Celebrities / The Bittersweet Truth: Posthumous Appreciation Of Artists - Remembering Mohbad by COMPUTERVILLA(m): 4:30pm On Sep 13, 2023
Have you ever noticed how it often takes a tragic event, like the passing of an artist, for us to fully appreciate their talents and the impact they had on our lives? Why is it that we tend to flock to an artist's work and celebrate their genius only when they're no longer with us? These questions have been on my mind since we lost Mohbad on September 12, 2023.

The Paradox of Posthumous Appreciation

It's a paradox that has been observed time and time again. The moment news of an artist's death breaks, their music suddenly finds its way back into our playlists, their lyrics are dissected, and their legacy is celebrated. But why couldn't we give them this same level of love and recognition when they were alive to see it?

Mohbad, the Nigerian singer and songwriter, was no exception to this phenomenon. While he was alive, many of us enjoyed his music, danced to his beats, and maybe even sang along to his songs. But did we truly understand the depth of his artistry? Did we take the time to appreciate the stories, emotions, and expressions woven into his lyrics?

The Rush of Life

One possible explanation for this pattern is the nature of our existence. Life has a way of getting us caught up in its fast pace, drowning us in the noise of the present. We assume there will always be another opportunity to express our admiration and gratitude. We believe that artists will continue to create, and their art will always be there for us to enjoy.

But the truth is, artists, like all of us, are mortal. They too face the unpredictability of life, and we often forget that they need our support and appreciation while they are here to witness it.

Mohbad: An Example of Underrated Brilliance

Mohbad's music was more than just melodies and rhythms. It was a window into his world, a reflection of his experiences and the world around him. His lyrics held meaning that resonated with many of us, yet we failed to fully embrace and celebrate his talent during his lifetime.

Now, as we mourn his untimely passing, we find solace in his music. His songs are once again climbing the charts, trending on social media, and filling our playlists. Tributes and heartfelt messages flood our feeds. We realize the depth of his artistry and the impact he had on us, but it's bittersweet knowing he's no longer here to witness it.

A Call for Change

Let's not allow this pattern to repeat itself. Let's remember Mohbad not just in his absence but in our daily lives. Let's appreciate the artists we have while they are here to share their art with us. Let's honor his memory by continuing to celebrate his music and the incredible talent he was.

In the end, the posthumous appreciation of artists is a bittersweet reminder of the beauty and fragility of life. It's a call for us to value the creators and their creations while they are among us, so they can experience the joy and gratitude their work brings to our lives.

Rest in peace, Mohbad. Your music will forever be a part of our lives, and your legacy will live on.
Celebrities / Remembering Mohbad: The Artist We Didn't Fully Appreciate In Life by COMPUTERVILLA(m): 4:09pm On Sep 13, 2023
Have you ever wondered why it takes a tragic event for us to fully appreciate someone's talents and contributions? Why does it often take the loss of an artist for us to truly understand the depth of their music and the mark they left on our hearts? These are questions that have been on my mind since we lost Mohbad on September 12, 2023.

Why is it that in life, we may not fully recognize the brilliance of an artist like Mohbad until they're no longer with us? While he was alive, we enjoyed his music, danced to his beats, and maybe even sang along, but did we truly grasp the essence of his artistry?

Mohbad's songs were more than just melodies and rhythms; they were stories, emotions, and expressions of his life and the world around him. His lyrics held meaning that resonated with many of us. But why didn't we fully appreciate these stories when he was here to share them with us?

It's a pattern we've seen before. The passing of an artist often leads to a resurgence in their music. Suddenly, their songs are everywhere, trending on social media, and climbing the charts. Tributes and heartfelt messages flood our feeds. But why couldn't we give them this same level of love and recognition when they were alive and could appreciate it themselves?

Perhaps it's the nature of human existence. We get caught up in the rush of life, the noise of the present, and we take for granted the incredible talents that surround us. We assume there will always be another opportunity to express our admiration and gratitude.

