Its Finally Here
Wow!! its been quite a while. Well when I was not here, I was over making sure organisations partake in their Corporate Social Responsibilities. Which I must say was quiet interesting although stressful and money zapping but at the end of the day was worth it.
At first, it seemed a lot tasking when my instructor informed my classmates and I about the task. As a student as usual I did what almost everyone would do. Grumble... but now I am very much grateful for that as it has provided me with the opportunity to have a feel of what CSR really meant.
I have to say It was'nt funny at all. We ( myself, blessing and charles) had to visit a lot of places trying to educate and convience them on how and why they should do CSR. companies such as Green-city hotel, Top 10, Muna hotel, Nas Meridien. e.t.c Some were even honest about the fact that they cannot invest into something that would'nt fetch them income. But what they did not understand after explaning it to them so many times was that CSR had a lot of benefits it doesnt have to be financially but just the satisfaction and publicity alone is good enough to fetch them money.
Well, after weeks and weeks we were finally able to get in touch with Nas meridien hotel manager Miss Bilikisu, and the assistant Mr. Usman into taking stewardship and the environment into consideration and to make that happen, they provided shagari secondary school with recylce bins to reduce littering of the environment and its effect to the school and environment at large. They also spoke to the students and the principals on how to keep the bins and evironment clean and safe for all.

CSR project
As earlier published in the previous blog, was the defination of CSR and its concepts. Today, it is all about the activity. We were asked to form groups consisiting of both male and female. My group however, we are only three. We have embarked on our search to corporations that will be eager and willing to participate in this activity.
Glad to say that our first visit was quiet more than we had expected. We were welcomed warm heartedly into Nas meridien hotel Yola and after we met and spoke with the manager, we were assured we had their full support and all we needed do was to make a formal proposal which we also did and handed over to them.
This seems good at first but along the line it felt as if there was gonna be a major delay and we feared it would even lead to a failure on the companies side. But we hoped and prayed hard because it was really important. And awesome it turned out to be a success.

CSR
Corporate Social Responsibility(CSR) means that a corporation should act in a way that
enhances society and its inhabitants and be held accountable for any of its actions that
affect people, their communities, and their environment. this means making a commitment to give back to the society. Many companies dont give back to the society yet the partonize them.
Being socially responsible does not mean that a company must abandon its other
missions.
CSR considers the impact of the companys actions on society.
It requires decision makers to take actions that protect and improve the welfare of society as a whole.
CSR has two principles that govern their activities such as charity : business should give voluntary aid to societies,needy persons and groups.
and stewardship principle means business acting as a public trustee and should consider the interest of all who are affected by business decisions and policies.
why indulge in CSR

Annoying classmates!!
Why are some classmates so annoying? they think they know everything. Im in class struggling to learn while they are there making noise or making you feel your the dumb one. Yes I get the fact you like and can talk in class honestly I admire the courage but really it gets annoying when they begin to go off point but yet argue blindly. tscheww. Im sure we all have acted in such ways but others are way too much. JJC's.

$12,000 puppy for Usher. cute huh?
When I saw this, the first thing that came to my mind was Usher had lost it asin if he wanted a pet what happend to his kids afterall they are adorable:D and of all things to buy for such a price was a Goldendoodle (Golden retriever/poodle hybrid). But then I went further and realised that all the proceeds from the bid went to towards building schools in places like Laos, Nicaragua, Guatemala, and Ghana. So don't judge a book by its cover. if it was for a good cause even I would buy a puppy of this amount over and over again.
But isnt this soooo cute? -------->>>>>
THUMBS UP USHER(Y)
