MzMariah:
Really?

Well I don't engage in fights with my elder sister and I'm the second child so I can't say o.

Yea... it's real, though not in all homes like yours...
Something makes me feel it's a battle of superiority or so...

I have observed with keen interest that in many homes, including mine, the first and second daughters frequently engage in fights and quarrels for reasons i can't tell. Sisters, please what is the cause of this rivalry?

Funny how the titles are ordered to display the name of the more famous/popular of the couple first...

Science isn't stagnant... everyday new discoveries are made that makes old theories and laws look daft. The best thing is to accept change when its for the good.

SAWYER

Even if you're an exceptional boss -- and here's
how to tell if you're an exceptional boss --there’s
a lot you don’t know about your employees.
There’s also a lot employees don’t know about
you.
Here are a few things bosses wish they could say
to their employees... but never do:

1. "I really do care whether you like me."

I want you to like me. When I come off like a hard-
ass who doesn’t care about your opinions, it’s
mostly because I'm insecure or uncertain of my
authority.
If I’m the owner, my business is an extension of
myself. If I’m your boss, the company is at least
partly an extension of myself. So I want you to like
your job.
And I definitely want you to like me-- whether it
seems like it or not.

2. "I don't think I know everything."

A few people stepped in, without being asked, and
made a huge difference in my professional life. I
will always be grateful to them.
So I don’t offer you advice because I think I’m all
knowing or all-powerful. I see something special
in you, and I’m repaying the debt I owe to the
people who helped me.

3. "I like when you’re having fun."

You don’t have to lower your voice and pretend to
be working really hard when I walk by. I know it’s
possible to perform at a high level and have a little
fun at the same time. Before I started acting all
serious, I used to work that way, too.
When you enjoy what you do it makes me feel a
little better about our company and about myself.
I get to feel like I’m part of something more than
just a business.

4. "I really would like to pay you more."

I would love to be the employer of choice in our
area. But I can’t, mostly due to financial
constraints. And if I own the business, the financial
risk I'm taking deserves a reasonable return. (If I
go out of business tomorrow, you lose your job.
That's terrible, I know. But I lose my business, my
investment, my credit, my house… I might lose
everything.)
Someday, if you become a boss – or especially if
you start your own business – I promise you’ll
understand.

5. "I hope you work here forever."

Job-hopping may be a fact of business life, but as
a boss it’s a fact of business life I hate. I don’t
see you as a disposable part. When you leave, it
hurts. A part of me feels like I’ve failed.
I want to run the kind of business people hope to
retire from.

6. "We sell what we can sell."

I know you despise filling certain types of orders or
doing certain types of work. It’s aggravating, it
makes you fall behind, it makes it tough to hit your
targets and goals… it’s a pain. You wish we would
sell other work.
Unfortunately (from your point of view at least)
sometimes the jobs that takes the most time are
actually the most profitable for our company. And
even if they aren’t that profitable, sometimes the
least desirable work (from your point of view) is
the only work we can sell.
And sometimes we take terrible jobs because it's
the only way to keep the lights on.

7. "I would love to turn you loose."

I know you can't stand to be micromanaged. And
that's good, because I hate to micromanage. But
freedom is earned, not given. Show me you can fly
on your own and I’ll gladly focus on something or
someone else.
In fact, if you feel I’m micromanaging you, tell me.
Say, “I can tell you don’t quite trust me to handle
this well. I understand, so I’m going to prove to
you that you can trust me.”
Pull that off and not only will I get off your back...
I’ll respect you even more.

8. "I do notice when others don’t pull their
weight."

I’m not blind. But I won’t discipline anyone in front
of you. Every employee, no matter how poorly they
perform, has the right to confidentiality and
privacy .
And sometimes I won’t discipline those people at
all, because occasionally more is going on than
you know. You wouldn’t realize that, though,
because oftentimes…

9. "There are some things I just can’t tell you."

Even though I would love to, and even though you
and I have become friends. Still, I can't. Especially
if it regards other employees.

10. "I worry -- about everything ."

I worry about sales. I worry about costs. I worry
about facilities and employees and vendors and
customers and… you name it, I worry about it.
So occasionally I’m snappy. Occasionally I’m
distracted. Occasionally I’m tense and irritable and
short-tempered. It’s not your fault. I’m just
worried.
More than anything, I’m worried about whether I
can fulfill the trust you place in me as your boss.

Is this guy for real?

I have always maintained that Abia has no governor, only a clown whose only project in 8 yrs is to Mount sign posts of his ugly face everywhere in Abia.
I was once passing along one road in Umuahia, the bus driver and other road users were finding it difficult riding on it because of its sorry state. The next thing I saw was a sign post with the inscription "OCHENDO REHABILITATING ABIA ROADS"... and from its nature it seamed that post had been there for at least a year....

I pity those singing praises to this man, I pity them cos they have no good wish for the future of our state!