Now, as we mourn the loss of Mohbad, we find solace in his music. We listen with a heavy heart, realizing the depth of his artistry and the impact he had on us. We share his songs, we dissect his lyrics, and we realize that he had a message, a voice, and a story that we should have cherished more when he was here.

Let's not allow this to be a recurring pattern. Let's remember Mohbad not just in his absence, but in our daily lives. Let's appreciate the artists we have while they're here to share their art with us. Let's honor his memory by continuing to celebrate his music and the incredible talent he was.

Rest in peace, Mohbad. Your music will forever be a part of our lives, and your legacy will live on. 🎶❤️🕊️

Celebrities / The Return Of Hushpuppi by COMPUTERVILLA(m): 11:01am On Sep 06, 2023
This is a Fictional Tale about the one and only HUSHPUPPI

Once upon a time, in the opulent city of Dubai, there lived a man named Raymond Abbas, who was famously known as HushPuppi. His life was a tapestry of luxury, fame, and riches. He was renowned for his extravagant lifestyle, surrounded by glitz and glamour. But beneath the surface, there lurked a darkness that eventually led him down a treacherous path.

One fateful night, HushPuppi was arrested in his lavish mansion, surrounded by his prized possessions. The world watched in awe as the news of his arrest spread like wildfire. His empire of wealth and influence crumbled, and he was extradited to the United States, where he was to serve his sentence for his involvement in various cybercrimes.

As he sat in his prison cell, HushPuppi's transformation began, much like that of Paul the Apostle. He found himself immersed in deep introspection, seeking redemption for his past deeds. The years behind bars were harsh, but they served as a crucible for his soul. He delved into the Bible, seeking solace and guidance in its verses.

Slowly but steadily, HushPuppi's heart was touched by divine grace. He became a beacon of hope for fellow inmates, sharing his newfound faith and guiding them towards redemption. Like Paul, he preached the word of God and witnessed the transformation of many hardened souls within those prison walls.

Upon his release, HushPuppi emerged a changed man, much like Paul had once been transformed on the road to Damascus. He renounced his past life of cybercrime and turned to a life of serving God. His story captured the hearts of millions worldwide, and he became a pastor of immense influence.

HushPuppi's immense wealth was now put to a noble cause. He helped countless young men and women, who were once involved in cybercrimes, find a new path in life through faith and legitimate endeavors. His teachings resonated with them, and they embraced a life of righteousness.

In a twist of fate, HushPuppi married the most beautiful model in the world, who had also found her faith through his ministry. Together, they became powerful ministers of God, spreading their message of hope and redemption far and wide.

Their church, "The HushPuppi Church Ministries," became a global sensation. Their congregation spanned continents, and their message of transformation touched the hearts of millions. HushPuppi's old friends, who had once been part of his criminal activities, also experienced a profound transformation and followed his path. They opened their own churches, committed to a life of serving God and righteousness.

HushPuppi's life was a remarkable success story. He became an ambassador of peace, recognized and respected by nations worldwide. His documentary, tracing his journey from darkness to redemption, became the best-selling movie of all time.

His YouTube live-streaming platform was a sanctuary for millions who sought spiritual guidance. Tithes and offerings poured in daily, surpassing a million dollars, and all the funds were used for charitable causes and the spread of God's word.

The HushPuppi Church Ministries grew rapidly, establishing branches all over the world. HushPuppi was invited to peace summits, and his influence transcended borders. He was granted citizenship in almost every country on the planet, and wherever he went, miracles happened.

HushPuppi's transformation was indeed reminiscent of Paul the Apostle. His life had come full circle, from a life of crime to becoming a beacon of light, hope, and faith. His story served as a testament to the power of redemption and the grace of God, inspiring millions to seek a path of righteousness.

And so, the tale of HushPuppi's extraordinary transformation continued, a story of faith, hope, and the boundless potential for change.

