Recently to the joy of many, there has been a spike in explorers of Africa who have re-discovered places and areas that were otherwise hidden and undiscovered by those who claimed had been on journeys of the continent to explore its nature. In some instances the re-discovery has been of places that those who had come before had already put their names to as the first ones to sight them with civilized lens, but the good thing about the modern explorers is they are giving new narratives all together, bringing new lease of life to these areas.

This re-discovery of Africa has been pushed by a suspect movement led by advanced technology which has made what we now call social media more common and a new easily accessible medium for transporting of information. Before the 19th century, the explorers were predominantly western Europeans such as Vasco Da Gama and the Scottish Dr David Livingstone, to name the most popular I studied in our African history primary school subject.

The modern day exploration or re-discovery of Africa is led not by older men, but young tech enthusiasts so called vloggers or Youtubers such as IspeedShow (real name, Darren Watkins Jr.), Wode Maya (real name Berthold Kobby Winkler Ackon) and Kurt Caz just to mention a few prominent ones. Unlike the older explorers who chose key landmarks for recognition as their discoveries and some were also known for ostracizing local cultural practices, items and the people; the modern young explorers showcase everything in their path with due respect. Some of them bring these exploration live in real time to their audiences across the globe without any censoring.

What is important in celebrating these modern explorers is that first and foremost they are young and have African roots. They are sons of the continent rediscovering themselves and their land as well as helping others to experience the same. Significantly they are youthful Africans bringing light, showing the beauty and bountifulness of the young Africa continent. This, it can not be reversed, this is the time for Africa! And Africa will shine.

Remote Working and Employee Satisfaction in the Information Technology Sector: A Conceptual Reappraisal Grounded in Wellbeing and Work Experience

https://doi.org/10.55640/ijsshd-v03i02-02
Remote working has shifted from a marginal practice to a central feature of contemporary employment, particularly within the information technology sector, where digital infrastructure and project-based work make distributed arrangements common. Although many studies report positive links between remote work and employee satisfaction, the existing evidence often remains fragmented or focused on narrow indicators.

A broader perspective is needed to understand how employees actually experience remote work and why satisfaction varies across individuals and organisations. This paper offers a theoretically grounded reappraisal of how remote working shapes satisfaction through wellbeing, work-life balance and perceptions of organisational support. Drawing on Social Exchange Theory and Self Determination Theory, the paper brings together recent empirical findings and organisational scholarship to show that satisfaction in remote settings does not arise from flexibility alone.

It develops through the quality of autonomy, employees experience, the strength of their relationships with the organisation and the way remote work practices are structured and supported. These processes influence how employees interpret their work environment, manage boundaries and sustain motivation.
The paper contributes to current debates by clarifying the mechanisms that strengthen or weaken satisfaction in the IT sector.

It also presents a conceptual framework that moves beyond simple comparisons between remote and office based work, offering a more grounded understanding of the conditions that support positive remote work experiences. Implications are outlined for organisations seeking to promote wellbeing, engagement and sustainable performance in digitally mediated environments.

Respect is the acknowledgement that another has feelings that just like our own the desire is for positive ones only. In fact it is an acknowledgement of the human aspect in the other person. It goes beyond empathy as it surpasses putting ourselves in the other person’s shoes. It goes beyond in that respect means adoration, human adoration of the other person and the position that they hold to you or others.

People who disrespect others, are construed to be those who have disregard feelings of others. They normally behave in a selfish manner no matter the impact it brings to the feelings of others, especially negative feelings.

On the other hand, there is a distinctive difference between fearing someone and respecting them. With fear there is not necessarily rational reasoning to adoring the other. Quite often it is driven by focus on physical human attributes.

Inspirational Quotes for the Weekend

By Dr Charles Leyman Kachitsa

In anything and in any circumstance the degree and or intensity matters. Anything too little as to be interpreted as inadequate would not be sufficient to the course be in its application, feeling, intake or otherwise. Yes too much as to be interpreted to be beyond measure and abnormal, would always turn poisonous in the process becoming destructive. A balanced situation is always ideal.

A basic example is that which comes from the sky which is there to sustain nature, to make it thrive, to make the living elements to multiply. But too much of it is destructive, for instance too much rain destroys all that is in its way as it navigates the paths to where it can thrive freely. Some of the water that is brought by rain is used for life sustaining and where absent it has dire consequences for areas that it has not reached where the habitant becomes a source of misery and death. Experiences of too little of it are just as bad.

Humanity always thrive well in equilibrium, where things are balanced. Not too little and not too much. In fact one has to be happy with having all that is life sustaining without wanting more than is adequate. People have been destroyed because of having in possession that which is beyond what is necessary. A balance has to be struck and one has to know where the mid-point is in order to live a joyous life, living a knowing life that you are full.
