To verify fallacy is almost as difficult as upholding the facts. The penetration of fake news and malicious statements has evaded media scrutiny such that the hardship makes it almost impossible to believe every piece of information released from their stable. It is even more difficult with political invasion in most media houses. Affiliates of some of these political parties take turns to release propaganda for the unsuspected masses to react to. These fallible stories have become penchants that most individuals are unaware of the reality. The pendulum is swinging so fast that we almost do not know the time…

There is a commitment for the citizens as much as there is for the leadership: the level of passing blame about the recent exodus of some of the strongholds of our dear nation is troubling. The concerns wouldn’t be that people are moving in droves but that they go with so much experience acquired in this country to service the foreign economy. The neglect of this menace is quite disheartening much less to refer to the desolation of some duties as found in our organisations. The migration index of some of the Nigerian technology-savvy individuals has reduced the key performance index of…
Taking time to critically evaluate through difficulties of learning and teaching is most abiding with the right tools and resources for as much as the best practices are well expressed. It becomes worrisome with quacks enabling roles that are specifically outlined for professionals. Interchanging roles shouldn’t be extended to ethical roles that are well stated in the rule-book of education. It is unfair to expect an educational amateur to deliver the best practices in education without biases and nemesis. It is most commonly expected that the travails of the education system are intrusive and may be highly manipulative. The level…
The deteriorating state of our health sector deserves the searchlight of curiosity as the worrisome level of attention from medical personnel makes it difficult to suggest the source of this predicament. The exodus of these medical workers in search of saner clime is seen as a principal force militating against the development in this department. Shifting blame between their employer and the administrators has become normal as the degenerating status remains. The contributory factors may be generic because the problem is not nascent. From state health centres to federal medical institutions, the lapses are almost similar. The claim by some…
Hopelessness is a striking indicator of futility in deeds and precarious situations. A total despondency is wriggled when the light is almost evasive at the end of a tunnel. As crucial as it may appear to have a change of government, the level of desperation of office seekers shouldn’t produce apathy with voters. Taking the leap of sustaining the trust of electorates is diminishing in the act of failures. Bogus manifestos, doctored intentions and abbreviated thoughts are the protracted predicaments of the masses. Exchange of individuals of the same thoughts and ideas but inadvertently found in different parties for the…
The parable of the lost coin in the holy book comes to mind when the issues of Nigeria’s poor state are to be discussed. The country is not a failed system as many claim it is. It is a mismanaged entity taken through scarcity acclaimed to be poverty-ridden. The perception is said to be wrong with a nation regarded to be the “giant of Africa”. Not a sleeping giant but a strong nation with almost impotent ministries subjected to apathy by selfishness and indiscriminate distribution of roles to office holders. The economy would thrive with intentions geared towards objectivity and…
If you’re going to live, leave a legacy. Make a mark on the world that can’t be erased – Maya Angelou (1928-2014), Poet and civil rights activist. What you leave behind is not what is engraved in stone monuments, but what is woven into the lives of others – Pericles (495-429 BC), Greek Statesman. The parlance that describes individuals of greater values and contributions to the world, tagged to be GOAT (Greatest Of All Times), may not be exempting persons from the teaching profession. Those who have sacrificed for the training of others to become worthwhile in life and have…
Civility warrants orderliness and decorum of all kinds in its entirety to foster peace. It is fair to recognise the sanity that aligns with mankind. The force for compliance from those in authority may appear personal rather than objective. Sorely, many receivers of molestation and harassment from various office holders have never found reason to speak out for help. It is either the system permits silence or the person in office is paying hugely to mute the victims from making the matter loud enough to be heard by the law or the enforcers. The gimmicks continue in a cycle of…
The highest form of participation in irregularities has been associated with a regimental way of life that could be likened to a religious lifestyle similar to unprecedented attachment to create serious indescribable offences. Specific checks on the level of decadence in Africa have brought to fore the insensitivity of leadership to a sense of affiliation to humanity rather than beliefs. Ardent followers of some religion have shown some characteristics similar to that of those who find pleasure in malpractices and other sharp practices. The choices are clear with whether to steal or to pilfer without maiming. To be affiliated with…
It becomes violent to the victim when the force of superiority becomes so evident in the sufferer who has been helpless for defence due to sentiments or prejudice to tradition embedded in a toxic relationship. It is in the interest of the target to identify the shades of violence to abolish the acts of oppression in all cases of insincerity to mankind. The sting of pain that aggravates to death is painful enough to tear apart the once lovely built home and gives a loud torrent of division which may never be reconstituted. The seed had been sown since the…
Olusegun Fashakin Life, most claim, is not balanced and this unfairness is presumably tagged with occurrences of uncertainty with various hard nuts to crack. Life portends puzzles with clues very hard to unravel; for many, the chances of proffering solutions become cumbersome and rigorous, so the essence of life jeopardised. The walks of life are seemingly distorted without appropriate destination which creates doubts and imminent upheavals. Definition of living determines the assessment threshold of your abundance. The spate of scarcity is so evident in most individuals, if not all, when the proof of owning all you desire is queried. You…
