A businessman in Enugu has given his staff hard currency and plot of land as a show of gratitude.
The businessman Mr. Marksman Chinedu Ijiomah on his Facebook page said he visited his ‘Engine Room and Motivated’ his ‘Team Players’
Some of the staff kneeled down, in appreciation, to collect the money in one of the post on Facebook
In another post he promised others a plot of land.
In another post on Thursday he said ‘I had a mentorship session with my staff in Enugu and after the charge, I gave each of them $100 USD each. They hadn’t expected it.
‘That’s equivalent of N50k with the latest conversation rate in the country. Out of excitement and show of gratitude, they knelt down to thank me. And people are asking why they should kneel down to collect it or thank me.
‘Another time, I went to our site in Enugu and I saw how hardworking the teams were and I gave each of them a plot of land in Enugu and they knelt to thank me. And these same people, social media critics, arm-chair motivational speakers are asking why they should kneel to show appreciation in that manner in a corporate setting.
‘In a corporate setting, how often do people give N50k to staff unexpectedly? How often do workers get plots of lands out of the blues?
‘It is only in Nigeria that honour is questioned. It’s only in Nigeria that acts of gratitudes are questioned, especially by people who have no idea how humans express shock and appreciation.
‘When we opened the Dubai restaurant, I hired an Indian consultant. When we shared what his annual salary entailed, he knelt down to show appreciation and touched my toe and called me leader, an unusual way of appreciation? This man had his own company with over 100 staff. It did not seem unusual for him to show appreciation in that manner. He is over 50 years old.

‘Honour can never be eroded from the growth system of a progressive.
‘The reason why we show you these things, how people respond to gifts, how they show appreciation is so you learn that there is more to sustaining blessings. The unhindered display of emotions is key.
‘A man or woman who lacks honour can never go far in life. It is a thing of principle.
All we have God gave us’
