We appeal to employers of labor to understand that there is life outside the office. Encourage employees to go home early and when due to be with their families, staying late in the office frequently has consequences on the family circle.
During exigency working late is understandable but making it mandatory that employees should work late or stay in the office as long as they are in the office is not the best practice.
I was once in this situation during my early career days, I was asked to stay back till the MD left, He finally left at 10:15 pm. I went home by commercial transport and ended up in one chance, everything I had was collected from me. They dropped me off at Costain, I had to trek from there to Surulere because I had nothing on me to reach anyone for help. I resumed work the following morning and told me HoD, she spoke on my behalf but I only got a sorry, after life goes on.
I have heard several complaints from colleagues and friends. One of my friend's husband was beaten to a stupor and was robbed because of going home late. At other times the children suffer because mummy and daddy live very early and come back late.
We implore employers to encourage all employees to go home early and as when due. Stay back late does not mean one is dedicated, if an employee comes in early and ensures their 8 hours is productive, 5:00 pm is a good time to go home.
Remember a good home also makes a good and productive employee.
Nigerian employers are narcissistic slave drivers.
Let the truth be told. The girl child should be celebrated more than the boy child because though they hv equal propensity for crime like the boy, they are less prone to violent crime. Men are the problem of this world.
dawndeal: When they gave birth to this stupid boy 27years ago ,his family were celebrating it is a boy child....with the way boys are committing crime now i think a girl child should be the one celebrated now
Gistmedia10: In a remarkable display of love and tradition, Cyril Obarakpo captured hearts and made history in the community of Oria-Abraka, Delta State. Over the weekend, he exchanged vows with not one, but two women simultaneously, in a wedding ceremony that has since gone viral.
The joyous occasion was marked by a moment that melted hearts as a video surfaced online, showing Cyril passionately kissing both of his new wives. Surrounded by friends and family, the atmosphere was filled with celebration and happiness as the trio embarked on this unique journey together.
The radiant smiles on the faces of the newlyweds, now known as Mrs. Obarakpo, spoke volumes about the love and unity shared among them. The video quickly became a trending topic on social media, with many applauding Cyril for his bold step and the harmony evident in their union.
This wedding not only made waves in the local community but also sparked conversations about love, relationships, and the changing dynamics of marriage. As Cyril Obarakpo begins this new chapter with his two beloved partners, their story continues to inspire and captivate audiences across the country.
The girls are oldies and know this might well be their last chance. Guys if you want to enjoy urself with girls just go for the oldies. You fit get even 10 wives sef. They are mostly desperate.
Mikuni: When I look at the married men around me, I no longer see the need of having a wife.
I discovered something shocking, a few months ago:
Most men die before their wives, and most likely before their children finish university education. Look at your dad's friends, how many of them are still alive to enjoy the fruits of their parental labour?
Before marriage, you go through a lot of stress in choosing the right woman (God help you, if she's not greedy and demanding) you spend a fortune on marriage, only to be 'eating' one type of food till you die. If you're not careful, you go beg for sex tire. You think I'm lying? Ask my neighbor who begs to put the tip of his toothpick inside his wife for just a minute.
Now, you're married, you must provide for the rent, bills, school fees, in-law expenses etc You must not forget to keep extra savings for health issues for cases like complications in child delivery, antenatal care, naming ceremony, baby materials, clothings etc
If you're unlucky to find yourself in financial difficulty after marriage, pray your wife is the understanding type, else you'd deal with a nagging woman, the type King Solomon told us to avoid staying in the same house with, and rather hide on your rooftop.
If your woman is easily driven to anger, and not rational in thinking, you're in serious trouble. You may end up being stabbed or poisoned. A lot of men have died this way.
So dear men, why waste your time and money? Be smart!
I leave you with this Bible passage: "Wealth and riches are inherited from parents, but a good wife comes only from the Lord."
You will be lucky it you find a hot young thing ready to settle down. Marriage fir girls these days is from age 28 and above. So even the woman you will be marrying her attractiveness will fade completely within a fewvyears and you are stuck. Anything like side chicks they will start calling you names.
amazingspiderma: The sanctions did not work against the nations but rather made them seek better alternatives for development.
if they keep away from ECOWAS, people will see the clear difference and the rot ECOWAS have been suffering.
