ok

Envision na joke. Why wouldn't they approach real businesses instead of entertainers who irrespective of the economy will blossom?

lalasticlala:

It’s usually very difficult for both employers and employees to keep their jobs and fly higher in a difficult economy. Such is the situation of things right now with some entrepreneurs ENCOMIUM Weekly spoke to. However, they all highlighted some ways of dealing with the situation.



ORAKA NVY

Sulcata Entertainment

Employees need to be able to multi task. Learn to do more than your primary duty. Be able to do A, B, C and D, not just A. Aside that, employees should be diligent, be on top of their game. During downsizing of staff, employers will most likely set aside those that are less productive as against those that can multi task because with them there’s more value for money.

On the part of the employer, he should learn to guide his staff. Most employees are scared of going away from their brief or primary job description, not because they can’t but the fear of being scolded for doing what they were not assigned to. Employers should learn to be appreciative of their staff. Also, conduct training to improve the skills.




BUKOLA LAWAL

Tooshme Studio

Staff members need to be willing to work for the progress of the company. For Tooshme Studio, our staffers must be willing to work with me to ensure we satisfy every single client that walks into our studio. We are into beauty business, we must avoid mistakes, so our clients are happy to patronise us.

The criteria for Tooshme Studio to keep a staff is that he/she must be willing to understand our clientele and willing to learn to satisfy their needs.



TOYIN KOLADE

Fisolak Global Resources Ltd.

As an entrepreneur, I always do everything possible within my capacity to keep my business flying irrespective of the poor economic situation of the country. Things are generally tight at the moment but I believe it’s just for a while. It’s just a kind of sacrifice we all need to pay for the betterment of our dear fatherland. I do things according to the dictates of the economy.

And the kind of advice I always give my workers is that which resolves around honesty, hard work, loyalty and dedication to work irrespective of the prevailing circumstance with the belief that things will be back to normal again very soon.



YINKA QUADRI

We’re in a difficult time as far as Nigeria economy is concerned, no doubt about that. But all I think we all need to do as Nigerians is cut our coat according to our cloth. As an employer, I don’t go beyond my limit. I don’t promise my workers what I can’t afford. And I am trying to be more creative as an entertainer to remain relevant in the industry. Equally, I always advise my staffers to go beyond the call of duty by constantly coming up with initiatives that will drive their jobs higher. We have all become brothers. So, it’s very difficult to fire any of them but they should also sit-up.



AYO BALOGUN

We’re in a tough economy as you rightly said, but everything doesn’t end at that. The kind of challenge we’re going through now is the one that will enable us rededicate ourselves to our various jobs.

As an employer, I need to be more creative in my field to keep my job. And for the employees, they also need to be more creative in their respective areas. They should be ready to go the extra mile to retain their job. They should double their loyalty and work towards salvaging the situation together. They should always be ready to do the right thing at the right time.



BIOLA ADEBAJO

Staffers need to more than ever show their support and commitment in every way, to their employers, and that goes a long way to encourage the employers even in hard times, and thus keep the employees in employment. It’s simple. I maintain a very cordial relationship with my staffers, such that they feel a lot like family already.

