From Stingy Aunts to Grown-Up Realities: Unraveling Childhood Misconceptions

  By Godwin Akawu Likeh  Childhood perceptions often have a humorous way of shaping our understanding of the world around us. Remember those moments when we believed our uncles and aunts were stingy, tight-fisted beings who refused to share their treasures? Fast forward to adulthood, and we find ourselves facing the same financial challenges, realizing that our perceptions were far from the truth. As we navigate through the complexities of adult life, we begin to appreciate the burdens and responsibilities our elders were juggling, shedding light on the reasons behind their seemingly stingy behavior. Childhood memories are dotted with gatherings where we eagerly await the generosity of our aunts and uncles, only to be met with a sense of disappointment. They seemed reluctant to part with their money, often giving us token amounts or practical gifts that paled in comparison to the lavish toys and treats we longed for. Our innocent minds labeled them as stingy, failing to unders...

Reflections of Self: What Do You See in the Mirror?

By Godwin Akawu Likeh  In a world constantly bombarded by external influences, societal expectations, and the pressures of conformity, the simple act of looking in the mirror can become a profound exercise in self-discovery and introspection. Beyond the reflection staring back at you lies a journey of identity, self-acceptance, and the search for authenticity.

Our reflections serve as a canvas upon which the story of our lives is painted. But what do we truly see? Is it a clear reflection of who we are, or is it clouded by the perceptions and judgments of others?

Communication is Key: How Improving Workplace Communication Drives Employee Performance

  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.