Please they should not return, it is not worth it.
I agree that they should not return. Ecowas should hv implemented the ecowas currency years ago but they keep being influenced by France who doesn't want to see the CFA stop being used.
festacman: One big shortcomings of this current government is its INABILITY TO PLAN, to carry out cost-benefit analysis of decisions or SWOT analysis of policies. There is little thinking long and hard on issues. It looks it acts on knee-jerk basis before thinking. Look at these:
-- Removed fuel subsidy without plan for likely consequences. -- Floated Naira without plan to counter likely consequences. -- Placed sanctions against Niger before sending envoys to talk to military junta over there. No consultations or analysis of consequences. -- Implemented post-subsidy palliatives without any plan. -- Installed bloated government with many idle ministers and sides without thinking about the financial consequences. -- Focusing largely on monetary and fiscal affairs without any plan to stimulate economic, boost export and earn forex.
Sorry but lack of planning and thinking of consequences is the black man's culture.
The truth is that most women are not that sexually attractive by the time they want to get married. Within 5 years of the marriage she has lost 80-90% of the attractiveness. So let the Christians keep deceiving themselves with. Sex in marriage is not that great. The marriage partners both men and women have already had all their fun outside the marriage. Make una continue to dey deceive una self.
Moneywirer: Nah, Jim is absolutely wrong. It's obvious that Nigerians have no breaking point in terms of suffering and pain. Coz if they really do, they should have gotten there by now.
Dollar went from 120 to 260, they didn't break. It went from 260 to 400, they still kept smiling. It went from 400 to 750, yet they kept their cool. From 750 it has gone to 1,900 and now swinging between 1,724 and 1,800.
If this didn't break them, nothing else will.
The average Nigerian enjoys pain and suffering!!!!
I bet you even even a dollar climbs to N3000, Nigerians will do nothing about it.
They will simply kidnap themselves more and perform more criminal activities on themselves more.
I don't know why I will spend all my savings on a woman. She is not even a virgin, other guys don chop am well well, I will now be doing wahala for such lady
I even think women should be contributing and bringing money for weddings
folake4u: I'm a brought up Church girl but I discovered so many wrong practices in the church I worshipped my whole life. Don't get me wrong, I still love the church but from a distance now.
- I also lost out on many opportunities following the church doctrines wholeheartedly.
I haven't been to a physical church in like 4/5months. I prefer live streaming (if I can) from the comfort of my bed and it's still same recycled message.
Sigh!
I lost out on many dating and relationship opportunities due to following church doctrine whole heartedly. Everything to them is fornication immorality. I now do church from a distance but I still love God though.
tensazangetsu20: Bros what kind of life are black people living. All over the world, majority of black people are suffering from birth to death. Cursed race.
The British are the cursed ones. The history books are your friend.
pansophist: When people say there is enjoyment in nigeria, it's about the communality, food, being the default, lack of civic responsibilitiee, and "freedom in chaos" such as hook up, bribery, abusing others ( eg sales girl, house boy) etc
Apart from these, I don't know exactly how Nigeria is fun. If one have adapted to their new home, it's far better fun than what's obtainable in naija
How can you enjoy a place with no light, dirty beaches that's not free, no free museum, architecture, library, etc?
And a preventable situation such as bad roads, dumb police officers and bad medical care can kill you in an instant?
Also, your money can only go far in a functioning society. It takes me about 20euros to fly from Amsterdam to the Spanish islands in Africa (Gran Canaria) , but can same amount take you from Lagos to Abuja by flight?
If I dump you in the desert with a million usd suitcase, your money becomee useless, just because the desert can't convert your cash to value.
It's the same thing with being wealthy in Nigeria. Hopefully the drugs you bought for headache is not fake. Imagine paying for your death.
So no, there is no enjoyment in a dysfunctional system. Just that human natures will adapt to bad situations and create fun in it. Just as the kids in the ghetto are having fun, but it's not good life.
You refer to it as the Spanish islands in Africa? There's no Spanish Islands in Africa except that which the Spanish thieves forcefully took. The western Europeans are savages.
proff010: IMF will soon advise dangote not to sell to local market in Nigeria.
