Gone are those days when you practically fight for your independence as a nation to be free. History is repleted with bloody account of independence battles. Apart from Nigeria,where a 22year old Enahoro raised his hand in the assembly to move a motion for the country's independence and subsequently adopted,most nations fought tooth and nails to get theirs.
Some fifth columnists have concluded that our systemic failure as a nation is attributable to our 'on the platter of gold' independence. Guess marriages and divorces run on same philosophy.
By Friday last week, the world woke up to discover that the Scots has by a resounding referendum decided to stay with with United Kingdom, though,leaving the kingdom a little less United. There is no denying that there is now a chink in the armor. The European Union will be particularly interested and like a vulture, it will be circling pending the eventual death of the kingdom.
The yes vote will have a chain reaction effect on the European economy where the great British pound is a determinant in the politics of that region. How this development will affect the dwindling political power and influence of the United Kingdom in world politics remains to be seen.
While we all join her majesty queen, Wales, and the rest of the world in emphatizing with the Scots on the outcome of the referendum, let us ponder over similar situation in the hospitality industry.
We all know that relationship between hotel owners and hotel consultants have always been stormy. With trust lacking, it is just a matter of time before things start going awry. Parting ways between these two has never been by referendum because there will often be a lot of banter trading sequel to eventual separation.
Apart from being open to each other, having a comprehensive contract and building on trust there is hardly any other way of improving relationship between both parties. Sadly,this is a time bound relationship and going separate ways can only be delayed but not denied.
We can only wish the Scots the very best.
