sweetonugbu:How did you deal with her? |
amiibaby:Risky move. In as much as I don't support her attitude, don't you think that you went to the extreme in dealing with her? |
I'll go first. I had to collect an envelope from NIPOST. Met with the woman in charge and she had this air of importance all around her. At first, she checked my receipt and delayed me for about 20 minutes at the counter without telling me where she is going to. She just left me there. I didn't talk. I waited. Then, she asked me to write my name and address at the back of the envelope. And left me for another 10 minutes or so. Then, she came back to tell me to sign at the front of the envelope. I did that too. But I wondered why she didn't ask me to do this at a go. All in all, I spent almost 30 minutes to collect an envelope that shouldn't take up to 5 minutes. If Nigeria is to move forward and progress, the reform should start from these government agencies. Your turn, |

Half of the people who quit their job decide to do so because of the management issues, even if they are fully satisfied with their salary and love the job they are doing. Just how widespread this problem is can be acknowledged from a recent Gallups survey, claiming that companies fail to choose the right candidate for the management role in 82 percent of the time, causing great financial loses as well as much higher employee turnover rates. The only way to prevent such failures is by actually listening to what the employees have to say. So what are the expectations most people have of their managers? 1. Cultivate good communication Communication is a two-way street, even when it comes to management, and when the road is rocky, damages occur. On the other hand, when built on mutual respect and trust, good communication is in any given context a firm foundation of a meaningful relationship. 2. Praise not a raise According to Entrepreneur, 65 percent of employees would be happier at work if their manager gave them recognition for their work. As only 35 percent would opt for a raise instead. Praise and recognition are indeed one of the most important motivators and determinators of employees’ engagement. 3. Focus on strengths Best employees want their managers to be able to be their mentors and give them some additional support, as well as help them in reaching their career goals. They want to be able to grow, and the only way to do so is if their individuality is appreciated. Thus making focusing on employees’ strengths and not their weaknesses one of the main characteristics of good management. 4. Don’t ignore conflicts Conflicts are a part of our workplace reality, and when they happen, the worst thing a manager can do is simply ignore them. Existing conflict not only influences involved parties, but it also creates a negative atmosphere in the office, causing your other employees to suffer too. 5. Don’t micromanage Employees need a certain level of decision-making authority, as well as their autonomy to choose how and when they will work on their tasks. They hate being micromanaged, as this style of management implies a lot of things. Such as the possibility that their manager doesn’t have faith in employees, doesn’t trust them, or craves control. This is a message no one wants to receive. Source: https://ideasplusbusiness.com/things-employee-expects-management/ |
Lalasticlala, what do you think about this post? |
Small businesses often struggle with being able to manage all the work by themselves. They tend to make mistakes based on inexperience, and work overload. With the millions of apps that are available, here’s a list of the top seven business tools that you should consider for managing your startup business. 1. Shopify Shopify is an e-commerce platform for small businesses and entrepreneurs who can use this platform to introduce and sell their product into the market. 2. Basecamp A project management tool helps you in all your management needs starting from planning, delegation, executing, controlling and gathering feedback. Basecamp helps you go through all these functions with ease similar to cutting into butter. 3. Things What a simple name for an application that does so much. This app is a holy grail for all productivity nerds. Things were first introduced to the apple app store in 2008 along with the original iPhones in most countries. Things was loved and accepted by all then. As the iPhones got updated, unfortunately, Things didn’t. Until they introduced Things 3 in 2017. 4. LastPass Just like its name, this app gives you the ultimate pass and freedom to enjoy without the hassles of remembering your password or losing your saved passwords because you forgot to backup encrypted data. LastPass is an application that helps you store all your passwords in one place. 5. Slack Slack helps users organize topics by importance, or simply highlight the important conversations or topics. Clear confusions on the spot. No more waiting for an email. This application can be used from anywhere using your mobile, desktops, laptops, etc. 6. Toggle Toggle connects all your devices and gives you the much-needed reminders to either get off work or get on with that project. Another benefit- it works even without an internet connection. You simply have to sync it when you get a data connection. 7. Evernote Evernote helps in storing and organizing your documents and notes. It helps you sync them to your different devices so that they are accessible from anywhere at any time. Source: https://ideasplusbusiness.com/business-tools-managing-startup-business/ |

PhenomenalMorgan:Yes. That's one way to start building your brand. What is your niche? I can help you get started. |
When done right, a guest post service will help you achieve either one or all of these three things: 1. Increase your organic traffic. 2. Build quality backlinks back to your website 3. Position you as an authority in your industry. When you submit quality guest articles to other blogs in your niche and they link back to your blog, your brand reputation and rankings will increase on search engines. In other words, guest blogging is one of the safer ways to build backlinks and increase organic traffic to your website. A quick illustration. Who do you trust more: Beyonce Knowles or Bolu Phil? Beyonce does it for me. Not because I like her music (sorry Beyonce) but because her brand authority in the music industry. Which of these cars do you prefer: Toyota or Veem? I know only Toyota. Never heard of Veem. Who is the best football player: Lionel Messi or Shiffi? Lionel Messi because I’ve seen him play. I don’t know Shiffi. You get the point. That is exactly what a quality guest posts will do to your online brand — exposure and recognition. And then more money. Guest blogging means more trust. More traffic. More backlinks. More revenue.