Romance / A Romantic Twist Part 2 by COMPUTERVILLA(m): 5:43pm On Sep 05, 2023
For a while, John and Sarah's reconciliation seemed like the start of a new chapter in their marriage. They worked tirelessly to rebuild the trust that had been shattered by Sarah's affair. Their love was rekindled, and they even welcomed the arrival of their third child, a beautiful baby girl.

However, as time passed, old wounds and insecurities lingered beneath the surface. Sarah couldn't help but wonder if John's forgiveness had been genuine or merely a way to maintain appearances and protect his wealth and reputation. The doubt gnawed at her, causing a persistent unease in their relationship.

One evening, Sarah discovered a series of text messages on John's phone that left no room for doubt. He had been having an affair, just as she had done before. The betrayal cut deeper this time because it felt like a cruel twist of fate.

Sarah confronted John about his infidelity, her voice trembling with anger and heartache. John, guilty and remorseful, begged for forgiveness, much like Sarah had done during her own affair. He swore that this time it meant nothing, that he had been lonely and seeking solace in the arms of another woman.

But Sarah, scarred by her own past mistakes, could not find it in her heart to forgive him. The trust they had painstakingly rebuilt shattered into irreparable pieces. She couldn't bear the thought of enduring the same pain she had caused John.

With a heavy heart, Sarah made the difficult decision to file for divorce. She knew it would be a painful process, but she was determined to protect herself and her three children from further heartbreak. The legal battle was fierce, with Sarah's lawyers ensuring she walked away with more than half of John's vast assets.

Sarah emerged from the divorce with her head held high, her children by her side. She moved into a new home, a fresh start for her and her family. While the wounds of her marriage were still fresh, she was determined to heal and create a stable and loving environment for her children.

As for John, the divorce had a profound impact on him. He realized the depth of his mistakes and the pain he had caused. With the support of a therapist, he delved deep into his own issues and sought redemption for his past actions. It was a long and arduous journey, but he slowly began to rebuild his life.

John's determination to change and grow led him down a new path in life. He poured himself into his business ventures with newfound energy and dedication. His efforts paid off, and he became more successful and wealthier than ever before. He met a supportive and understanding woman named Lily, who shared his passion for business and encouraged his growth.

With Lily by his side, John achieved a level of success and fame that surpassed even his previous accomplishments. He became a prominent figure in his industry, admired for his resilience and dedication.

Years passed, and John found himself at a crossroads. Despite his newfound happiness and prosperity, there was one question that continued to haunt him: Why couldn't Sarah forgive him, even after he had forgiven her the first time?

He reached out to Sarah, hoping for closure and reconciliation. He wanted to apologize sincerely and express his deep regret for the pain he had caused. He wanted to understand why she couldn't find it in her heart to forgive him when he had been able to forgive her.

The big question remained unanswered, hanging in the air like an unspoken truth. As John prepared to face Sarah one last time, he couldn't help but wonder if some wounds were simply too deep to heal, and if forgiveness, once lost, could ever truly be found again.

Romance / The Transformation Of Ope Dollar by COMPUTERVILLA(m): 4:45pm On Sep 05, 2023
Ope Dollar's transformation from a nightlife king to a fervent pastor was nothing short of miraculous. It was a journey that paralleled the biblical story of Paul the Apostle, where a once zealous persecutor of Christians became a fervent preacher of the Gospel. Ope's transition began with a profound encounter.

One evening, while Ope was reflecting on his life after another lavish party, he felt an inexplicable emptiness in his heart. Despite all the fame, fortune, and worldly pleasures he had experienced, he realized that something was missing. He sought answers in his luxurious apartment, and it was during this moment of introspection that a divine revelation struck him like lightning.

