Do they have an history of owing staff?
Do they have an history of paying back what they owe?

Is the company doing well or is it struggling? Why? Is there a prospect things will get better?

I know someone who once worked in an organisation where they could not get a job for over a year despite all the efforts. But the owner never owed his staff. At some point, he was paying from his reserve and selling some of his shares to keep paying. If an owner like that eventually could not pay, it's understandable if his staff bears with him for some months.

In this particular case, when the owner could not continue to pay, he temporarily closed down the office for 2 months pending when things improved, telling staff they are free to pursue other things.

This is what business owners should do when faced with this kind of situation.

In your own case however, I feel you should stay while looking for other options as long as staying can help shore up your resume.
Leaving the job and being idle does not look like a good alternative.

Also talk to the owner and negotiate ways to ameliorate the financial stress you will be put under. Like working remotely where possible.

At the end, do what you think is best for you even if some don't agree with you. It's your life and your situation is peculiar to you.

Likewise, bro. Honestly, I would prefer a Nigeria without a president than voting for any of the contestants, because none of them has convinced me that they truly deserve my vote. I refuse to vote for someone simply because they belong to a particular party or because they are the lesser evil. My vote must be earned through credibility, competence, and a genuine commitment to the welfare of Nigerians.

Life and living is all about making difficult choices. There are only few times in life you get to make a perfect choice. Anyone who can come to terms with this will be able to keep his or her peace

All these people attacking Mr. Kosoko because he dares to support APC are probably more dangerous to trust with power. If they behave this way when their candidate is without power, wonder what they would do if their candidate has power.
These are kind of supporters I will never pray to have in my corner. Their support is toxic

Na wa o. Election seasons are money making season for many. It is like waiting for the World Cup. Hmm. Anyone who can create a business in politics would be smiling to the bank every season.
This US lobbyist is smiling to the bank, he along all the people who hooked him up with the opposition and convinced their oga he can deliver.

Some comments on this page tells me that either some people are working so hard to provoke the Yorubas to cast sympathy vote for the president or they are just not wise enough to realise that their senseless attack and celebration of the misfortunes of anyone with a Yoruba name reveals their own bigotry

Seriously, I knew he could not say that when I saw the headline but I still decided to check. Very disappointed that people will just deliberately cut something out of context just for clicks without thinking about the implications and impact. Beside insulting the intelligence of their followers, this is just terrible behaviour

The peace prize is no longer what it should be. If you publicly embrace any agenda that the left doesn't agree with, you cannot win it.

anonimi:
Sadly this is unreasonable, balablu bulaba town hall conditioning.

The president alone has 53% of FAAC allocations.

36 states share 27% among themselves. This means that a governor has only 1/36 fraction of 27%

774 LGAs share 20% among themselves. That means an LGA chairman gets 1/774 fraction of 20%.

Are you going to rewrite your comment

Why should I? Tinubu is not Nigeria first president and the story is always the same and will always be until states and LGAs start functioning as they should.

Lithiumite:
Did those fx flows grow out of thin air,isn't it nigerians that are generating and driving the market.........there can't be much significant impact on the pocket of your common man if your state gov doesn’t provide good quality and affordable healthcare and education,tinubu already did his with NELFUND and free vocational education and allowances to students.......cancer and kidney centers in the 6 zones of the country to make its treatment more affordable.

You can't feel the impact if your givs don't invest heavily in agric to guarantee food security and making food cheaper......mind u, the govs own the land.

Cheap transportation by enabling CNG and EV stations accessibility in their states,what stops a state from getting 2 or 3 CNG stations per LGA,its even something LGAs can do......this can help ameliorate the high cost of transportation.

Those red buses you see in london are owned by the london city transport and not the uk govt,same applies to many other cities even Emirates is owned by dubai and not the UAE.

Sadly this is Nigeria. Many really have been conditioned to think the Presidency/Abuja is the alpha and omega and the state/local government contributes nothing.
The thing is it does not eventually matter who is in the presidency, if the state and local government continues to underperform, the effort at the center will not be felt.

Take your time and read the below



*Peter Obi Vs Charles Soludo* The Real Facts


I have taken some time to research on the loan descriptions as released by the Anambra State Government which they claim PO as Governor signed off and my findings are as follows:


1. The Nigeria Malaria Control Booster Project (MCBP) 2007:

This was financed through a US$180 million IDA credit from the World Bank to the Federal Republic of Nigeria, not a loan independently taken by the Anambra State Government. The World Bank records say the original IDA credit was approved in December 2006 and became effective on May 15, 2007.

Anambra was one of the seven participating states, along with Akwa Ibom, Bauchi, Gombe, Jigawa, Kano and Rivers.

VERDICT: FG was the borrower not Anambra State Government.

2. Fadama III:

This project was a World Bank/IDA-financed project for Nigeria. The World Bank's project documentation identifies the Federal Republic of Nigeria as the borrower, not Anambra State.

The original Fadama III project was approved in 2008. The World Bank records the project period as 2008–2013 and the original IDA financing as US$250 million.

Anambra was one of the states participating in the project. World Bank records specifically identify an Anambra State Fadama III Project, financed through IDA Credit No. 45960.