frbona:Do you have any personal story to share? |
Apination:I agree with you. |
In my third year in the university, my course supervisor invited me into his office. I was dressed in a tight shirt and a pair of jeans that accentuated my curves as usual. It all started as an educative session, and then conversation swerved uncomfortably. He starts moving closer to me. “What shall I do?” says my mind, panicking. The man’s erection wilts despite his distraught efforts. He moved closer, started rubbing my hair and staring at my breasts. “This isn’t right sir.” I finally dared to speak up. He just kept telling me how we humans determine what’s right and wrong and how well things would go for me if I agree to sleep with him. I played him and found my way out of his office. I don’t know a single person, no matter how cruel the harassment or the assault, who doesn’t feel some of that guilt and shame and wonders: “Could I have done something differently? Perhaps it was my fault?” When I saw that, I felt the beginning of what would be months of grief. It was my first realization that the academic system, that I thought was so meritorious, that I wanted to spend my life within was deeply unfair. I wouldn’t receive any justice, and he could go on and harass other women. Frustrated and upset, I stopped attending his classes. Through hard work, I graduated as a distinctive student from his course. Source: https://hergists.com/experience-sexual-harassment-university/ Share your story. Cc: Lalasticlala Myndd44 Seun |

I ran into an old friend about a week ago. She was excited and happy to see me. We were all chatty and excited as any reunited old friends would be. Over some drinks half an hour later, we caught up on a lot that’s happened since we last met and equally joked about some old memories. But with all her happy-and-excited-to-see-you countenance, I was able to detect a few lines of worry that kept appearing on her face. I didn’t know what to do. Should I ask her and possibly hit a nerve or a sore spot? Would I be able to handle it? I mean she was obviously doing her best to be her usual happy and chatty self. So whatever it was that she was hiding was quite weighty. Before long, the always-concerned and ever-ready-to-help person in me took the better of me. Her worried look transferred to me – I couldn’t hold it in anymore. “What’s wrong, Ann?” I blurted out. “There’s something on your mind, right?” Her response confirmed my suspicion. The forced bright and excited look on her face dissipated faster than I could blink, giving way to a gloomy and sad one. “You know you can tell me anything. I’ll do my best to help.” “Iheoma, my boss is sick! He has Type II Diabetes” she blurted. “I don’t know what would become of me if anything happens to him.” I couldn’t believe my ears. Ann has always had high moral standards. I wouldn’t believe it if anyone told me that she was having an affair with her married boss. She must have seen the expression on my face and read my thoughts which made her to put me clear immediately. “Oh no, I meant my job. I mean, if anything happened to my boss, I’d have a major job threat – and if I’m out of job – I wouldn’t know what would become of me and my family.” “Oh… I’m sorry about that” I apologized, chastising myself for being quick to judge her. But that got me thinking: employees are concerned about the health status of their bosses. Well, why wouldn’t they be? Having a secure and paying job is priceless. A new CEO could mean severe structural and organizational changes in the organization – and many people could lose their jobs in the process https://ideasplusbusiness.com/online-cv-assessment-tools/ In my friend, Ann’s case, she was the CEO’s P.A. With the man gone, her job would be hanging on a thin rope. Studies have shown that heart attacks cause 60% of CEO deaths. Does this mean that CEOs, with all their wealth, have no interest in their health? I don’t think so. Most CEOs get so lost in the struggles of building and growing their business that they forget that they actually need to be healthy to enjoy their wealth. CEOs spend their working-hours multitasking. They make decisions in matters such as legal issues, human resource issues, new products, marketing strategies, etc. Let’s not forget that some of these matters are urgent and so, demand an immediate response – responses that must be right for the business. So all these decisions, as well as so many other responsibilities of the CEO, must be executed with the organization’s vision in sight. A wrong step costs the business a lot: reputation, authority, clientele, and consequently, money. At the end of the day when the work day is over, and the dust settles, all the hustle and bustle that characterize a CEO’s day, distill and form a health threat: Stress. Each passing day, more drops of this health enemy distill into the CEO’s body system and soon, if he does nothing to fight it, he falls sick. What happens next? Your guess is as good as mine. The CEO is struck down. And all the ensuing action is like the effect the cries and clucking of a dying chicken has on its mates. In a typical African home, celebrations are often marked by the killing of a chicken – sometimes, two or three. As soon as the knife starts cutting the neck of the selected chicken, it starts to make desperate cries and struggles for its life. This alerts all other chickens in the environment and neighborhood. They panic. Some run away in fear of their seemingly impending fate, while others begin to make a sympathy-cry for their dying mate. Some neighbors will immediately come over, hoping to get a share. When you joke with your health, you’re putting your business in jeopardy. Like my friend, Ann, your employees will panic and worry in fear of their unknown fate. Your competition will sympathize but will strategise on how they could maximize the opportunity presented by your unfortunate circumstance. And just like a graveyard, the atmosphere in your business will be gloomy and quiet. You get the best healthcare to ensure you come back – and if you’re lucky – your body will fight back and win. But then you’d have gone through a near-death experience, sending panic and worry across family and employees. No business owner wants to have to go through this, I’m sure. As a business owner, there are so many reasons why you need to be healthy– for yourself – and your business. Source: https://ideasplusbusiness.com/your-business-needs-you-to-be-healthy/ |

Today, I want to share my story of sexual assault in the university. Sexual harassment in the university is whose fault? Is it the fault of the parents, lecturers, society or the victims? I grew up in a religious home, one that shuns any form of sexual interactions before marriage. I remember my mother saying to me: “Your husband will respect you forever if you remain a virgin till your marriage night”. As expected, I took that to heart, and it became one of my future goals. At 19, I had a male friend who occasionally visits my school. He came around and gave me a call. So, I rushed out to meet a friend I had missed dearly in my over-sized clothes. Only that he changed plans and we had to meet at his friend’s house. We had exciting conversations until the sexual urge sets in. He unzips his trousers and gets his penis out. It was my first time seeing a man’s penis. We stare at ourselves for what feels like a long time. Realizing nothing would happen, he puts back his “property” inside the trousers. At 21, I was a mature lady with lots of guys hovering around me. It felt so damn good. I was still a virgin. One day, I set out to a professional class I was taking. I got a call from an old friend who had traveled down to my town. He wanted us to hang out. “Sure, why not?” I said eagerly. After lectures, I met with him (my old friend), we had snacks, and I got pizza to go. On my way home, and very unfortunately, my mum called and decided to come pick me up. She showed up, I stepped into the car with no worries, and that’s where it all started. “Where did you get the pizza?” “You have started sleeping around.” “Let’s go for Virginity test.” She went from zero to 100 in a minute. I was mortified! With confidence, I agreed to go for the virginity test which made her realize I had no skeletons in my cupboard. At 22, I made the conscious efforts to prove to my parents how matured and grown I was. I had sex. I developed all the curvy parts I never envisioned and the sexual advances from the opposite sex multiplied. Is this a blessing or a curse? A blessing of course! In my third year in the university, my course supervisor invited me into his office. I was dressed in a tight shirt and a pair of jeans that accentuated my curves as usual. It all started as an educative session, and then conversation swerved uncomfortably. He starts moving closer to me. “What shall I do?” says my mind, panicking. The man’s erection wilts despite his distraught efforts. He moved closer, started rubbing my hair and staring at my breasts. “This isn’t right sir.” I finally dared to speak up. He just kept telling me how we humans determine what’s right and wrong and how well things would go for me if I agree to sleep with him. I played him and found my way out of his office. I don’t know a single person, no matter how cruel the harassment or the assault, who doesn’t feel some of that guilt and shame and wonders: “Could I have done something differently? Perhaps it was my fault?” When I saw that, I felt the beginning of what would be months of grief. It was my first realization that the academic system, that