In the quiet solitude of his apartment, Ope heard a voice, a whisper that pierced through the deafening silence. It was as if the very walls of his apartment were speaking to him. He heard the voice say, "Ope, your purpose in life is greater than what you've been pursuing. I have called you to be a light in the darkness, to heal the sick, to open the ears of the deaf, and to make the lame walk."

These words filled Ope with awe and fear, and he fell to his knees in prayer. He wept bitterly, repenting for his past life of hedonism and excess. In that moment, he surrendered his life to Christ and accepted his divine calling. It was a transformation as dramatic as that of Paul on the road to Damascus.

As Ope began his journey as a pastor, his ministry flourished with miraculous signs and wonders. When he prayed, the sick were healed, the deaf heard, and the lame walked. His prophetic words were always accurate, and everything he declared came to pass, earning him a reputation akin to Pastor Jerry Eze of his time.

Ope's singing voice became an instrument of divine healing and restoration. When he sang, it was as if the melodies carried the power of God. Miracles would happen in the midst of his worship, and the congregation would be moved to tears by the presence of the Holy Spirit. His singing was reminiscent of Don Moen, and his worship sessions became gatherings of awe and reverence.

Beyond his musical talents, Ope displayed an unparalleled depth of insight into scripture and life, much like Pastor David Ogbuile. His sermons were rich with wisdom, and his teachings resonated with people from all walks of life. He preached holiness with the same fervor as Pastor W.F. Kumuyi, calling on his congregation to live righteous lives and pursue a closer relationship with God.

Yet, despite his remarkable transformation and growing ministry, Ope remained meek-hearted, just like Pastor Adeboye of the Redeemed Christian Church of God. He was accessible to his congregation, always ready to listen and offer guidance, and his humility endeared him to all who crossed his path.

With time, Ope Dollar's ministry continued to grow, and his teachings on prosperity resonated with many. He became the richest pastor of his time, amassing wealth not for personal gain but for the expansion of God's kingdom. His wisdom was likened to that of King Solomon, and he was celebrated as a man after God's heart, much like King David.

Ope Dollar's life was a testament to the transformative power of faith and the boundless grace of God. He had transitioned from being a nightlife guru to a beacon of hope, healing, and spiritual enlightenment. His name would forever be remembered as one of the great spiritual leaders of his era, leaving a legacy of faith, miracles, and divine transformation that would inspire generations to come.

Romance / The Extravagant Life Of Ope Dollar by COMPUTERVILLA(m): 4:12pm On Sep 05, 2023
Ope Dollar, known as the undisputed nightlife king of Lagos, was renowned for throwing extravagant parties that left an indelible mark on the city's social scene. It was his 35th birthday, and he had decided to host a party like no other. Instead of the usual upscale club venue, Ope decided to make it more personal by hosting it in his luxurious apartment on Victoria Island, Nigeria. Little did he know that this party would be the catalyst for numerous life-changing events.

The night began with an exclusive guest list of Lagos' elite, ranging from celebrities to business moguls. As the evening unfolded, people from various walks of life started mingling, and the party soon took on a life of its own.

Among the attendees was Efe, a successful fashion designer, and Tunde, a charismatic marketing executive. They had never met before but found themselves drawn to each other amidst the lively atmosphere of the party. A spark ignited, and by the end of the night, they had exchanged numbers, marking the beginning of their love story.

In contrast, not everyone was experiencing newfound love. Funmi, a talented artist, discovered that her long-time boyfriend, Deji, had been cheating on her with Lara, a mutual acquaintance. The revelation left Funmi heartbroken and in tears, while Deji was left with a heavy sense of guilt.

As the night progressed, secrets began to unravel. Seun, a cunning entrepreneur, was exposed for his deceitful business practices when a group of investors confronted him at the party. His web of lies and unethical dealings came crashing down, causing him immense shame.

But amidst the drama and revelations, connections were forming. Two couples, Ada and Kunle, as well as Ngozi and Chinedu, discovered they had more in common than they initially thought. These newfound friendships would later blossom into deep relationships, and over the course of four years, both couples would tie the knot in beautiful, intimate ceremonies.

