Education in Nigeria: An Open Letter To Help The Next Generation

Image
Dear Readers, Spiraling off from my post on vices , these past two weeks had been spent to help as many foundations that assist survivors or the less privileged survive, get better and secure a better future by settling their hospital bills, family or even their education. In doing this, I came across a tweet on an academic foundation whose major aim is to tackle the failing education system in Nigeria. The Vickies foundation’s contribution might seem like a drop in the ocean to some people, but the basis of some vices that have been occurring in Nigeria is due to the lack of appropriate education. There was a video of a cleric who claimed the age for consent for the girl child is age 6. This was sad to see, especially because that is the level of exposure they have. This could be as a result of ethnical or religious manipulation, lack of information or proper education. Hence, in the little ways we can, we should help foundations with genuine platforms to reach out, educate, and h...

Vices: Say No To Rape

Image
The winding out of the month of May for me was overwhelming. Not just personally but in the world at large. Imagine planning things to do and then the Holy Spirit says to trust him and chill. Yes, that has been my ordeal. Paramount to that has been my prayers for every victim of rape, racism and any other vices, especially those who have lost their lives, been subdued, watched the culprit roam free, forgiven and have being bold to tell their stories to encourage others. I for one had to ruminate on my near-experiences with rape as a child, teenager and a youth, which I had been helped by someone older or found my way out of just in time for an escape. Filtering through social media this past week has enlightened me on some of the root causes of vices, especially how we can help others out in our little ways. Growing up, there had been records of boys “tapping current” from girls by hitting their butts, which would be followed with either a warning, tears or a resounding slap,...

COVID-19: Media Outrages

Image
In this pandemic, the use of, and access to social media has been both a blessing and a curse. The novelty of the virus, panic of re-infection, slow pace of scientific discovery and controlled messages from the CDC’s of different countries has led to people turning to every/any information they can get on the virus from social media. Consequently, we are facing an unprecedented crisis of public understanding on the subject matter and the reliance on information from social media is at the heart this. This led to a surge of misinformation during the outbreak due to rumors, conspiracy theories, politics and other exaggerated medical claims. The major media outrages on the pandemic focused on the following: Anti-vaccinations; Conspiracy theories; Government coverage; Death-tollisms; Social media censorship; Social media regulations; Predictions of the pandemic’s aftermath; Economic recession forecasts; and The pace of technology and forced innovations in all sector...

Shooting shots 💨

Image
Hi Hi. Trust we might have seen different posts on twitter as regards this. Lmaoooooo. 😂 Shooting one's shot is really tasking (for both sexes) as that cannot influence the choice of the "shotee" LooooooooooooooL 😂 Well, the thing here is it encourages you to be bold - kinda like stepping out of your comfort zone to compliment someone and in the long term, propose a relationship. Shots are hard biko! But the beautiful thing is at times you get a very good and polite response, but at other times, very rude and belligerent people. O jamilara je! 😤 My first experience - oh yeah!, I have 2 experiences 😢 - (mi o meni ran mi nise) of shooting my shot was with my ultimate crush since secondary school, thankfully, he was polite and that finally helped kill the crush. However, ghen ghen! The second shot eh, very stressful something! In summary, NEVER AGAIN! 🙈🙉🙊 ArahMAC

LIFE

Image
Hi Guys, A few years back I set a list of things to accomplish but as I grew older things really don't go how I plan it to. but in all I am really grateful for life, the places I have been, the friends I have made or lost, the academic and professional heights, the references I have gotten as setbacks, the breakups and the gift of life. thankful for growth, some things really get to me while surprisingly some don't. lol. the rants. the maturity. the fear. the hustle. the leadership. the learning. etc. better days ahead, most definitely!! my song of the moment -- eleko by Mayorkun (DMW)