I thought was so meritorious, that I wanted to spend my life within was deeply unfair. I wouldn’t receive any justice, and he could go on and harass other women. Frustrated and upset, I stopped attending his classes. Through hard work, I graduated as a distinctive student from his course. Now admittedly, I am in the safety of a middle-class world where women are taken seriously. Sexual harassment is insidiously destroying lives, redesigning careers, and switching the status quo that seriously needs to change if we are to progress as an efficient society. Nothing will change if we pretend we live in that dream world already when in reality we have a long way to go. Unfortunately, it’s not so easy to forget about the real and tragic effects of sexual harassment because most of the time, the victims remain silent. I never kept my experiences to myself alone. I shared them with trustworthy and matured people around me. And that went a long way in aiding my healing process. If you’re going through any form of sexual harassment in the university, at work, or even in your community, please speak out. Share your encounter with someone and stay sane. |
This is one experience that I can never forget. And I want you to learn from it as I did. Love and sex is sweet. But there’s nothing wrong with having it at the right time and with the right person.https://hergists.com/the-crazy-thing-i-did-for-love/ |
- Keeping an opposite sex as your best friend when we're in a relationship. - Sleeping over at the opposite sex house because they are your friend and nothing will happen. - Using the pictures of your friends (opposite sex) as your profile picture on WhatsApp and other social media. - Keeping malice with your family members. Definitely, you will do that to me too. |

Do you know that you can destroy your relationship with your attitude? Most people handle their relationships with levity which is not meant to be so. According to a study published in The Journal of Personality and Social Psychology , researchers found that couples reaction to each other’s good news—either with excitement, pride, or indifference—is very crucial in forming a strong bond between them. Relationships are meant to be a thing of joy and not the other way round. I’m not trying to preach here. But I think most of the heartbreaks that are happening now is all because of one of the partners took the other for granted. Building a successful relationship is not by some wishful thinking. It requires constant work from both parties. Respect, love and care are the most important things that should be present in every relationship. I heard the story of a lady that values her career more than her romantic relationship. She claims to be in a serious relationship but isn’t ready to give up some things for the relation even when her partner is giving all his best. This is not right. Giving shouldn’t be one sided. It’s not possible. You can’t eat your cake and have it. It’s either you give your all in your relationship or you opt out. The same thing applies to men. Stop treating your women as second fiddle. Stop making her feel less of a woman. So many men don’t appreciate their partner’s availability. The moment you notice that your presence is being taken for granted. Then you need to recheck yourself and see what might have gone wrong. Do not overstay your welcome at a place that your attention or service isn’t needed. The moment you notice that your partner is beginning to act strange, the message they they might be trying to pass is that they need a break. I’m not asking you to break up with them. This is where communication comes in. It’s normal for us as humans to get tired of ourselves but not to the extent of making the other party feel cheap stupid for being around you. The moment you notice that you’re already feeling bored of your partner, there are better ways of telling them without hurting them. Don’t be too hard on yourself. Be sweet. Relax and you will be fine. Another thing is that once that particular person who is fond of being around you slips off your hand? That might be the end of it. An issue happened between I and my partner recently. I was talking with him about what we needed to buy for us and his reaction got me off. You need to see the look he gave me. Gosh! I felt very bad. I was really vexed. So, I later called his attention to what he did. After telling him about what he did, he denied it that he didn’t mean it the way I meant it. I decided not to argue with him because arguments will only destroy relationships. The moment you begin to chase the people around you away, you’ll end up living alone and doing things alone. Treat the people around you well so that they can also do the same to you. Source: http://hergists.com/how-to-destroy-your-relationship/ |
