If a system encourages petty stealing, very soon they would graduate to armed robbery and murder, you are right.
Viewing the corruption in Nigeria through your logic, solidifies your logic.
Stealing public funds was not the norm in the 1960s or even during the colonial era. But over the years because the system encouraged it and rarely punished offenders, stealing public funds has become the norm, up to the extent that known public looters go scot free. I once read somewhere that people who looted Nigeria in 70s, 80s would be scared of the current looters, because they have graduated to looting with reckless abandon.
The same can be said of 419, which has now graduated to yahoo yahoo and yahoo+
bukatyne: When humans understand that mankind doesn't have contentment and do not know when to stop, then things like this would stop surprising us.
The moment a show applauds immortality for instance, it is only a matter of time before married people openly display same.
If a system encourages petty stealing, very soon they would graduate to armed robbery and murder.
Maybe by 2040, parents & children would start having sex on BB Naija.
Once the foundation is wrong, that is the beginning of the end
Fighting Boko Haram with jets is not the solution. According to ex navy commodore Kunle Olawunmi, The solution is to go after the Boko Haram sponsors. This government knows them and some of them are governors and senators.
What do you mean by, "some people actually lounge"?
bukatyne: 1. Yet results are still coming out like magic abi? I do not deny some people actually lounge. My CEO once complained that some people are just collecting salary, they are not visible at work anymore
the customer is king or the customer is always right, I also hate that saying too.
Klass99: Why do you think/say working from home is a scam?
The bolded is a great and healthy workplace policy.
I hate that saying - the customer is king or the customer is always right, I hate it with every fiber of my being because it's just so wrong and inaccurate.
I love negotiating with customers and I have the confidence that I would almost always come out with a win-win situation. And because I manage a set of customers, negotiation is not a one time thing.
I love to turn raw data into complex analysis of trends and give recommendations on the way forward. I love it even though it can be stressful and tedious.
I love when I do inductions, trainings and refresher courses.
I love when a customer has a complex issue or strigent delivery/project timeline and I deliver and ensure they are very satisfied.
I love participating/driving extracurricular company activities.
I like that work from home now (even though it is a scam ).
I love when I am part of the project team to formulate new processes or review existing ones.
I love that I have been lucky to have good immediate and a level higher bosses. And interestingly, all sans one has been female.
How can I forget? I LOVE that my job and work environment allows me to be assertive to customers (which is very key in negotiations) when required. That's actually one of the things our CEO promotes. Under no circumstance does a customer insult an employee without addressing it.
Please, what is stopping you from having a social life currently?
Dozis: Like the question goes, I will start with mine, I'm a druggist. Patient: I have this severe body pain and headache that won't let me do anything, please give me a good pain killer.
Me: (proceeds to get the "best" analgesic), you have to take this one tablet every 12 hours for 3 days.
Patient: how much is it?
Me: ₦1,000
Patient: Ah, why is it too expensive naa, just ordinary pain killer, please give me paracetamol.
Me: (speaking in my mind) why you no just walk in tell me say paracetamol you wan buy.
2nd scenario:
Patient: Pharm please I want the best antimalarial.
Me: This one is ₦1800
Patient: That's too expensive, give me the one of a lesser price.
Me (proceeds to bring another one) This one is ₦1,600.
Patient: You don't have the one that the price is lesser than these two.
Me: (brings the cheapest) this one is "dozismartem", it's ₦250.
Patient: Are you sure this one will work, please give me that first one you said it's ₦1,800.
Me: (speaking to myself) What is the colour of your problem this morning?.
I also hate the fact that what I earn is not commensurate with the volume of books I read in school (I practically had no social life back in school and still don't have).
I hate working on Sundays and there are no public holidays because we are termed "essential workers". Last but not all,
Patient: Please I want to buy "Beecham Ampiclox", two capsules.
Me: Please ma we don't "cut" Ampiclox, do you realise that Ampiclox is an antibiotic and you need to follow the full dosage regimen of one capsule every six hours for five days? that means you need two scahets of ten capsules each, to complete the regimen, this is to completely eradicate the bacteria and also avoid antibiotics resistance.
Patient: Two capsules are enough for me, that's how I take it, you just want to "sell more market", I for no even come here, if to say that chemist for my street don open.
Me: (by this time I'm already weak and have nothing more to say as she jejely goes to look for where they will cut two capsules for her) And she will definitely see because we are in "competition" with Patent medicine dealers and because our healthcare system is so messed up that the profession is more regulated for the professionals than the quacks in the street, because people can actually buy prescription only medications without a proper prescription in Nigeria and because if you are a pharmacist waiting for a doctor's prescription before you can sell a drug in Nigeria, you go wait tire. There are still more but let me stop here. In my next thread, I will be writing about common misconception about drugs in Nigeria and how we abuse drugs ignorantly.