Reason For Increasing No Of Single Ladies In Nigeria & The Solution by humilitypays
It is a simple fact that the number of
guys refusing to marry is directly
proportional to the number of ladies
that are single and searching, reason
being that it is these single guys that
have refused to marry that ought to
marry the single ladies that are
searching and praying for husband.
Now, the question is: why do we have
an abnormal increase in the number of
single unmarried ladies that are
searching for marriage partner today in
Nigeria?
Sit back and read the preceding
paragraphs and you will find out why
and how women (married and single)
can help curb this cankerworm eating
deep into our modern Nigeria.
Before we forge ahead, you will agree
with me that 10 to 20 years ago, men
dominated the Nigerian workforce, with
fewer number of women occupying top
positions, but today, the table has
turned as more women now secure
better paying jobs than their male
counterparts.
My personal study into this recent
development showed that most
Nigerian organisation boss who are
mostly men above 45years, prefer to
hirer pretty single ladies for non-
engineering positions, which put guys in
the non-engineering sectors at high risk
of not securing good jobs when
competing with ladies for same job
position.
I also discovered that most multinational
firms have a policy that encourages
female gender empowerment, which
make their HR team give preferential
treatment to ladies seeking for same
position with a male job applicant during
recruitment exercise.
You can hardly discover this secret
organisation policy until you are among
the top management.
If you doubt this, try and go to Victoria
Island in Lagos during close of work; 5 -
6pm (Monday - Friday), and you will
notice higher number of young pretty
females leaving their office premises in
good cars, with few young guys leaving
their workplaces in a car.
If you are observant enough, you will
also discover that most of the male
workers driving home from work are
usually within the age range of: 38 -
60yrs, whereas more ladies within the
age range of; 25 - 35yrs drive home
from work, showing that more young
ladies now have better jobs than guys.
This is also applicable to Abuja: same
study was carried out within Central
Business District of Abuja, CBD.
To many Nigerians, especially the
ladies, it is a good trend; at least to
them, it shows that ladies are becoming
independent from guys, and to the old
working class male directors and
managers, it means nothing because
they are at the receiving end (sleeping
with these young pretty ladies for jobs,
promotion, contracts, etc), but not until
their own daughter(s) graduate from
Harvard University or London School of
Economics and returns back home to
take up an executive position in her
dad's big firm, but only to go to bed
every night weeping and soaking her
pillows with tears simply because there
is no responsible young man in her life
ready to walk her to the altar and they
live happily ever after like she reads
from foreign novels and watch on
Telemundo series.
No wonder many rich parents are now
arranging marriage for their daughters;
yet this doesn't solve the imminent
problem of abnormal increase in single
young people in Nigeria of today.
Now, what am I blabbing about? The
major reason we have increasing rate of
single ladies in Nigeria today is not
because witches in the villages have
increased in number and now pursuing
single ladies and stopping them from
finding suitable husbands just as many
modern pastors make these single
ladies to believe in order to extort
money from them & to grow their
congregation, it is not even because
single ladies of today lack good
character or manner, neither is it
because single ladies now dress
indecently....nope, the major reason is
harsh economy that is no longer
favouring young single guys!
How do we expect a guy who graduated
from higher institution and served his
fatherland after 3 years and still unable
to rent a decent apartment for himself,
unable to cater for his own daily needs
to think about getting married in this
time and age?
How do we expect a young guy who
after 4 to 5 years of passing out from
NYSC is yet to secure a job that pays
him up to a hundred thousand naira,
and give him the opportunity of saving
at least fifty thousand naira every
month to wish to marry and give birth to
children?
The earlier we Nigerians realise the
dangers of having more young guys
without good job, the better for us as a
nation that wish to grow and have a
happy, crime-free society.
I know some people will say: marriage is
not everyone, while others will argue
that must everybody marry? And the
answer is yes, anybody who desires to
marry ought to marry, but is that the
case today? No!
Many young men want to marry, but the
truth is that their pocket isn't
encouraging to take that bold step that
marriage requires.
Some will also argue that must you wait
till you have millions before you marry?
And some will argue that marriage is not
about money, but tell me: how do you
sustain the kids that will follow after the
wedding? How do you plan to pay for
house rent, children increasing school
fees, etc?
Do you want to plan the future of your
kids on one rich relation or friend?
That's unfair to the unborn innocent
children you want to bring to life, please
don't do it!
I know that not every guy or lady will be
rich, but being comfortable to provide
most of your needs should be
compulsory at least!
