Interesting questions that I was asked on Pub Discussion and I am more than interested to share my perspective on this. They are general questions which anyone can participate in if they are interested as well.

Everyone of us must have had a first job, how did you spend your first job income?

My first job was a teaching job...both during service and after the service year. That seemed to be the quickest you can get in Nigeria due to the little pay you get paid depending on which of the schools you applied to.

What did I do with the money? In all honesty, I can't even remember because I was just 15 days into the job after service year when my mum passed away. I was disorganized and it hit me so hard. I didn't even know I would be given a full salary because I heard a story afterwards that someone who lost her dad back then too and took some days off wasn't paid her full salary. A lot of people were surprised I got paid my full salary. Well, I am so sure I must have used the money for food items and clothing material while the rest was kept for transportation after taking my tithe away from there, of course.

If you were made to, what topic could you give a 20-minute presentation on without any preparation?

Love. Life. Any topic that borders on love and life. I don't need preparation, just ask me to speak and I am on a roll. If you ask me to speak on Economic Growth and Development too, I would do that effortlessly being the Economist that I am. I don't need preparation and I would pick lessons from the current happenings in Nigeria and fits them in so well.

We do check our WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook and many other social media for stuff to laugh about, what was the funniest thing you’ve seen recently online? ( Let's laugh with you😂😂😂)

Hahahaha. It was this crazy one I shared yesterday. I saw it on Instagram and I had to share it on my status too. Here is the link: CLICK HERE.

And here is another: CLICK HERE.

The first one made me laugh so much based on the passion the guy used in saying beautiful nonsense. In fact, he was saying nonsense confidently and I couldn't hold my laughter. He said he went to the school to pick up his child and someone asked him what he was there to do at the gate and he said he wants to pick up a child. He was asked, "Oh, you came to pick one of the pupils?" He said, no, he came to pick up his child and he doesn't know who the pupil is. He even mentioned the name of the child. The person said that means you are here to pick your child who is a pupil in this school and he went ballistic as to why they would "rename" his child without him knowing. He said he's the one paying for the school fees of the child and they had no right to "rename" his child. He further said they should stop confusing his child with another name 😂😂🤣😂😂🤣.

Who in your family are you most like? What are the attributes you do have same with the person?

I would say, my late dad. I look so much like him and even his traits of giving, appreciation for words and how to use words, we are so much alike in that regard. While growing up I changed my face a lot as I first looked like our first born and down the years I switched to my second brother and finally, I look like my late dad. We are both givers, a deep lover too and we both appreciate simple things.

What is the most challenging job you can think of? That job that you don't want to do ever!

I'm sorry and it's not in any way a slight dig to ridicule those who do it but I can never work as an evacuator - those who evacuate soakaway or septic tanks. Also, I am not a good salesman and I don't think I can do the job of a marketer. It's tiring...I can still manage a marketer if I have no choice but evacuate? No.

Until you visit the whole world, where is the most beautiful place you have been? Share pictures if any.

I'm hoping to explore the world soon by God's Grace, so I've not been to many places other than places I see on TV. I would say the Lekki area in Lagos when I went to Upbeat Recreational Center. I enjoyed the place. It is beautiful.

That's me, seated (left of the screen) with the blue jean and black top after climbing the wall. Had to sit because that height isn't for the faint hearted. It looks simple from afar but it isn't. To climb was easy for me but the jumping...oh well... Had to take my time.

Thank you for your time.

My pen doesn't bleed, it speaks. I am love's chemical content in human form and that's why  I advise people to take a dose of "Olawalium" daily. 🙈
