Problem framing is how actors define problems by associating the events in question with other actors, events and situations that -
- Give the problem meaning
- Suggests possible causes
- Point in the direction of potential remedies
People frame problems based on a collection of their past experiences and knowledge, which makes this more of an art than a science. It can be argued that the degree to which an individual or team can solve problems is significantly dependent on how developed their problem framing skill is. This holds true irrespective of the type of problem being analyzed; business or technical and If problem framing is critical to problem solving you would think that most managers would have developed this skill. However, problem framing is a difficult skill to harness for the following reasons:
- People look for evidence that confirm their frame of reference, instead of looking for disconfirming data
- People aim to present their best selves. They frame the situation in a way that does not make them look bad
- Balancing data and judgement can be difficult. Disconfirming data can be quantitative and qualitative.
From the previous government to the current one, Nigeria's security problems have gotten worse. Killings have become the order of the day, with bandits popping up here and there, to Boko haram making a name for itself by killing on a daily basis.
Just yesterday, I saw on the news the Governor of Niger State confirming that Boko Haram has now monopolized an entire Local Government Area (LGA), in a country like Nigeria, where there are many security forces, they are mounting their flag. This illustrates how serious the security problem has become.
Finally, now is the time to act; let politics aside, the federal, state, and local governments, as well as all political parties, must band together to combat this before it spirals out of control. May God continue to bless us and the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

One thing sports teaches you is to push through. Fight through the downtime and earn your success. No matter what the scoreboard says as long as time is still on the clock, you have to keep fighting. Strength comes from pushing through the pain.
There will always be hard times/ down times, to condition yourself and your mental capacity to learn to work through the hardship. That's what sports and exercise displays day in, day out. You build muscle and excel on the pitch by given yourself even in the toughest times. That commitment and that consistency is how you thrive and breakthrough.
Nothing goes for nothing, there is always a trade off for excellence. My definition of excellence isn't perfection, but consistency in attitude and approach towards a goal with adaptation and review.
Looking at the stress I have been through in the past 48 hours. I can only tell myself that "It is what it is". Trying to catch up on learning Bayes Theorem, Conditional Probability, Binomial Distribution and also taking out time to structure the raw data bought from Mechame Ratios (which is a priority for the exam).
I can only but encourage myself in the Lord that this will also pass. Less than 72 hours to the Data Analytics exam, and I can confirm to you that the tension is quite high.
Nonetheless, for the umpteenth time - THIS TOO SHALL PASS.
This week presents a real challenge for me being Data analytics exam and ABP are scheduled for the end of the week.
This two classes are arguably the most challenging, they both present a flurry of challenges. With ABP your mental state has to be at a very high level and for now i feel like im managing fatigue as im slowly getting burnt out.,
Data analytics on the other hand, seem s like there is just too much information and new material to process in a very short amount of time. On top of that, our group lead came back to us with more information on what is required of us for the individual assignment.
I pray im up to the challenge.
"Sticks and stones may break my bones: but words can never harm me". But that is a lie. Words can do a lot of harm. The fact of the matter is, you can break a bone and it will heal: but with words, you can break a spirit that may never heal.
With your mouth, tongue, and words you could do harm that some people will carry all the days of their lives and all the way to their graves. Hateful hard things can be said to break a soul: or reassuring words to give hope and/or light to a soul in this cold, dark world that we live in.
Which of us then does not offend unintentionally with our words? The real problem however is how deep the pain caused. Fire and sword are slow engines of destruction compared to the tongue of gossip. Remember, the tongue is like a sharp knife: it kills without drawing blood.

While most of my friends decided to use the opportunity of the last
yuletide holiday to explore the most enticing and exotic holiday destinations,
I chose to visit my village, a riverine community in the Niger Delta region.
As expected with the riverine area, the predominant occupation is fishing and as a way of life, it becomes necessary if not compulsory that one must know how to swim and paddle the canoe effectively. In the short time I spent in the village, I took it so seriously to learn the act of paddling the canoe and within a few days I became so skilled to the admiration of my teachers.
I am a firm believer that you are never too old to learn a new skill. The calendar is ticking by the day and my eyes are fixed on the next holiday to race back to the village for my fishing lessons.
Return on Equity (ROE) is a measure of the profitability of a business in relation to equity. ROE is especially used for comparing the performance of companies in the same industry. As with return on capital, ROE is a measure of management's ability to generate income from the equity available to it.
ROE = Net Income / Shareholder’s equity
ROE is an important financial ratio that provides investors with insight into how efficiently a company is managing the money that shareholders have contributed to it. The higher the ROE, the more efficient a company's management is at generating income and growth from its equity financing.
