TRIVALENCE

In any sphere of life anybody wants to break into, there are always role models and mentors to emulate and learn from; need for and how to search for one is innate. A child would crawl to pick things himself as it sees others do, would want to walk to be like the rest around him, and talk as he sees them do. A child born of a deaf mother is ensure to be raised in a community of people who can speak, for him/her to be able to speak - everybody needs a role model and mentor - lad and lass are not exempted. ''What would you like to study?'' I asked a boy attending JAMB tutorial. ''Food technology'' he replied. I was surprised, but been aware of what makes a lot of students choose the course they are studying, I asked ''You have someone who is studying/studied the course?'' He replied affirmative. ''The person is like a mentor and role model to you?'' He nodded in agreement. Eveybody needs a role model and mentor as a guid...

Enough of deceit! Success is no one's my birth right. There are rich people who became poor and poor people who became rich. The better side of the table is where everyone prays to be sitted when the table turns. There is a long existing adage which is a common say among religious faithful, 'that success is the right of everyone'   ̶  and that is the ideal - so let us face the reality. Although, I am still pretty young but my existence in life has been shaped by personal experiences, biography, autobiography and recorded interview of highly successful individuals, which made me realize that success is to be earned through consistent, deliberate and rigorous hard work. The decision to pay the price is solemnly your responsibility and intelligent property. Success itself is a prize; needful to say, I believe in the existence of luck but I don’t wait for it to present itself. Success is hinged on the ability to perceive the future, and to work towards it in the m...

The National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) latest result stated that ' Nigeria Unemployment rate is 13.9% compare to Djibouti's 50% (highest in the world) and Qatar's 0.1% (the lowest in the world) '. A research conducted by Asuquo and Agboola, 2014 published in American Journal of Educational Research titled ''Nigerian Universities outputs and their employability in the labour market in South - South Nigeria'' also butressed the fact, quoted ''Employability of Nigerian Universities output based on the responses of their employers was significantly below average''. The researchers argued the University curriculum should be ameliorated to make its graduates employable, meaning all graduates need to graduate with qualifications 'Beyond School Certificate, BSC' and not just the graphic designed paper students strive for. It is no news again that the job most graduates do after graduation is during their NYSC before the drought ...

Who would lend me ears? Who will listen to my Lamentation? The 18th century produced researchers The 19th century produced Gurus The 20th century produced Writers I smell our century producing BABIES My 21st century where many have Handset but few have mindset My 21st Century where many prefer side talk to “mind talk” My 21st century where many stream but few Dream My 21st century culture ruptures but pictures are nurtured My 21st century where many pings but few think When will we realize? Our Fathers had a remarkable century Our fathers were Ingenious What will the next century say about us? “No more Einstein?”   “No more Aristotle? Who will wake us up?Can’t we see; we will stumble! Let’s all wake up and work up to set about a new record setting apart distractions and setting up a PROMINENT CENTURY. Why not drop the flop and shop for the top! Let's stop being the babies we are and start metamorphosing the Leader we are meant to be.

Gender equality is like a log being tried to balance on a pin - the best description of how our society treats ladies compare to men. Gender equality appears as battle with no 'very soon' possibility of winning. It makes me sad when I hear the female being referred to as 'the endangered specie'. Our society taught us that men are stronger, wiser and helpful, not because of any obvious reason(s) but because of beliefs like women are too emotional and less rational. And the same society has forgotten that the reason why a man is less emotional is because he  was made to believe such. As a man, he shouldn’t cry and show emotions, he is expected to carry all the weight and forge ahead like nothing is happening, and this does nothing but build up frustration in a man, because, piling up issues doesn’t help. At the end of the day, the women are more emotional because they let their feelings out the moment they get them. Should we go down to gender difference? A woman go...

It is funny that I can not stop laughing at myself for the ning-nong idiosycrasy I participate in. There are things we try to learn and others we strive to unlearn. Moreover, in spite of our failure, we continue fighting this losing battle. Let me ask you the following questions, be sincere with your answers: 1) Who taught you how to be happy? 2) What is his name, who told you when to be sad? 3) Can you remember her face, who told you there is nothing pleasurable as being in love; killing like being betrayed and ditched? 4) Do you remember their address, those who taught you how to cry? 5) Who his teacher was, he who taught you good and bad? Doubt anyone can have an answer except 'NO' to any of the above questions. None of these were learned: Happiness, Sorrow, Sadness, Love, Passion, Hatred and Desire - why try to unlearn what you did not learn - trying to fix what was not spoilt. They are innate! Everything is in you, like the application on your phone; you do ...
