UNIFORM EGO: HOW TO DRIVE THAT EGO DOWN


           UNIFORM EGO: HOW TO DRIVE THAT EGO DOWN

“Don’t do what you wouldn’t feel comfortable reading about in the newspaper the next day”. John 
Weston

Peace be upon you.

Today’s post is dedicated to military and Para-military officials who in the discharge of their duties fail to follow the rules of engagement. They become inconsiderate and carry on their duties with a character of uppity and disdain for others not in their folk. The UNIFORM gives them the aura of invincibility and importance devoid of accountability and decorum.

In Nigeria, there is no doubt that Uniform men are the principal law breakers. The break traffic rules at random, they intimidate you on the road through extortion. They involve in human trafficking, armed robbery and collaborate with high criminals as we have witnessed with many examples as in the case of the Billionaire kidnapper “Evans”.
Our problem in Nigeria has a behavioral dimension. Odd political behaviour, odd economic behaviour, odd religious behaviour, reckless driving behaviour and the UNIFORM men are not left out in this oddity of strange behaviours.


One final word, antagonizing people alienates you. Adding value to others adds value to you. Use your job to be a blessing others and you will realize that the job has been a blessing to you. When you use the job to be a curse to others you will equally discover that the job has been a curse to you. The mind that coordinates the activities of violence can coordinate the activities of cooperation.
 


We must not strive for safety at the expense of other people’s safety or project our expenditures at the expense of another person’s budget.

Peace be with you.

Rising Africa: A Narrative of Hope. By Chibu Ndubuisi

                                                                                      Rising Africa: A Narrative of Hope                                           07/08/2017 By Chibu Ndubuisi Peace be with you. In the year 2000, The Economist magazine called Africa "the hopeless continent" hence I am presenting a  narrative of hope about  "Our Rising Africa". The story of Africa is not about hunger,poverty, famine,war,  corruption,  tyranny, dictatorship,  terrorism,  child marriage,  genitial mutiliation, unfavourable inheritance laws for women, advance fee fraud, kidnapping,  ineffectual bureaucracy,  failure of leadership, workers not paid their salaries, sexual offences against children, genocide,  poor infrastructures,  diseases etc.i want to present a narrative of work in progress in African countries and how hope is been given back to people who once had "paradise lost". In their book, Execution: the Discipline of Getting Things Done(2002), aut

RESIST ARREST

                                                        RESIST ARREST                                                   CHIBU NDUBUISI 08/2017 Peace be to you. To resist anything requires knowledge and courage not to give in or yield to antics of entanglement. Captivity stifles and limits.  Captivity is not only when you are holed up in a physical place, it is more than that.  Some have developed  life patterns that resist unhealthy, unproductive and needless distractions which stares at us on a daily basis, by the choices they made, they resisted arrest. while some just flow with the current passively and are arrested by ldeas that have fractured the world.  Eighty two(82) Chibok girls were released from captivity by Boko Haram terrorist organisation in a prisoner swap deal yesterday(7/5/2017). The negotiating teams had a noble obligation of  making sure that no matter the provocations, human life matters.   That human life must be protected and provided for at all cost. They

CURSED OR THE CAUSE.A LESSON IN MISCALCULATION AND MISADVENTURE.   (1) C (2018)                     CHIBU NDUBUISI                           02/04/2018     WEEK 14 “Be careful what you pray for because you may get it and regret”              Peace be upon you. As part of the electioneering jingle repertoire of former Governor of Anambra State Peter Obi, who kicked off his campaign by waxing philosophical in 2003, by posing two questions to the electorate, he asked; are we Cursed or are we the Curse in Anambra state? Taking into account the plunder and pillage the state has been subjected to by political gladiators with the connections to abduct a sitting Governor (Chris Ngige) and the support of the central government.   For many months, teachers were not paid their salaries during the era of Mbadiniju, who turned from an elected Governor to elected evangelist; he absconded and displayed negligence of the duty of statecraft of fashioning good policies, to declarin
