Be kind to others

Sun, 11 Dec 2022

‘Clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness.’ Colossians 3:12

When you get up in the morning, you must not only clothe yourself physically but spiritually and emotionally as well. As we gear ourselves up mentally, we all too often are choosing an attitude from a wardrobe of possibilities. Will we deck ourselves in the glamour of smiles or the serious tone of a frown? Now you might think that when you’re kind, people will constantly take advantage of you. That may sometimes happen, but here are two reasons to be kind:

(1) ‘For it is by grace you have been saved.’ (Ephesians 2:8 NIV) Grace and kindness always go together. Poet Robert Burns said, ‘The heart that is generous and kind most resembles God.’

(2) If you want people to be kind to you and treat you right, take Jesus’ advice; ‘Do to others what you would have them do to you.’ (Matthew 7:12 NIV) If you are rude, people are going to be rude to you. But if you are kind, most people will desire to respond the same way.

‘Be kind and honest and you will live a long life; others will respect you and treat you fairly.’ (Proverbs 21:21 GNT) And here is another reason to be kind: ‘Your own soul is nourished when you are kind; it is destroyed when you are cruel.’ (Proverbs 11:17 TLB) When you are kind to others, you are obeying God. ‘As God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience.’ (Colossians 3:12 NIV)

Try living that way every day!

Hello guys abeg am using this Nokia 6.1 when I bought I was convinced it was 4g but I went home only to find h+ on the status bar and it showing 4g in settings but isn't it showing on the status bar

God picked him call, him put am for hands-free abi loudspeaker

Great! Madam U came out strong, some of us are actually product of what we pass through. The truth is some situations are stepping stones, human being eh, U can only see the face.

Exactly. Thank God U were smart,our line manager was a greedy type that wants all gud things to himself, inflated quotation X2 we gave him and won't inform you until during meeting with top management before he will enter DM wen U innocently tell them what U sent via email, It's easy to retain a gud staff than rehire. The way organisations wants the best for themselves so also employees. It's that simple.

U are right; Field staff needs free hand, most top management are opportunists who don't value staff that give their best. They rather use the staff results to take glory. Then line manager asked me to trained ma replacement which wasn't part of ma job as there was dept that but ended up showing me clearly he wanted using me. He ended up bad mouthing me in ma new organisation but time revealed who he was cos I was told. Me I don't asslick.

It's now history for some of us, took HR a week before acknowledging the resignation, though our Boss then called within 24hrs of the news and asked what's it, knowing fully well countless times staff complain of pay, useless processes and over micromanaging, monkey dey work baboon dey chop, no growth. Toxic work environment should be avoided like plague. Top MGT themselves won't hesitate to leave ooo if given opportunity cos of the no future of the place they rendered yet don't want U to leave.

Most times to retain a staff is better than hiring new one, it's what they often pretend not to know, both employees and employers wants to grow

Alusiizizi:
If the OP is giving correct information then I'm afraid that the banks will have no choice than to make more use of in-house developers and pay them more. Any new guys that they hire in the future will simply do exactly what the others are doing now, so in the end it will actually prove cheaper to use in-house developers.

U are right

thebosstrevor1:
Alarmists news.

Let's be realistic

the problem in the IT department of most banks is being understaffed and developers working over time.

To blow your mind, most of the developers working with banks only do maintenance, the real development of financial applications are outsourced.

Chai, the earlier one earns in good currency the better, Dollars today 710 who knows E go reach 1K

This one no be new thing na... Zenith Bank alone, almost 40% of their staff don japa, that was the reason for their recent network glitches. By August ending another wave we fly out.

The rate at which most of our brilliant young mind the japa I really fear for the future of my dear country. Maybe Somalia will soon be better than us

True

Krak:
This cuts across many sectors including Health sector. Many professionals are leaving the country in droves.

According to Leadership Newspaper

The mass resignation of software engineers in most commercial banks across the country for greener’s pasture abroad, is currently threatening digitisation in the banking sector, LEADERSHIP can exclusively reveal.

This is coming as a disincentive to the cashless banking initiative, where every banking transaction is expected to be digitised. However, the development is obstructing seamless operation of electronic and mobile banking systems across banks.

It was learnt that about 500 software engineers have, since the beginning of this year, till now, secured better offers abroad, majorly in Canada and European countries where the emolument far outweighs what they are being paid in the Nigerian banking sector as they are paid in foreign currency at a time the nation’s Naira has seriously depreciated.



Aside these 500 engineers, about 1,000 other staff have so far resigned their appointments in deposit money banks to pick up juicy offers abroad, even as there are indications that more engineers and bank staff will also join them in the months ahead as the nation’s economy becomes harsher and operating environment becomes unbearable.

The development has disrupted the succession plan of many banks as more bank staff seek greener pastures outside the country.



This mass exodus, investigation shows, was responsible for hitches in electronic and mobile banking operations of most banks in the country as they struggle to find suitable replacements for those that have left their services.
Complaints from bank customers on electronic and mobile banking platforms have intensified in recent months, making it obvious, the challenges facing the banking system.

Over the last few months, thousands of Nigerians have moved out of the country either as students or have gotten jobs outside the country.

These have affected most industries across the economy but the banking industry is beginning to feel the brunt of it. The situation has gotten so bad that it came up as an issue for discussion at the Bankers’ Committee meeting which held in April this year.

