Career / Re: My Junior Colleague Was Handed Over To By My Boss In Her Absence. What Do I Do? by sameehunter11: 7:34am On May 15, 2017
Not sure what kind of organisation you work in...unfortunately, leadership is not always decided by years of experience in an organisation (rightly so). That junior guy might be on a different career path and he is being groomed for a management position based on his attributes. I'll advice you don't take this personally, it might not have been done as slight to you.

Dude, i hope you collecting the 2000 Euros is a joke, 'cause what your boss has done is not a criminal offence, worst case he'd get fired for professional conduct violations. What you have done in collecting that cash is blackmail. do you know how dangerous that is? when they tender evidence...you have evidence he had sex in the office and they have evidence you collected money to keep quiet. if she says the payment was under duress of exposure how do you explain yourself?!

Nice move if only it makes any sense....anyone bother to know what the requirements are?

might as well just request a regular VISA and save yourself the trouble, besides it only caters for the people who usually have no trouble getting Nigerian Visas in the first place.

Foreign Affairs / The Problem With Transparency International’s Corruption Perceptions Index by sameehunter11: 10:46am On Feb 13, 2017
Interesting read....for when discussing Nigeria's position

http://journal-neo.org/2017/02/13/the-problem-with-transparency-internationals-corruption-perceptions-index/

Transparency International puts out what it calls the “Corruption Perceptions Index.” It is an annual index it claims “has been widely credited with putting the issue of corruption on the international policy agenda.”

These carefully selected words, taken at face value appear benign, even progressive. But upon digging deeper into this organisation’s background it becomes clear that these “perceptions” are politically motivated, and the “international policy agenda” clearly favours a very specific region of the globe, particularly that region occupied by Washington, London and Brussels.

Transparency International claims upon its “Who We Are” page of its website that (our emphasis):

From villages in rural India to the corridors of power in Brussels, Transparency International gives voice to the victims and witnesses of corruption. We work together with governments, businesses and citizens to stop the abuse of power, bribery and secret deals. As a global movement with one vision, we want a world free of corruption. Through chapters in more than 100 countries and an international secretariat in Berlin, we are leading the fight against corruption to turn this vision into reality.

Before moving onto the organisation’s funding and financials, one would assume that above and beyond any other organisation in the world, Transparency International would carefully and diligently avoid any perceptions of conflicts of interest on its own part. Yet, not surprisingly, that isn’t the case.

An Anti-Corruption Org Swimming in Conflicts of Interest

Upon their page, “Who Supports Us,” Transparency International admits that it receives funding from government agencies including:

The United Kingdom’s Department for International Development (DFID);
Federal Foreign Office, Germany and;
The US State Department.
Transparency International not only receives funding from the very governments it is tasked to investigate, hold accountable and “index” annually, constituting a major conflict of interest, it also receives money from the following:
The National Endowment for Democracy;
Open Society Institute Foundation and;
Shell Oil.

Other troubling sponsors dot Transparency International’s funding disclosure, but the inclusion of immense corporate interests like energy giant Shell, is particularly troubling.
So is the inclusion of the National Endowment for Democracy whose board of directors is chaired by representatives from other large corporations and financial institutions as well as partisan political figures involved heavily in not only influencing politics in their own respective nations, but who use the National Endowment for Democracy itself as a means to influence other nations.While these interests are transparently self-serving, the use of the National Endowment for Democracy allows them to predicate their involvement in the political affairs and elections of foreign nations upon “democracy promotion.” This seems to be the very essence of corruption, “abuse of power” and “secret deals,” yet they are funding Transparency International’s very existence.
Open Society in turn, is the sociopolitical fund employed by convicted financial criminal George Soros. The New York Times in its article, “French court upholds Soros conviction,” reported that:
The conviction of George Soros, the billionaire investor and former fund manager, on insider trading charges was upheld on Thursday by a French appeals court, which rejected his argument that his investment in a French bank in 1988 was not based on confidential information.

Soros, 74, now retired from money management but active as a philanthropist and author, was ordered to pay a fine of €2.2 million, or $2.9 million, representing the money made by funds he managed from an investment in Société Générale. He said the purchase had been part of a strategy to invest in a group of companies that had been privatized by the French government.

Were it not for the very serious impact Transparency International’s false perception globally as a reputable corruption watchdog has on nations targeted by its CPI reports, it would be almost comical that this so-called anti-corruption organisation is funded by not only the very governments it is supposed to be objectively detached from, but also funded by convicted criminals like Soros and organisations like the National Endowment for Democracy well known for their use of “democracy promotion” as cover in pursuit of their own self-serving interests.

