Many started being "bullied" right from the minute after birth, where a Nurse will have to give a heavy pat in the back, just to make live and see the world of being in a different view. However, only a few have a thorough knowledge of what "Workplace Bullying means".

For the record, the concept of workplace bullying is a collective expression that includes various forms of mistreatment and hostile behaviour in the workplace setting (Fox & Stallworth, 2005). Bullying means situations where a person is repeatedly and over a period of time exposed to negative acts (i.e. constant abuse, offensive remarks or teasing, ridicule or social exclusion) on the part of co-workers, supervisors or subordinates, and where the person confronted have difficulties defending himself/herself against the mistreatment.

Thus, this research is being conducted as a possible resolution of these critical problems in order for social scientists to have a meaningful impact on legal and policy-related issues. Furthermore, your response to this study will help provide reliable and valid findings to assess workplace bullying, which are important for the development and implementation of effective intervention strategies of Human resources to prevent workplace bullying in Nigeria.

I begin to share this view with an analogy of a Visually Impaired father who takes alms on the Street of Lagos. He delights in instructing his unimpaired teenage daughter to take him to the streets for daily begging- they do this all day, meaning the young girl cannot attend learning activities in school. I see a man that is unknowingly mortgaging his past, as well as the present and future success of his daughter. This resonates with what the Federal Government of the Nigerian country is doing with the present and future of the Nigerian Graduates, majority of who aimlessly and unpreparedly engage in the NYSC program, without any constructive aim/goal in mind as regards the gaps and contributions that these supposedly vibrant Graduates should bring to bear in the Nigerian economy.

By 2025, projections has it that the Nigerian Graduates that will be involuntarily enrolled for the National Youth Service Commission (NYSC) scheme will likely amount to about Three Hundred Thousand (300,000) graduate participants. The cost implication of this will be in manifest folds. Here are a few:

1) This means the Federal Government will be coughing out about Six Billion (N6,000,000,000) per month, amounting to approximately Seventy One Billion, Two Hundred and Eighty Million (71,280,000,000) per year. This does not include the administrative costs of the three weeks camping exercise, kitting corps members, payments of NYSC staff, and other variables that has not been included here. This does not factor in issues attached to inflationary pressures that may likely lead to an increase in the monthly Corps members’ allowance from the current N19,800 to about N25,000 or more. It does not also factor in the likelihood of the country devaluing its currency in the future, which may reduce the amount being paid to corps members as allowance, but at commensurate level that will be able to cater for the immediate needs of the corps member.

2) Second, the savings culture of most Nigerian Graduates would have diminished, as many lavishly spend the allowance, since it comes in easy for most corps members. Although, I feel the fund insufficiency for those that are truly sold out to serving conscientiously and assiduously in their assigned Place of Primary Assignment (PPA), especially those in the Federal Government Parastatal, exuding the ideal clarion-call characteristics of the NYSC.

3) The third, which is more inhumane to a large proportion of corps members, is on the value placed on what I call the Free Social Trust Fund (the monthly Allowance). Speaking from a research point of view and as a Non-Graduate Research Assistant of the University of Lagos, a coincidental research discovery on how the monthly allowance is spent by most corps members breaks my heart. This is so pitiful because, before the end of two weeks after the alert beeps on their mobile phones, the funds are no more; not because they have diverted it to savings, investments or fruitful consumption. Only the wise few utilise part of the Free Social Trust Fund for personal development, professional certifications, sharpen their innate skills, develop entrepreneurial set-ups, pay for utilities, make wise investments, etc.

4) On the brink of passing-out, most corps members begin to feel the initial pressures of self-sufficiency; just above the level of that which they felt immediately after graduation from the University. This is because of the over-dependence on the monthly stipend, without any measurable pointers to achieved tasks that amounted to that N19,800 for the month. Hence, many get paid from the Free Social Trust Fund for doing practically nothing.

Going forward, I propose a Voluntary, but Selective National youth Service Program. Why? Many concerned Nigerians have already over flogged the issue of Voluntariness. That is, NYSC should not be made mandatory for all graduates. Rather, it should be made available for select few who indicate interest during their undergraduate level of Year 3 (for a 4 year course), [b]Year 4 (for a Five year course) and Year 5 (for a Six year course). However, it should be Selectively Voluntary. By this, I mean Graduates who desire to serve the Country should be screened on why they want to serve the land. Why do they want to serve in a particular state, what gaps have they identified in that state, how do they intend to bridge the identified gaps and of what relevance is that gap being bridged to the Nigerian state. What language or culture do they wish to learn, why do they desire to learn that language or culture, how will the language or culture learnt be of value to their returning community after the service year? These few questions can be put forward, including some modified ones.

The above will follow a specified proposal template to be filled and submitted to the Student Affairs Division of their University. With this arrangement, there is the tendency that many will like to choose the States where they are likely to get employment opportunities, those close to their residence, and of other personal interests. A way to ameliorate this tendency is to have a quota-based system of enrolling corps members to States. Once a state is full on allocated capacity or once another potential corps member has chosen a proposed project, another candidate cannot be allowed to do same, except in a different location within a State. Hence, when a graduate has a roadmap of what the wants to achieve before leaving for camp, s/he is motivated and expectant of adding value and receiving commensurate or motivational benefits for work done. NYSC year should not be treated as a relaxation year as many corps members treat it – If continued in that regard, we will only be plotting a doomsday for the Country, where hungry and angry Corpers may join forces to conspire public unrest.

This platform will put all staff of the NYSC on their toes, of course in a very productive manner, as they will be very much involved with screening the proposals submitted by the prospective corps members.

The whole rationale for the above is to help prospective corps members gain essence and specific, but measurable purpose from serving their motherland.

