By Omordia, Efe Alexandra – Choosing a course of study in a Nigerian university is neither here nor there because more often than not, one would end up working in the most inappropriate place after graduation (that is if he/she is lucky enough to find a job after applying with thousands of other disgruntled unemployed for a single miserable position). This anomaly has led to a serious lack of creativity and courtesy in the workplace (you know the look the front office executive gives that makes you feel like the most unlikable human being in the world?). An individual who... Continue Reading
