CSR- What is in it for Us?
This is the question most of our Corporate bodies will ask you if you approach them for sponsorship or donation request for a project.

If there is nothing for them, forget it. Is that how Europeans operate their own CSR?

If you have a personal experience, positive or negative, in this regard, kindly share it with me on this blog.

Is CSR the road to poverty or what?

PAUL KLEE - A GERMAN-SWISS PAINTER

ART HISTORY
PAUL KLEE - A GERMAN-SWISS PAINTER (1879-1940)

PAUL KLEE PAINTINGS

Born on December 18, 1879, in Münchenbuchsee, Paul Klee was a German-Swiss painter, draftsman, printmaker, teacher and writer. 

He is regarded as a major theoretician among modern artists,  a master of humour and mystery, and a major contributor to 20th century art. 

Klee was born into a family of musicians and his childhood love of music would remain very important in his life and work. 

Klee’s main concentration on graphic work changed in 1914 after he spent two weeks in Tunisia with the painters August Macke and Louis Moilliet. He produced a number of stunning watercolours and  colour became central  to his art for the remainder of his life.

CSR IN NIGERIA: Are We Doing it the Right Way?
Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) in Nigeria is self-centred. 

No company will donate to a cause without ulterior motive. They expect something in return. 

Although, they pretend and hide this intention. 
Don't you agree with me? 

Okay, try to review companies involve in CSR for the past ten years and tell me if that is how truly CSR should be executed.

ATM WITHDRAWAL CHARGES IN NIGERIA

ATM WITHDRAWAL CHARGES IN NIGERIA
Why do we always promote policies to swindle the masses in Nigeria? 
I'm talking about the new charges introduced by Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) for ATM withdrawals from third party terminals.

You will recall that all banks compelled customers to use ATM  to make withdrawals for what they call chicken change.

This was done specifically to decongest the various banking hall.

The annoying thing is that if you get to your bank's ATM, it is likely no to be functioning.You just have to go to another nearby Machine. And N65 will be debited from your account for this transaction. Just like that. 

ATM suppose to be an added-value service.
Instead of CBN directing all banks to service their ATM machine and make it functional 24/7, they failed to do so.

 When will this exploitation come to an end? 
What do you think?

BANKING OPERATIONS IN NIGERIA
Banks in Nigeria are ripping us dry in so many ways too numerous to mention. If you open a current account in any Bank in Nigeria today, your Bank will debit your account indirectly for as much as N10,000:00 . 
Just for opening a current account.
No wonder they keep on declaring billions of profit yearly.

 Is Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) aware of this rip-off?
Don't you think CBN should do something about it?
