Do you know an unsuspecting employee or executive in your organization may be a thief, and involved in unethical practices? Business failures are often linked to poor business model and financial management. These may be contributory, but stealing perpetrated through fraud is the major cause. Some employees and executives within the lowest and highest rung of organizational ladder are pilfers. They exploit any cavity within the system to generate unearned income for selfish ends. They are called “Workplace Rats” in this book. Their actions are likened to rats because they leave in their trail, loss of valuables, resulting in most times, to bankruptcy or business closure. These dubious characters are also found among entrepreneurs, business executives, politicians and top government functionaries. This book is therefore an exposition of methods deployed by Workplace rats, and how organisations can prevent them from executing their fraudulent and unethical practices at the workplace.
Most times people think marriage is an easy venture, and without due diligence, they jump into it before realizing the complexity of the institution they have committed to. And to complicate matters, while God has created marriage in a specific way, women today now believe that they have the same rights and authority as the men, leading to undue agitation in marriages where there are no longer defined roles as God intended. Feminism: The Agony of Men shows how the feminist movement—which advocates for equal rights, opportunity, and authority with men—is the major cause of unending tension between men and women both in marriages and in relationships outside of marriage.

Ever since the British created Nigeria in 1914 without regard to the cultural differences and incompatibility of the people in the northern and southern protectorates, the nation has been wracked by problems. The Nigerian civil war fought from 1967 to 1970 and the agitation for restructuring of the political system are just a few examples of the violence that has crippled the nation. With the Nigerian people issuing a sustained call for change, it’s clear that they are not satisfied with the current system of government. So far, leaders have not responded to the discontent, but they’d be well served by holding a referendum to decide what kind of political system to adopt. The referendum ...
Ever since the British created Nigeria in 1914 without regard to the cultural differences and incompatibility of the people in the northern and southern protectorates, the nation has been wracked by problems. The Nigerian civil war fought from 1967 to 1970 is just one example of the violence that has crippled the nation. With the Nigerian people issuing a sustained call for change, its clear that they are not satisfied with the current system of government. So far, leaders have not responded to the discontent, but theyd be well served by holding a referendum to decide what kind of government to adopt. This referendum must be conducted if Nigeria has any chance of stepping away from the precipice. With a referendum, the government would not only make headway on overcoming problems but regain the trust of its people. If Nigerians dont continue to demand change - and if leaders dont start paying attention to them - the country will continue to be plagued by the remnants of Great Britains divide-and-conquer strategy.
The Latin adage “Si vis pacem, para bellum” (if you want peace, prepare for war) is usually interpreted as ‘peace through strength.’ It expresses the idea that being armed and ready to fight in order to defend oneself is a viable way of keeping the peace. However, the truism of the adage is expressed by the author who argues for peace and sustainable development of Africa at large in the light of the Nigerian/Biafra struggle. He intellectually equips readers with memories of the past lest the mistakes of history be repeated. The author uses the power of the pen as a weapon mightier than the sword, to discuss the structures of peace in the African context. He weighs in a balance, the ...
