CUSTOMER SERVICE

Been busy this week. Hoping from bank to phone shop and what have you. And I got it slapped in my face in every business entity i was in that Nigerian businesses need to take customer service very seriously.


Employees expect you to cajole them to render a service they are paid for. Rudeness and non-chalance seem to be topping my list of bad qualities amongst business employees especially those that interface with customers.

They do not care about performing their jobs and I'm not even sure they are mindful of the fact that they are working for a business.

Another set of qualities top on my list again is incompetence and of course inefficiency. Perhaps the reason why they are rude is because they lack the skills or education to do a good job.

The trend of companies hiring unqualified people to fill certain positions is not admirable when it is clear that you need professionals in those roles. Why not hire professionals to do a professionals job? Effort should be made to hire the right and best men for the job.
Business employees have forgotten the first rule of business which says the customer is always right and that adequate attention should be paid to every customer.

Some people even tell you "it's not even my job, I'm just doing it",  when you are working for a business?

When you express concern over poor satisfaction of services rendered, they become defensive,argumentative or even insulting.

The beginning of the downfall of any business is employees misbehaving. They are not scared of the loss of their jobs neither do they know the impact performance has on a business. I blame it on little or poor education.

FREE LEAH SHARIBU!

My heart bleeds as I write this. I'm literally weeping as I pen this down but I know that there is hope. The existence of God tells me so. It's been over a year since this girl was abducted alongside her school mates but while others were freed, Leah Sharibu remains in custody for refusing to denounce her faith and convert forcefully to Islam, the religion of the dreaded boko haram sect. What bothers me is the silence of the Muslim community and powerful leaders across the world on this matter. What I don't understand is why people cannot call a spade a spade. Why cannot they come out to speak out against mindless religious radicalism , oppression and persecution of Christians all over the world? What efforts have been made to free Leah Sharibu and others like her still in captivity? How long will this continue?  I think it's a decision world leaders need to make on the benefits of Islam to mankind. Honestly speaking,  world over the only people guilty of terroism are...

THE FIGHT AGAINST CORRUPTION IN THIS GOVERNMENT: REAL OR SELECTIVE

President Muhammadu Buhari's selling point coming into the 2015 general elections was his would-be fight against corruption which many Nigerians said was Nigeria's biggest problem and which the international community also said was Nigeria's bane of development. His reelection in 2019 also echoed the same thing although many Nigerians were of course saying they had seen his true colours. In this government's fight against corruption, so much has been witnessed. There have been several convictions of high profile politicians but only people not at the core of the government or those who do not share the same religion with the president. Many embarrassing cases have been swept under the carpet like those of the former secretary to the government of the federation, the reinclusion of a wanted former government official (who was answering for his crimes as ex pensions boss) in this government,  most recently the appointment of a former politician who was tried in court for...

LOVE IS OVERRATED

We often mistake lust for love and many people mistake infatuation for true love. So many people preach that if you are no longer happy in a marriage then you should just call it quits. How about telling people to remember what made them happy in the first place and work on getting back to that place. A man wakes up in the morning and tells his wife he wants a divorce because he has fallen in love with someone else even when children are involved. The fact that you once proposed marriage to a person means you once considered her above every woman, how then do you discover years into the marriage that you love another? Especially after having kids. You probably have seen a slimmer woman or a pretty face or a sexy woman and concluded that you now have a new love. The desire for something new is not usually love but an attraction which can be classified as lust or infatuation. Any time you put your new flame above your children, then you know that you are deep in lust. Sex is an integra...
