He opined that the two strategies include looking for jobs in one’s industry which did not appeal to the oyinbo people.
Another strategy was being extremely good at your job more than the oyinbo people.
He said:
“Look at your industry and start applying for jobs that are not appealing to the oyinbos. I’m telling you, or you have to be exceptional and be above everybody for them to consider you… If you can do these two things and work on your CV, you’ll start getting calls.”