Meanwhile, not everyone was looking for love that night. Ten individuals chose to embrace the freedom of the moment and indulged in passionate one-night stands, their encounters shrouded in the allure of the night.

As time passed, twenty partygoers decided to venture into business together, capitalizing on the diverse skillsets and resources they had discovered during Ope Dollar's memorable birthday bash. Over the next decade, they built successful enterprises and became billionaires in their own right. Their collective achievements were even recognized by Forbes, earning them a coveted spot on the Forbes list of influential entrepreneurs.

Ope Dollar's birthday party on that fateful night had set in motion a series of events that would forever change the lives of those who attended. Love, betrayal, deceit, shame, and entrepreneurship all intertwined, creating a remarkable tapestry of stories that would be retold for years to come. Ope Dollar's name would forever be associated with the night that brought together a group of people who went on to achieve greatness in love and business, all thanks to his unforgettable birthday celebration on Victoria Island, Nigeria.

Romance / Can This Ever Happen In Nigeria? PART 1 by COMPUTERVILLA(m): 12:49pm On Sep 05, 2023
Sarah had always been a devoted wife to John, a wealthy billionaire whose demanding career kept him traveling the world for weeks on end. They lived in a grand mansion with all the luxuries money could buy, but beneath the surface, their marriage was faltering. John's constant absence left Sarah feeling isolated and unfulfilled.

One fateful evening, Sarah found herself at a charity gala, a rare event she attended alone. There, she met Daniel, a charming and attentive man who seemed to see into her soul in a way John never had. Their conversations flowed effortlessly, and laughter came naturally. Sarah couldn't help but be drawn to him.

As the weeks went by, Sarah's loneliness deepened, and she found herself seeking Daniel's company more frequently. Late one night, in a moment of weakness, they shared a passionate kiss. It was a mistake that would change everything.

Unfortunately, the affair did not remain a secret for long. Sarah's actions were discovered by Emily, John's sharp-eyed sister, who had always been protective of her brother. Emily wasted no time in revealing the painful truth to John.

Devastated by the betrayal, John filed for divorce not once, but three times, each filing accompanied by a cold and calculated detachment. Sarah, desperate and heartbroken, pleaded for forgiveness, vowing to make amends and rebuild their shattered relationship. Each time, John's heart remained hardened, and he refused to relent.

For six long months, Sarah endured a grueling journey of self-discovery and redemption. She sought therapy to confront her actions and understand the underlying issues in her marriage. The pain of John's rejection weighed heavily on her, but she was determined to grow from her mistakes and prove her love.

During this time, John's life was marked by loneliness and bitterness. He drowned himself in work, attempting to fill the void left by Sarah's absence. Yet, the memories of their happier days haunted him, and he couldn't ignore the love he still felt for her.

As the days turned into months, something began to change within John. He realized that, while he had been successful in his career, he had neglected the most important relationship in his life. The memories of their happier days haunted him, and he couldn't ignore the love he still felt for Sarah.

One evening, as Sarah sat alone in their empty house, she received a call from John. It was the first time he had reached out to her in months. His voice was hesitant, filled with vulnerability, as he asked to meet.

They reunited in a small, quiet cafe, their eyes filled with regret and longing. John confessed that he had never stopped loving her, and that despite his anger, he missed her terribly. Sarah, tears in her eyes, acknowledged her own mistakes and the pain she had caused.

Their journey to reconciliation was slow and filled with challenges, but the love that had once bound them together was too strong to be extinguished. They rebuilt their trust through open communication and couples therapy, working through the scars of the past.

As time passed, John and Sarah's love grew stronger. They learned to cherish the moments they had together, appreciating the depth of their connection. Their relationship became a testament to the power of forgiveness and the possibility of a second chance at love.