I still remember the story of Adam and
Eve which I read from “The Book of My
Bible Stories” while I was a kid, it told us
how God created man, Adam and gave
him everything he needed and Adam
will go to his garden in the morning to
return at night lonely, such that God
pitied him and said: it is not good for
him to be alone, I will make him a help
mate, and so God made Adam to fall
deep asleep and then God came and
removed one of Adam's ribs and made
Eve for him.
Adam woke up and saw Eve and was
excited and said: this is the bone of my
bone, flesh of my flesh (dunno if I
quoted those words correctly).
What am I trying to say? God gave
Adam his basic needs before sending
him a woman!
A man deserves to have his basic needs
met before thinking of getting married.
But it is so shameful that old married
men in Nigeria occupying top positions
in various organisations and firms gave
and still giving jobs to single unmarried
ladies who most times contribute
nothing to the organisation's growth,
thereby causing more unemployment
and underemployment of young single
Nigerian guys, with a resultant effect of
late marriage amongst these young
single guys.
Shameful enough, many organisations
today hire ladies by their physical
attraction; once a member of the HR
team admires the female applicant,
whether she merits the job or not, he
must ensure that she gets hired to the
disadvantage of her male counterparts
who most times have better skills to
offer to the organisation.
THE SOLUTION
First, we must tell ourselves the truth:
in Nigerian culture and norm, men are
believed and expected to be the
breadwinner of the family; the woman is
only expected to assist and contribute if
she has and can.
Bearing this in mind, majority if not all
Nigerian single ladies searching for a life
partner want and desire to marry a guy
earning higher income than them.
All things being equal, no Nigerian
single lady prays to marry a guy she's
earning more than; very uncommon in
Nigeria.
But then, we have few single guys in
Nigeria who earn that kind of income
most Nigerian single ladies desire from
their preferred partner. And as it stands
presently in Nigeria, more single ladies
between the age range of 25yrs - 35yrs
have better paying jobs than single
guys of the same age range, which
means many single ladies in Nigeria will
never find husband to marry except
they lower their taste and marry a guy
earning below them or they become
second wife to older men.
All these anomalies were caused by
older Nigerian men who set the wrong
legacy for this nation in terms of bad
leadership, sex-for-job in favour of
single ladies, and more...and for this
status quo to change, every Nigerian
citizen must play a role to bring the
much desired change we dream of in
Nigeria, how?
1. As a young single lady working in a
company, say no to the maltreatment of
young single guys in your organisation
because the more these guys are
penalised and made not to grow, the
more chances of you, your single sister,
niece, friend or even aunt not finding a
deserving husband to marry.
2. All HR personnel must ensure equity
and fairness when hiring applicants for
any job position. Stop the female
gender empowerment; enough is
enough, its not helping Nigeria, neither
is it helping the world in general.
Women are happier when their husband
or man is in charge financially than
when they are in charge...even in
Europe!
3. As a single lady, lower your financial
expectation from guys- the table is
turning, fewer guys now have good
means of income compared to ladies;
you ladies asked for gender equality,
you now have it, please make use of it,
don't wait for a richer guy...if you are
driving and you see a guy trekking
whom you fancy, lift him and don't be
shy to startup a focused-relationship
with him...waiting for the richer guys
driving bigger cars than yours may keep
you waiting for eternity and may bring
you more heartbreak because such
guys now know that they are king to
women and so they treat ladies with
little/no respect.
4. Encourage your single brothers to
work hard, acquire skill, learn trade and
explore business opportunities even if
they are working. Help them with
business startup capital...doing so will
help create a deserving husband for a
fellow single lady out there.
5. Stop squandering that single guy's
money!
Advice him to invest his income wisely!
Encourage him to startup a side
business to assist his salary because no
salary is enough!
6. As a single guy, learn to be financially
wise!
Quit those useless habits that drains
your income! Quit smoking! Quit
drinking! Quit gambling! Quit
womanising; its a costly hobby! Quit
clubbing around town! Quit squandering
money on any girl who isn't your wife!
Learn to invest, learn to nurture a
business aside your job and learn to
spend lesser than you earn! Don't use
your last savings to buy a car just to feel
among or just to attract irrelevant
ladies! Car is more of a necessity until
you become rich! For now, buying car
should be to aid your financial growth
and not for fun or pleasure!
7. As a single lady, pray for your single
brothers, boyfriend, lover, or male
friends and colleagues. Advice and
encourage them whenever you can.
It is no longer easy for single young
guys in Nigeria even though most of
them won't confess this to you due to
male ego!
Let's all wake up to the reality and pray
that President Buhari and his team bring
about the positive change in Nigeria's
economy to help curb this societal
pressure.
Wish you all a blissful day ahead.
