beat music genre,human right activist and political maverick,the Man with 27 wives;who came from prison and divorced the 12 that were still with him with countless numbers of children;A man seen today as a hero and celebrated till date with a shrine built in his memory which serves as the host location of the annual felabration festival.Now,I do not intend to compare the life of Fela to that of Tuface but I know that people with common sense can tell that if the moderacy of a person's sexual life is truly a yardstick for measuring how much sense a person makes as our Professor claims,one who can listen & support to Fela Kuti's movement would support even more to Tuface Idibia's! We live in a country whose media is immensely influenced by politics.
 
Today,news reflects the ideological biases of the journalists and those who are not in support of the present government are vilified just like Governor Fayose;which makes only the brave hearted to stand and speak out while the sycophants who obviously have one or two to gain and the chicken-hearted smile and suffer hoping for the change that will never come!Everyone has their own role to play;it's either you play the brave hearted or the chicken hearted and ofcourse the sycophants too,it is yours to decide but what's unfair and foolish to do is to condemn and even try to go as far as boycotting the plans of brave hearted as Bovi the comedian tweeted. To people who perceive this movement as a publicity stunt,To the people who think Tuface is a tool used by the PDP and to the people who are amazed at his "supposed" sudden interest in politics,I refer you to a single he released in 2014 "vote and not fight"(election no be war) with this,you can tell that he's always indeed got the interest of the masses at heart as well as righting the wrongs through music!Oh yes,I bet you never heard the song cos we all know the kind of Musics that makes a Hit in the Industry of today! It is 2017,the situation has gone past Music as a weapon.It is time we stood our ground firmly for indeed,nothing is getting better and just like Tuface Idibia said "We have been poor and desperate "This truly isn't the change we voted for However,there is indeed no cause for alarm as it is a peaceful demonstration. Stand up Nigeria! 🇳🇬 Stand up for the real change! Stand up!

You should build “You” before you ever think about building a marriage- Actor Majid Michel says

The Ghanaian actor shared these wise words about marriage and relationships on his IG page. Read below
You should build “YOU” before you ever think about building a marriage. "i will die without you.” “i cannot live without you.” “if you go away, my world will crumble.” who said these are romantic statements? Those statements are not romantic! 
They reflect an addictive dependency. instead of being addicted to a substance, you are addicted to a person. "i need a man.” “i need a woman.” No!! you need God!! and you need His holiness. God is saying, "please get your act together as an unmarried person. Get your standards and values settled". if you cannot control your emotions, your passions, your feelings, your attitudes, your bad habits or your behavior as you are single now, then you are not prepared for marriage. if you need to get married to be fulfilled or loved, you are not ready for marriage. The very thing that makes you need to get married will become the problem in your marriage. Men, before you go chasing a woman, make sure she is someone you can chase until death do you part. Discover yourself first. Know yourself and find yourself through Christ before you start looking for a partner. All your secrets and depression and frustration and baggage and all your issues. if you look at yourself, you yourself will not want to take yourself home. Yet you want someone to take you home. i'm scared of anyone who is impatient for marriage. Cos u are just a parasite looking for a host. Be an asset to your partner not a deficit.

“As a man, I tried to play my part in the situation. If you’re intelligent, you can read between the lines.”

Odion Ighalo completes £17.1 move to Chinese club Changchun Yatai

Super Eagles of Nigeria striker Odion Ighalo has completed a £17.1 move to Chinese club, Changchun Yatai after weeks of negotiations. Ighalo has scored about 40 goals in 100 appearances since moving to the London club in 2014, but knew his time was up at Watford after they signed Zarate and M'Baye Niang from Fiorentina and AC Milan respectively.

Ighalo wanted to remain at the EPL, but offers weren't coming from premier league clubs and reluctantly agreed to sign for Changchun Yatai, after they tabled a massive  £17.1 for the player, an offer the club couldn't reject.
A statement on Watford's website read:
"The Hornets can confirm that Odion Ighalo has agreed a permanent move to Changchun Yatai.... All at Watford FC thank Odion for his contributions to the club, and wish him the best of luck for his future career."
Odion has flown to China for his unveiling and will soon confirm his transfer on his Social media accounts. Congrats to him!

Court should jail those disobeying its order on Zakzaky, wife’s release - Fayose

Ekiti State Governor and Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Governors’ Forum, Ayo Fayose, hascalled on the judiciary to see to it that officials of the federal government that are disobeying court orders, especially the Federal High Court, Abuja judgement, ordering the release of the leader of the Shi’ite Muslim sect, Ibrahim Zakzaky and his wife Malama Zeenah Ibraheem are jailed.
The governor, who praised the judiciary for standing firm in defence of the rule of law, said; “the federal government must proof to the whole world that Ibrahim Zakzaky is still alive by releasing him as ordered by the court.
”Speaking through his Special Assistant on Public Communications and New Media, Lere Olayinka, Governor Fayose said the filing of notice of contempt proceedings against the Inspector General of Police (IGP), Attorney General of the Federation (AGF) and the Director General of Department of State Services (DSS) over the disobedience of a court order for Zakzaky’s release was a step in the right direction.
Justice Gabriel Kolawole of the Federal High Court, Abuja had on December 2, 2016 awarded a cumulative sum of N50 million to the Zakzakys and ordered the AGF and IGP to provide him a new accommodation and security in any part of Kaduna or Northern region that they prefer within 45 days, but 60 days after, the judgment is yet to be obeyed.

