The Foundation Of Awori People.

HOW THE AWORIS FOUNDED LAGOS What is the origin of Lagos island or ‘Eko’ as we Yorubas know it? Who were the original natives and inhabitants of the island? As we asked these questions, this was the reply of Chief Olateju, a Lagos white-cap chief and custodian of traditional history of Eko at the Iga Idunganran, the traditional palace of the Oba of Lagos. ‘Lagos was originally inhabited by the Aworis, a people who have continued to live here. I am one of these Aworis,’ Chief Olateju told us very firmly and assuredly. And as he continued his lesson in the history of Lagos to our great satisfaction, it became clear to us that not only was Chief Olateju very knowledgeable about this topic, he was also very proud indeed of his Awori roots. ‘According to our tribal legends, we are the descendants of Olofin, a prince from Ile-Ife, who was one of the legendary grandsons of Oduduwa.  Like many of those early Ife princes, he left Ile-Ife in search of fame and glory, trying to find a new land in

Aisha Abba Kyari- Father Life Time

MY DADDY, MY BEST FRIEND By Aisha Abba Kyari On 17th April, 2020, my world came crashing down and my heart shattered into a billion pieces. Upon receiving the news of my father’s passing, I immediately felt the most excruciating pain – a pain I would not wish on my worst enemy. My biggest fear in the world had materialised. Most people knew my dad as the Chief of Staff to President Muhammadu Buhari. As it is with many public servants, there was much more to him than the signature white kaftan and red cap by which he came to be recognised. He was a most remarkable husband to my mother (HauwaKulu), and father to myself and my three younger siblings (Nurudeen, Ibrahim, and Zainab). Completely irreplaceable. Growing up, my dad doted over us. He was extremely protective and his role in raising us with my mother was as complimentary as it was distinct. His main focus was our education, and my mother’s was etiquette and religion! He was stern, and Ammui (as we call her) was playful. It was a

Six Performance HR Management Tactics.

6 Performance Management Tactics That Never Grow Old. by Derek Jones, HR Expert Contributor April 28, 2020 It is not a secret that HR plays an important role in the success of any organization, as better organizational performance translates to more profit. It is for this very reason that employee managers have tried different ways to push the capabilities of their human resources. Today, we are going to look at some of the earliest performance management tactics and how they evolved over the last few decades.   How HRM evolved from personnel management The post-World War saw several scholars taking it upon themselves to study the people at their places of work.
