Invariably, economic
recession brings in its wake heightened social maladies which nations must
address urgently. For instance, recession in 18th century Great Britain
resulted in people being “compelled to seek their livelihood by begging,
robbing, stealing, cheating, pimping, flattering, foraging, gaming, lying, fawning,
whoring, according to Jonathan Swift, 1667-1745.
Another recession in the
same country in the 19th century added to the situation “where you could buy a
thirteen-year-old girl for a few pounds – a few shillings – if you wanted her
for an hour or two,” according to the Children’s Employment Commission Report,
1867.
The Great Depression in
America lasting from 1929 to 1933 gave rise to the power of the Mafia – which
has remained in the US till today. Today in Nigeria, idleness involving
millions of our people (especially the youth), has added to existing social
maladies. Such “jobs” as: pipeline vandalism, kidnapping, armed robbery
masquerading as militancy, drug trafficking and abuse, child and women
trafficking, gun-running, bribery, extortion, arson, ballot box snatching,
institutionalisation of embezzlement of public funds as well as religious
terrorism.
When recession increases
the number of the jobless, the Devil’s workshop is filled to the brim, thus
increasing the rate of heinous and violent crimes in the society. To some
extent, the current fight against corruption could be futile; partly because it
assumes that corruption resides only at the top. The sheer number of people
driven to crime by joblessness might overwhelm the legal/security system unless
urgent steps are taken.
The jobless and poor will
stay awake because they are hungry; the Haves will not sleep peacefully because
the hungry multitudes will keep them awake. Recession is a multi-faceted war
declared on the foundations of society. It is important to keep this reality in
view while planning our ways out of the recession.
Have you heard this? Many Nigerian exporters have been
defrauded of huge amount of money in the process of exporting commodities to
foreign countries. Do you know why? They were not trained on export operations,
management, documentations and the best methods of payment in export trade.
This is terrible!!! Nigerians cannot continue to lose money to foreigners in
the course of export business. Exporters, why don’t you get a practical manual
that teaches the stages of export trade from processing and packaging of commodities
to receipt of payment by the foreign buyers. It teaches export operations,
export management, export documentations and methods of payment in export
trade? It is a contemporary step-by-step guide to export trade. It tells all
the contemporary dynamics in export trade. To get it, click on the link below:
E-mail
marketing is the easiest and most affordable way of reaching your target
audience and would-be customers within some minutes. If you spend little percentage of just your one month budget for
advertisement on email marketing, you could double your client base. Harvard Business Review has proven that email
marketing has a far higher return on investment (ROI) than traditional
advertisement and even the highly advocated social media adverts.
E-mail
marketing is fast becoming the most reliable and profitable marketing strategy
in this country owing to the fact that each recipient of your e-mail campaign
is more likely to patronize you. So, if you have not started using this
strategy in your business, you are definitely missing a whole lot of patronage
from prospective big clients.
With
e-mail addresses at your disposal, you do not need to pay through your nose
again in placing adverts in the print or electronic media for your products and
services. You just have to package your adverts/proposals very well and send
directly to your prospective clients via e-mail. It will reduce cost, time and
improve the bottom-line of your organization. The e-mail addresses are usually separated
with commas (,). You will just paste your proposal/advert on the body of the
e-mail, copy and paste the e-mail addresses on the BCC row bit by bit and send.
It is very simple. For more information on the advantages of e-mail marketing,
