Nigeria Shall Rise Again!

Hello Nigeria!

For the past 3 days, when I learned you’ll be 62, an age for retirement, I’ve had a series of thoughts going through my mind.

The retirement age is the point at which someone stops working, especially because of having reached a particular age.

As in the case of Nigeria Instead of saying Happy independence, why not say happy retirement age?

Instead of getting better like old wine, you’ve become even more confused like an old fool.

Kidnapping, banditry, cattle rustling, interethnic/religious crises, insurgency & unemployment has been soaring in multitudes!

How far 9ja?

You’re once the giant of Africa! A caring mother to South Africa during the apartheid, a loving stepmom to Ghana & a proud land to all Nigerians!!!

A country that was once filled with honey and milk.

A nation where job once awaits graduates & offers a juicy package for its children!

But today, bad leadership, corruption, nepotism, Godfatherism, and tribalism are the order of the day!

What’s gone wrong 9ja?

On our part, we’ve been evil followers, greedy and saboteurs, bad neighbours & intolerant of each other!

Nothing matters to us as long as it does not affect us or our family even if it’s to the detriment of others.

Nigeria at 62 is a time for sober reflection, let’s sit and discuss our difference! Let’s sit and pray for our country! Let’s sit and embrace each other!

It’s time to move ahead with great love and patriotism!

There’s no time than now!

Let’s build the Nigeria of our dream and make it great.

Let’s make it a home we can all be proud of!

To you my dearly beloved nation, 62 is the age to renew your commitment to us!

We love💚 you dearly and we can’t afford to lose you!!!

Happy Independence Motherland.

With love from
Ibrahim Danbatta, Ph.D

    The Flag bleeds with tears of help,
    We asked if the sun will rise again,
    With hope we shall continue to fight,
    The colour and her beauty,
    It shall prevail again.

    Beautiful piece Dr.

Communication is Key: How Improving Workplace Communication Drives Employee Performance

Image
  Abubakar Ibrahim, Ph.D Communication is the backbone of any successful organisation. It allows the free flow of ideas, supports team bonding, builds trust, and ultimately drives success. Employee performance may suffer when communication is missing. Lack of clarity of message often leads to misunderstanding, confusion, and most times, missed deadlines. On the contrary, when there is a free flow of information, employee performance soars. Open dialogues, clear expectations and regular feedback can help employees feel engaged and empowered. It helps them to understand their job roles better and feel confident in discharging their duties. As professionals, it is important to understand the power of communication in the workplace. Managers must make it a priority to create and maintain open lines of communication that will foster a culture of collaboration and transparency. Here are ways managers can use communication to improve the performance of their employees: 1. Clear expectations:
