      If your response to any of the questions above was ‘YES’ then this book is a must read for you.

      This is a look through the employee maze and a guide to assist the employee in attaining empowerment at all levels of their lives and live free to exit paid employment a success.

      Hop in lets go for the ride!

He also talked about a former bank MD in one of the banks in Nigeria who retired in the early nineties and took his severance package in joy to go live the rest of his life in blissful glamour, after all, such a huge payoff will not finish for like another two life times, but to his amazement,
