The Nigerian senators where caught on tape covered by NTA announcing a suspected money being sent to the members to enjoy their holiday.

When his attention was brought to the notice camera was still live, the senate President, Godwill Akpabio quickly withdraw his statement.

"A little token has been sent to your accounts by the clerk to enjoy your holiday" his statement.

He quietly rephrased it to be another issue entirely.

Looking at this thread, it made me thinking of something and ask the question?
Had this been the norm since the eighties or 90's? Or it became a standardised norm in the 2000s with Obasanjo's democracy coming

This has been going on for a long time. That is why many qualified graduates from modest family are not gainfully employed. They just can't have the opportunity to contribute their intelligence to the society on a national level.

As a masters degree holder with experience in hospitality and other industry, if I manage to get job in a government agency related to my field of study, I believe that the agency will turn around within a short time. But how on earth will I get that kind of opportunity when I don't have a God-father or mother?

The truth is that this is the exact truth about federal character commsion and IPPS. I was suppose to be lecturing in one of the university in Nigeria as graduate assistant but because I couldn't pay the sum of 300, 000naira. That job eluded me. This is exactly why the country remains undeveloped and backward.
The country we live in is in a big mess. The poor who have worked so hard and deserve to be given the opportunity to contribute their own quarter to national development don't because they don't have the money to bribe their way.

Nothing good come easily. We are closer to greatness this time than ever.

We can't go back to the burdern of subsidy when we have dying Infrastructure and out-of-school children to cater for.

We only need little patience but people are not ready to give it.

Little patience for what to happen? For the government to share 8,000naira to families or what? This is the same patience Buhari asked us to exercise when Nigerians were suffering from Naira redesign now what benefit did Nigerian get from such useless action? Why is this country like this eh?? Why is it that majority of Nigerians are so use to suffering that we now assume it is a norm?

I think the word passion is abstract especially in a third world country like ours engrossed in poverty.

It's hard for someone who's poor to search within them looking for passion.

At this stage people have very low IQs. There's a reason why poor countries are hardly innovative.

You have to fight poverty first. Instead of passion, what I'd say is discipline and commitment.

Just pick up something and devote time, no matter how little, for it.

Newnas:
You look like an example of what the OP is saying.

The OP is talking about employers and senior colleagues who request things that are out of job description from their employees and reports. But you turned it around on the employee's head.

People like you don't believe employees have rights. You believe you're doing them a favour by hiring them. Well, this kind of mentality only thrives where your jobs require little or no specialized skills. Employers who have tried this nonsense with specialists know how much it has affected their company. In many cases, such companies DIE.

When talent resigns from your company and you spend up to six months searching and sacking before finding a good replace, body go tell you.

My dear leave that young man. Because people have the grace to start up business they now assume that they are demi gods. As a manager, I treat my staff with Love and respect because I value their output on a daily basis. Though that does not mean i tolerate any kind of breach in company policy.

EDIT

I see a lot of comments talking about how (Nigerian) employees like to complain and how employees should either endure the dehumanisation at their work place or resign.

Obviously, many of you have a slavery mentality. When you're poor, you practice self-deprecation in the hopes of getting rich someday so that you can also enslave others as you've been enslaved when you're poor.

This is a jungle mindset. A mindset of the stronger takes all. No sense of justice, equity, humanity in you. Watch NatGeo Wild and come and tell me the difference between you and the animals you see there.

Participants include the president-general of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Chief Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu and the chairman of the South-East Governors Forum, Governor Hope Uzodinma.

The first move would be to release Nnamdi Kalu after reaching some kind of agreement with him.. The next would be to engage the youths. There are countless no of graduates in the South East region wasting. No job, no tangible business. All they do is to while away time because no money to start business and no tangible skill to augment their certiticate. So skill acquisition is very important. Most so, the south eastern governors need to stop being selfish and greedy. They should stop looting allocations meant for developing their states.

I don't actually know where this administration quick measures are going to. What is obvious is that there is hunger in the street. People are slumping and dying on the streets as a result of hardship. Since the president is putting up this quick suppose measures of revitalizing the economy, he should also quickly put up measures that will alleviate the poverty in the land. Anyone on Nairaland with good info on how to benefit from the schemes should share with us. Kindly send me link or a mail I will greatly appreciate. Urgent intervention needed.

Why this Peter Obi guy mumu like this?
You get 3rd position for something, but you say na you get first.

