VISIT NIGERIA, AFRICA'S HOME OF TOURISM

-
 Over the years, majority of Nigerians have never hidden their preference to travel outside the country for tourism. According to figures released by the Cental Bank of Nigeria, Nigerians spent over 9.01 billion dollars on foreign travels in 2009 alone. If these lush funds were retained here in Nigeria, it can turn around the entire tourism and travels sub sectors of our dwindling economy.
Interestingly, many players in the tourism and hospitality sub-sectors in Nigeria agree that the sector can contribute meaningfully to foreign exchange earnings and help balance our national economy and set it on the part of growth. Nigeria, no doubts, is a potential tourist paradise which boasts of good tropical weather, variety of wildlife, awe-inspiring waterfalls, historical relics, captivity beaches and rolling hills, coupled with the warm-hearted and culturally active people.

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...
