● The launching (and full federal Government support ) of the Calabar-Katsina-Ala Super Highway as well as the Bakassi deep seaport that our Igbo brothers will DEFINITELY & TREMENDOUSLY benefit from

Romance › When A Boss Dates His Female Employees... by Ekakamba(op): 4:36pm On Apr 17, 2016
I went for a medical check up at a private hospital. After the regular preliminaries at the reception with the often lousy and unprofessional nurses, I waited for my turn to see the doctor. Luckily, the Chief medical Director was the one consulting. When I eventually sat face to face with the obese doctor, he opened my folder and after a careful perusal, paused for a few seconds before eventually jamming the bell on his table. Obviously, it was a summon for whichever nurse that was on duty. Within a few seconds, a petite nurse came in.
"where did you record the B.P and sugar level reading of this patient? " he asked. The obviously embarrassed nurse waited a while before responding.
"I was not the one on duty when he came. It was Confidence that was on duty. "
"Fetch her immediately, " the doctor ordered.
While waiting for the so called 'Confidence ' to come and explain why she did not carry out one of the basic duties a nurse should do before a patient is admitted to see the doctor. I was happy that at least when the doctor reprimands her, it would serve as a deterrent to others. But I was greatly mistaken.
When she eventually dragged her feet into the doctor's consulting room, the doctor surprisingly reduced his tone.
"Confidence, why didn't you check this patient's B. P before bringing in his folder? " the doctor asked.
"Bia Emeka, don't disturb me this afternoon! If you can't do it yourself, that's your own business! " shouted the nurse about to make her way out of the room. I was dumbfounded. What gave that nurse such guts? I looked at the doctor expecting him to order her sack instantly.
"Are you answering me like that? "the doctor asked in a quieter voice.
Lo and behold, nurse Confidence hissed and stormed out of the office. The doctor tried to redirect my attention, but I had had enough. I quickly excused myself and took the next available 'okada' to a nearby clinic.
The above is experience is what you get when randy bosses spend time screwing their employees. Lawlessness and disorder is what you see. A lot of businesses collapse, a lot of hitherto successful men crumble because of such indiscipline and recklessness.
It is against the ethics of every profession for one to have amorous escapades with one's boss, employee or even colleague. In some climes, even married couples are not allowed to work in the same establishment.
It is a well known fact that 'office flings ' is a contributing factor to marital problems and the plethora of divorce cases piled up in law courts. The boss-secretary relationship has virtually taken over most establishments.
Any entrepreneur or worker should know where to draw a line between business and pleasure. Successful career men and women faced business head on.
No one says you shouldn't have occasional flings (not for those who are married). But, avoid your workmates, bosses, employees and subordinates like a plague. Business and pleasure are fraternal twins.

Jobs/Vacancies › FIRS To Recruit 1,250 New Staff by Ekakamba(op): 7:11am On Apr 15, 2016
As part of its staff expansion plan, the Federal Inland Revenue Services (FIRS) has said that it will recruit about 1,250 persons across the states immediately after the budget has been assented to by the President .

This was disclosed yesterday by the executive chairman of Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS), Babatunde Fowler while appearing before the Senate committee on Finance at the National Assembly.

The executive chairman said, “Basically what we are discussing is 2016 budget. And within the budget, we do have provision for recruitment of staff in terms of staff expansion; and in total we are expected to recruit about 1,250 and we have not started and that process will start once the budget have been approved.”

Mr Fowler, however lamented non payment of tax by Nigerians, saying only ten per cent of Nigerians pay their tax.

“We were in Kano, earlier this week and the Emir spoke to all Muslims that payment of tax that is not against Islam. But we have people in different languages with different ideas and as a tax body we have to make sure that we can educate everyone . We have running jingles in all major languages in Igbo, Yoruba Hausa, Pidgin English and once we sensitise the public and you understands what needs to be done, then you can start enforcement or start expecting people to pay tax; that is the media campaign.”

By the grace of God and with your support , we will meet our target. With the economic crunch, the issue is that I can tell you certain information which maybe to start with, the honest truth is that when it comes to payment of VAT less than 10 percent in terms of numbers actually are remitting on VAT. If those people who are benefiting from Nigeria and actually have the love for Nigeria ,they can do the right thing by paying their taxes because in paying taxes ,you are empowering government to provide service. We intend to make sure that we get at least a 90 per cent compliance over the last few months we have added over 362, 000 new tax payers and then our job is just to make sure that we enforce payment”
