Why The ANC Must Give Up On Ramaphosa To Save South Africa

Why The ANC Must Give Up On Ramaphosa To Save South Africa

December 26, 2022 2:10 am

A saying goes thus; when a man hides a rotting sore, he has determined to rot and die along with it. South Africa and its ruling party, the African National Congress (ANC) seem ready to die with the rotting sore that is Cyril Ramaphosa.

South Africa’s President Cyril Ramaphosa is like a black sheep walking about in the daylight when a hunt for him is on, but he is surrounded by other thoughtless sheep who have decided to shield him with their lives.

Ramaphosa survived an impeachment attempt by South Africa’s national assembly on the 13th of December 2022. Opposition …

New York Learning Hub: Risk Management In The 21st Century

December 26, 2022 2:08 am
The word ‘risk’ has a negative connotation in the business world. It’s seen as something to be avoided, whereas some people would prefer to take a gamble and hope for success. However, that mindset doesn’t work in the long run. Instead of avoiding risks by making decisions quickly without thinking through all possible outcomes, you need effective risk management software (RMS) tools that will help you identify key risks early on before they become crises—and provide solutions when they do occur.
With good risk management software (RMS), you can identify, manage and report risks in a way that is consistent

New York Learning Hub Understanding Strategy Formulation

New York Learning Hub: Understanding Strategy Formulation

December 26, 2022 2:02 am

Strategy formulation is particularly vital in an era when technology has introduced rapid change in many industries. You can’t afford to rely on thinking that worked yesterday or even last week. You must consider the future, and how new technologies and customer expectations will affect your business.

But with the speed of technological change, it’s hard to know what to expect. You have to make assumptions about where the market is headed, but it’s not possible to know for sure whether those assumptions are correct. And you won’t find out if you’re wrong until too late, because the world around …

Understanding Quantitative And Qualitative Data Analyses

December 22, 2022 1:06 am

Introduction

 

Quantitative and qualitative data analyses are methods used to study and analyse data. These two terms are often confused, but they’re actually quite different from each other. Quantitative data analysis aims to quantify the data collected, while qualitative data analysis examines the non-numeric information. In this article, we’ll explore how you can use these two methods together when conducting an in-depth business research project.

Definition

According to Prof. MarkAnthony Nze, Quantitative research is used to calculate statistical values for the data collected. It’s a large part of any scientific or academic field, where it allows scientists to …

US-Africa Leaders’ Summit

US-Africa Leaders’ Summit: Africa Must Define What She Wants

December 21, 2022 11:49 pm

The United States clearly understands what it wants from the African continent, but the million-dollar question is whether or not Africa has been able to reach conclusions on what it wants from the United States. Contrary to widely held opinions, what the US wants from Africa is not democracy and until Africa understands this, her ignorant indecisiveness will continue and the continent will remain a perpetual loser.

A fortnight ago, the President Joe Biden-led government of the United States of America (USA) extended invitations to African leaders to what it described as the ‘U.S.- Africa Leaders’ Summit’. On face value, …

Nigerian Politicians, Elites, Out To Keep Nigerians Poor

Nigerian Politicians, Elites, Out To Keep Nigerians Poor

December 21, 2022 11:43 pm

Practically everyone that holds any political power in Nigeria as the President, Governor, Local Government Chairman, Legislator, Minister, State Commissioner, Councillor, board member of any parastatal or government-owned organisation, or political party official, is in a conspiracy against citizens of Nigeria.

Elite consensus in Nigeria is actually an elite conspiracy against the interest of the poor masses. It’s the most cunning scheme to convert the commonwealth of the country to the advantage of a few.

The elites have also weaponised poverty against the people. Many people will recall that during the 2021 COVID-19 lockdown, the Nigerian political elite, not …

Osinbajo Must Take A Stand And End The Cowardice

Osinbajo Must Take A Stand And End The Cowardice

December 21, 2022 11:31 pm

Cowardice, when rightly understood begins with selfishness and often ends with shame. Cowardice is not something noblemen should be found exhibiting because while trying to flee from one’s fear, it has been discovered that they eventually run into it.

Ever since he lost in the primaries of the All Progressives Congress (APC), the Vice President of Nigeria, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo has since chosen the path of silence and lack of interest in political discussions. While this has been described by some of his sympathisers as political correctness and sophistry, what he has actually done is to prove to Nigerians that …

Understanding Strategic Planning In Contemporary Times

Leveraging Strategic Change Cycle In Business

December 19, 2022 6:19 am

The strategy change cycle is a five-step process that enables an organisation to determine the type of leadership preparation needed and plan staff training activities. The cycle consists of five steps: needs assessment, design, implementation, monitoring and evaluation, and adjustment actions. When used in conjunction with other strategies, it can help organisations prepare for future strategic changes and respond effectively when they occur.

Step 1: Needs assessment

This step is critical because it determines the type of strategy change required by an organisation. For example, the focus should be on the design phase if the goal is to start new …

Top Roguish Nigerian Politicians Masquerading As Saints

Top Roguish Nigerian Politicians Masquerading As Saints

December 19, 2022 4:30 am

Nigerian politicians are the perfect definition of wolves in sheep’s clothing. Despite being some of the filthiest, most corrupt humans on the planet, they never stop making efforts to pass themselves off as saints who should be emulated as role models by Nigerians and even other African leaders.

These are men who routinely steal public funds, flout court orders, resist court summons, and use their ill-gotten wealth to dribble their way back to power and influence. None of them is looking out for the country nor are they bothered about the damage they are doing to the present and future …

Doctors Fleeing Nigeria, A Ticking Time Bomb

Doctors Fleeing Nigeria, A Ticking Time Bomb

December 19, 2022 4:26 am

From all indications, it appears there is fire on the Nigerian mountain. Sadly, this fire is not particularly getting the attention it deserves because presently, Nigerians are engrossed in the euphoria and frenzy of political activities. Nigeria is presently witnessing one of the biggest brain drain ever experienced in the African continent and the leaders and citizens alike appear unbothered by this ticking time bomb.

It is difficult to come across any profession in Nigeria that is not currently losing its best brains. With every passing day, countries in Europe, Asia, North America, and the like are opening up new …

Religious Fanaticism The Bane of Nigeria's Development

Religious Fanaticism: The Bane of Nigeria’s Development

December 19, 2022 4:04 am

It has been over a century since the geographical expression called Nigeria was birthed. But sadly, it is almost impossible to pinpoint the course of development or direction it has crafted for itself to follow. Despite living for more than six decades as an independent country, Nigerians have not been able to enjoy Nigeria as it is supposed to be.

From its inception till date, Nigeria has hardly enjoyed internal peace having been faced with perennial crises of state or territorial legitimacy, all of which have remained heavy stumbling blocks as far as its effort at national cohesion, stability, democratisation, …