Thus it is clear, that even at face value, Transparency International likewise serves as just such cover, but instead of hiding behind “democracy promotion” to advance what is a very specific, political agenda, it is hiding behind “fighting corruption.”

And even if impropriety wasn’t so blatant, Transparency International’s lack of better judgement regarding its funding and conflicts of interest discredit it as a legitimate corruption watchdog.

For nations around the world pressured by Transparency International and its CPI reports, dismissing them with this evidence in hand, as well as devising domestic (and credible) anti-corruption watchdogs as alternatives would be particularly useful.

Special interests using Transparency International to target and undermine nations and governments they seek to influence or coerce is not limited only to this organisation, but is a pattern repeated over and over again, from the National Endowment for Democracy’s Freedom House “Freedom in the World” index, to reports published by Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International, US-European special interests have honed this craft of using just causes as cover for corruption and coercion into a fine art.

Foreign Affairs / Do Black Americans Hate Donald Trump? by sameehunter11: 3:57pm On Nov 09, 2016
I listened to someone on CNN voice passionately on how to explain to his kids that Trump won. How a repulsive, bigot, foulmouthed unprepared bully became the president elect. #whitelash
I am black; don't live in the US so maybe that’s why I can't comprehend where all the fear is coming from. Perhaps I can get a bit of help from the folks out there.
Now that 'majority' of the American people decided on Trump, perhaps they'd rather buy into his ideology or they couldn't find it in their heart to vote Hillary. What next?
Obamacare? As an outsider, I don't understand this, but the number of Americans I have spoken to have always seemed a bit negative about it...perhaps I know too many 'white males'
#blacklivesmatter: Is the US expecting new laws under a Hillary administration that is going to make the police look on black people more like full human beings instead of target practice boards? I’d like to understand how either of the two candidates was going to make black lives matter more than it does now. Cause I don’t think you can legislate ‘like’ but you can enforce ‘respect’ though. Perhaps that’s why Hillary was so much desirable?
What have the black people of America gotten from the democratic administration and what is it about Trump that they detest so much.
Recently, spent a bit of time down in Florida, perhaps it’s me but the blacks I have met there 'hate' the fact that more people now speak Spanish than English, they complain that the Mexican/Latino immigrants have taken over their states even their jobs. So I would assume whatever Trump rhetoric’s on Mexican illegal immigrants, that'd be a plus for black Americans. Perhaps that’s why Trump why won in Florida?
As for racism, I get discriminated against more by the American blacks than white people (my Africo accent makes me a sub-standard blackman, an illegal immigrant and most likely a leech) and I get treated as such.
Perhaps it's his treatment of women? That is totally unjustifiable but thought black people would relate more to him on that level. I mean, we are the worst offenders when it comes to objectifying women, we coined hoes, baby mamas etc., our role models are defined by how much money they have and how they roll (the cars, the bling’s and the bi**&es they pull), we even give thumbs up to the PIMPs, the quintessential Blackman in the gaudy clothes that sells his 'girlfriends' on the side and keeps them in line through violence.
So pardon me if I feel it’s a bit hypocritical for black people to condemn Trump for his words and possible actions (let the law deal with his actions) and take his words as words. As played out in the voting, white males already passed it off as ‘locker room talk’ and still voted him.
So where does that leave us? Illegal immigration? It is always difficult to make people accept others. force them at your own peril, it is a nationalistic thing and it didn’t start in the US, it has been building gradually through the western world and it will continue to build, trust me...Brexit and the US won't be the last of people rebelling due to what they perceive as an infiltration of their way of life by people they don't like.
No matter how much name calling, 'dumb, stupid, uninformed, hate filled etc.' people still have emotions that can be appealed to and they will act out based on their emotions, even if we the ‘informed and righteous’ know better and try to tell them different. It’s just human nature, the same way we cannot comprehend how ‘stupid and hateful’ they are for their actions it’s the same incredulous way they’ll probably look at our actions too.
I am sure I have missed a lot of things, even lost the plot of the write-up. but I still need someone to help break it down for me....why do Black Americans hate Trump so much and why is his election a disaster of worldwide proportions?
PS: I am not going to touch on the Muslim, terrorism angle. Too complex. But then if that's it, I’d like to be educated.
Also I haven’t even considered that maybe I am wrong, and Black Americans do like Trump and that’s why he won.  
