ABUSE

Be very clear when it starts ; STOP IT.
Some people think that only minors can be abused. Young people and adults are also being abused especially in the workplace.
Most people keep quiet  about it because most times the abuse is perpetrated by a boss or superior.

The subject of the abuse is oftentimes innocent and pure and is shamed into keeping quiet because he or she feels embarrassed or because she doesn't want to tell on her boss.
But abuse especially if not reported and dealt with can have a negative impact on an individuals feeling of self worth and self esteem. Abuse can be detrimental to the health of the victim.
Steps to take;
Report the abuse to an authority who has the power to deal with the perpetrator usually a human resources manager.

If not dealt with because of a connivance between the HR and the perpetrator,  bypass the HR department and report straight to the MD. The matter should be taken up from there.
Also confide in a trusted friend or counsellor outside the office.

Remember, your state of mind, health and general well being is instrumental to your growth, productivity and personal success.
Abuse is a breach of relationship and moral contract.

The powers that be would not surrender without a fight and they have the resources of the government on their side. They would claim that the protesters wanted to topple a “democratically elected” president. And that would make it illegal. And what is democratic about a president who has refused to listen to the cries of the people?In their short memory however, they have forgotten that this same president came into power for the first time in 1985 after a coup...

THE GAINS AND LOSSES OF THE ABSENCE OF MR PRESIDENT: BY UWAKWE ROLAND.

President Muhammadu Buhari has been absent from duty since the last few months on a purported medical checkup in London. Good a thing he legally transferred power to the Vice President who is now the acting President, this is unlike the imbroglio that played out during Yar’adua’s time when the National Assembly had to invoke the doctrine of necessity so as to effectively transfer power to then Vice President Goodluck Jonathan. The problem is that even as an acting President, Yemi Osinbanjo has limited powers to fully assume responsibility as the commander in chief, this is because most of the big government functionaries may still owe their loyalty to Mr President, couple with this, Buhari appointed people of his like minds who may not comfortably work with the acting President that will want to bring his knowledge of law and practice into governance. Hence the long absence of Mr President may eventually result to a slow down of democratic dividends. The above ...
