AS 2019 BATCH B STREAM 1 CORP MEMBERS EXIT THE NYSC

-
The National Youths Service Corps was birth after the civil war by the Military administration of the then head of state General Yakubu Gowon on 22nd of May 1973, specifically, to heal the wounds of the civil war. Since its establishment, 47 years ago, young Nigerians have embraced the scheme over the years and have used the platform provided by the service to bring development to their respective communities of deployment. 

I'm particularly elated, that the service year ended successfully for these industrious and indefatigable young men and women of our country. Your sacrifices to your fatherland are very much appreciated and can never be quantified. The communities you diligently served are not unmindful of your contributions. 

Corp members travel hundreds of miles to states and communities they have never been, they are greeted with culture shock, and a new environment they ain't comfortable settling in. Yet, for one year, these young Nigerians leave these communities better than they met them. Through the collaboration of relevant Non governmental organizations, government agencies and other spirited individuals, they build blocks of classrooms, provide pipe borne water, organize health outreaches, and even construct feeder roads and embark on other developmental projects for their host communities. 


Our greatest asset as nation lies in our youthful population. Nigeria may not be the best place to be a young person, but just as you have successfully come out of your service year unscathed, so shall your post service years.

For you to survive and seamlessly fit into the labour market for those who would seek for unavailable jobs and those who would chose the part of entrepreneurship. You must not only think outside the box, but must be proactive. You must continue to learn, embark on personal development, sharpen and improve your skills, be willing to build  collaborations and you must maintain your NYSC contacts, never lose them. At every step in life you would need them. 

The call to service may have legally come to a halt today, for 2019 batch b stream 1 Corp members, but continue to serve your fatherland as much as you can, because the service to one's country never ends. Your input is highly needed to solve the myriad of problems and political malfeasance that have held us backward as a nation. You cannot afford to fail in this regards. 

Congratulations!!!

SALVATION IS HERE.

-
Rom.13.11 - And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed. The lock down of religious centres especially the church has caused a lot of controversy but in times like this, Paul reminds us that now is our salvation nearer than before. Now in your homes, you can still see the salvation power of the Lord.  Now in the market, you can still see the salvation power of the Lord changing the hearts of people. Now, this time! This hour! Despite the lock down, we still see the salvation power of the Lord.  If only,  Thou canst believe, Thou shall see the glory of the Lord.  If only,  We awake out of our sleep, We will see God's salvation power. Selah, God bless you. Pastor Olugbami Emmanuel  Markudi  Emmanuelosiaabomo@gmail.com

LATE P.N.B DANIA, A QUINTESSENTIAL EDUCATIONIST

Am still trying to find the right words to convey how I feel about your demise. Daddy was so dedicated to his duties as a father and a teacher.  Years may have rolled by, but you will forever remain indelible in our hearts. I remembered my first day at Mayfair, the school you tenaciously built from the scratch, I wasn't really happy leaving home for a boarding school, but daddy was very supportive and I promptly settled. I haven't seen a teacher who is as committed as you were, and I do not think I can find another as diligent and dutiful as you.  Its pertinent to note that, for everyday that I spent under your guidance and tutelage, you instilled in all of us, the essence of time, the need to be clean and ensure our environments are tidy and the need to push, to be better than we were the previous day. For six years, even at old age, you will wake us up by 4 am, ensure we are present for your 7am class, and no matter how large the  population in class was, you will still...

NOW THAT NIGERIA IS POLIO FREE

Poliomyelitis is an infectious disease caused by the polio virus. it literally causes the muscles weakness and in most times results in inability of victims most especially young people to walk. For decades, Nigeria and the rest of Africa have battled this disease without and in sight. This is partly due to the expletive tendencies of our health policies in solving our health challenges.    It would be fiendish and illogical if we blame government and her institutions alone for the endemic polio disease that has ravaged  our country in years and negatively swayed the future of millions of kids notably in Northern Nigeria. According to the   International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies,  Nigeria’s northern states are the last reservoir of naturally occurring wild polio virus in Africa.  The states of Borno, Adamawa, Yobe, Kaduna, Kano and Katsina, are especially at high risk, mainly due to the mobile nature of the population. This me...