In the end, the couple emerged from their trials and tribulations as a stronger, more resilient pair, having learned that love, forgiveness, and a willingness to grow together could mend even the deepest of wounds.

Health / Is Laughter Really The Best Medicine? Scientists Reveals... Photos by COMPUTERVILLA(m): 5:17pm On Aug 21, 2023
While the phrase "laughter is the best medicine" is often used colloquially, there is some scientific evidence to suggest that laughter can indeed have positive effects on health. Here's more information on how laughter may contribute to lower stress levels and improved heart health:

Stress Reduction: Laughter triggers the release of endorphins, which are the body's natural feel-good chemicals. These endorphins promote an overall sense of well-being and can help reduce the perception of pain and stress.

Cortisol Regulation: Cortisol is a stress hormone that, when consistently elevated, can have negative effects on the body, including increased blood pressure and weight gain. Some studies have indicated that laughter might help lower cortisol levels, thus promoting relaxation and stress reduction.

Cardiovascular Benefits: Laughter is known to increase blood flow and improve the function of blood vessels, potentially leading to improved cardiovascular health. It can help relax the blood vessels, which can in turn help lower blood pressure.

Immune System Support: Some research suggests that laughter may have a positive impact on the immune system by increasing the production of immune cells and antibodies. This could help the body better defend against illnesses.

Social Bonding: Laughter is often a social activity, and social connections have been linked to better mental and emotional well-being. Engaging in laughter with others can strengthen social bonds and contribute to overall happiness.

Pain Relief: Laughing can trigger the release of endorphins, which have natural pain-relieving properties. This can provide temporary relief from discomfort or pain.

It's important to note that while laughter can have these potential benefits, it's not a replacement for medical treatment. It's just one aspect of a holistic approach to maintaining good health. If you're interested in incorporating more laughter into your life, consider watching funny movies, spending time with friends who make you laugh, or practicing laughter yoga.

Always consult with a healthcare professional for personalized advice and guidance on maintaining your overall health and well-being.

Oya make una say Thank you.

COMPUTERVILLA:
SOME SOCIAL RULES THAT CAN HELP YOU.

1.- Do not call someone more than twice continuously. If he doesn't answer your call, presume he has something important to attend to.
2.- Return the borrowed money even before the person who lent it to you remembers it or asks for it. Show your integrity and character. The same assumes with umbrellas, pens and different items.
3.- Never order the expensive dish on the menu when someone is giving you lunch or dinner.
4.- Don't ask uncomfortable questions like: so you haven't gotten married yet? , Don't you have children? , Why didn't you buy a house?, or Why don't you buy a car?. For God's sake, it's not your problem.
5.- Always open the door to the person who comes from behind you. It doesn't matter if it's a boy or a girl, a gentleman or a young man. It doesn't make you small to treat someone well in public.
6.- If you take a taxi with someone and he/she pays now, try to pay your next time.
7.- Respect different tones of opinions. Remember what 6 is to you, it will seem like 9 to someone in front of you. In addition, the second opinion is good for an alternative.
8.- Never interrupt people when they are talking. You allow them to spill it. As they say, listen to them all and filter them all.
9.- If you make fun of someone and they don't seem to enjoy it, stop and never do it again. Encourage someone else not to and show your appreciation for them.
10.- Say "Thank you" when someone is helping.
11.- Praise is public, criticism is private.
12.- There is almost never a reason to comment on someone's weight. Just say, "You look fantastic@." If the person wants to talk about losing weight she will.
13.-When someone shows you a photo on their cell phone, do not swipe left or right. You never know what's next, have respect.
14.- If a friend tells you that he has an appointment with the doctor, do not ask why? , Just say, "I hope you are okay." Do not put him in the awkward position of having to tell you his personal illness, if he wants you to know he will let you know without your curiosity.
15.- If a person is talking to you directly, looking at your phone is rude.
16.- Never give advice until they ask for it.
17.- When you meet someone after a long time, unless they want to talk about it. Don't ask them their age and salary.
18.- Take care of your business less. Let something directly involve you – Just stay out of it.
19.- Remove your sunglasses if you are talking to someone on the street. This is a sign of respect. That's why eye contact is just as important as your speech.
20.- Never talk about wealth in the midst of the poor. In the same way, do not speak of children in the midst of the barren.
21.- After reading a good message try to say "Thank you for the message".
Education / 21 Social Growth Tips Of Life (no. 2 Is Very Important) by COMPUTERVILLA(m): 1:38pm On Jun 20, 2023
SOME SOCIAL RULES THAT CAN HELP YOU.

