-
Sound Sleep is a state of having the bests of ones natural and periodic state of rest in which the persons consciousness of the world is totally suspended. Sound sleep is one of the best way of coming off stress. According to World Health Organisation (WHO), an average adult needs a minimum of eight hours of sleep daily. Recent advances such as urbanization, Internet, lifestyle, technology has reduced the duration of this much needed rest in adults to five to six hours and some even lower.

ACADEMIC RESEARCH IN NIGERIAN UNIVERSITIES: A GOLDMINE IN THE REFUSE BIN

-
Academic Research is an essential 6-units (or more) course in Nigerian Universities. It is done as a way of exposing undergraduate and Postgraduate students to research and hence, development. Research work gives the student the standard exposure they need to excel well in their field of study. They are to work on an area of interest in which they are being supervised on the procedure, observations and reporting of their research. Many problem solving researches are being published daily which if invested into, will bring about national development and economic growth. From time immemorial, University research works has only been seen as a means to get a degree and move on to graduation. This has made it a necessity to only students when they are carrying out the project with the high hopes of abandoning it after submission or publishing. Nigeria is a nation blessed with brilliant people who has mind blowing ideas, but lacks Technocratic leaders who will see an opportunity in every s

NIGERIAN PARENTS AND CAREER TOXICITY

-
In every family and regardless of their background, a large percentage of a child's future is highly dependent on the knowledge, wisdom and moral values instilled on the child while growing up. A childs choice of career should be self-decided but can only be guided and supported by parents provided it is ethical and of positive moral values. Recent advances in Nigeria has shown that parents are the pivot for decision making as to a childs career. It is no stale knowledge that every Nigerian parents wants their ward to pursue a career in professional fields such as Medicine, Law, Engineering, Architecture just to mention a few without considering the childs innate ability that are either talents or gift. Some parents/guardian wants their ward to pursue a particular career in order to succeed the position they occupy. They believe that maximum respect is accorded to those who practice the aforementioned careers, thereby making them occupy a niche at the helms of affairs in the soci

THE YOUNG DESERVES RESPECT TOO

-
Respect is not just a courteous expression of regard to an elder or some behaviour intended to please parents. In many African cultures, total [or partial] disregard of respect towards the young [especially children in this sense] is exhibited by the people. In actual sense, and subjectively, that is not the true nature of respect. This same respect they say, is reciprocal; of course it is a cliche from western culture but it is a valid statement. If respect is reciprocal then the young [especially children] being brought up to respect elders must also be respected. In fact, a one year old kid has the particular respect he/she deserves, and when this is not rendered, then it could be necessary to subject the situation to an investigation about possible abuse of the child. Showing respect to the young builds up their self-esteem and the bitter truth is that one of the necessary qualities needed to achieve some set goals in life and make dreams "come true" is self-esteem.

LEADERSHIP, THE NIGERIAN SITUATION AND LESSONS FROM RWANDA

-
Between 7th April 1994 and 15th July 1994, the combined murder of Rwanda’s president, Juvenal Habyarimana and The Hutu president of the neighboring Burundi, Cyprien Ntaryamira sparked the reprisal killing of an estimated eight hundred thousand (800,000) people of the minority Tutsi, Twa and moderate Hutu clans – an equivalence of the country’s 70% total population. This evil act was perpetrated by government-backed forces in the army, police, militias and other armed civilians of the Hutu clan.  According to History, It is not a subject of debate anymore that the genocide had being planned at least a year prior to the time.  Twenty five years on, Rwanda has moved on from the nightmare and is gradually becoming a model of economic development for all other African countries. The strife for development is being chaired by Paul Kagame, a member of the Tutsi clan who became the country’s president in year 2000. Though making considerable progress, Kagame has been widely criticized for hi

RACISM: THE MENACE ABOUT TO SINK FOOTBALL

-
Football, the beautiful round-leather game, has united the world for more than a century. The game was introduced to The Olympics in 1900 and has been held on every occasion since then apart from the 1932 Los Angeles Games in The United States; in the same vein, the first edition of a FIFA football competition involving the whole world – FIFA World Cup – was held in Uruguay in the year 1930. Since then, football has evolved and developed to one of the best [if not the best] grossing games in the world. Football has been a source of income and mean of livelihood for the whites and blacks alike, but since its inception in the global scene and the time blacks start going professional, a discrimination tagged “racism” has been a hindrance to the emotional well-being of footballers, development and smooth running of the game. Several football players and officials – majorly of the African and Semitic descents – have being the targets of racial slurs from fans, officials and fellow footbal
