A country the size and resources as Nigeria that experiences a NATIONAL POWER GRID Collapse is a huge joke!
It's a new level of mediocrity and offers very little hope of any meaningful advancement.
Singapore generates electricity from trash!
Trash!
Tiping your office security N1k for buying your lunch, is not you doing him a favour. He earned it. If e easy, stand up from your seat and go get the food yourself. Calculate the financial cost of the stress of going the distance to get the food and back.
If you want to do him a favour, give him money for no reason. Someone would do you a favour, but you would see yourslf as the one doing them a favour because you earn higher than them and don't respect them.
If you send money to your colleague that does the same work with you and asked them to please get you lunch on their way back from wherever they were going, you see it as them doing you a favour because you respect them. You don't see it as a favour done to you when it is done by the office security or cleaner because you don't respect them. If you treat these people well and respect them, they will be happy to do things for you. You've become entitled to their help that you now expect them to use their money to fund your lunch.
My security does errands for me, and every errand comes with a tip. That is thank you for doing this because it is not his job. Favour is when I give him money for no reason which happens often or when he has special needs and makes a request and I give him money. You need to start respecting people as human beings, not by how much they earn. This thing is a common problem in our society.
Africa Is One Market, But Not for Africans
Africa has been treated as one big market for foreign goods, but Africans have been discouraged from treating Africa as one market for ourselves. The same people who tell us continental trade is too complicated have no problem moving their own products across our borders.
They want access to Africa’s market, but they do not want Africa to trade freely with itself. Because an Africa that trades with itself is an Africa that becomes stronger, more independent, and less dependent on foreign imports.
So when you see foreign products everywhere across the continent, while African products remain trapped inside their own countries, understand what you are looking at. Dependency by design.
@eberedannyboy@FrankFrank50833@Osmoses_1 You are only able to make a judgment call on talent by looking at the talent backed output…
So, yes! Messi is more talented than the listed.
Perhaps they could’ve done more in exact circumstances as Messi, but we’ll never know now, would we?
This CR7’s wage is crazy.
If I had a say at Al Nassr, in addition to playing for us, he’d do tiktok challenges, water the pitches, collaborate with the janitors, and serve in the club kitchen!
But, God, am I a chandelier?😭😀
Now if you look closely, you’d see this problem is deeper than just the cashiers.
IF this price inflations are intentional, you wonder how they get access to the excess money added to the items.
Do the managers just release the difference to them?
Do they reconcile sales x inventories with a fine tooth comb?
Can someone give some insight into this?
I experienced what @Sisi_Yemmie has been saying here on the TL today!
I was coming back from an outing and decided to get a few items from Bokku Mart.
I bought only 3 items. The attendant asked if I wanted a nylon bag and I said yes.
He said the bag was #100. But why did he deduct #1700 for the nylon?
I didn’t check the receipt until I got into the car, then I remembered and decided to check.
I went back inside and asked what the #1700 was for. He said it was an error and that I had to wait for the supervisor to fix it!
This pissed me off! He could simply have given me my change instead of making me wait for their error.
Apparently the supervisor was in on it too. He came out and quickly asked the guy to give me my change.
I can’t imagine how long this has been going on! @bokkumart, call your staff to order.
Business owners, please be very involved in your business and don’t trust any staff.
#1700 is not a lot of money but imagine doing this to 5-10 customers a day!
Let’s scrutinize that move.
Doesn’t it tell you something about the breakdown in the security architecture?
So if crazy stuff start happening at our borders for example, we’re gonna set up border guards?
We keep bandaging the wound, while the infection spreads.
This isn’t gonna work.
Look at the state of the road on which that Adelabu’s Sister was kidnapped.
We have fed the fires of our current travails.
Nobody is coming to save us.
May they, and all other captive Nigerians, make it out safe and sound.
I’m tired.
