A New Month as Zuckerberg's Walk in Lagos Wakes Me

Just as the month of August was coming to an end, Mark Zuckerburg the founder and CEO of Facebook flew into Lagos, Nigeria. The various social media platforms went agog. At a point yesterday, I checked twitter and discovered that Yaba was trending just because Mark whom I like to call Mr Facebook, trekked through the street.

From the pictures I saw especially on twitter, there were no visible sign of security personnel neither was it recorded that there was a helicopter hovering around Yaba area at the time. Mr Facebook walked in the company of his friends and few press men. From one of the aerial shots taken, a person selling pure water sachet could even be seen not too far away from him and his companions.

The Land is GREEN

If you don’t know, the land is green and greener shall it become… Amen.
Happy birthday Nigeria ...but you are getting too old o…lol.  Friends, I love my country, I no go lie, is just that sometimes Naija can vex someborri shaa. But this day, I chose to look away from all the challenges and wahala in Nigeria and look on to God who holds the future of our country and give him the glory for the assurance of taking our country to where it is meant to be and I know deep in my heart that the journey has fully become and Nigeria will rise again… sure, the process has begun.

What Becomes of Jobs for Graduate?

Jobs in Nigeria could be as scarce as fuel has been (or even more) these past few days. Many of our youth upon graduation, still spend so many years in search of a job. The governments over the years and through various past administrations have promised to provide jobs for the people and it’s been story upon story all the way. The rate of joblessness in the land is evident in the level of crime and restiveness being experienced on a day-to-day basis; when one stays jobless for a long time, he could easily be swayed into crime and other societal ills (abi? An idle mind is the devils workshop).

GIS: Job for Unemployed Graduates

Our higher institutions produce numerous graduates repeatedly every year. With high hopes and great expectations they are sent off into the labour market (or is it favour market?), to find a job. At this point, reality begins to dawn on (most of) them. They go to all kinds of places and do all kinds of things to try and secure a job. They now start understanding why Chike, Miriam and Bayo have been at home, two years now since they graduated. Confusion and frustration sets in, and the hopes continually thins out.

When will I fit in?

This passing week has been the longest for me since the year began. If someone ever told me that it would come to this, I wouldn't have believed…and to think that life has just began, makes me desire better times ahead.

Life of Nigerians Should Come First

In the past few days, the foreign and local press has been filled with news of the killing of 17 people in France and the coverage was massive. Leaders from different nations including our own president, Goodluck Jonathan sent consolatory messages to the president and the people of France over the unfortunate incident.
