The Popular WAEC Bus Stop in Yaba, Lagos

 The Popular WAEC Bus Stop in Yaba, Lagos

The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) Bus Stop in Yaba on the mainland of Lagos is one of the most popular locations in Lagos state, because the headquarters of WAEC is located near the bus stop with the tallest building towering above other buildings in the area. It is also the main bus stop of the famous Yaba College of Technology (YABATECH), the first tertiary institution in Nigeria founded in 1947. It is directly opposite the WAEC building and close to the nearby Federal Science and Technical College (FSTC). Therefore, thousands of students of the two schools use the bus stop with hundreds of other commuters taking different public and private transport vehicles such as the popular "Danfo" minibuses, "Keke" tricyles, "Okada" motorcycles and taxi cabs.

Read The Mafia Manager for Victory in Corporate Warfare

Have you read The Mafia manager : A Guide to The Corporate Machiavelli ?
 If you want to know how to compete and succeed in the corporate world, then read the book asap.
 I have read it and I recommend it as I have also once recommended the Holy Bible, The Art Of War by Sun Tzu and The 48 Laws of Power by Robert Greene

In the dog eat dog corporate world, being ruthless is necessary for success according to the Machiavellian rules of the Mafia. All I know about the author is that V is a Capo of distinguished fame, keeps several residences around the world. His present location is a guarded secret.

Review

“Whoever V. is, he offers the sort of advice it is dangerous to refuse.” ―Playboy
“A grimly brutally humorous book at the business world. Consider it a merger, or hostile takeover, so to speak, of How to Get Ahead in Business Without Really Trying by The Godfather.” ―The Washington Post

The world's oldest and best-organized conglomerate now reveals management techniques everyone can use. Unlike other guides to business, The Mafia Manager shuns theoretical verbiage to present the philosophy of leadership that founded and captained "The Silent Empire" through centuries of expansion and success. Some sample pearls of wisdom:

-"Be sure you understand what your boss has ordered before you act on his command. What if you whack the wrong guy, or bomb the wrong joint...Learn the art of asking questions."
-"Keep your friends close, but keep your enemies closer."
-"Don't become involved in any office political battle without first asking yourself, 'What's in it for me?' and then 'What's in it for them?'"
-"If you must lie, be brief."

Ivy League schools are some of the most prestigious schools in the world with high selectivity in admission.

Getting into any of the Ivy League schools requires adequate preparation on the part of parents as well as the child. Although these universities are for young adults, any parent that intends to enroll his/her ward in one of these schools would need to start the training the child from a tender age.

Producing a Documentary Film is More Challenging than Making a Movie

Meg Masha at the new Tinubu Square in "Sights and Sounds of Lagos" tourist documentary film.

Only filmmakers who have produced both documentaries and movies can understand what I am saying.

I have been professionally engaged in TV and Film productions since I was 17 as a script writer and puppeteer for TV puppet drama at the Nigerian Television Authority (NTA) Channel 10 on Victoria Island in Lagos before I joined others on different locations of Nollywood movies more as an observer than an actor in the 1990s. Then in 1998, I ended up as the Production Manager of "Money Wise" on DBN TV, the first private TV station in Nigeria founded by Sonny Adun in the 1980s.
