A NO READING GENERATION

 There are a group of people in my clime that do not read anything.

When I started this Blog, I used to summarize the content in not more than six words while sharing and I noticed that the few who cared to read, read only the summary and went away.

Break all four legs of the table?

YES.

All children born, post 1978, did not attend any schools. A majority of them fall within the transition period from Generation Next to the Millennials. There is an old maxim that states, "if you want to hide anything from Africans, put it in a book". The present massive educational facilities notwithstanding, the schools are only producing half literates which are worse than illiterates.

Consequent upon the above, which is closely tied to the process through which they were educated, they are incapable of Logical arguments not to talk of Reasonable arguments. In any discussion with them, after two sentences, they introduce insults due to lack of Capacity for Logical and/or Reasonable arguments.

Their reading habit is, they read the first half of your introduction sentence and go to town to spread incomplete information based on ethnicity or religion modulated by sentiments. For example, recently a lawyer friend of mine, said there are universities that offer B.Sc. in Law, but when I told him certainly not National Open University of Nigeria (NOUN), he said unless that.

For the over 360 posts on this Blog, I have had less than 15 reactions. This low reaction has nothing to do with the infallibility of my ideas, rather with the incapacity to read serious matters put out there that sre not directly tied to making money immediately. I do not believe that my posts are so correct that nobody can raise a voice even very weak to say, old doy, this is not entirely correct.

Recently, I asked 21 pastors to tell me with bible reference where God called a husband and his wife. Only one pastor came through to say, there is no where in the bible where God called both husband and wife simultaneously.

I dare say, Nigerians are the Smartest people on earth but we are suffering today because politically, we have always put forward our 22nd eleven. We make the best policies and plans but we have no political Will to executive them.

The best news I have heard in recent times is the statement by the Minister of Education to the effect that 18 years will be minimum age for admission to Universities in Nigeria. If the 6-3-3-4 education policy was implemented properly, there would have been no need for that statement provided children started school at age 6. I cannot forget how my daughter was refused admission into a Command Secondary School because she was under 12 years, infact, she was under 11 years. All my children got into Tertiary Institutions at age 16.


Next week, let us go back to core HR Management experiences. The new series shall be on "Communicating Interview Result'.

EMPLOYEE STEALING 7

 I worked in this particular company that pays terribly disproportionate Junior staff to Managerial salaries. My monthly salary was almost twice the salary of the five junior staff that worked with me. The above great disparity notwithstanding, one of the Clerk's secondary home was a beer parlour where he spent freely. A second junior staff on supervisory grade change his car twice in three years, while I the manager could not afford a single tyre of a car. These two staff, while one was in charge of purchasing, the second was in charge of processing the sales of scraps in the company.

WICKED MANAGEMENTS AND CALLOUS TRADE UNIONS 5

 As we conclude this Content on Wicked Managements and Callous Trade Unions, we shall share with you what should be done by both Management and Trade Union in protecting workers from unfair labour Practices. Last week, we identified some of the National Economic Challenges and the contributions of both Management and Trade Union to unfair labour Practices. The way out of Unfair Labour Practices falls on both the Management and the Trade Union. They are:- - Management and Trade Union must commit to adhering to the Codified Rules of Engagement. - Management shall not go out of the labour policies and procedures of the organisation. - There shall be no secrets in the management workers affairs. - Salaries, allowances and pensions must be paid as at when due (30 days cycle). - Workers shall be given fair hearing. - The Trade Union must be carried along on all issues of discipline and job loses. From the above, what comes out like we said previously, the Trade Unions unfair labour Pract...

HR MISTAKES BY YOURS TRULY 8

 I have a first degree in Sociology and Anthropology from the best university then in that discipline in Nigeria, the University of Benin, Benin City. During my undergraduate days, I decided not to earn naira on graduation, so when my course mates were rushing to major in Organizational Behaviour, I opted for Medical Sociology. I equally decided to go on to obtain a Masters Degree in Epidemiology so as to ensure that I work with either WHO or UNICEF where I would be paid in dollars. However, my university of choice was then being shut every other three months. This was against another decision of yours truly that I shall not spend more than 12 months for the masters program. At this point, I changed my mind to study Industrial Relations and Personnel Management at the best University then in that discipline in Nigeria, the University of Lagos, Akoka, Lagos. This major shift brought yours truly into a profession that it's major tenants contradict my major attitudes to life. Some of ...