1.- Do not call someone more than twice continuously. If he doesn't answer your call, presume he has something important to attend to.
2.- Return the borrowed money even before the person who lent it to you remembers it or asks for it. Show your integrity and character. The same assumes with umbrellas, pens and different items.
3.- Never order the expensive dish on the menu when someone is giving you lunch or dinner.
4.- Don't ask uncomfortable questions like: so you haven't gotten married yet? , Don't you have children? , Why didn't you buy a house?, or Why don't you buy a car?. For God's sake, it's not your problem.
5.- Always open the door to the person who comes from behind you. It doesn't matter if it's a boy or a girl, a gentleman or a young man. It doesn't make you small to treat someone well in public.
6.- If you take a taxi with someone and he/she pays now, try to pay your next time.
7.- Respect different tones of opinions. Remember what 6 is to you, it will seem like 9 to someone in front of you. In addition, the second opinion is good for an alternative.

Politics / Fuel Subsidy: What Hr's Should Do by COMPUTERVILLA(m): 5:43pm On Jun 01, 2023
ON FUEL SUBSIDY...

As HR practitioners and driver of Businesses we cannot afford to take a back seat and fold our hands without proffering solutions to Senior Management and Executives, let’s be proactive.

Let’s not wait for that employee to slump in the office before making moves to ease this pressure and tension in the country.

Some initiatives you can introduce are:

👉🏽Remote or Hybrid work mode can be activated.

👉🏽Reduce work hours for early closure from work to enable staff get home on time.

👉🏽Introduce Rota-work system whereby some employees would have on and off-days.

👉🏽Employees can do car-pooling to save on cost of fueling.

👉🏽Organizations can sign agreement with Vehicle leasing companies to convey employees To and Fro their work places.

👉🏽Motivate employees by paying COLA (Cost of Living Adjustment) or make provision for one-off payment on transportation allowance for 2 months.

Inflation rate has been estimated at 18.5% so calculate COLA at 18.5% of gross salary or work around a variable depending on organization purse.

👉🏽Increase or make provision for purchase of data to help improve seamless work from home.

👉🏽Organizations can withdraw cash systematically and help re-distribute to their employees through their bank’s relationship managers.

👉🏽Serve free lunch or pick 1-2 days a week to serve lunch in the office if you cannot afford 5 days.

👉🏽Introduce wellness programs and do physical exercise in the office once awhile.

👉🏽Admin officers or Facility Managers should liaise with their preferred (Vendor) Fuel Station they partnered with for their staff buses, so they can negotiate and purchase fuel to buy in gallons and re-distribute.

Never have we had it so bad; some people with salaries unable to access it in the banks, the accessible funds are being exorbitantly levied; unavailable and unaffordable fuel pump price has made a mockery of wages and salaries and the take-home pay cannot take people home again.

👉🏽While you are at it, have you started considering what Business Continuity Plan (BCP) you need to trigger going into the removal of fuel subsidy?

As HR practitioners, let’s start showing love and concern as the People’s Advocate.

Agree?

Since this is our church, I came to give my testimony.
I wrote this movie in 2021 and we just shot it two weeks ago. It was produced by our company, Julob Entertainment Ltd and we had casts and crew from over five states, including some known faces.