If only there were things like career day in secondary schools, or career advisers to help guide senior secondary school students on career paths and what it takes to enjoy or to be successful in a particular career.
drlaykay: 90perc didn't know because they chose to become a doctor at very tender age. A 16 year old filling medicine in JAMB, wouldn't understand the nitty gritty of work schedules. So change your mindset.
Are you a doctor? If yes, please could you describe how a call from looks like?
kambili999: Being a doctor in Nigeria is a herculean task. Now being on call, its unpredictable. Sometimes you get it so easy and you enjoy the call in your call room undisturbed. Other times, you don't even get to put your head against your pillow. You are on your feet for 24hours.
But in all, the beauty and satisfaction of health care is seeing that patient who came to you at the verge of death smiling in a healthy state, being discharged from the hospital. God be praised.
Wow, please keep educating people on the dangers of defaulting on loans. As you can see from this thread, a lot of people are ignorant of the dangers, and think nothing would happen to them now or in the future.
Shokoloko: I don't have a source, I worked in the bank of about 15 years. Part of my job was to investigate loan defaults (some as old as 20 years) and the person had totally forgotten about it. I could use anyone's BVN to pull up whatever I wanted. I just ask the marketer or account manager to tell the person to go and make payment to so-and-so before the bank could discuss further. You see them angry and surprised saying "But this was just N2000, ten years ago" and I tell them "its no longer N2000 o!" And they will be sweating and running around like chickens
Animals that people choose to go to. If a person does not like their rates why should the person patronise them?
It's like not liking covenant University rules and regulations, but a student still goes to covenant University and starts complaining about the rules and regulations of which he was aware of before everything the uni.
yetunsbay: not in this sense...those companies are animals. Amen
You asked for the money after 2 months. Was 2 months the agreed time for him to pay back?
If yes, then why didn't he called you to pay you back and why should he ask you if you want the money full or part of it?
Taich: I borrow my friend money after severally considerations. Growing up with him, he has this character of keeping to his words, so when he asked for a loan, I was torn between keeping our friendship and losing my money. I borrowed him the money, I asked for the money after two months and he said, "do you want it full or part of it". I said give me half because I needed to settle home front with like half of that money and he is a business man. To God be the glory, I was so happy and surprised when the money hit my account. I was so proud to call him a friend. Such people are very rare in our society today.
Wow, I did not know this. Please where can I read more on what you wrote?
Shokoloko: Son, let me explain what will happen and I await any counter argument. You dont have to repay that loan. But this is what will happen if you don't pay. Your name and BVN gets entered into the credit bureau as a debtor. Now if you dont have any plans to succeed and enlarge your business there is no point stressing yourself to pay. But if you ever have a hope of going into business big time, or growing your business, that loan will hang on your neck and you will never be able to access any reasonable service from any financial institution. Whether in partnership or Limited, the moment your BVN pops up in the bank and you or your company is trying to get any form of credit or bank guarantee, your loan will pop up and God help you, maybe by that time a small loan of N20k has become N2m and you really need a bank guarantee/reference to show your Chinese partners that your company or partnership is capable, then you will pay all plus interest accrued. Someone said to report to NITDA. NITDA will only instruct that they should not send messages to your contacts. NITDA cannot wipe your name out of the credit bureau of collections.
Let's try to be looking far into the future when we want to take some actions
If a person can't meet the requirements for repayment, why borrow from such people?
Elliotwaveforec: Which yeye business you dey do? You charge 50% in 10 days. You want people to be your slaves for life abi? You loan people are corporate robbers. Thief,. Tell me in BOFIA Act where they charge origination fee of 45% and the interest on every loan given.
If the interest and fraudulent origination fee is annualised, you thieves charge over 1200 percent per annum. Ole!
The bolded, How about having your own nation within the Nigerian nation? This is possible through restructuring, which would give the different tribes that make up Nigeria autonomy over their lands and people.
Nigeria can be a nation of nations.
Restructuring is the way forward.
tenpipsperday: I am a Yoruba. We want own nation but we still conducted election in Lagos few weeks ago.
Could you please ask your mama to open up and tell you who fathered you because your reasoning is way below that of human. I suspect an ape raped her.
Chuvin22: This deal Has made me believe there is levels to sport politics.
Ronaldo to man city deal shows players brand management is very important In Sport. He made the best move for his brand name to still be in the game. If he had stayed back at juve, no one would be talking about Ronaldo by the end of the season. League sure for him. Top scorer most likely sure for him too. CL sef fit sure.