Governor Fayose, who described as wicked and inhuman, the continued detention of Zakzaky and his wife since December 2015, after the murder of over 300 of his followers; said; “It is even more ridiculous that the DSS claimed that its refusal to release the cleric and his wife was to protect them.

The governor said;
“Obviously, the DSS must be hiding something on this Zakzaky matter because it does not make sense for an agency of government to keep someone in detention for over one year and claim that he is being protected. Against what are they protecting a man who wants his freedom?”
Governor Fayose reminded Nigerians that he had said that the federal government won’t obey the judgment; saying that the APC led federal government was the number one law breaker in the country. He said; "Like Justice Kolawole’s judgment, which ordered the release of Zakzaky and his wife is for posterity, committing those disobeying the judgment to prison will also be on record even if they don’t obey it, and when one day, sanity returns to our body polity, Nigerians will have it on record those who ruled their country like a fiefdom.”

Describing the continuous disobedience to court orders by the federal government as direct invitation to anarchy, the governor said; “Even the military still obeyed court judgements but here we are with a democratically elected government that holds our constitution with contempt.
"The judiciary must therefore have to remain steadfast in its uphold of the rule of law, by punishing those treating the court with contempt so as to save democracy from being destroyed by those presently holding the country by the jugular and do not want anyone that is not in the same political camp with them to exist.”

Woman claims kidnappers of the 3 missing Abuja friends have asked for a $300,000 ransom

According to a Facebook user who says she is a family friend to missing Damilola Oribuyaku, who was kidnapped at Coldstone Creamery in Abuja, the kidnappers have demanded a $300,000 ransom for the release of Damilola and his 2 friends pictured above. Read what she wrote after the cut...

Join Our Prayers for the Safety of Damilola
Engr. Oribuyaku is a family friend. His son, Damilola who just returned from schooling abroad went to have ice-cream at Coldstone, Wuse II Abuja on Friday with two of his female friends. As they were about to get into their cars, a jeep blocked them. The rest was like like a horror film. They were taken and driven off. The abductors are demanding for $300,000.
Engr. Oribuyaku is a hardworking man who has built his businesses with c...lean money. He doesn't have that kind of money.
Please, join us in praying for the safety of these young people in the hands of these criminals. May God let us find them alive and in one piece.
N.B: One of our brothers was hit on the head with the butt of a gun in front of this same ice-cream parlour at Gwarimpa last year. Criminals now target places frequently visited by the middle class. Let us be security conscious as Nigeria is going throug a very hard period. May God save us all from evil, ameen.

Dasuki: FG’s request for secret trial satanic, undemocratic - Fayose

Ekiti State Governor and Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Governor’ Forum, Mr Ayodele Fayose has described the Federal Government’s attempt to secretly try the former National Security Adviser (NSA), Col. Sambo Dasuki, by using mask-wearing prosecution witnesses as satanic and mockery of democracy, saying;
“It is becoming obvious that the All Progressives Congress (APVC) federal government has something to hide on the travail of Col. Dasuki because if you were not afraid to call someone a thief in the market place, you should not be afraid to try such a person in the full glare of the public.”
The governor, who said Nigerians should ask the federal government why it was afraid of trying Dasuki openly, noted that;
“Since names of the would-be prosecution witnesses have already been made public, what agenda is the federal pursuing by insisting that its witnesses be given protection by the court by not allowing their names and addresses to be made public in the course of the trial.”
In a statement issued on Wednesday by his Special Assistant on Public Communications and New Media, Lere Olayinka, Governor Fayose challenged the APC-led federal government to allow live television coverage of the trial so that the federal government can tell the entire world how Dasuki actually stole the $2.1 billion arms money and he (Dasuki) will also defend himself in the full glare of the public.

The governor said;
“You accused someone of corruption in the market place and the person you accused is saying he wants to defend himself in the market place too, but you, the accuser is insisting that the accused must be tried in your bedroom, I think someone is trying to hide something?”
He said it was curious that the Federal Government could approach the court for the second time, seeking for an order to conduct secret trial in a celebrated criminal matter, on which it claimed to have watertight evidences.

Governor Fayose added that even the prosecuting counsel, who filed the application, should be ashamed for allowing themselves to be used as tools to subvert democracy.
“They want Nnamdi Kanu tried secretly. They also want the former Col Dasuki (rtd) tried secretly. What are they afraid of? How is defence counsel going to cross-examine masked witnesses when their real identity cannot be ascertained? Why are the witnesses afraid to testify in an open court if truly they are witnesses of truth? “Obviously, this is satanic. It is against all democratic norms and Nigerians must rise against it,” the governor said.
He called on the court to reject the federal government ploy to use masquerade as witnesses, saying;
“Nigerians are now at the mercy of judiciary, which is the only institution that can save Nigeria from the full-blown dictatorship that the APC government has become.”
