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.

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 ...

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...

RAPE, ITS JUSTIFICATION AND VICTIM SHAMING

It's sad that this is a world where things are not perfect but isn't that why we have laws; to correct the ills in society? I read today on a blog about a filmmaker who said that "nonviolent rape" should be legalized and that the reason rapists were raping girls was because they were sexually frustrated and that girls should accept it and even prepare themselves for it by carrying condoms and cooperating with their rapists. In fact it is clear that civilization is beyond running water and having flushable toilets, a lot of minds are still in a dark place. Before you join the number of people condemning him, think of how you shame victims of rape by suggesting that somehow they did something to provoke the animal instinct in the rapist. The dust hasn't settled yet on the case of Busola Dakolo and Biodun Fatoyinbo where an Abuja high court struck out the case and called an abuse of court processes and said it was statue barred. They were irregularities as cited by ...
