International Day of the Girl Child: Educate the Girl Child for The Nation to Prosper
Of all the women in the world, Oprah Winfrey is a standout. She is a perfect blend of the beauty and brain. Hers is the validation of the fact that the DNA of women is not wired to be an intellectual vegetable nor are her hands veined only to chop vegetables. But rather, when placed […]
Reporter’s Dairy: My Adventure As An Election Observer In Osun
The local government area where I observed the September 22nd governorship election was Oriade. The headquarters is at Ijebu-Jesa, unarguably the largest town in the area. The town had seventeen polling units. Like a classical Greek polis, the other surrounding towns are not as developed as this place. But each of this relatively small towns […]
Nigeria @ 58: The dilemma of a nation – Growing up or Growing older?
As one begins to witness changes even beyond the physical composition in the growing metamorphosis, it whispers promises of freedom but, however, Nigeria at 58 raises a question: is the nation is growing up or growing older?

What are we saying? What are we writing? If it avoids the critical topics of the society, it’s not journalism. If it is not willing to step on toes, it is public relations. George Orwell said it all by defining it as a profession which prints what others don’t want to be printed. All others […]
The Revelation of Employability after the Genesis of Big Grade Points
“Employability means that students have acquired the knowledge; skills, attributes, reflective disposition, and identity that they need to succeed in the workforce. The mark of a truly world-class institution is measured by what its graduates do after leaving”. Professor Idowu Olayinka had said this at the master class program which held on June 29 and […]
FOR THE NOBLE NIGERIA: Thanking Our Leaders of Honour
I remember being once told, a long time ago, about two men who happened to be victims of different but not unrelated experiences.
