In Nigeria we don't even know when to play or work.

Amidst hunger and economic challenges , mr presido rushed off to Lagos on Sunday for a holiday scheduled for Tuesday and Wednesday. Now , Thursday has been added to it. Friday has always been owambe and cruise.

One week gone!

One robot clown will come here to post ,"Nigeria will be great again"

Akalia:
which kind yeye victory. Those countries' labour forces are way more productive than Nigeria's because of enabling environments and pro-people government policies.
In Nigeria , her labour force is overworked and poorly taking care of.
Oyinbo understand the practice of work-life balance.
Everything is about government. Even if you can't do the right thing as a citizen, you still blame the government.
I've worked in an organization where staff members are drawn from 5 different countries. The Nigerian side has the lowest wage rate among them even below Indians. And the funniest thing is that, the CEO is a Nigerian.
We too like to take undue advantage of ourselves and blame the government for everything. How about everyone do the right thing first and see the ripple effect on the society?
You can't have good government when the people are bad and unpatriotic themselves. Till tomorrow, the quality of the government will always be a reflection of the people.

When the government set standards or precedents by formulating and implementing people-oriented policies and then compel people to adhere then we have a good thriving culture in the making. Nigerians are on survival mode-more like survival of the fittest mindset hence the unpatriotic behaviors and this is a direct result of lack of sound administrative performance on the part of the government.

Why I will always heap the brunt of the blame on those in government is because they are in charge of vast resources at their disposal to make significant impact more than individual quota from common citizens.

The reason Nigerians are unruly is because the system headed by unruly politicians is in disarray. Get my point?

They are more than 20 days with the pattern we use..but the holiday itself is 11.

Most of our holidays are often celebrated over two days.
