Realities of Today Blog: A Nigerian Initiative for Enlightenment

The beauty and strength of every living nation of today lies in its human resource turnout yearly but the realities differ from across the globe with the Nigerian experience a thing of concern. The once celebrated set of people “Graduates” in Nigerian state of then saddled with hope, are now the much worried set of people today.  It was noted then that at the point of graduation there comes the good tidings of life (good standard of living – accommodation, wealth, fame and lots more). What has happened to the good old days? Do you care to know? REMEMBER, Change is the only constant thing in life.  Nevertheless, the drastic changes that took place over the years had reflections in all facet of human endeavour particularly the life of graduates. Although, the predictive odd (proliferation of tertiary institutions, availability of little or no industry to absorb the turnout rate, lack of foreign investors, lackadaisical attitude of the government towards the future leaders “If

Let it be echoed that all living entity (nation) had a touch of madness absorbed and taken in as a lifestyle in the world today. The touch started somewhere, somehow found its way through discovery, diffusion, and culture contact into the life of people which had been passed from one generation to the other. Although there is an element of sane in their insanity the acceptability of the latter surpasses the former. Globally, the riches of today are mostly accumulated through “insanity” which at one time been massively frowned at. What “insanity ponder in your heart? Are you lost here or kept in the dark? Are you bothered about the degree/extent of the sprawl of the global touch “madness”? Have you finally lost your mind?. Get on the track and let’s see through the insanity of today. Insanity today can be seen in actions and reactions of people within their callings/vocations/passion. It is therefore reflective in the life of a person going against the code and conduct of his

  The irony of life remains “soldier go, soldier come”. The world had witnessed the demise of people from across the globe with a little or no significant impact. The same way people move around the world, that same way they leave (mysteriously) with or without any traces.  It is thus observed, some individual had come into the world as if they created it due to their distinctive criteria – fearlessness, utterances, actions and reactions towards issues. In simplicity, their lifestyles does not gel with that of an ordinary being because they possess and demonstrated their uniqueness on different platforms viz; music (singing/dancing), literature (poem/poetry), art/craft (drawings), public speaking (politics, economy, religion). Above all, their impact during and beyond their existence left the world in an apologetic state. A lot had been said and done since the dawn of time which had led to restructuring of the social systems, re-orientation of human race, exposing of secrets

Achieving success in life is craved by all and sundry from anywhere in the world but diverse factors within and outside the individual can scupper the so-called dream. By the virtue of birth, some people has lived long enough on the face of the earth without knowing bitterness ( financial breakdown ) while the latter part of an individual strives day and night to make ends meet regardless of their helpless state. Note, the concern here is not the silver-spooned fellow but rather the less privileged who has no option to choose from when the economy floats progressively or retrogressively. It is thus essential to challenge the less privilege due to their disadvantaged position to survive in a " breathtaking " economy.          It is no longer news that handy work combined with distinct creativity served as the only way out of unemployment, poverty and its antecedents. This is sequel to say, individual skill/talents/ is the only tool that can salvage them from slavery wh

          The grand architect of the universe designated numerous things that cannot be manipulated or change at any point in time regardless of the scientific state of human existence. This is sequel to say, human intellectual paucity or capacity are limited to certain end from any occupant in the whims and caprices of the universe.           Without mincing words, nature is powerful from any angle of its analysis although human efforts – psychologically had made significant alterations to it but some lacunae are still observable. In simplicity, nature cum natural gift is beyond the manipulations of man, because it can only be felt except those that can be touched. Relatively, examples are natural beauties (Sun, Stars, Moon, Wind, Rain…) and natural disasters (Hurricane, Tsunami, Earthquake…).           Realities recorded so far in human path to stardom had either been a positive terrain or a negative black out. Whatever the experience of man is, it remains a part of him. N

By ranking and statistics, nations of the world occupy one position or the other by self-actualization or through developmental tendencies. Nigeria as a yardstick of evaluation is globally known or called the “Giant of Africa”.  Literally, a giant assumed an extraordinary power above its counterparts. The contrary is the case in Nigeria due to the challenges facing the strength and growth of the GIANT. Amidst all controversies, there lies greatness in the nation due to her beauty and richness in many walks of life. Statistically, the nation has the highest number of manpower in Africa ranging from the skilled, semi-skilled to the unskilled labour.  However, the peculiarity of the occupants is their unequalled talents, skills in all fields of life (science inclusive) across the globe. The utilization of such talents/skills is a necessity for achieving sustainable development in Nigeria but brain drain as against brain gain is a major limitation amongst other.  Across the

Living does not make any sense when people are not privileged to interact with themselves on a day to day basis in any of their endeavours; social, economical, political, cultural and so on. The platform of such interaction differs from place to place and time to time respectively. In other words, life will be tasking and unrealistic if communication is taken out of it. Communication from any point of view connotes the flow of information from one person to another through any medium available to the sender and the receiver. Its effectiveness, therefore, ensures the message passed from the sender is digested and interpreted appropriately by the receiver. Mediums of communication from the earliest time were through looks, gestures, speeches, signs. Globalisation has therefore improved the channel of communication in developing and developed nations of the world vis; television, radio, telephone, internet e.t.c Aside, the face-to-face interaction within the basic social structur
