I dont know why we have this mentality of oh no
dont recruit outsiders to be your manager or to

we have that mentality this is common among
nigerians i am a nigeria myself and i know what
am talking about. we do our things totally different

as an individual and make some changes. no wonder
we have low unemployment rate. nigerians we need to
change our attitude. I'm not a business so dont think
am posting this on my behalf because i know what's
we spring to your mind when reading this. simply leave your
comment and lets be interactive. no insult or nonsense