Even if them rerun this election a billion times, that mumu man go still come 3rd.

The foolish Dumbo cannot come first or second in an election where Tinubu and Atiku are contesting. It doesn't work like that anywhere in the world.
These guys have been playing this game at the highest level for 30+ years. Suddenly, one Onitsha main market trader whom Ojukwu imposed on his people thinks he's politically sagacious enough to outsmart them.

The greatest thing that happened to Nigeria this first six months was the fact that this empty man came 3rd.

Very empty, useless, lying cretin

You call the whole election thing a game but you don't know that the outcome determines everything in the country. It determines the well being of the people and the security of lives and properties. You prefer that you ethnic and religious bigotry be serviced other than having a good leader place Nigeria among the enviable nations of the world. God have mercy on you and on people with your mindset.

Nonso92:
As the topic suggests, let's hear it.
Also, colleagues who had office romance with other colleagues, how is it going, how did it end?

Don't ever try it. As a boss, engaging in office romance will run your business and reputation down. I recall when a staff accused me of having an affair with another junior staff. When the matter got to the top management of the company, they called my other subordinates to know if the accusation was true and they said I don't have such time to date anyone. That was how God vindicated me. If I was having an affair for real, it would have casted and at the same end, I would be disgraced. It is good as a boss to have a professional relationship with subordinates and colleague to avoid scandals.

I hope my story will motivate someone to take charge of their life.
I lost my job last year July, and so a friend of mine introduce me to a poultry farm where I am earning 22k per month.

A man with wife and two kids o, my wife was not happy with the job even though she has been supportive in her own little way. And then, she suggested that I should learn handwork, and so I decided to learn welder.

On getting to the man, he told me I will spend 2 years o, I will pay 70k to learn from him. Me way I no get even 20k, I begged him to collect 50k and he agreed.

Then he asked me to make part payment of 30k. I went home and told my wife, and then she gave me 20k to give to the man. I gave the man 20k and he collected it, to my greatest surprise within 2 months I started doing the welding job perfectly.

On my own, I have paid up the remaining 30k with small small repairs job he allowed me to be doing for people. And by God's grace, I have started saving up for my tools.

I really thank my wife for the advice and the welder too. The man has been a tremendous blessing to me in many way. He even told me yesterday that with the look of things I may be free from him in 2 months time except I decided to still remain with him for a while.

Please take charge of your life and stop depending on people for survival.

You have a good wife. Most women will quarrel with you for the attempt to learn hand work. They will ask you how you want to be taking care of the family while doing the welding training. You don't know what you have as a wife. Treasure her very well.

Career › Fast Food And Eatery Business Is Still A Good Venture With Good Management. by WorkaholicB(op): 5:46am On May 12, 2023

Fast food and Eatery Business is still a good venture. Despite the economic downturn in the country, everyone can accept the fact that man must wack. That makes fast food business a good venture to embark on..
With a good location, and the right human resources to handle this great investment in a matter of months, the returns will throw in.

Actually, this is no magic. But it is quite realiseable.
As an investor seeking to hit it big in a fast food industry, you don't need to come out with an experimental mindset. All you need is to come out with a success mentality.

Because not every investor can manage this venture, you will need a good manager to pilot the affairs for you.

Managers come in different shape and size but you need one with good reputation and the passion to serve the public good food..

You need a manager who can manage the facility in terms of maintenance,
One who can manage the staff in every department despite their temperament and tribe,
A manager who can give account of every penny that enters the company via monthly financial report, daily sales and cash analysis.

You need a manager who have good relationship skill with both you the investor, vendors and the public at large..

Most especially, you need a manager with the track record.

Having noted all this, feel free to mail me for a good managerial service.

I write with a heart full of resentment. This is because despite all the effort I placed on self development and discipline, nothing to show for it.
I am 35years of age, married with 3kids and a masters degree holder. I work as a manager in a big fast food in South South Nigeria with a good managerial skill and results yet I live like a pauper. The salary is not upto 80,000 yet I work from 8am-9pm every day. My effort gives company millions every month yet they are stingy to give a good pay. There is no time to do another business. Now my house rent has expired and I cannot boost of 20,000naira in my account. So I ask, what is the essence of hard work when there seem to be no tangible benefit. I really need out but how do I do that when I have family to cater for. I cannot afford to be out of job for even a month. Please I need advice. What should I do?
