The Weeping Lecturer

In the morning, the heavens opened and it began to rain. Bella grabbed her umbrella to get to school, as she walked out of the hostel the first

The magic alert

"It's a lie! I have received alert, it's N33,000," corps member Jane alarmed. Once it involves money human being must stay awake. Mama of the family house, Mary, helped to scream excitedly.  "A...lert, A...lert," all of us woke up that morning. I looked at my watch, the time was 3am. "What an obstruction from my beautiful sleep. I needed to sleep very well ahead of early in the morning. I knew I had been missed and I also missed my students," "You have succeeded in waking us up," I said abruptly.

I was excited at the increments.  Though I

was yet to receive alert. I knew that my bank, Access bank is very good in delay of payment of allowee. But surely I must be paid, due to their incompetency so I needed not to worry. If Federal had my interest at heart, they should hold it to pay in arrears when the money would be used to implement invaluable projects.

"Nigeria has done corpers well. I hail you Buhari. In fact, you are going for the second tenure," Corpers praised President Mohammed Buhari.

Why are we even praising government, when we know that the sitting allowance of Senators are nothing to be compared with this, why are we praising him that much," one of the Corps members said. But we are not greedy, we appreciate the little increments—N13,000 increment is not a peanut money," the other said from her corner.  Different talks that I could barely recognize where it was coming from. But the  fact remained that we are now corpers with swags, earning like some local government workers.

It is quite unfortunate that Nigeria is still corrupt. When I thought everything was alright, another unimaginable came. Nigeria I wish Nigeria would grow up in a minute. See this...

Things you should expect when you connect with your spot

Get out of the rat race. After all, if you win, you will simply be the big rat. Stop running in the competition. The only person you should compete with is yourself. "how well am I performing in my leadership spot," is what you should ask yourself. You have to know that the battery does not compete with a spark plug, because the battery knows the spark plug can never be a battery, and so on. They sit in the engine in their spots and serve the engine their gift without competing

Why does negative behaviour continue?

It works. There is some kind of payoff, some type of momentary satisfaction that is derived from not changing. The reward might be financial or psychological. Some people will continue unproductive behaviour to seek approval, acceptance, praise, or love. Others continue their unacceptable actions out of pride, greed or a sense of personal fulfilment. They may oppress others with their need to always be right because they treasure being right- even if it destroys a relationship.

Adding value to other people is the work of a positive influencer

As you move up to the higher levels of influence and become an active influencer, you can begin to have a positive influence on people and add value on their lives. That's true for any positive influencer. The baby-sitter who reads to the child encourages him to love books and helps him become a lifelong learner. The teacher who puts his faith, confidence, and love on a child helps the child to feel valued and good about herself. That boss who delegates to the employees and gives them authority as well as responsibility enlarges their horizons and empowers them to become better workers and people. Even the parents who know how to give their children grace and when to, also help them to stay open and communicative. All of these people add lasting value to the lives of other people. One thing is this, we don't know what kind of influence you have on others, today as you read this article. Your actions may touch the lives of thousands of people. Perhaps you use the opportunity
