This past week...

I just noticed that almost everyone in my office is either itchy,acting frustrated or just nursing a wound under their skin.Have you ever worked in an environment where there is so much animosity that you literally feel it?If not,then welcome to my world!.You know I keep asking why anyone should blame anyone for his/her situation in life.I am personally of the school of thought that celebrates taking responsibilty for oneself:your actions and circumstances!.Life has different shades and for God's sakes everyone must at one time or another see these different shades.If it was all green or purple once upon a time,then be sure to welcome black and blue times too.

A colleague of mine would walk into the office wearing this long face you would think this  dear colleague of mine just hit a trailer!.This same person would let off vibes on FB,(thank God for Facebook,at least you can rant there!)dissing the company and the bosses,calling them mediocres...hahaha,chei!.Why would you remain in a place where the people who lead you are mediocres?If mediocres are bossing you around,what does it make you?Your guess is as good as mine.If you are working in a place you genuinely believe is below your standards,the sanest thing to do for your beloved self is to move away quickly so that the "mediocres" don't rob you of the A-Class left in you.Don't frustrate yourself and others showing face in that same place every working day acting coy.Nobody should have any excuse to stick around medoicres.Why overburden your dear heart with so much animosity?Why suffer yourself so terribly because you wouldn't tell yourself the truth?Why severe your relationship with your maker because of misplaced judgement which you have no right to?Free youself from the spirit of mediocrity,stop hating anybody for your "predicaament".Afterall you accepted and signed your employment letter!.

Be the champion,take a bow now that the ovation is loudest!Why blame others?

The Empowered woman

I think being a woman,I mean a real woman is one of the hardest things ever!. You won't agree with this only if you are not a woman,but if you are a woman,then congratulations to you.You are a mysterious being but then again this congratulation goes to the 'real woman'. The real woman is that person that makes everything difficult seem easy.She is a hard worker,faithful friend and partner,a good manager,a home maker,a lover,a confidant,a mother,a sister,a daughter,a visioneer...Someone,may say,"Yea, ok...I'm not a mother or I'm single and so does that make me not a real woman?Of course not!. Age,class,status,beauty or achievements do not define a real woman,but character does. I can't but wonder at the stories we hear these days about women.I marvel at the rate of evil perpetuated by women in our society.Prostitution is old wives tale but when women are involved in armed robbery,kidnappings,terrorism,gang rape,adultery,fraud to mention a few,then by a...

The Career Woman

I stumbled upon this beautiful article on IFP while researching on other stuff and thought to share it. It's a 4 minutes read. I totally agree with it. Gender equality seems to be the one issue that isn't going away. Many of us like to believe sexism is something that only plagued the workplaces of yesteryear, but unfortunately it still exists. Don't believe us? Well, in 2016 just 57% of the world's  working-age women  were in employment, compared to 70% of their male counterparts. And even the females who were in work were struggling to catch up with the men. Women with  full-time jobs  still earn only about 77% of their male counterparts' earnings. Of course, the issue is complex and many expect that because most countries have made it illegal to pay women less than men, that gender inequality has fixed itself. However, problems surrounding  unconscious bias , parental leave, and outdated stereotypes about gender roles persist in the workplace. But what are th...

Domestic Voilence in Nigeria heightens in the face of economic hardship-majority of victims are women!

A recent Public Opinion poll conducted by NOIPolls Limited in partnership with Project Alert on domestic violence has revealed an increasing prevalence of domestic violence across Nigeria in recent times as reported by about 8 in 10 (78 percent) respondents. This prevalence is highest in the South-West geo-political zone (86 percent) and lowest in the South-South zone (70 percent). More findings revealed that 54 percent of Nigerians have suffered a form of domestic violence or know someone that has experienced domestic violence in their homes with majority of the victims being women as stated by 75 percent of respondents. Just this week, a man in Aba Abia state allegedly beat his wife into coma for lying to him that she has not been paid her salary after commissioner for finance Obinna Oriaku mis-informed the Abia public on radio that civil servants salary arrears have been paid.
