We have two female NYSC corps members serving in our Office.
One is very friendly. She greets everyone, gets along with the staff, and people genuinely enjoy working with her.
The other can be quite rude. Staff members complain about her attitude regularly.
They’ll be passing out soon, and our boss asked HR to evaluate them because he wants to retain only one person.
The rude one is exceptionally smart. She joined the marketing department and has already closed a deal, while the friendly one is still learning and trying to figure out the job.
If they retain the rude one, she’ll likely produce great results, but her attitude is a major concern.
HR asked everyone for their opinion. Out of 10 staff members, 8 said they shouldn’t retain her. One person even volunteered to train the friendly one. 😂
Character is everything.

You must understand that many are in her position who are not smart enough to know what to do & maximize the opportunity they have. So don’t belittle her smartness and hard work cos she has a solid foundation.
The first thing Singapore did was to educate its people.
This journey is not even going to be long.
Nigerians are already very smart people.
Give quality primary and secondary education.
Bring in companies that can employ thousands of people.
Set them up in several states. See this mining situation. Get a hold of it and make it a very formal sector.
Allow the people who want to sell Akara and other things access to soft loans. Create a structure with every bank to help them be accountable. Like a credit score.
Fix electricity.
If it’s too hard to change all the lines, create solar plants for different clusters while you take a few years to fix power lines to be efficient.
Step by step, country will be better.
I don’t know why we don’t have a leader that wants to do this.
It’s not rocket science.
