The Lord is with you always

Image
Regardless of your travails and challenges, do not allow your faith to waiver, you will overcome them. Genesis 39 1 And Joseph was brought down to Egypt; and Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh, captain of the guard, an Egyptian, bought him of the hands of the Ishmeelites, which had brought him down thither. 2 And the LORD was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous man; and he was in the house of his master the Egyptian. 3 And his master saw that the LORD  was  with him, and that the LORD made all that he did to prosper in his hand. 4 And Joseph found grace in his sight, and he served him: and he made him overseer over his house, and all  that  he had he put into his hand. 5 And it came to pass from the time  that  he had made him overseer in his house, and over all that he had, that the LORD blessed the Egyptian's house for Joseph's sake; and the blessing of the LORD was upon all that he had in the house, and in the field. 6 And he left all that he had in Joseph...

Revenue Generation as a Priority

  In 1974, the committee of Vice Chancellors of Nigerian Universities put in place a panel of the two admissions experts-Mr. L. R Kay, Secretary, Universities Central Council on Admissions of the United Kingdom and Mr. Pettipierre, Director of Ontario Universities Application Center of the province of Ontario, Canada-to examine issues and problems arising from the system of admissions into universities then. The panel submitted its report to the committee. Sometime in February 1976, the Federal Military Government also put in place the National Committee on University Entrance, with Mr. Michael. S. Angulu as Chairperson, the committee comprised of 14 other members, who represented various other interests and bodies related to matriculation examinations, university placement and post-secondary education in the country. In February 1977, the Angulu-led committee submitted its report and recommendations. After going through the recommendations, the committee of Vice Chancellors, the N...

In the Interest of Digital Literacy

Image
  In Nigeria, millions of citizens, most especially the poor and vulnerable, remain without internet access.  For a long time, internet users have had to put up with very substandard services.  This is as a result of inefficiency and inadequate infrastructure.  Sadly, most of those who are fortunate to have internet access use it negatively.  Indeed, digital literacy is a major challenge across the country and this has translated to limited internet use in most sectors of the economy.  Youths have taken to crime due to the attitude of the leadership at all levels of government, while pornographic content has exposed minors to immoral acts. Of worry, is the lack of funding for research and infrastructure for Information and Communication Technology(ICT) by today's leadership.  The Backbone The Nigerian youth involved in crime is not acting alone, some of those in positions of authority are his or her backbone. This becomes glaring when an individual tak...

The Omnipresent

Image
  We cannot avoid God's assignment for us. God is everywhere and His love is so great.  Genesis 28 And Isaac called Jacob, and blessed him, and charged him, and said unto him, Thou shalt not take a wife of the daughters of Canaan. 2 Arise, go to Padanaram, to the house of Bethuel thy mother's father; and take thee a wife from thence of the daughters of Laban thy mother's brother. 3 And God Almighty bless thee, and make thee fruitful, and multiply thee, that thou mayest be a multitude of people; 4 And give thee the blessing of Abraham, to thee, and to thy seed with thee; that thou mayest inherit the land wherein thou art a stranger, which God gave unto Abraham. 5 And Isaac sent away Jacob: and he went to Padanaram unto Laban, son of Bethuel the Syrian, the brother of Rebekah, Jacob's and Esau's mother. 6 When Esau saw that Isaac had blessed Jacob, and sent him away to Padanaram, to take him a wife from thence; and that as he blessed him he gave him a charge, saying...

The Leadership Challenge

Image
What would aid good governance is not in place. Rather, unnecessary criticism and condemnation of trailing the activities of Those-in-Charge visible are setbacks. Unguarded remarks, utterances and reckless statements and comments amplify the leadership abilities of an individual, positively or negatively. Sadly, the trend among leaders in most climes, is to take positions on sensitive issues without thoughtful analysis of available facts. Indeed, paying attention to details and aspects considered to be irrelevant ensures a very high degree of intelligent fairness that is essential for success in leadership. Mao Zedong, popularly known as Chairman Mao, was successful with his noble goals for China through despotic means. His leadership was severe, dictatorial and personalized. For as long as Chairman Mao's Cultural Revolution lasted, thousands of Chinese died of starvation and inhuman labor. Mao and his co-travelers argued that the same was the price their people had to pay for re-e...

Teach us Thy Paths

Image
We should not relent in prayers for God to teach us His ways. Psalm 25 1 ( A Psalm  of David.) Unto thee, O LORD, do I lift up my soul. 2 O my God, I trust in thee: let me not be ashamed, let not mine enemies triumph over me. 3 Yea, let none that wait on thee be ashamed: let them be ashamed which transgress without cause. 4 Shew me thy ways, O LORD; teach me thy paths. 5 Lead me in thy truth, and teach me: for thou  art  the God of my salvation; on thee do I wait all the day. 6 Remember, O LORD, thy tender mercies and thy lovingkindnesses; for they  have been  ever of old. 7 Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions: according to thy mercy remember thou me for thy goodness' sake, O LORD. 8 Good and upright  is  the LORD: therefore will he teach sinners in the way. 9 The meek will he guide in judgment: and the meek will he teach his way. 10 All the paths of the LORD  are  mercy and truth unto such as keep his covenant and his te...

Calming Frayed Nerves

  The burden of a nation is too multi-dimensional for a single power broker to manage. There are entrenched interests in the military, security services, a section of the judiciary and also the bureaucracy, while the population at large remains distraught and impoverished. Indeed, to inherit a badly managed and shattered economy is disturbing to those who know what is in stock aside from the high level of insecurity. Those-in-Charge need not feign ignorance about the pressing issues at stake, but go all out to tackle the issues, even as reservations, doubts and suspicions grow among the populace by the day. The Situation It is now very glaring that millions of Nigerians-outside the workforce- are contending with hunger, poverty, unemployment and a number of other hardships. This  has resulted into a sizable number the citizens embracing crime as a means to an end. Those -in-charge are only scratching  the surface while the situation deteriorates dail...
