Socialmedia Apps: Right Way For Business Positioning

Socialmedia Apps: Right Way For Business Positioning

By Onyeka Chiemelie

 

What we call madness sometimes is doing the same exact thing repeatedly and expecting a total, different result. It is like waiting for an aeroplane in a ship harbor. It will never happen.

The picture below this post is not in tandem with the subject of discussions but there is a vintage similarity.

People are usually like herds, going steeply into the ditch without questioning their habits, routine and modus operandi especially as regards business and lifestyle. It is what we do as a daily routine that eventually prelates success.

The crowd mentality is a terrible …

Germany's Far-Right AfD Makes Gains In State Elections

Germany’s Far-Right AfD Makes Gains In State Elections

October 27, 2019 8:16 pm

Alternative for Germany (AfD) party more than doubled its share of the vote but failed to become the largest party in the German state of Thuringia, in an election widely seen as a bellwether of the far-right party’s growing strength in its eastern heartlands.

The AfD overtook Chancellor Angela Merkel’s slumping Christian Democratic Union (CDU) to receive 24 percent of the vote, according to exit polls by public broadcaster ARD, finishing behind socialist Linke on 30 percent, which made history by becoming the first left-wing party to win a state election in reunified Germany.

Italian Right Hopes To Conquer Left Stronghold In Key Vote

October 27, 2019 10:30 am
Italians began voting in Umbria Sunday for a regional election heralded as a key test for both the young left-leaning government and a zealous new right-wing opposition alliance.
Firebrand Matteo Salvini is determined to wrest the hilly region prized for its truffles and prosciutto from the left, which has governed it for 70 years, by capitalising on a health scandal and biting economic crisis.

“Never before has Umbria, with its 884,000 inhabitants, been such an important thermometer for national politics,” the Sole 24 Ore daily said in the run-up to the vote.

Spain’s Far-Right Vox Rallies Thousands In Central Madrid

October 26, 2019 4:31 pm

Thousands of people joined a rally called by Spain’s Vox in Madrid on Saturday, with leader Santiago Abascal telling the crowds only his far-right faction could handle the Catalan crisis.

Shouting “Viva Espana”, they turned the city’s Columbus Square into a sea of red-and-yellow, as the crowds waved thousands of Spanish flags, cheering and chanting, among them many youngsters and families with children.

Addressing the crowds, Abascal took aim at the ruling Socialists, largely focusing on the crisis in Catalonia, which has been gripped by violent protests after the Supreme Court jailed nine separatist leaders over a failed independence bid.…

October 17, 2019 8:10 am

Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is “100 percent sure” that the club has the right structure in place and says money is available to strengthen his struggling squad.

The club’s hierarchy and recruitment under executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward has come in for severe criticism but Solskjaer has described that as “an insult” as he looks to the future.

“I’ve got a three-year contract now so of …
