This is my entry for the Hive account@hivenaija weekly prompt tagged

If I was asked this question some 2 or 3 years ago, I would look into the sky with complete cluelessness. Then I would look at you like "Mc Remote" would do and say,

Kilo so?

But now, I think I can give an answer to that question. But If you want to understand my answer, then you need to follow my story.

I am supposed to tell you the career I would like to have. To give you an idea, I will first tell you the kind of person that I am.
I love a challenge. But, as a smart man, I weigh the challenge, the pros and the cons and know if it is something that I can win. I love a good argument. But nothing beats my love for understanding and reading people. I remember when I saw the Movie, "Sherlock Holmes"... Oh My God, I was awestruck to say the least. For the next few days I was walking and talking and mimicking "Benedict Cumberbatch" all the way.
Like he would say,

the game is on...

For me the game is on, when I look at people, and I can read them, know what they are thinking, know why they do the things they are doing.. I mean that's a fun game to play.

I know how dark this can be, because people with this power can manipulate other people to their own will. That's not me. But I know you wont believe me so I wont argue. I will just tell you that there are people already doing havoc to men and women around with their knowledge of reading people.

My Love for reading people keeps me glued to crime series. You know, that's where you find the typical FBI profiler who can look at a person he has never met before and tell him who he is, with very little error.

It hasn't been a long time since I completed all 7 seasons of the TV crime series "Blacklist". Elizabeth keen as a profiler was pretty good reading people. But you see that man " Raymond Reddington"? His own ability is on a whole new level. He said something in one of the episodes that leaves rent free in my head.

one of the things that have kept me alive is my love for reading, whether it be words on a page, a book, signs, times and seasons or the faces of people, I know that you are lying"

My mind is always enthralled when I see people who have the ability to look at someone in the face and know he is lying, or look at his shoe and tell with some certainty where he must have gone.

I remember when I first heard about the TV series, "Lie to me", Mehn, I wanted to watch it so badly. I went to look for the three seasons and downloaded all of them. I still go back and watch it from time to time to see what I missed.

Not just that, helping people with mental disorders require a certain level of this skill. Having the ability to extract information without having the subject really say anything, It goes beyond this though. It goes into having the ability to help people in need of mental health assistance. Sometimes, I sit and begin to regret why I couldn't reach some of my friends who became morbidly depressed.

So, left to me, if money was not a problem, I would like to spend my time, day and night to learn psychology, Human philosophy...why people think the way they do, why they do what they do... I would like to be an expert, a world leading expert on both psychology and psychiatry.

Everyone is becoming a Tech Bro in Nigeria. If I joined, I would probably become tech broke. The reason is actually simple. I am not sure I have the patience for it. The sleepless nights writing numerous lines of code, the hours spent debugging, the plenty ups and downs... Omo, I would really give up before I learn anything tangible.

So, here it is. I would have gone to mars and come back before I would be able to call myself a "Tech Bro"
