“Wahala wa o!”

Bill Gates organized an enormous
session to recruit a new CEO for
Microsoft Europe. Five thousand candidates
assembled in
a large room. One candidate is
Ayodele a Naija guy. Bill Gates thanked all the
candidates for
coming and asking those who do
not know Java program to leave.
Two thousand candidates leave the
room. Ayodele says to himself, “I do
not know JaVa but I have nothing to lose if I
stay. I’ll give it a try. Bill Gates asked the
candidates who
never had experience of managing
more than 100 people to leave. Two
thousand leave the room. Ayodele says
to himself “I never managed anybody
by myself but I have nothing to lose if I stay.
What can happen to me?” So
he stays. Then Bill Gates asked candidates
who
do not have management diplomas to
leave. Five hundred people leave the
room. Ayodele says to himself, “I left
school at 15 but what have I got to
lose?” So he stays in the room. Lastly, Bill gates
asked the candidates
who do not speak Serb-Croatian to
leave. Four hundred ninety-eight
candidates leave the room. Ayodele
says to himself, “I do not speak one
word of Serb – Croatian but what do I have to
lose?” So he stays and finds
himself with one other candidate.
Everyone else has gone. Bill Gates joined them
and said,
“Apparently you are the only two
candidates who speak Serb – Croatian,
so I’d now like to hear you have a
conversation together in that
language.” Calmly, Ayodele turns to the other
candidate and says, “Wahala wa o!”
The other candidate answers “O gaju o

When Helping is not Helping

Having the desire to help others is the calling that brings many into the “helping professions.” For others, it is the day to day service that we do for our families, children and others we work for/or/with. There is a fine line however when helping is not really helping, but rather a barrier that leads to stagnation or worse yet, fosters an unhealthy dependence.
