STUDY. TO. SHOW.

And tombo, tombo, laced with prayers, panned out really well! :-)

Economics - 98%
Accounting - 76%
Statistics and Research - 90%

Amazing, right?


To be fair to my brain, it wasn't an exclusive tombo, tombo affair. I knew the answers to most of the questions. But there were some, that even if it were an open book exam, with the answers staring at me right in the face, I go still fail am.

But how the cumulative grade became 65% still remains a mystery to me. :-(
Of course, a student is encouraged to challenge the grades with the Tutor, nothing like what we have here. Dare to, and you will carry over that course/module till rapture takes place.

Well, I have decided not to call for my scripts. Or should I? What if I'm given another assessment? Ain't nobody got time for that biko. Let me just carry my score and go jeje...allow sleeping dogs to continue sleeping, abi to lie?


That Bible verse just kept ringing in my head all week.

Study. To. Show.

It's about time I show my employers that I have been developing myself na. How can I show my boss that value is being added? Just like some people that will travel to Dubai for a week and come back with an American accent, filled with holes, mangling words until they were impossible to understand. I just have to Show. :-)

The perfect opportunity presented itself sooner than I thought.

We had a strategic Skype meeting, where we had to forecast figures for 2016. Before my opinion was required, yours truly blurted out a number of strategic jargons...yes, I know there is something immodest about my modesty, right? It simply just announces itself. :-)

'This is a reactor business strategy...slow to move, even resistant to the idea that there is a need to move, because reactors are captives of their own successes...'
 
I honestly can't remember most of the things I said sef, but towards the end of the meeting, my boss remarked;

'That was spot on Ada. Absolutely brilliant'.

I didn't waste time...I had to sell my market fast;

'All thanks to the MBA Online degree I just started'...I said.

'Oh...an MBA? Someone has got something up her sleeves...you've got plans Ada'? He asked.

The appropriate response to that question would have been, before nko? Instead, I just smiled back.
That kind of smile that says 'I hope my pay would be reviewed upwards before the end of 2015'?

Till next week Sunday (God willing) ...Live (not merely exist) everyday of your life.

  1. Lol@ the dancing baby. Biko allow sleeping dog to "kontinu"sleeping jare, no time for another assessment o, lol. With jargon such as " This is a reactor business strategy...slow to move, even resistant to the idea that there is a need to move, because reactors are captives of their own successes...", you should get a salary review most definitely, lol. All the best!!!