Has anyone else produced a film, how did you go about marketing or selling it? Any advice will help a brother.
Meanwhile, our behind-the-scenes 1 is out.

Health / Meet NKECHI ROSALIND COLEWELL, The British-nigerian Nurse (photos) by COMPUTERVILLA(m): 12:40pm On May 09, 2023
Before i delve into this story, i want you to know that this woman here deserves a National Medal.

Precisely three weeks ago, I had a tap on my back shortly after a Church service in London. As I turned to behold at whose behest, I saw an elderly lady on a wheel chair. Her words were simple, straight and shocking - “I bụ onye Igbo?" (Are you Igbo?)I stared at her with my mouth agape, not sure if she was the one who asked. I felt I had some auditory hallucination but I managed to reluctantly nod in affirmation.
She gave a toothy smile and probed further - “Ebe n'ala Igbo ka ị sị?" (which part of Igbo land are you from?)I told her in shock. She smiled again and said: “M ruru ọrụ na Steeti gị for more than 35 years" (loosely translated, “I worked in your State for more than 35 years)
As she wanted to tell about herself and her works, my mind quickly went down the memory lane. With every goosebumps my entire body could hold, I asked her: “I bụ Nkechi Rosalind Colwell?"She nodded but this time in tears. I rushed and knelt down before her and hugged her in tears. Angels come in human forms and I was so sure I just met one.

NKECHI ROSALIND COLEWELL came to Uzuakoli in Abia State as a young nurse and served in the Leper Colony there.

She was touched by our lackadaisical attitude towards mental health. She couldn’t stand seeing our mentally-challenged siblings roaming the streets even for simple curable ones.

She opened a Home for the Mentally ill at Amaudo, Itumbauzo and went round the whole of Abia State, picking up and admitting our siblings to this home.

They got medical care, learnt a skill and some were rehabilitated and reintegrated into the society.

Nkechi left the comfort of her home in United Kingdom and dedicated her entire life serving the most deprived in forgotten corners of our homeland.

As her sister later told me, “She is Nigerian and hardly identifies as British. She still eats your food and desires to return home back to you someday...”

Her fluency in Igbo language thrilled us all. For almost an hour we spoke, even with my family, we did in Igbo.

She was given the name NKECHI by Late Pa Herbert Osoka. The community she served also gave her a chieftaincy title, while she was knighted by the Methodist Church.

Unfortunately, NKECHI suffered a massive stroke attack at Itumbauzo which left her partially paralysed and confined to wheelchair.

She had to go back to United Kingdom, even against her personal desire (unlike our President) due to the poor state of our healthcare.

People like NKECHI COLEWELL deserve sainthood.
In a country where national honours are bestowed on undeserving politicians and highest-bidding business men, NKECHI’s name can be easily forgotten.

In a State where selective amnesia rules her political class, NKECHI won’t be found fit for the “Enyi (Elephant) Abia” state honours and their likes.

Phones / Tips For Learning Online Marketing by COMPUTERVILLA(m): 11:30am On May 08, 2023
Here are several guidelines that can make the entire process as straightforward as possible:

Start by building SEO skills. This concept is applicable to other areas of digital marketing, such as content marketing and social media marketing.
Once you understand a strategy, implement it. Measure the results and learn ways to optimize them. More importantly, learn from your mistakes.
Keep practicing.
Digital marketing is continuing to evolve at a rapid pace. So don’t take it for granted that you’ve learned everything there is to learn.
Stay up to date with current trends.
Get firsthand experience by working alongside professional digital marketers.
Get certified.

Final thoughts:
Comprehending the ins and outs of digital marketing requires a great deal of dedication. It’s more than merely gathering and understanding information. You must be able to implement everything and identify tactics that are the most suitable for your brand.

Summary:
Digital marketing is more about trial-and-error than following a set of predetermined rules, there is no one-size-fits-all solution. You must experiment with numerous strategies or combine ideas to acquire maximum results.
