I believe Rich marrying Rich is alright, it is even good. It is better for people from similar backgrounds to get married to each other, this is because it is very likely that their perspectives and approach to issues would be similar.

The earlier we stop to regard HR as the "hire, fire & payroll" department, the better it will be for Nigerian companies.

A lot of u guys are simply not realistic, I think Nigerian graduates should be judged according to how well they have utilised the less than meagre resources at their disposal. I think on this scale Nigerian graduates have done marvelously well.