What inferiority complex has done to the minds of Africans. They forget Britain and Germany invaded various parts of Nigeria 160 years ago and set up concentration camps in Kenya. Yet they continue to pay attention to western institutions like IMF who don't take their own advice.
Johnjustice: Let the market judge, it's all about needs and pricing, you are just one keypad jobless kid typing on his phone, you don't know what people will do. It's funny how people of low IQ jump to conclusions on issues concerning the world, from their small one room apartments.
Why won't people buy in naira when it's cheaper than dollars?
Do you know Nigeria crude quality is among the best in the world, the Brent crude, this quality is irresistible that is why till today people rush our crude.
In trade, it's all about quality, efficiency and pricing... people don't worship dollar like Nigerians do, dollar is not gold or treasure, it's just a currency. You made no point...give me two reasons why people won't buy in naira?
Let me test to see if you know what this issue is all about...
Nigeria worship dollar due to deeply ingrained colonial brainwashing, colonial mentality and inferiority complex. This is why Nigeria let's western Europe extract crude oil via their corporations send to Europe for refining. When will the black man hv sense
SoNature: As far as the oil industry is concerned, our major problem is the NNPC. NNPC is more like an administrative organisation that lacks the technical expertise to run its area of speciality. NNPC is a cash cow for politicians.
For instance, if you prevent upstream IOCs from sending their earnings to their headquarters, like you suggested, they will be forced to exit Nigeria. This is something we have been dealing with for years now - mass exodus of foreign investments. It has enormous economic implications.
If IOCs leave Nigeria, they will sell off their assets. Guess what, the NNPC doesn't have the technical knowledge to do what they do. If the NNPC had it, Nigeria would have used policies to send them back to their countries and grow our NNPC.
They don't hv the technical knowledge after how many years. The nnpc leadership hv inferiority complex and laziness. Nigeria graduates petroleum engineers every year. The technical knowledge isn't hard
onatisi: nobody will buy Naija oil in naira, oil is in abundance worldwide, and many countries are even boycotting naija oil . so we have to make trading easy for our buyers and that is in dollars. lets wait and see what BRICS will do in a couple of months.
Defeatist mentality. There are plenty African countries that will buy in naira. Middle Eastern partners will as well. It's the European savages seeking to preserve their hegemony that will insist on their currency
GerogeI: I have been saying this since, but this is a half measure. Maybe the CBN governor is testing the concepts.
Instead of calling it delay in remitting usd, Demand that all exports be paid for 50% in naira as a start. 90 days is too short a delay. Investors should repatriate funds once or twice in the year. The impact of those funds circulating in banks for 6 month is huge for the naira.
Instead of the bureaucracy of approving cash pooling every months. Export are paid for 50% in naira( which means a bank would have sold the naira and recieved the USD), banks to process investor repatriation twice in a year, no need for CBN oversight as bank will not err and loose their licence. This also means all oil companies will not be repatriating profits at same time, rather banks will have to schedule them based on availability of USD.
Also note that most of the oil companies export to their own refineries. Exporting in naira means they will start accumulating naira with their parent company to be able to by crude from them selves.
Cardoso and nnpc leadership are too colonially brainwashed to demand payment in naira from their western masters. Only if and when an angry mob burns down cbn offices will they get sense.
SoNature: Yemi Cardoso dey vex; he's trying all the tricks in the book to prove that his isn't a patchy-patchy qualification If NNPC had been a serious state-run oil corporation, Nigeria would have sent many IOCs back to their countries and kept all the USD here.
In the other news, I thought that with all these CBN policies flying up and down banks would stop Nigerians who have dorm accounts from accessing their hard-earned USD. I was happy when I went to bank yesterday and withdrew some real cash in USD
Your first paragraph has indeed said it all. There's nothing international about ExxonMobil, shell etc. These are corporations from imperial/colonial states. They are only present in western countries like UK Germany and host African countries that they exploit with the consent of the brainwashed Africans in leadership positions.
They are imperial oil companies. Their focus is export of nigeruan crude to the west robbing Nigeria of forex from refining and export.
All imperial oil companies should be sent back to their countries let Nigerian companies explore and refine crude.
