"The Offside Musings Podcast" Okey Ndibe with Emeka Onyeagwa#40 ----- Is Soludo a Prophet, Sourpuss, or Both?“Last week, Soludo launched two salvoes to earn himself attention and irritation in, it seemed, equal measure. Appearing on Channels TV to discuss his proposed budget, he was asked about the investments that former Governor Peter Obi had made prior to leaving office in 2014. Obi, who is auditioning for the job of Nigeria’s president, has often bragged about his husbandry of state funds during his eight-year tenure as governor. At first, Soludo demurred, telling the Channels TV anchor that he intended to focus solely on his budget. Even so, he allowed himself to take the bait. In what seem...2022-11-181h 15

It’s no surprise that there’s desperation in the air. This desperation has birthed a fresh, and quite refreshing, quest for a more thorough evaluation of political candidates. Voters seem to be saying to politicians, effete rhetoric will no longer suffice. Pray, come up with real answers, will you?"

Since securing the ticket in a battle royale decided by the amount of dollars doled out to delegates, Atiku has not been able to smooth the feathers of the runner-up, Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers.”

For good reason, the Yoruba hold Awo as a peerless icon. If they revere the late statesman, it’s because – despite his flaws – he earned every bit of their adoration. He oversaw the modernist transformation of the Western region, a feat he achieved by championing free education and healthcare as well as investing in infrastructure.

He announced that he was quitting the PDP. Then he crossed over to Labor Party, easily securing the ticket of that much less established political organization.
The force of his political capital seemed to galvanize the also-ran LP. Overnight, he turned his new party platform into something of a household name.

La table ronde du managementManager les seniors [La table ronde du management]Ce mois-ci, on parle du management des seniors : vaste sujet.Dans les organisations, il peut exister une appréhension liée au management des seniors nourrie par plusieurs préjugés : leurs compétences semblent moins adaptées au monde actuel, ils auraient une certaine aigreur, ils camperaient sur leurs acquis, nostalgiques du temps passé... bref, pas simple pour la dynamique de l'équipe !Mais est-ce vraiment le cas ? Parce que oui, bien que ces préjugés - qu'on se passera bien de généraliser - aient probablement un fond de vérité, cela n'empêche pas les seniors de se r...2020-11-2544 min
La table ronde du managementOptimisme Et Pessimisme : mode d'emploi [La table ronde du management]L’optimisme et le pessimisme : deux énergies, deux ambiances . En entreprise, comme ailleurs, on les oppose très souvent et l’une serait manifestement préférable à l’autre. Pourtant est-ce le cas ? Pas si sûr.Parce que oui, les deux ont leur utilité ! L’optimisme rend les projets séduisants et génère l’enthousiasme tandis que le pessimisme permet de les rendre plus robustes.Alors au lieu de chercher à faire gagner l’une sur l’autre, on vous invite à réfléchir à comment utiliser intelligemment ces deux énergies dans vos équipes ! Et vous le pressentez… cela peut vite devenir un vrai casse-t...2020-11-0341 min
La table ronde du managementNe faites plus semblant de faire confiance ! [La table ronde du management]Beaucoup d’entreprises et de managers pensent faire confiance à leurs équipes, mais est-ce vraiment le cas ? Faire confiance c’est quoi ? Et bien c’est privilégier la confiance a priori et arrêter la confiance sous conditions : arrêter de demander des preuves et de contrôler de manière systématiqur et commencer à donner des opportunités de succès à tous et pas qu’aux meilleurs.Alors oui, vous aurez parfois l’impression de prendre des risques mais vous verrez que le jeu en vaut largement la chandelle : révéler des pépites parmi vos collaborateurs, créer des dynamiques d’équipe...2020-09-2253 min

We make a case for Nigerians to jettison their two-party mindset and massively support the best candidates—who are outside the APC-PDP brackets. We x-ray many voters’ attitude that the best candidates won’t win—and that the choice must be between the lesser of two evils. We challenge enlightened Nigerians to seize the moment and make a difference instead of abandoning their country to visionless, vicious politicians whose entire motive is to exploit political offices for mindless embezzlement of public resources.