I Write as a Mainland Local Government Corps member in the Reforms & Servicom Group. It has been my desire to see changes in the way and approach that we run our systems in Nigeria. Until we continuously reform, modify and change how we run our systems, we will only continue to have the same degenerated products and results from our systems.

God HAS blessed Nigeria…. We only need to take CHARGE and be responsible for our actions and inaction - those of our heroes past and today.

I welcome and look forward to a constructive critique of this piece, as we must consciously strive to enlighten our youths and make them highly engaged and productive.

I THINK THERE SHOULD BE SOME ELEMENT OF SANITY ON THIS PLATFORM CALLED NAIRALAND
SOME PEOPLE JUST OPEN THEIR HEADS AND BRING OUT THE LARGE RESIDUE OF WORTHLESSNESS THAT WITHIN THEM- THEY NEGATIVELY INFLUENCE OTHERS TO MISDEMEANOR. WHAT A SHAMEFUL WAY TO EXUDE ONE'S IRRELEVANCE.

IF YOU WISH TO EDUCATE PEOPLE, THAT IS EVEN WHEN YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE SAYING, MUST YOU EMPLOY VULGAR LANGUAGES?

LET US BE POLITE AND CAREFUL WITH EVERY IOTA OF SPEECH THAT COMES FORTH INTO WRITING ON THIS PLATFORM.


SEX, I FEEL AND KNOW, SHOULD ONLY BE A LOVE CONNECTOR BETWEEN MARRIED FOLKS- ANYTHING OUTSIDE THE PURVIEW OF THIS IS AGAINST ONE'S DESTINY.

THANKS.

THIS IS REALLY NOT WORTH CELEBRATING!!!
THESE GUYS (DSTV) ARE DOING MORE HARM THAN GOOD FOR THIS NATION-
DO I TALK ABOUT THEIR CONSTANT INCREASE IN TARIFFS,
POOR NETWORK SIGNALS OR THE LONG QUEUES THAT YOU WILL ENVISAGE
AND ENCOUNTER WHILE MAKING THOSE PAYMENTS. COME TO THINK OF IT,
A MORE RECENT TREND IN THE COMPANY IS TO ''MANIPULATE YOUR DECODER'' FROM THEIR END
AND TELL YOU TO BUY ANOTHER ONE; THAT IT CANNOT BE REPAIRED - THEY ARE REALLY CHEATING US
THE IRONY OF IT ALL IS THAT I WILL CONTINUE TO PATRONIZE THEM
BECAUSE OF THE ABSENCE OF COMPETING FIRMS IN THE INDUSTRY.
WHAT THEY ARE CHARGING NIGERIANS, WHEN COMPARED TO THAT WHICH THEY
CHARGE OUR SOUTH AFRICAN COUNTERPART IS QUITE EXORBITANT
WHEN IT RAINS, SIGNAL AUTOMATICALLY GOES OFF......



THE TRUTH BE TOLD,.... WE CAN'T CONTINUE, THRIVE OR EVEN SURVIVE ON THIS FORMULA


WHAT SEEMS PATHETIC AND PAINFUL TO ME THE MOST IS THAT OUR YOUTHS ON NAIRALAND ARE EVEN CELEBRATING THE 1 WEEK 'ENSLAVEMENT'.

ITS TIME TO RE-ORIENTATE OURSELVES....

THANK YOU......

ADEMOLA IS MY NAME...

The ASUU-FGN matter is a clear conflictual matter.

You don't sweep conflicts under the carpet

What the federal govt. should do is to confront the matter and send these Guys back to class
It may be true that the ASUU members are seeming inconsiderate, but the bulk of the matter heavily lies on the Federal Executive Council (GEJ's cabinet)
If GEJ wants lecturers to go back to school on Monday, He knows what to do- i am a final year student of the Industrial Relations and Personnel Management dept. of the University of Lagos, (university of first choice, the nation's pride). Let GEJ commit himself rather than traveling here and there, and watch ASUU make concessions.

The government needs to be trusted, and this is the truth and the crux of the whole matter- GEJ should bargain in good faith

I thaink ASUU will be willing to bulge, they are academicians that should be able to think when necessary

That is my little contribution
THATS ALL. (MEMBERS OF NSCDC ARE NOT INVITED HERE.)

WHAT YOU WILL NOT EVENTUALLY EAT, WHY TAKE IT THROUGH YOUR NOSTRIL TRYING TO HAVE A FEEL OF IT.
WHY SHOULD YOU GET TO THE POINT OF KISSING WHEN YOU AREN'T MARRIED .
I ONCE KISSED 2 DIFFERENT GIRLS, AND GUESS HOW I FELT AFTER THE KISS?
I FELT USELESS AND WORTHLESS- NOW THAT WAS THE DEVIL AT WORK, TRYING TO MAKE ME FEEL LIKE THAT.
DON'T JUST GO THERE- IT WILL EVENTUALLY LEAD TO SEX AND YOU WILL FEEL EMPTY.
TAKE HEED LEST YOU FALL
FORNICATION IS A SIN AGAINST YOURSELF/YOUR BODY/YOUR GOD/YOUR CREATOR AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, YOUR FUTURE.
BUT THERE IS ABUNDANCE OF AVAILABLE GRACE FOR THOSE WHO HAVE ERRED OR MISSED THE PATH. GOD WILL RESTORE SUCH ONLY WHEN THEY COME TO JESUS FOR CLEANSING.

marriage is an adventure that you necessarily don't need to force yourself into. but lots of fears exist only when you can't trust God (the one who created the 2 of you). bible says 2 shall become 1- what a mystery. the only way this is possible is when both parties constantly draw close to their creator (God- through Jesus Christ), then all fears and worries would be expunged- although, this could be a little bit hard.
even apostle Paul in orrinthians said it is good for a man to be alone, thus, it is quite difficult but only God can HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
