On my way to work today I met a long time friend whom I’ve not seen in a while, upon exchanging pleasantries there was no joy from all he told me, it’s was all about one hardship to another. The camels back was broken early this week with the recent fuel increment, now he can’t make it to work due to the high cost in transportation as he’ll end up spending all his pay on transportation alone.

He has always been paid his salary, something above the approved minimum wage, but the Nigerian private business owners who pays their workers almost in the middle of the current month for job done in the previous month.

As I was already going to work, I hurriedly gave him some words of encouragement and scheduled a meet so we could talk properly, maybe I can be of help to him.

This issue occupied my thought all day as I imagined what it feels like for someone who has a job but couldn’t cope to meetup due the recent economic realities, now, talk more of someone who has little to no job, how will the person survive these times, what is the fate of such a person.

This led me to come up with ways organizations and businesses of employers of labor can help its employees. Since this hike in prices of commodities has come to stay, I think there should be :

1 - Rotation/ Shift system of working; it’s true that there is inflation and companies are not ready to increase its employees pay, not even the government is ready for such. In other to help employees, a shift system of work can be adopted. Employ more people, place them on the same salary and reduce the number of days of coming to the office to 2 or 3 times in a week. This will help employees save better and complain less.

2 - Adopt Remote system of working; some employees are mandated to come to the office on a daily basis and end up doing in the office what they can actually do from home. I understand that organization most time mandates staff to be physically present in the office to checkmate laxity and unseriousness. There are ways to always checkmate these without the employee being in the office. This system of working was tested during the Covid period and some organizations adopted and perfected on it and it’s working for them, both in cost savings and revenue generation. Unfortunately another Covid is here again in another disguise.

3 - Staff Bus; believe you me that there will be rise in the punctuality of employees to work in these recent times as compared to the past because most people in the bid to save cost will trek a while before boarding a cab to their office. Even those who own cars have resorted to boarding public transport. This will only render the employee tired upon getting to the office and will always impact in the output performance of such person. Imagine trekking a reasonable distance everyday only to get to the office exhausted and tired, how will one give his/her 100% at work coupled with the thought of another trekking at close of work. Staff bus will immediately put to rest this issue for good. As the saying goes, A happy employee is a productive employee.

4 - Staff Accommodation; organizations can provide accommodations for staff, even if it’s not rent free but at a subsidized rate where it’s staff can afford to stay and be okay. Especially for the ones coming from a far distance. Some staff can stay in this apartment on week days and go home to their families on weekends as the case may be.
Just last week I heard of a staff who wanted to be redeployed/reposted to an office closer to his house due to the amount he spends on transport daily, which is different from his feeding, talk more of upkeep and other costs, all these expenses on a merger salary at the end of the month.

The above are just a few ideas on how organizations both government and private can adopt to help salvage the hardship of the masses in these trying times.

Truth is that people are angry and hungry at the same time which is not good for anyone and any business. The prevalence of crime is going to be on the high side because hunger alone is enough to push even the most gentle of all into taking another persons food.

Dear op

Everyone here knows that you won’t heed to the advices, you yourself knows this and unfortunately even that your babe knows this too that’s why she’s toying with you. Her mother is finishing you off with emotional blackmail.

This is not the first or second time you’re seeking advise on this your babe’s issue. Sorry to inform you that you’re fully roped in and it will only take that girl leaving you to clear your eyes. You said you cried abi, you never see anything. Kindly accept my sympathy.

Regardless, I’ll still dare you to try to leave for the sake of your job, peace and mental health. Delete all those screenshots cos I know you have lots. Looking at them will do more damages and hinder your growth.

I really hope you’d pull through and intact to share your near-miss story.

Good day good people.

I am a graduate of industrial chemistry from a state university. I have 5 years experience in banking, currently in sales and marketing unit. I have carefully studied the 189 occupation list and can’t seem to find anything related to banking.

Please gurus in the house, do I still have a chance of applying and what can I do?

Thank you

Pls help my confused state.

I got an email yesterday that I have assessment at UBA bank at marina,Lagos. I already left Lagos for my bro's wedding at abj.
The assessment is to hold Fri by 2pm while the wedding is Saturday.
Pls what do u guys suggest i should do

Come back and take your assessment, you can take night/evening bus to Abj if the wedding is that important to you, if not your brother and wife will still be there after wedding weather you're employed or not. It's your life in question here not wedding.