Therefore, describing the Anambra Fadama III programme simply as "a loan taken by Anambra State Government in 2007" would be misleading. The underlying World Bank borrowing was at the Federal Government level.

VERDICT: FG was the borrower not Anambra State Government

3. Health Systems Development ll (ADD FIN.)

The financial document listing Nigeria's state-level IDA obligations records “Health Systems Development” Anambra State, with a signing date of August 22, 2003, an amount of XDR 4,831,046, and a 0.75% service charge.

The same document separately lists Health System Development Project II (Additional Financing) for Anambra, so the 2009 reference may relate to the additional financing/HSDP II, rather than the original HSDP.

Anambra-specific records confirm that Health System Development Project II was World Bank-assisted, with activities being implemented in the state.

VERDICT: It was an FG project benefiting Anambra State. The Original document was signed in 2003 and 2009 was just an additional financing of the 2003 signed document.

4. The State Education Program Investment Project (SEPIP):

It started in 2013 and included Anambra State. However, the World Bank documents identify the Federal Government of Nigeria as the borrower, not Anambra State Government. The original financing was a US$150 million IDA credit to the Federal Republic of Nigeria, with funds disbursed to Anambra, Bauchi and Ekiti through subsidiary financing agreements.

The World Bank's financing agreement for the original SEPIP is Credit No. 5220-NG, dated April 16, 2013.

VERDICT: FG was the borrower not Anambra State.

5.The Community and Social Development Project (P090644):

This project became effective in February 2009.
The World Bank's project completion report identifies the Federal Government of Nigeria as the borrower of the original IDA financing. The original commitment was SDR 121.5 million (US$200 million equivalent).
Anambra was just one of the participating states.

6:The Nigeria Erosion and Watershed Management Project (NEWMAP):

This project was approved by the World Bank in May 2012 and became effective in September 2013.

The original financing agreement was between the International Development Association (IDA) and the Federal Republic of Nigeria, for US$600 million.

Anambra was one of the participating states and had its own State Project Management Unit (SPMU) implementing the project.

Anambra's project documents explicitly refer to the funds as part of the Federal Government's IDA credit. A 2014 procurement notice says the Federal Government had received the credit.

VERDICT: FG was the borrower not Anambra State Government.

7. The Value Chain Development Programme (VCDP):

Records shows VCDP was approved by IFAD in April 2012, not 2013.
The financing agreement was between the Federal Government of Nigeria (FGN) and IFAD, signed in August 2012.
The programme became effective in October 2013.

The original programme covered Anambra, Benue, Ebonyi, Niger, Ogun and Taraba.
The original financing included an IFAD loan of US$74.4 million, an IFAD grant of US$0.5 million, plus counterpart contributions from the Federal Government, participating states, LGAs and beneficiaries.

IFAD's documentation specifically describes the loan agreement as being between FGN and IFAD.

VERDICT: FG was the borrower not Anambra State Government.

OVERALL VERDICT:

All the project listed by the Soludo led Anambra State claiming that it was financed by loan independently taken by Anambra State Government under Mr. Peter Obi are 100% false and misleading. Verifiable World Bank records shows FG was indeed the borrower while Anambra State under Obi participated and benefited just like some other states.

#Copied

Under the World Bank’s founding articles of Agreement, its primary public-lending arms—the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD) and International Development Association (IDA)—can only extend loans directly to a sovereign national government or to entities whose loans are fully guaranteed by the sovereign government.

In practice, states, provinces, or municipalities cannot independently negotiate and borrow directly from the World Bank. The financing agreements are executed between the World Bank and the central/federal government (e.g., through a national Ministry of Finance).

​Because the federal government holds ultimate financial liability for the debt, repayment flows back through the central government, which typically deducts or recovers those funds from subnational allocations or dedicated state revenues.

It's all about interest at the end for both party

Is this a skit? Why record a video to post online? We are living in strange times

Hmm. Politics is business. Some people will be smiling to the bank at the end of this.

People should try and read these posting before responding. The Minister did not order any arrest. The poster is the one who captioned his post that way.
When he quoted the Minister, he quoted him saying "I will have him arrested". That's not an order, it's an intention to get him arrested.
That's similar to what happen when we report crime to the police, our expectation is that they will assess the situation and arrest the culprit in accordance with the law.
We sha like arguing over things

While everyone starts calling government out as it should be, we should not forget to call out our fellow Nigerians who are carrying out this evil acts.

Regardless of how hard and tough our lives have been, no one has the right to kidnap a fellow human being for ransom. It is the height of evil and wickedness hurting others who are equally likely struggling too like every average Nigerian.

When we just blame government without calling them out, we excuse their evil deeds.

Lol. Some people are just entitled, selfish and immature. You cannot force people to vote one way or the other. It's a fundamental human right and the foundation of democracy.

I do not like it when my workers do it. I don't enforce it but I have less trust for those of them who do it.

The hodlums that can do this kind of things are known to the politicians.

Politicians sha.

Kenyamo - we have an agreement. You endorse Tinubu

Spokesman: We don't have an agreement . But our endorsement is based on his performance that has lifted the state.

