 Has your coin only one side? Yes, if you say domestic violence is only physical and against women.

 This week I am taking a break from discussing pervasive ignorance in HR Management, to give myself an assignment that will run for a while year. The assignment is to identify Old and New words in HR Management that have almost the same meaning. To drive home the point, here are some examples:- - Succession Planning Vs Talent Mgt. - Abandonment of duty Vs Absconding - Internal Consultant Vs HR Business Partner. By the last week of April, 2023, I will share with you what I have found. Connections, friends, please assist by putting your thoughts on the blog or send same to me via my E-mail, sam@samo.com.ng

 Characterless politicians or their supporters, which is the real problem of Nigeria? Supporters of Characterless politicians.

 More of the drivers of the pervasive ignorance in HR Management in my clime also include the following:- - Aping. - Unstructured and continuous learning. - Refusal to share experience. - Self promotion. - Lip service. - Refusal to question the status quo. In the 1990s at Apapa Personnel Practitioners Consultative Association, we devoted a lot of time to experience sharing under Industrial Relations/Labour News. Infact towards the end of the year, we were informed of what companies were offering their staff as end of the package. Again a lot of the vacancies that appeared in Newspapers, we new in advance. You increase knowledge by sharing.

 What is the major thing lacking among the ruling elite in Nigeria? They lack CHARACTER.

 Several factors are responsible for the pervasive ignorance in HR Management practice in my clime. Some of these drivers are:- - Impatience. - Refusal to read. - Nepotism. - Employer management. - Being far from the table. - Seeking approval of others. - etc, etc, etc. On impatience, I met a young lady on Facebook who pleaded for assistance and I appealed to a friend who is a Group Admin. of job vacancies platform to add her, which he did. I was surprised that she exited the platform after 4 weeks. When I asked why, she said, she could not secure a job. Imagine the fresher.

 Why is Nigeria here today? Leaders ruling by Injustice and without the fear of God.
