What a day!

I'll be straight. I took it to learn . To learn how Sales works in a different sphere. different from the electricity business. I have always had a passion for power. That's what drove me to work with the power sector. I didn't take it because my dad worked there. He didn't even have a part to play in my getting the job with BEDC, maybe we can say his' paying for my Power training course with NAPTIN which took about a Million Naira or over, was a part of it. But the power business was too direct. Monopolistic! I learnt a few things in the business but the lessons I got was limiting in my perspective. if I was to run an electricity business afterwards, I'll be good with it. Before the opportunity to work as a Product Analyst with MainOne came, I had told Kiitan I wanted to learn about Sales. I had even applied for a Business Analyst role 3 or 4 months before to get close to it. I wouldn't want to remove the part of the role paying more. It does (in...

I joined 16th April, 2016. I left BEDC 11th April, 2016. It was a good farewell. I had given a month's notice and also taught Opeyemi all I knew. He was to take over the two roles (Technical Assistant and Training Coordinator). He did and he is doing better at it (visited him about 3 weeks ago). Joining MainOne as a Product Analyst for the data centre has been a good experience. I won't say awesome as I have learnt not to feel too 'jivy' about a new job. I have noted difference in the way I was treated in my former place of work and here. I sometimes say that HR is non-existent over there when I have to compare.  I remember when I was invited for the Essay/interview. I observed the people and the workplace. There and then, I had decided that I wanted to be here (I told Kiitan this immediately after). There was something about the way they carried themselves. There was something about the environment (maybe because they were all young or so). Me...

Thanks to the CSH, Ondo & Ekiti States. Rumours were in the air about the coordinator of the VIPL-EU programme, Mr. Tunji Raphael. He was leaving BEDC they said. Every rumour had turned out true. He confirmed it the day he sent a mail to me requesting that I come to the Head Office for a handover session. Really! He was going to hand over to me?  That was some weeks back. I started the programme coordination. There were 28 trainees I was to start with. One didn't make it to the camp the first day (Chukwuma Offor...He made it with the next batch). I informed HR about him that night I remember and they said he didn't inform them. Mama K said he would have to join the next batch. That was how he exited. Another trainee was unruly, disobeyed the boot camp coordinator who reported him at the Head Office. He was also pulled out of the training also. Coordinating the programme has given me a different view of it. I was here over 3 years ago undergoing th...
