Nigerian Assassin Series - Week 3

Dear readers,

#Because it's Week 3 of the Nigerian Assassin Series

#Friday #October #TGIF

Toxic Culture, Ruthless Rules

The Mirror People’s culture is simple: loyalty or death. Success earns you temporary safety, failure earns you punishment — often permanent. There is no room for feedback, innovation, or dissent. Everyone operates under fear.

At first, this looks effective. Tasks get done. Rules are followed. But beneath the surface, fear destroys trust, creativity, and long-term loyalty. The organization becomes a place of compliance, not commitment.

👉 HR Lesson: Fear-based cultures may deliver quick compliance, but they will never produce innovation or sustainable success. True accountability builds trust, not terror.

Nigerian Assassin Series - Week 2

Dear readers,

#Because it's Week 2 of the Nigerian Assassin Series

#Friday #October #TGIF

The Deadline and the Check-in

In Keep or Kill, Kiki is given six hours to eliminate her target. No extensions. No excuses. The pressure is immense, and as the clock ticks, the weight of the deadline begins to compromise her judgment. Mistakes feel inevitable.

Many employees live this reality daily — impossible deadlines, relentless pressure, and leadership that equates speed with success. Yes, urgency matters. But when every task is treated like a life-or-death mission, quality and morale collapse. People stop performing at their best and start performing just to survive.

👉 HR Lesson: Unrealistic deadlines create burnout and bad results. Leaders must balance urgency with sustainability, ensuring that pressure fuels productivity, not panic.

Nigerian Assassin Series - Week 1

Dear readers,

#Because it's Week 1 of the Nigerian Assassin Series

#Friday #October #TGIF

When Attraction Conflicts with Duty

Kiki is a skilled assassin — trained, disciplined, and loyal to her boss. But when she discovers that her next target is Mekus Money, her long-time crush, everything changes. Her professionalism collides with her emotions, and suddenly, the mission is no longer just about the code of the Mirror People.

In organizations, we often face similar conflicts of interest. An employee has to evaluate a friend, manage a relative, or make a tough call that affects someone close to them. Without clear boundaries, emotions can cloud judgment and compromise integrity.

👉 HR Lesson: Personal feelings don’t erase professional responsibilities. Organizations need policies, training, and accountability structures to protect fairness when emotions collide with duty.

5 Series, 5 Months Campaign - Intro to Series 3

Dear readers,

#Because it’s Nigeria’s 65th Independence Day today! Not the number of books 😁 

#October #NewMonth #HappyIndependence 

What happens when you run an organization where mistakes mean death, loyalty is everything, and performance reviews end with a gunshot?

Welcome to the Nigerian Assassin Series – October’s feature in the 5 Series, 5 Months campaign, where HR Meets the Underworld. 

Born from a Wattpad contest in 2019, what began as one short story spiralled into five gripping books — each weaving love, danger, choices, and consequences. And through it all, one truth emerges: every organization, even a criminal one, needs HR.

Series Description: A woman has to choose between doing her job and keeping the man of her dreams alive. Any decision she makes comes with a consequence.

The journey of this series will conclude (for now) with a bold twist: The Assassin’s Rule Book — coming soon.

This is no ordinary story. It’s a handbook. A manifesto. A chilling yet fascinating look at the 100 rules that govern the Mirror People, the deadliest organization in fiction. And while these rules are written for killers, the lessons reflect real workplace principles about loyalty, accountability, and culture.

October is for assassins, and for HR. Each Friday, I’ll share lessons from Keep or Kill, the book that started it all, written during one of Lagos State’s notorious gridlocks, where two hours of standstill traffic became a burst of creativity instead of frustration.

Grab a free copy of Keep Or Kill HERE and join me as Fiction meets Function this Friday.
