Education / Re: The Traditional Place Of Education In Our Society Is At It's Lowest Ebb by sageb: 4:34pm On Jan 11 |
Teacher70: I'm afraid the place of education in our present society is in grave Danger. I'm really taken aback by the goings-on in our education system. Here is why I said so: Last term, I had a student in a class, a JSS 2 student. This kid is notorious for not doing his home fun and class fun. I had spoken to him in class and also in Private, I made him to understand that it is wrong not to carry out his functions as a student, so he promised to change but he Never did. Now, the sch I teach is a private one, I'm a teacher of Mathematics. And whenever any student fails to update their notes or do their assignments and classwork, the teacher involved, gets the entire blame. I mean the whole blame. I kept getting the blames despite my hard work solely because of this same kid. At a point, I became so furious and had to raise my voice on the child. I didn't flog or punish him, same kid got home & told his parents that I was threatening him. The parents called my boss to report and my Boss called to tell me that I should be easy on the child and that the parents were childless for about 12years in the marriage until they had this same child so they pamper him a lot since he's the only Son. When I heard this, I shook my head and said ok. From that day, I decided not to bother myself again about the child. This term, we resumed on Monday, I gave resumption test and the child didn't write the Test even though he sat for it. While marking I found out he didn't submit at all. I got angry and told him that he MUST do it and submit the next day. When he got home, he said I threatened him and that he wouldn't want to continue schooling here again. Immediately the parents rang my Director, and told him to either sack me or change me to another arm of the class(jss2), else they withdraw their child. Considering my dedication, the director didn't give in to their demands, so they withdrew the child, and the director refunded the sch fees they had already paid. I'm not bragging, I have almost all the experiences required of an ideal teacher. I am not the Best but people know I am Good.i thank God for having the support of my boss. Parents are really killing Education, they are contributing to the fall in the standard of education. It's really very sad. The sad reality đ 1 Like |
Politics / Re: Fulani's Attempt To Annex Oyo Town Didn't Start Today by sageb: 4:05pm On Jan 11 |
AuthorMan: Tribute to Governor Seyi Makinde.
Since 1823, Sokoto Caliphate has had a near obsession to annex Oyo into its estate, using the proxy Emirate at Ilorin.
The first Alaafin to stand up to the Caliphate was Alaafin Amodo, great grand nephew of Alaafin Ajagbo, the Warrior king that Commissioned the first independent Royal army and established the post of Field Marshal [Aare Ona Kakanfo] with the first being Kokoro Gangan.
Amodo could not defeat the invading army. His Warlords were too rebellious to form a Coalition under his banner. He lost one of his leading Warriors in battle with IlorinâŚ. Onikoyi Adegun.
Another king that rose to the occasion was Alaafin OluewuâŚ. He rejected the insistence of Emir Shita, son of Shehu Alimi to accept him as an OverlordâŚ. At his time, the Caliph of the Hausa Empire was Sultan Belo, son of Shehu Usman Dan Fodio. Sultan Belo provided Emir Shita thousands of Calvary Warriors to Swell the ranks of the Ilorin army against Oluewu
Oluewu teamed up with the Baribas and led a successful Campaign to repel Sokoto Caliphate at the 1830 battle of Otefan. He however lost a second War to drive the Emir and his followers out of Ilorin. This was due to treachery amongst his Warlords who feared that when he was done with Ilorin, he would return Oyo to its former glory and bring the Warlords who served as provincial Governors back under the Capital.
Alaafin Oluewu was the last Sovereign at Old Oyo. His Successor, Atiba moved the Capital to Ago Oja. It remains the Seat of Oyo kingdom till today. Alaafin Adeyemi III was a direct descendant of Alaafin Atiba.
Atiba Commissioned two powerful Warrior Cities to resettle the Warriors of Old Oyo. One at Ibadan under his new Bashorun Oluyole and the other at Ijaye under his new Kakanfo Kurunmi where most of the Old Ikoyi Warriors settled.
Bashorun Oluyole put together the army that finally repelled the invading army from the North at the Osogbo War of 1840.