I have been feeling very bad for my attitude especially the recent one that led to this post. Please don’t bash me. Read this with an open mind. I’m a lady and this is my confession. I am really regretting my past deeds . I pushed him to the wall. He loved me but I paid him back with pains. I know what it means for one party to be conscious of their words while the other isn’t always like that. I am really regretting my actions right now. I shouted at him. I hurt him badly. I made him feel worthless. I wronged him. I frustrated him so much that he can no longer tolerate me again. Please, how can I get him back ? I miss him so much. I miss the real him. I miss hid jovial part. I miss his childish ways of life. The way touches me and make me feel loved even when we aren’t together in the same place. I am fond of being with him. I am so fond of playing with him. I don’t want to miss those naughty plays with him. I’ll go crazy if he leaves me for a moment. I am so used to opening up to him. I am so used to being naked with him. He’s my best friend. My companion. My father. My brother. My son. My play mate. My touch mate. My cute mate. I miss the jovial acts in him. Ever since this incidence started, he has refused to take me back as a friend . He no longer call me in the morning. He no longer call me pet names. I am now like a total stranger to him. He isn’t close to me again. He now sees me as a monster. Please how can I bring him closer to me? I went to the extreme of taking actions that has landed me into trouble. Yes. He explained his reasons for not coming home. I know that it’s because of his state of finances and all. But it’s still not easy being without someone you cherish so much and have lived with. I am so into him. Yes, when it all happened, I didn’t take things easy with him. I said hurtful words to him. It doesn’t mean that I am not a wife material. I am. It’s just that my weakness is my cross. And I know that he has tolerated me a lot. I am not stubborn. I am not mad. I am not violent. I have learnt a lot. I have learnt my lesson. Please don’t hurt me the more. I am sick. I can’t walk well. I am short of blood. Because each time I stand or walk, I feel like I’m just going to fall soon. I am really sorry. Please. My head is aching. My tummy is hurting. I am feeling pain all over. I feel that I am just about to lose him. Yes my mouth got me into trouble. And I know that. He brought our mothers into this very matter. That means it has really gone beyond his power. Please cover my weakness. I can’t afford to do the things we usually do together. I want him. And I need him so badly. If he leaves me or distance himself from me, I might do something silly to myself. I don’t want to be called his ex. I have been called someone else’s ex. I do not want to be called his. I want him because he’s the bone of my bone and the flesh of my flesh. I take away every form of pride and arrogance. Please accept my apology. My heart is bleeding. My heart is crying day by day. I have been advised by my mother never to be rude to a man again most especially to him. I am becoming lean because I have no appetite. I have lost my appetite for food. Okay. Let’s assume that he wants me to pay seriously for my deeds, but he shouldn’t go too far on me. I am losing hope already. I am weary already. Everyday I wake up, I feel like I am dreaming. I am so lonely. I can’t work this journey all alone. I wish him the very best. I never wish to see him go through pain. Yes! I overreacted. But I am promising him that it will never happen again. I still feel pains all over my body. I am not saying he’s the cause. Please don’t get me wrong. He has done nothing. I just need him to show me love. I wake up every day still thinking that I’m dreaming. I have really learnt a lot from him. He really built me to be an independent woman. My mother loves him. My father is not excluded. My siblings are also involved. They are all looking forward to the day he will put that ring on my finger. He changed a lot of things in me. He changed my life completely. Each time I think of him, my heart beats wrongly. I am dying. I am about to do something terrible to myself. I can’t love any other person like him. He made me a full grown woman. I’m looking womanly right now. If he leaves me now, I’m going to miss him so much. His face. His sweet hands. Please come back to me love. I love you so much. He gives me food when I am hungry. He clothes me whenever am naked. Whenever am sick, he gives me the best care. Whenever I am so occupied with house chores, he gives me an helping hand. With him, I’m just a girl that needs to be loved. I love him so much. Please accept me back as your sister and as your better half. Source: http://hergists.com/my-man-is-tired-of-my-attitude/ |
