THE NIGERIAN COMMONERS CAN MAKE THINGS RIGHT

-

I remember when i got home during a vacation months ago, i didn't like the condition of the compound so i started complaining—almost ranting like a toddler displaying tantrum. I continued complaining for days until my mum asked: what have you done to improve the condition of the compound since the last two days? Why can't you  yourself get some things done? Immediately a "lag" came into me and when it was time to sleep at night i couldn't do so on time—i was reflecting on those two questions i was asked. Next morning i started doing a lot to get things back to the conditions they were.
Those two questions are apllicable to all the commoners in Nigeria. You all complain about the situation of the country but what are the actions you are taking to make things right? Government alone can't make Nigeria a better place; in fact, the commoners can do better because they're better preponderantly. You as a commoner can start doing somethings to make things right.
Its a pity "a lot of the Nigerian commoners are adding insults to the numerous injuries of the country" through their way of life.
Change your way of life! You're a trader do not hike prices unnecessarily and never use false balance; you're a farmer pay your labourers at when due; you're a teacher teach those pupils/students with all your might; you're a student do all you can to earn good grades so you'd acquire the necessary knowledge required to become a patriotic citizen.
Get those corrupt practices shunned and then Nigeria would be a good place to live in for everyone and the coming generation!

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.

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

THE ORIGIN OF YORUBA PEOPLE (INHABITANTS OF SOUTHWESTERN NIGERIA)

-
The Yoruba people are the inhabitants of the Southwestern geo-political zone of Nigeria. A considerable number of the people are found in the northern region—precisely Kogi and Kwara states—some are also "the aborigines' of a part of Benin Republic. Today, many Yoruba speaking people are found in Brazil because their ancestors were victims of the Portuguese's slave trade which started in the fifteenth century. If not for the efforts of Granville Sharp, Thomas Clarkson and William Wilberforce—the men who led a body of Englishmen that laboured to convert the parliament then to their efforts of getting slave trade eradicated—the Yoruba nation would have almost been totally depopulated before the nineteenth century. Today, the states inhabited by the Yoruba people in Nigeria are all the Southwestern states—Oyo, Osun, Ogun, Ondo, Ekiti and Lagos states. A lot of people [and scholars] have given their accounts of the origin of the Yoruba people. One of them is the legend whic