Fast forward to today, Ilorin, with Support from the Sultan at Sokoto infiltrated the Oyomesi to influence the Successor of Adeyemi III. With help from the Chief Imam and MURIC, they put pressure on the Current Bashorun to compromise the process and Select a Prince with Fulani blood who has more loyalty to Usman Dan Fodio than Yoruba heritage on the throneâŚ.. what they could not do through War, they are desperate to do through peace in our time.
Governor Seyi Makinde rejected the process at the risk of his second term in office and insisted on a new selection process with total autonomy of the Oyomesi from Sokoto/Ilorin influence.
These are the kind gatekeepers we desire to lead us in YorubalandâŚ. He thinks in Yoruba and the preservation of his ancestral heritage is sacred to him.
Governor MakindeâŚ. Peace be unto you. May you live longâŚ. History will remember you as the true hero you are.

SimFubaraNews:
The synergy between Rivers and Bayelsa States took center stage as Governor Siminalayi Fubara of Rivers State hosted Bayelsaâs Governor Douye Diri and his entourage at the Government House, Port Harcourt, in a heartwarming Christmas visit.
Gov. Fubara, visibly delighted by the surprise visit, described the longstanding bond between the two states as unbreakable, emphasizing their shared history and identity. "Thereâs no difference between Rivers and Bayelsa. We are one," Fubara stated passionately, pointing out that Bayelsa was carved out of the old Rivers State, making their connection inseparable.
Reflecting on the past and the present, Gov. Fubara highlighted the intertwined destinies of the two states, saying, âOur story isnât complete without Bayelsa. The leaders who shaped Rivers Stateâs foundation hailed from Bayelsa. We must honor this legacy by working together for the prosperity of our region.â
SYNERGY FOR REGIONAL GROWTH
The discussion between the two leaders wasnât just about nostalgia but a forward-looking vision. Fubara stressed the importance of collaboration to sustain development. "A significant number of Bayelsans reside in Rivers. When we develop Rivers, weâre also improving lives in Bayelsa. Growth in one state fuels growth across the region," he affirmed.
Calling for the revitalization of the BRACE Commission, the South-South regional body comprising Bayelsa, Rivers, Akwa Ibom, Cross River, and Edo, Fubara said, âStrengthening this synergy will help us combat regional challenges like crime and insecurity. Together, we can ensure peace and development across the South-South.â
A MESSAGE OF PEACE AND LOVE
Fubaraâs speech was laced with heartfelt advice on leadership and unity. He urged leaders to prioritize love and understanding over conflict, stating, âLeadership is about ruling with love, earning respect, and leaving a legacy of peace. Our region has endured so much, but through faith and unity, weâve overcome.â
Reflecting on past challenges, including the militancy days, Fubara expressed gratitude for the regionâs progress. âBayelsa and Rivers are no longer defined by their turbulent past. Weâve surrendered our struggles to God, and His guidance has strengthened us. What doesnât kill you makes you stronger â Iâm now a General!â he declared with a smile.
REGIONAL SECURITY AND RESPONSIBILITY
Both governors also discussed the need to protect the regionâs oil wealth, a key national treasure. âAs leaders of this oil-rich zone, weâre committed to safeguarding both offshore and onshore assets for the benefit of Nigeria,â Fubara assured.
In his closing remarks, the Rivers governor expressed hope for the new year, saying, âMay 2025 bring prosperity and stronger development for our states. This visit is a testament to the unity we share, and I look forward to more fruitful collaborations with my brother, Governor Douye Diri.â
BACKGROUND
The visit was a follow-up to Governor Fubaraâs earlier New Year visit to Governor Diri on January 3, 2024. During that meeting, both leaders had resolved to work together for the progress of their states and the South-South region at large.

2elliot: You better return it now if you can. Na pure rubbish and you will regret it. P.s. I have a little back issues and so I hated the over soft and bouncy foam I had. I went and bought this semi orthopedic foam that the seller highly recommended for my issue. Omor, the foam hard die. Even sleeping on bare floor is better than this mattress. The annoying part is that I can't move and turn my body. Any spot I lay on, it will go down and then refuse to bounce back once I get up; it takes forever to rise up. I just regret the money I wasted. The sellers are not willing to take it back sef. The foam is already wavy and uneven; the centre has almost collapsed. I will soon get another but just skeptical so that I don't buy rubbish again. Merry Christmas, Binaowei. Any info about that Obunagha-yenagoa job opportunity? |