Besides who wedding help. It's not even your own wedding. Your bro and wife better employ you after the wedding if you miss your assessment.

tolexy007:
get your pvc

And vote for who

Please do not let distance and T-fare deter you. One of the things to lookout for in jobs is better prospects and personal development. If the new job can offer both of these, take it. Distance and comfortability is just but a price to pay for more better things to come via the job in no distant time.

And that was how Dollar dropped from 360 to 182.

MhizAJ:


You can help her in getting a new phone if you have more than enough

There's nothing there

She's over demanding doesn't mean she's not a nice girl or she doesn't have good characters

Asking for money might just be her weak point

Madam you're just contradicting yourself. Over demanding is part of character and a very bad one. Don't be too sentimental.

The site is just confusing. Most options not opening.

Hello Okoya, I sent you a mail, please reply. Your assistance will be highly appreciated. Thank you

You will soon regret your life if you go ahead to marry that guy. Your family members adviced you to go ahead with the wedding because of the money they're to benefit but wait, when the troubles and trauma of cheating continues on the marriage, will they also benefit from it, what if after marriage and the money is no where to be found anymore, it still doesn't take away the cheating on the man, and when he does, what will your family advice you to fall back on. I guess there won't be money for your consolation.

One thing about human beings is that once they've done something, they'll do it again. During dating he slept with three(3) of your friends, that's disrespectful and he bragged on it to his friends. Let me tell you why he did that, for someone as wealthy as he is, he expects you to remain loyal to him because of the money, he thinks he can do anything he likes without any whisper from you that's why he didn't cheat with other girls but your friends to show people that you can't do anything cos of the money.

Now to you the lady, I still don't get the part where you said "you love your girls and you're not mad at them just your fiancee " does that mean that you knew all along or that's what you people do it that you where expecting them to do such to you because I don't get the reason why someone will be disrespected to this level and yet come out and say she loves the person without scolding and protecting your territory, future marriage and prospective family. Your friends ain't loyal and that says volumes about you too. Since the three knew that you're in a relationship with this guy an went ahead to sleep with him, what makes you think more of your friends won't go down with him after you guys are married.

For the guy, well for now you're at his Mercy cos he feels that he's the one with all the cards to play which is literally true, only the immaterial person can win this challenge unless the guy is totally changed but if he's not, I bet you that you're are looking at a time bomb of cheating waiting to explode. And your so called family members are not an exception because if he gets any opportunity with your sister, he's gonna sleep with her, brag about it and since the money is there, he'll expect you to remain loyal. I know he has begged and asked for forgiveness, but you've stayed with him, dated him and you know the kind of person he is more than us, so if he's the type that goes back to his poo after begging and asking for forgiveness then you're in deep trouble.

Possible solution. * teach your friends to be loyal and respectful or otherwise cut off all ties with them and choose the friends you keep.
* 95% of your happiness and life is at stake because a cheating boyfriend is a prospective cheating husband who is bound to bring home STD's nd STI and you'll be infected, so do not let money cloud your reasoning.
* Do not mind people asking you to continue with the wedding because when the problems starts, you're the only person who'll suffer the heat.
* if the guy is truly repentant of his actions, and not they type that commits offence, begs for forgiveness and goes back to commit same offence again then you should give him another chance. If not, I suggest you walk.

Money doesn't doesn't solve everything, and its not bound to stay forever. So if you're considering this matter on the perspective of money alone, you better think twice and don't let it cloud for reasoning.

I also pray you don't tow the line of what's trending Now in most marriages an murder the guy. This is something you can put a stop to now.

If you know what is good for both of you, you should just end up together. After turning you into a prospective time bomb now he wants to leave you, for who mbok.

I have been following this thread, abeg where was it stated that the form should be filled on 1st Dec, my own mail didn't say so but even yours did, why wait till 1st to fill the form. From my own view, since they sent the mail some days b4 1st, it implies that 1st Dec should be the dead line. My own view, maybe affected people should send the company a mail or call them for directives.

"And he took you for granted and you still forgave him " you were so much all over him that he became more than familiar with you, so nothing excites him about you anymore cos he has seen it all. You should have known that you guys were dating not married, so you should have reserved something's. I don't know why people don't learn, how can you date a guy for 10 years, well the mistake has been made already. Dust yourself up and move on. "the true character of a man comes alive when he gets money".