For example, a major bank in the country, having noticed the trend of resignations, had earlier moved up its promotion process as a way to encourage the staff to remain. The bank had even increased its package for the workers and promoted 450 staff. Unfortunately, less than two weeks after the promotion, over 150 of those promoted resigned and left the country.

With no bank spared the exodus of talents, the bank chief executives had resorted to finding a solution to the brain drain by coming together to train more staff for their depleting human resource.

Managing director and chief executive of Sterling Bank, Abubakar Sulieman, at the end of the Bankers Committee meeting in April this year had noted that banks in the country will be collaborating with the Chartered Institute of Bankers of Nigeria (CIBN) to increase training particularly in the software engineering area.

Sulieman affirming that the issue had come up at the Bankers Committee, said: “we extensively discussed the impact of the great resignation, where with so many of varied experience talent, especially in the areas of software engineering, either leaving the industry or leaving the country.”

Thus, he said, the banks had committed to using industry platform, the CIBN, to drive the process of training more skills in the areas where there has been evident deficit.

This, he said, is “in the hope that this would improve the availability of talent within the banking sector to drive innovation. This will be funded by the industry and will be part of our contribution towards talent development.

Speaking with LEADERSHIP at the weekend on this development, president of CIBN, Mr. Ken Opara noted that, the industry is currently suffering from talent drain.

According to him, “this year alone, there is a whole lot of resignations and people leaving the industry particularly the younger ones. The figure is quite high.

The CIBN President, Mr. Ken Opara had noted that the talent drain in the sector is “basically because they feel that they need an environment where they can guarantee their job security and have a flexible working environment and also the fact that you don’t need to always dress officially to do your job, you don’t need to wear suit or tie. Where you don’t necessarily need to be in the office to do your job and can work remotely. The concept of remote working is what appeals to them.

“The concept of flexible working hours where you can work in one place and in other places is also what appeals to them. The concept of having to dress casual is also part of what appeals to them.

Then of course the fact that they don’t need to be in a particular place for a long period of time as much as possible.”

For the Information and Communication sector, the story is not so different as a lot of tech developers are either leaving Nigeria in search for ICT job that pays better or working remotely, LEADERSHIP findings have revealed.

Recruiting in the tech industry is on the rise, with foreign companies reporting they are hiring “at or beyond pre-pandemic levels,” the Robert Half Technology’s 2022 IT salary report revealed.

The most in-demand tech jobs for 2022 are Information security analyst, security analysts, Software developer, Network and computer systems administrator, Computer programmer, web developer, Computer and information systems manager and system analyst, among others, said CIO.

The managing director and CEO, eStream Network, Martins Akingba, told LEADERSHIP Newspaper that brain drain is a major challenge in the ICT sector, as a lot of developers have migrated to other countries in search of greener pastures.

However, the CEO said majority of business owners have decided to go into automation. “We implement processes on systems that automate our operations, such that even when people go, it will not disrupt our business,” he explained.

Though, there is no statistic that revealed tech workers’ migration, the President of Institute of Software Practitioners of Nigeria (ISPON), Mr. Chinenye Mba-Uzoukwu, told LEADERSHIP that there is a trend in recent times.

The reason for that is not far-fetched, Mba-Uzoukwu said, adding that, most institutions in Nigeria have not fully deployed local solutions to local problems. Majority of the IT-enabled organisations in the country still depend on foreign countries for solutions.

When asked if there are software developers to meet the needs of organisations in the country, Mba-Uzoukwu said: “Nigeria as a country is blessed with great software developers. We have programmers who have come up with several solutions to our local problems, but organizations sometimes don’t patronise them, as they prefer to import solutions or software from China and other countries.”

Banks’ Senior Staff Lament Redundancy

President and founder of Royal FM 95.1Mhz Ilorin, Engr. Gbenga Adebayo, at the 5th Students Union leadership Summit of Kwara State University, said, it will be difficult to talk about a better Nigeria without considering the negative impact of mass migration of youthful population on the economy and its future.

Adebayo said migration may imposes high human capital cost for the country by leaving the country without the human capital necessary to achieve long-term economic growth.

He revealed that the migration problem is due to lack of employment and social guarantees on the young population and not due to any political persecution.

“The most negative impact on our country is the fact that young graduates (and our highly skilled professionals) leave the country for better opportunities. Today many of our engineers, IT specialists, doctors, nurses, engineers, and very brilliant professionals are lost to other countries,” he added.

Adebayo said, Nigeria has great potentials, adding that, “we are blessed with many natural resources, we are free of many natural disasters, a large proportion of our population are young people an age bracket that mist of you in this hall belong to, if you JAPA the country will rely on foreigners for needed skills in the future.

Peter Obi (Okwute) the best man to move this country to our dream country, he is competent, young, business man and technocrat though not an average Nigerian politician but he can always adjust and work with them, look at some African countries with less Human and natural resources are far better. Nigerians are talented and hardworking yet the current politicians render the youths almost hopeless, we need someone that can work on investment opportunities, fix Economy, Agriculture, Security, Natural resources, Minerals, Infrastructures and keep us technologically ahead, let's come together as youths and vote who believes in our capacity irrespective of region and make us productive not just consumers. Enough of all those old men, we want to grow
