How to sack your CEO!

First and foremost, why in heavens name would you want to sack your CEO? But on another thought, it may at some point, become necessary to do so! What do I mean?

I was at a time researching into the strategies of a big gaming brand in Nigeria and upon surfing their website for info, I came across a grave error. The web developer wrote Chief Execution Officer instead of Chief Executive Officer. You say it's typo error right? Well, maybe yes or maybe not. Out of the abundance of the mind, the hand may have written! There may have been a CEO (Chief Execution Officer) troubling workers in the office.

In some workplaces, the working environment may be so toxic that it is difficult to pursue personal ambitions or dreams. The work culture may be killing (executing) the personal dreams or side businesses of the workers. Most workers have dreams of what they intend to achieve on the job or in a side business while they work. However, many companies see this personal ambition of their workers as a conflict of interest.

Even though some workplace put it in their mission statement that the working culture in the company is one that allows employees to grow their personal ambitions, dreams and business, this however is not the reality of things in practice.

But why would a company see it's employees side hussle as conflicting to its own interest? Some have candid and genuine reasons to do so, especially if the side hussle of the staff is in competition with the company's services or you're using company resources for personal use. It is very WRONG for you to do that. However, some other companies are just doing so out of selfishness even when there is no conflict. There is this mentality of "I'm paying him/her...".

The funny thing is, when the need arise for the company to engage the service of your side capabilities or services (which are not in your employment portfolio), they will not view it as conflicting, and expect you to do it free. But the moment you begin to trade with it on the side to make yourself some money, it becomes a conflict of interest. This is an attempt to kill that special capability or business of yours and whoever is in the front of doing this is the Chief Execution Officer.

How do you then get rid of such CEO's.

We will treat this in the next article!

U.I Awo Hall Executives (Team Standard 2018) Cleared of Alleged Misappropriation of Funds

The two-year war that raged between the executive members (2018/19) of the Obafemi Awolowo hall (Awo Hall) University of Ibadan and the allegations laid against them by their Hall Warden has been settled, with the executive members exonerated of all charges. It was gathered that the excos had been alleged of misappropriation of funds and lack of accountability by the hall warden Dr. Mrs. Adedoyin Aguoru, which led to the dissolution of the executive body and a taint on the personalities of the executive members. In a joint letter signed by the president and made public by the executive members, it was made clear the proceedings from the investigation and the eventual acquital verdict given by the Students Affairs Division of the University.

Insecurity in Oyo State: Towards a safer Oyo State.

Blame game/Opposition game A wise man once said, "When you keep blaming others for every situation you're in, someday you’ll begin to look like you’re the mistake all along". This holds true of our politicians in Nigeria. When a new government spend a good portion of its administration to point fingers on the failures or bad gimmicks of the old/displaced government instead of thinking outside the box to proffer solutions to the dilemma at hand, soon they will start to appear incompetent and an excuse seeker. Blame game has been a sad trend in our polity in this country. The APC government at the federal level elected in 2015 spent their entire first term blaming the deposed PDP government for insurgency and insecurity. Yeah, this state of insecurity ended the PDP reign of 16 years and the same is about to end the APC reign because they've also failed to keep the nation secured. They are now a victim of the situation that brought them to be. I hope this same trend won
