Driving ethics are standards of courtesy while operating a vehicle. An example of driving ethics is avoiding cursing at people if they make an error while driving. However, some Nigerians will even curse you for their own error. I’ve always got several pet peeves while driving but hope I am not alone in this. So I decided to come up with these 13 driving ethics some Nigerian drivers won’t practice even if you use a sledge hammer. High beam headlight This action blinds the drivers of oncoming vehicles, making it difficult for them to follow the road safely. We even use the high beam on untarred roads. Offending drivers still don’t budge even if you flash at them a hundred times. I learnt this almost the hard way on a dual carriageway.. Thank God I only got a warning. But a friend wasn’t that lucky as she got a $350 ticket (i.e N60,000 then… N180,000 now). After paying such amount, you will feel like plucking out those headlights.

There are principles that were handed to us by people from the previous generation. These were things they applied repeatedly in their time which worked for them. The problem now is that a lot of those principles have become obsolete and have no place in today’s world. The world has gone way past them. It can be a very frustrating experience for anyone who keeps trying to apply these principles without recognizing that the rules of the game has changed. It is like trying to beat a dead horse. Some people get so caught up in tradition (the way it has always been done) that they frown at anything new. You will hear them say, “This is how it has always been done” or “this is how I am”. The real question here is: “what if the “YOU” is not working?” “What if HOW it has always been done is not giving you the desired results?” This is why it is pertinent to re-evaluate what we have believed and make necessary adjustments. Here are five popular principles you should consider for ...

Someone asked me a question, “Can I get a job using the social media?” I replied her “If only you could know the secrets.” Every day I see people get jobs using social media and it has forced me to write about it. Desperate measures require desperate actions. “Everything is possible to them that believe that they can get a job using the social media” I just had to twist a portion of a holy book to stake my claim that you can use the social media to get a nice job. It is unfortunate that most job seekers see the social media as a place while away time and catch fun. Also a place possibly to look for the opposite sex and get hooked up. The economy is getting worse, experienced workers are getting sacked and are sent back into the job market to compete with the ones with little or no experience. What is now the fate of the fresh graduate or the old graduate without any job experience? The social media as a job hunting tool will help you explore other options, but unfortu...
