Education / Re: If You Had Your Junior Secondary In The Early Nineties You Are Probably Familiar by frodobee: 5:44pm On Oct 18, 2016 |
Funny enough I was a science student, but my late mum loved literature a lot and passed it on to me. I remember playing Antonio in Shakespeare's Ceaser and Odewale in The Gods are Not To Blame. My favourite lines in Caesar when Antonio addressed the Roman's at the Capitol after Caesar's death he said "Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears. I come to bury Caesar, not to praise him. The evil that men do lives after them; The good is oft interrèd with their bones. So let it be with Caesar. The noble Brutus Hath told you Caesar was ambitious. If it were so, it was a grievous fault, and so grievously hath Caesar answered it. Here, under leave of Brutus and the rest— For Brutus is an honorable man; So are they all, all honorable men— Come I to speak in Caesar’s funeral. He was my friend, faithful and just to me. But Brutus says he was ambitious, And Brutus is an honorable man. He hath brought many captives home to Rome Whose ransoms did the general coffers fill." In the Gods are not to blame, I played Odewale and I remember my favourite after the Ifa priest confirmed my paternity I took hold of the floor and began on a strong but sorrowful note "no no, do not blame the gods, let no one blame the powers my people. Learn from my faults. The powers would have failed if I would not let them use me. They knew my weaknesses, the weaknesses of a man easily goes to the defense of his tribe against others. I once slew a man in my farm in Ede, I would have spared him,but he spat on my tribe. He spat on the tribe I thought was my own tribe. The man laughed. And laughing he called me a bush man from the tribe of Ijekun, and I lost my reason. Now I know that that very man was my father, the king who ruled this land before me. It was my run to calm the hurt of my tribe that brought me to this land to do more horrors. (I then plucked my eyes and concluded by saying) give her my wife, my mother, a burial of honour." One funny thing happened when we were preparing for this drama. My school was a missionary sch but we went outof our way to invite a juju priest to teach the guy acting the Ifa priest role how to incant. Omo in our presence this man did incantation and smoke from no where land. We laughed it off. But now I am older, I look back and say mehnnnn. Cc rabzy buffalowings 3 Likes |

Chaulay1: Lawd your post summarised my childhood. In my class, I had a challenge wt two of my mates- who will read the most novels. Fortunately, my Dad was a contractor and publisher. For every single book he supplied, he kept a copy in his library which he bequeathed me. For that I read almost all the books in AWS(african writers series) aside a few- not up to ten. I read biographies, autobiographies, collection of poems, novels etc. Just like you said, almost all the novels mentioned here including the one written by the famous slave Equiano (Equiano's travels). From their I attempted to write my first novel in JSS3, lol. From AWS, to Mills and Boon, to Pacesetters, to Hadley Chase, to 1000+ paged novels, Corgi books, Bantam books, authors like Danielle Steel etc I remember reading an american philosophical novel that changed my views on money, it was written by a lady( I don't know her name again or the name of the novel.) One popular quote or exclammation in that novel is "who's galt?", I just googled it, the novel is 'Atlas Shrugged' by Ayn Rand. People need to read that novel. From their, my banker friend - actually my account manager- introduced me to asian novels. Hmmm, that was when I started soft-pedalling, because I started seeing other worlds and views that can shatter your belief system. In all, it is nostalgic the feeling one gets looking back through the years. Glad to know people walked your path and lived in your dream worlds and shared your loneliness. 1 Like |

Nairaland / General / Mark Zuckerberg’s Visit: Another Feather In Jonathan’s Cap by frodobee: 10:21am On Sep 03, 2016 |
It is important to preface this discourse with this footnote: I wasn’t a fan of former President Jonathan and his team while they were in office. Many of us loved Buhari – the presidential aspirant – to pieces. Having made this clarification, it is heartwarming to see the seed sown by Jonathan’s team sprouting. The vision pursued by Mrs. Omobola Johnson, former minister of telecommunications, has now been noticed by one of the world’s most important figures in ICT, Mark Zuckerberg. All through her tenure, the former telecoms minister argued passionately about the billions of naira that was leaving Nigeria – and is still leaving – as fees to foreign software companies. She believed Nigeria had the capacity to develop and nurture ‘software code warriors’. With Jonathan’s support, Mrs. Omobola Johnson set up two ICT incubation centers to develop Nigerian youths – one in Lagos and the other in Calabar. She encouraged software contests among youths: on one occasion, the winner of the first prize got N2 million. This gesture not only rekindled the passion of youths in ICT, it also impressed in their minds that there was a big future in the ICT space. She didn’t stop there. As minister, she visited Co-Creation Hub (CcHub) frequently. It is not surprising that CcHub was the first place Zuckerberg visited yesterday. In fact, in 2012, on her birthday, she met young developers in CcHub to intimate them of her vision to take software development in Nigeria to the next level. And in 2013, she visited again, with an important venture capitalist, Tony Elemelu. And of course, that visit resulted in more young and euthanistic Nigerians getting grants for their start-ups. At that point, start-ups like BudgIT, Efiko and Naijateenz were already getting the support they needed to survive from Jonathan’s government. Jonathan, through his telecoms minister, gave them all the support they needed. Enthusiasm and passion awakened by the minister and her team has, today, attracted Mark Zuckerberg. Zuckerberg says he is in Nigeria to learn and take back to California. Interesting, isn’t it? One thing is clear: Jonathan and his team believed in the youth. They didn’t just celebrate the youths because their numbers could influence elections, but because they truly believed in their potentials. In the words of Jonathan, these are the people who will take “Nigeria to the moon’’. Zuckerberg’s visit reaffirms the strength of Nigeria’s human resources. A resource, many believe, has not been properly harnessed because of the quality of our educational institutions. But Nigerians are resilient and could be enterprising, if given the right atmosphere. Many young people tell me that they learnt nothing from their Nigerian professors at the universities. Probably, they delved into the pursuit of the kind of knowledge being celebrated by Zuckerberg today because of their resilience and hunger for knowledge. Today, there are some mass communication graduates who you could confuse for computer science graduates. Also, the business dimension of Zuckerberg’s visit should not be ignored. With over 16 million users, Nigeria remains Facebook’s biggest market in Africa. There is no doubt that the business intends to grow this market. So far, the company has launched many products in the Nigeria. I hope Zuckerberg gets all the support he needs when he visits the president. [Reports say he is likely to visit President Buhari before living Nigeria]. And, the $24 million investment in a Nigerian-born company called Andela, whose first business premises was a stone throw from CcHub’s, by the Zuckerbergs sends some important messages. One, many tech companies of this nature, such as Jobberman and BudgIT, have the capacity of impacting enormously on Nigeria’s economy by attracting huge foreign inflows. The country badly needs such inflow of dollars. Two, the founder(s) of Andela might have been inspired by Omobola Johnson’s strategy. Andela is actually a coding school which trains young people and passes them on to big companies – a model similar to what the former information minister was spearheading. Credit should be given to former President Jonathan for taking on board, and encouraging, a very competent and knowledgeable woman. Ahem, one little confession: I didn’t think this amazon knew what she was doing while she was pursuing her dream for software development in Nigeria. This is a topic for another day. Apparently, the lackluster performance of some her colleagues beclouded her achievements. On a final note, it’s important that President Buhari continues from where Jonathan’s government stopped. The first step should be to encourage and compel MDAs, and even Nigerian banks, to use local software, whenever they are available, for their operations. This would save Nigeria from massive capital outflows- Nigeria spends over N400 billion naira yearly as software fees to mostly Indian and European companies.
