NOTHING IS PERMANENT!

Donald Duke

Mr. Donald Duke

When I see Public Office Holders misbehaving, I always have the thought that probably they do not have a good wife/husband or a good marriage. As governor, I was on call 24/7 sometimes. I got very angry and could take my anger on anyone. So, my chief of protocol bore the brunt one day.

Extra-smart Nigerians are getting shares of the new Lagos by acquiring plots, acres and hectares of land at Ibeju Lekki . What are you waiting for? Click: http://www.tectono-business.com/2019/07/have-share-of-new-lagos-by-investing-in.html

I had a reception for guests and he placed them in rooms, not the way I would have done it, but he didn’t do anything wrong. He used his own judgment. I would have done it the other way, but I over reacted. I spoke very harsh to him. While I was doing this, my wife walked in and didn’t say a word. She came in, did some other things in my office and left. When I got back home in the evening, I’d forgotten about it. It’s just a normal event in the day.

Have you heard that Landwey is giving out plots of land at URBAN PRIME TWO ESTATE at Abraham Adesanya Roundabout, Ajah, Lagos? You can get yours by clicking: http://www.tectono-business.com/2020/02/urban-prime-two-estate.html

My wife went on her knees in front of me, looked straight into my eyes like a penitent sinner and said, "The way you spoke to this guy was wrong and we have to go and apologise to him." She said I had no reason to speak to anyone like that. I said, "What! He did this..." and she interrupted me, "Yes, I heard everything. The way you would have done it was different, but he didn’t do a bad thing. He used his discretion. So, what are you going to do? You have destroyed his self-esteem. Tomorrow, he is not going to do anything discretionally. He would wait for orders and then you will get irritated at that. You have made him lose his self-confidence and that is wrong. You need to go and apologise to him. Why should you speak to someone like that because you are governor?"

I ignored her, stood up and went into the bedroom, still fuming. As she will always do if she wants to have her way, my wife followed me into the bedroom and went on her knees again to plead the cause of a man as if he had begged her to plead his case. "You have to do it this night and not tomorrow" because I kept saying I would do it tomorrow. Onarie, still on her knees and almost in tears, insisted and said, "No, tonight. That man is not going to sleep well and so you do not have the right to sleep well when he was not sleeping well."

Wow!!! Have you discovered where CEOs and top managers take their vehicles to for body work, painting with Sikkens paint and oven baking? It’s GOF AUTOS LTD. For details, click: http://www.tectono-business.com/2017/06/gof-autos-limited-best-automobile.html

Clearly defeated, I got into the car and we drove to his house. His gate man froze when he discovered I was the one. In his confusion, he did not know how to properly open the gate till Onarie told him to take two deep breaths before attempting to open the door again! We were ushered into the living room by an equally confused maid who had to stumble over chairs.

His wife turned in. They were about to go to bed. She was in her night gown. She saw me and was scared with the expression of, ‘Okay, you have come to fire my husband finally’. The guy came downstairs, petrified as my wife and I walked into the private living room. The wife wanted to get up and leave. I told the guy I came to apologise for my rude and harsh behaviour towards him and I told him am sorry.

Are you aware that many Nigerian exporters have been defrauded in the process of exporting their products? To export successfully and get paid, click: http://www.tectono-business.com/2016/02/contemporary-step-by-step-guide-to.html

They all got emotional but I got relieved. It was like a heavy load had been taken off me. I still get upset with things going up wrong, but I don’t get to a point I feel I am too big to say sorry and am learning to treat people better.

You can be referred to as "Your Excellency" today, but, for the best, it will only last eight years. Senator? Minister? It is not forever! Permanent Sec? It is still not permanent and we all know it's just a title and not a lifelong position. Director? CEO? DG? etc. Life is a stage, a platform for services unto God. So, let everyone take heed. Forgive and have regard for Human beings"

Erstwhile Governor, of Cross River State

GOF AD

Do you know that the kind of #vehicle you drive goes a very long way in affecting your #image? Yes, your vehicle tells people, including your #prospective #clients, how #comfortable you are. #Comfort is directly proportional to #competence. Of course, if you are competent in what you do, you will be comfortable enough to afford at least a #brand #new vehicle. Have you ever wondered why #banks and other #financial #institutions give their #marketers brand new cars? Your level of comfort goes a long way in determining if your prospective clients will trust you. The reason why you have not won those contracts or deals could be because your prospective customers think that you are incompetent owing to how worn-out your car is. Yes, the onus is on you to acquire brand new cars. Top sales people buy new cars every year. Do you know what? That worn-out vehicle that you currently drive can look like a brand new one. We, at GOF AUTOS LIMITED can make it possible via total #body #work, #refurbishing, #priming, #painting with the best #paint in the #world called #SIKKENS #PAINT, #OVEN #BAKING with a world-class oven and #BUFFERING. #Blue-chip #companies, #CEOs and top #managers give us all their worn-out vehicles for body work.

EXPORT

Hmmm!!! Folks, let us say the truth and shame the #devil. Many #Nigerian #non-oil products #exporters have been defrauded of huge amount of #money in the process of #exporting #agricultural #commodities and solid #minerals 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, would you like to keep on being scammed? Why don’t you get a practical manual that explains the stages of export trade from processing and #packaging of commodities to receipt of payment by the foreign buyers? It explains export operations, export management, export documentations and methods of payment in export trade? Yes, it is a #contemporary step-by-step #guide to export trade.

EXPORT

Fellow #Nigerians, are you aware that our #crude #oil will soon become useless? Yes, it will, in no distant time, become #valueless owing to the fact that the #countries that rely on it as their only source of #energy are developing more affordable #alternative sources of energy. When this finally happens, what will we do? How are we currently preparing for this imminent #economic doom? Which other sector will continue to stabilize our economy? Nigerians, the only #solution is developing the #agricultural sector. In fact, this is the only #solution. Very soon, the major source of revenue will become agriculture and #agro-exports. How are you positioning yourself to play big in agro-export #business? Why don’t you get a practical manual that explains the stages of export trade from #processing and #packaging of #commodities to receipt of #payment by the #foreign buyers? Yes, arm yourself with the #contemporary #trends in #export #trade. This manual explains export #operations, export #management, export #documentations and methods of #payment in export trade? Yes, it is a contemporary step-by-step guide to export trade. It tells all the contemporary dynamics in export trade.
