Working at Home The project I am working on is outside where I stay, so, I am currently lodged with some of my colleagues in what i call a "home office". Its a new experience... The office is downstairs and the living area is just upstairs. How would you like to work in that kind of evironment. My thoughts - Its nice t be able to strol into the office in the morning but it means work continues until its bed time. What do you all think?

LONG TIME NO HEAR I told ya so, hallo people.... Its been ages I wrote anything in my blog... I actually changed jobs and was on training for a while. So, what did I tell ya... I have moved to Business Consulting oops....sorry, its business advisory service. I am on my first project and its a whole new world. Its interesting but it could also be a lot of work. I just thought I should not forsake my blog. I will start a short series called the battle of the sexes in a few days time and I hope to get your inputs and coments. I'll soon update.

What is in a name? It was ECONET then VMOBILE now CELTEL.....What!? really is in a name? ECONET prided itself as the first company "to offer GSM phones to Africa's largest and perhaps most neglected telecoms market", Nigeria in August 2001 but ever since then it seems every other network that started after them has more base stations and a larger customer base. To compound issues, people are confused, Should we call them ECONET, VMOBILE or even recently CELTEL, what is really happening? The Chief Executive Officer of the CELTEL International group, the new owners of Vmobile Nigeria, Mr. Marten Pieters has however stated that Celtel is very prepared to take on the tasks ahead and its catch phrase is tariff crash. He's implied that despite the fact that a lot of people are using the GSM, most people have to pay through their noses to get the service. So, they intend to crash tariff. He also stated that despite the number of people using the GSM, many more people do not

Gist ("Transport Plava") "See me, see trouble oh" I left my new place of work yesterday at 6:00 pm, strolled to the bus stop and boarded a bus going towards my house. We were just a few meters away from the bus stop when the driver said we should pay our transport fares. I really wasn't interested in paying at the time but I was prevailed upon by some other passengers. As though the bus was waiting for me to hand over my fare, as soon as I did, the bus just suddenly stopped. In their usual manner, the bus driver jumped underneath the bus and fiddled with some things. He came back into the bus and told us the bus was OK. We then resumed the journey, As we were about to ascend the "third mainland bridge",(for people that know Lagos, Nigeria), the bus stopped again. The driver repeated the process of flying under the bus and giving us further assurance. So, we proceeded...Soon, I noticed that I was feeling extremely hot and found out it was the heat fro

The Consultants Consultant Been a while huh! I changed jobs last week, so its not been very easy to fill this in. I moved from human resource consulting to Professional Service (IT) Consulting. Despite the fact that I studied Computer Science, I really enjoyed Human Resources. I got to interact with people from different walks of life at different stages and levels in their careers. My Objective is to be the Consultants consultant so, I have done HR, I am doing IT and I will do ............... I just started on the job, so far, I have gone to five sites and gotten a lot of exercise in the process. I am getting a hang of it. I also discovered and I am researching into something I didn't know much about before......... "Data Minning" I intend to write some articles on it as I study, so if you want to know something about it, stay with me.

WOULD ELECTRICITY REALLY GET BETTER IN NIGERIA? Are you familiar with the term "One day off and two days on of Electricity"? Then, you are most likely Nigerian..... BUT it looks like there will be respite for our souls. The Power Holding Company of Nigeria (PHCN), recently unbundled into 18 companies and it appears that before the government's invitation for prospective private sector bids, the Manufacturing association of Nigeria (MAN) is prepared to acquire the company. Over the years, power has been a major problem of the manufacturing sector of Nigeria. A lot of prospective Manufacturers decided against having their plants in the country because of the high cost of generating electricity. As a result of this, the MAN has decided to to take advantage of the on going reforms and proposed privatisation to establish an Independent Power Plant. MAN has therefore decided that they will bid for the company at the appropriate time. Some people think its just one of those whit

Do you think the Nigerian Police is "reformable"? Can it possibly be true that the Nigerian police is going to be reformed? The Federal Executive Council (FEC) approved the white paper on the reforms of the Nigeria's police force. Some of their recommendations are: 1. That the National Security and Civil Defence corps be merged with the police 2. That all roadblocks be dismantle 3. That in case of death, the dependents of police officers should be trained free of charge up to secondary school level 4. Efforts should continue to enhance the wage and welfare package of the police The bill is supposed to aid the fight against corruption. I hope that these reforms will take effect and that the Nigerian Police force will be more effective. Let me have your thoughts, Do you think the Nigerian Police is "reformable"?
