The Heart wants what it wants

 She is awkward with love talk

I dare say she is a spoilsport 

Her words are piercing daggers

Slashing stabbing at my members



The heart doth want what it wants

Torture that I bid not stop



The tragedy is not being loved in turn


The beauty of your letters means naught


If  tender love is not returned


Who to blame, the heart wants what it wants….

Around the world, CSR has become a cornerstone of ethical business practice, but in Nigeria, it remains largely voluntary. In most cases, when companies in Nigeria engage in CSR, it takes the form of charity or goodwill gestures—building boreholes, sponsoring school competitions, or donating to local festivals. These acts, though valuable, are not rooted in any legal obligation. They are optional, often inconsistent, and left entirely to the discretion of the companies. This leads us to a central question: why is CSR not enforceable by law in Nigeria? A Legal Vacuum The Companies and Allied Matters Act (CAMA), which governs corporate activities in Nigeria, makes no binding provision for CSR. This means there is no requirement for companies to g...