Both handing out food for partisan and supporters

Kemetian:
The same Abacha whose stolen billions are still being recovered till today, and who HANGED Ogoni activist Ken Saro Wiwa for demanding that imperialists Shell compensate his people for the horrendous pollution they caused in the region. Despite appeals from the entire world including Nelson Mandela.

This DEMON AND WESTERN STOOGE, Abacha went ahead and hanged Ken Saro Wiwa to global outrage and disgust.

It made Nigeria an international pariah nation. A name that evoked disgust, globally.

In Abacha's time, you think if we had Internet then, you could go online and abuse him like you abuse Tinubu?

His SS would storm your house and the rest is history for you.

Even in public at a drinking joint, you couldn't talk anyhow, because you didn't know who was a plain-clothes SS goon that would grab you and whisk you off to the barracks or wherever to handle you.

This is the same DEVIL that you people are claiming was what?

NONSENSE.

Utomi is just a marginalised PDP has-been angry he's no longer in the corridors of power.

Now he's looking for Abacha. 🙄

Exactly. Desperation makes people speak dishonestly at times. I was an undergraduate during Abacha's era and I remember the terror his name evoked. Even when the news broke that he died, people did not come out to react out of fear that it might not be true.

Even the economy was bad for that era. I and my siblings would wake up very early to go and struggle with other children to gather sawdust to cook because we could not afford kerosine. Saw dust literally became gold.
We would gather even the wet one and go and dry it at home. Then load it inside those tins and pray it doesn't collapse before your cooking was done. And to think then we would be considered and educated middle class family!

Nigeria has myriad of problems today but it doesn't mean that we should be dishonest about progress that has been made.

Partisan politics turn even so called reasonable people into fools.

How can anyone who lived in Abacha's era conclude that the current government is worse.
At least the opposition politicians have the freehand to criticise the current administration, even abuse them publicly and fancy their chance on winning the next election.

Compared this with when Abacha was in power and had decided he was going to transit from military to civilian - there was no opposition at all and no freedom of speech everyone seems to take for granted now.

If not for his death and divine intervention, everyone already thought it was a done deal.

That's a quality of real leaders. They recognise their opponents strengths when necessary.

I remember what Trump said about Hillary Clinton and Kamala Harris too despite their bitter contest and rivalry.

They should report the man to the police or hospital security to handle it and go about their business of saving others.

All of them going on strike for this reason is very thoughtless and pathetic and shows a lack of deep understanding for their role as nurses.

It's their own version of do you know who I am. What a tragedy .

As long as our government is tied to and reliant on China and the Chinese, our industrial base will not grow.

FxMasterz:
Neither could the US have survived without Israel.

Without Israel, the US couldn't have become a world power.

Israel can survive without any help from any nation according to the covenant God made with them for the end times.

Donald Trump should know his place and stop boasting ignorantly.

Don't mind him. Israel has survived many empires, kingdoms, and millenia and is still around today by divine providence despite the many times she was attacked and scattered.
The US is blessed today because it supports Israel, not the other way around.

Israel has been surviving before the US existence

If not for Bola that brought dangerous politics of tribalism from Lagos to Abuja, honestly Nigeria would have been a sweet nation..



May God bless all wonderful Yorubas that refused to allow themselves corrupted by politics of tribalism, division and hatred.



We all stood together for Obasanjo as if he was our own blood brother.


We all stood together for Jonathan as if he was ours.


We all stood together for Yaradua as if he was our kinsman.



It reach Tinubu turn, he brought in his Lagos dangerous political tactics.



God will show them that He is God sha.



May God bless Isaac Fayose and other well meaning Nigerians doing their best for a better, United, prosperous Nigeria for all Nigerians irrespective of tribe

I suppose this is your first true test then - when you now have to make a choice between your own tribe man and another. How convincing will you sound if you declare tribe has nothing to do with your vote?

Omoawoke:
What do black Africans know about respect to animals..

The first and last test of morals is how a man treat animals and his environment

But what of people who treat their environment and animals better than they treat their fellow humans?

It is well. What's the point of taking a photo no one will recognise her from?

Vision101:
Release which letter? That chicken called Rufai thinks of himself so highly that because he sits in a studio and dish out hate against a government then he can demand anything. Official diplomatic communication between two presidents will be made public to please Rufai.


Who taught that guy journalism. A journalist is supposed to be neutral. To Rufai it has become a tool of hatred. What gets me annoyed is who the hell is Rufai. Prior to 2023 who knew him. We know the Abatis, Yakubu Mohammeds, Ray Ekpus, Dele Giwas etc. Who is Rufai please?

Journalism has changed. We now have advocacy journalism. They do a lot of that in the West too. It's now a team sport. Trump understands it. That's why he usually attack the mainstream media in the US too who barely conceal their hatred for him.

That's really nice. Means he has confidence in his own institution.
Now how about Masters? Still here in Nigeria?

This is a good initiative if it's not highjacked by the usual suspects.
If they select qualified candidates, they will certainly pay back because there are many extremely talented Nigeria youths.
Otherwise, it will bomb.
