Thinking of Quitting Your Job Because Of Your Difficult Boss? Wait A Minute - These Tips Can Help People don't leave their jobs, they leave their managers - Margie Warrell Okay, I felt really terrible last week Friday, the same day I co-incidentally published my article on MonkeyPox (https://shegzsablezs.blogspot.com.ng/2017/10/one-thing-you-probably-might-not-know.html). I was completely overwhelmed with these constant maltreatment and dehumanizing behavior that I could not take it anymore. I had some minutes alone and I was seriously considering the option of getting a transfer to another branch. Perhaps, I am not alone in my plight, new research has found that being overworked is not the reason people leave their jobs. A Danish study of 4,500 public service workers has provided credence to the adage that “ people don't leave their jobs, they leave their managers. ”  According to psychologist Matias Brødsgaard Grynderup, one of the researchers behind t...

YOUTH PARTICIPATION IN THE DEMOCRATIC PROCESS IN AFRICA Africa is the poorest continent on planet earth, an estimated 75% of its total population wallow in abject poverty. This chronic situation is compounded by the fact that the continent is plagued with corrupt, selfish and self-centered leaders who see power as a means to an end and something that can be used to imperialize and neo-colonize others [mostly, their opposition and critics} to their advantage. These set of corrupt politicians who are mostly in their later years would do anything and everything to hold on to power without paying attention to their health concern. A good example is the Former Nigerian President, Late Alhaji Musa Yar'Adua who died in power on the 5 th of May, 2010 after a long fight with Cancer without publicly declaring that he was medically unfit for the needs of the office. In Nigeria for instance, youths dominate the entertainment and sport sectors and the country is doing excellently w...

WHO ARE YOU? HOW DO YOU THINK? On the 4 th of July, 2015 (the first Saturday in the month of July), I had the opportunity to meet some great people from the United Kingdom. At an event that was hosted by the British Council tagged “ Study in the UK Education Exhibition 2015 ”. This wonderful event was held in the Lantala Hall of the Eko Hotel & Suites. It had in attendance, quite a number of Universities from the United Kingdom with a handful of delegates and some of their study materials to show prospective students a bit of how it is like to study in England. These Universities were offering a wide range of Undergraduate and Postgraduate courses in various disciplines. They also had scholarships, employment opportunities and other programs specifically designed for overseas students but that is not why I chose to write about the event. Today’s topic was adopted from the opening lecture at the UK Exhibition and it was delivered by a Senior Lecturer, Mr. Amritt Flo...

              LIFE AND THE ESSENCE OF LIVING (PART 2) “ Love is the essence of life. Without love, life does not make any sense .” - Debasish Mridha On Sunday evening, I was preparing for the first full working week in October when I heard the news that one of my neighbors lost her life during child-birth. I still do not have the full details of the unfortunate incident but I learnt that she died as a result of complications resulting from childbirth. I also heard that she lost an unprecedented amount of blood and she could not survive, she also lost her new born baby in the tragic event. For starters, we are not close in any way; I only got to know her name after her death because I do not have a lot of friends in the neighborhood. I stay indoors for most of my weekends and spend quality time with my family members, watch CNN, football matches and movies on my laptop; that is if I do not have planned engagements in that particular week...

October 11: Let’s Join the Fight against Rape The International  day of the Girl Child is a day set aside by the United Nations to better the lot of the female child. On December 19, 2011, the United Nations General Assembly adopted Resolution 66/170 to declare the 11th of October as the International Day of the Girl Child, to recognize girls’ rights and the unique challenges girls face around the world. You would agree with me that one of the main problems facing the female child is Rape.  The UNICEF statistics puts rape on top of the list of sexual assaults and it is also the most common type of domestic and physical violence against underage girls. Condemnably, the issue of rape in Nigeria today has become an everyday crime and Nigerians and the International community has continued to raise eyebrows over the crime. In just two months, over 100 rape cases were recorded in Kano but the embarrassing situation is not limited to the northern part of the country alon...

The Las Vegas Massacre: Gun Violence in the United States In the evening of Monday, October 2nd, I was on the bed reading a book titled; "Possessed" by the Former Governorship Aspirant of Lagos state, Olasupo Shasore SAN when I received a message from my younger brother on WhatsApp. I followed the link and could not believe what had happened in Las Vegas the previous day. At least 59 people have been killed and 527 injured in the deadliest mass shooting in modern US history. The victims so far identified included an off-duty Las Vegas policeman, a San Diego lawyer, and three Canadians. Police have named Stephen Paddock, a 64-year-old retired accountant from Mesquite, Nevada, as the gunman. Police found an arsenal of 42 firearms, explosives and thousands of ammunition rounds in both his Las Vegas hotel room and Mesquite home. Experts believe an accessory known as a bump-stock was probably used in the attack. It modifies a semi-automatic weapon to fire at an automatic r...
