Feeling The Blues?

On the 31st of January 2011,  I woke up @ 5 am with butterflies in my stomach. What caused them you might ask? Torres was coming to Stamford Bridge. I was going to church with a friend on the day before and thought that I should check BBCFootball on the net for any rumours/gossips. There, lo and behold, was the rumour about a fifty million pound transfer between a London Club and a Merseyside club. I started drooling..who wouldn't want Fernando Torres in their team, even if he is the uneffective and unstriking Fernando Torres. @ 12am it was confirmed and we(the blues fan) were all in cloud 9. F9 is really a beauty and talent to behold.aaaahh. The rest as they say is history.

 Now, almost a month to that day, I'm thinking, was it a right choice by Abramovich? We have no doubts he loves Chelsea Fc, any1 who doubts  his love didn't watch last season's last premier league game @ home. The day we lifted the trophy after three years. We loved and still love Drogba, Ashley Cole, Bosingwa and co. They are just feeling the blues. A time when they can loose to any team, and when I say any team, any team e.g Wolves. Even though wolves did great by beating Liverpool, Man city and Manchester United, it was the worst defeat that I, a true blue, could ever take.

 I love football. Watching the game is a favorite past time of mine. I love watching the Blues play. Their story made me love the game. The fact that our very own Mikel Obi is one of their starting X1 has made me love them more. During pre-season, the Chelsea team went on tour to Germany loosing four of their six games. But they were easily forgiven  given the fact that 2010 was a World cup year and a disapointing one , I understood that it would be difficult getting back the form they had when they won "the double".

They lost the Community Shield to Manchester United. Doubts were raised if the champions could defend their EPl title.  But loosing to.....arrrggghhh. Let me stop here.

I pray EL Nino settles down @ SW6. But I won't be convinced until he scores his first goal. We would love it more if he scores them in the champions league.

Jenny.

My First Day In Ikoyi Prison

Hello guys, I was led to join the Prison Ministry in my church many moons ago. I had a desire to help people in many ways by providing resources,  my time, etc. Serving there has been a blessing.  Ikoyi Prison Entrance My first experience at Ikoyi Prison, Falomo was enriching. I left home early to avoid the usual Third Mainland Bridge traffic so that I could make it to the Prison and join my team mates on time so I was feeling drowsy. I was surprised when my team mate said I should not worry that the sleep would disappear as soon as we step in. She was right. I forgot the sleep and was emotional all through our stay/service. Before we entered the facility, we were thoroughly searched. Azzin!! Head to toe something. No phones allowed. No sharp objects either. Then I saw the men.  There were so many men. So many hungry and hopeful gazes at us. We were led to the Church, yes, there are two churches and a mosque in that facility. I was impressed an...

Customer Service Talk with Jane

  The not so huge secret is out! I have been sharing some business tips on this blog but I am more passionate about Customer Service and I am very vocal about this not because of my years of experience working as a Customer Service Executive but because Nigerian vendors like to test our patience and I have experienced too much of it to ignore. I have also been hosting talks on a Whatsapp group for a while now where I share some tips and my Customer Service experience, answer questions business owners have and how to resolve customer complaints satisfactorily. I am excited to share publicly that I will be hosting another Customer Service Talk on March 6, 2022 by 8pm. Attendance is free and virtual(Google Meet) but you have to register. See link below: https://forms.gle/Jp9cTX6fTLNUzpnf6 See you there!

Don't Keep Your Customers Waiting

Feedbacks like the above aren't good for business growth as they discourage other "intending" Customers. You should not keep Customers waiting whether you own a kiosk or a conglomerate.  We have terrible and incompetent policymakers in Nigeria whose policies crumble businesses, but business owners should play their part and ensure they keep their businesses afloat by keeping loyal Customers satisfied.  When you satisfy your clients, they would not leave. They will bring more clients to you saving you the cost budgeted for Advertisement and Promotion. One of the parts you need to play well is to hire willing and loyal staff. I didn't believe tales of few good or employable people until I started helping employers to hire people. The labour market is not encouraging, yes, but you should keep searching. You can use job sites well, give them your requirements and pay the applicable fee needed to get what you want. You can also headhunt after proper due diligence. If you d...
