Helping Hands International (H2i): Become a Partner Today!

A lot has been said about Helping Hands International (H2i) and as a partner; I wish to reiterate what (H2i) stands for. In this part of the world, people seem to be skeptical about multi-level marketing business models. But the truth is; your success in any MLM starts with your mindset. If you believe you can, there will be several positive possibilities. If you do not believe you can, then don not expect much positive results! There is this saying from MLM professionals that; a poor broke person will complain that MLM doesn’t work while a successful leader will ask himself “How can it work?” Success in this industry is not in finding the right person, but in becoming the right person.

What Is Helping Hands International (H2i)?

Helping HandsInternational (H2i) is an International NGO with a clearly defined objective of helping the less privileged in the society. This is made possible by a vision which entails working with kindhearted partners who are willing to make a donation of either N6, 600, N13,200 or N19,800 to become registered on the scheme.

Writing your first Curriculum Vitae/Resume (Pt. 1)

You finally made it out of school and now, with high expectations you are getting ready to hit the labour market, probably for your first job. A lot of questions keep creeping in and you find yourself thinking and asking how to go about it and what to do.

Well, these are normal especially if you have never attempted writing a CV before, which is common with most fresh graduates. The good news is; it is very easy to create a wonderful resume within a few hours. However, your inability to write a good CV can limit you and perhaps inhibit your getting a good job! You should note also that your CV should speak volume about you in your absence. It should get you noticed! Simply put, your CV gives you a head-start and an edge over other applicants. So, do not take it for granted!

Sunday Oliseh Resigns as Super Eagles Head Coach!

Sunday Oliseh took over from Stephen Keshi as the Super Eagles Coach and sincerely hit the ground to reposition the team. However, building a nation has never been easy anywhere not to talk of a nation that has corruption glued to every aspect of her national life like Nigeria. He faced several challenges and obviously got limited support from the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) and other regulatory bodies that seem to have fallen apart in principle.

Just like his predecessors, Sunday Oliseh was owed his salaries and other entitlements due to him. Also, there seem to be lack of commitment on the part of NFF to fulfill their contract terms. Oliseh may have had his weak points as an individual, which got some prominent players like Vincent Enyeama and Emenike quitting the team, but he probably had the best intensions for the team. However, not being able to continue working with individuals that seem to have set him up for failure, Oliseh took the honorable way out by resigning his position as the coach. 

He explained succinctly the major reasons for quitting the Nigeria senior national team, the Super Eagles eight months after being appointed.  Read his resignation letter after the cut...
