NEGATIVE EFFECT OF EXAMINATION MALPRACTICE ON A NATION AND THE PEOPLE DOING IT.

     With what I have seen, there is no future for a nation where examination is celebrated as Nigeria, someone might say, why are my negatively affirmative? I will tell you, a nation success and glory is in her people, they make the nation. If they are at their best, the nation will be in such state and if otherwise, you know what to expect.      The attitude of the students who knows that they will be helped in their forth coming examination, cannot bring out the best of them. The education system in Nigeria, is in much decadence, that answers are written for them, objective answers are called for them. What hope is in this kind of education, that an SS2 student cannot defend herself in good grammar. What an education system! That mars instead of making. They pay less attention to their teachers, they care less about reading, these attitudes cannot help them develop mentally, talk less of becoming an intelligent property to the nation. ...

Whatever God says about you is superior to what any other person, whether spirit or human is saying concerning you.       He knows your deepest mind and when He speaks, He speaks, his mind, his will for us not a guess thought or a free word . As a believer, all you need to do is to believe him. He has spoken, that is the very say, the real say, the final say. Now many things challenge humanity, many words come against  you, amidst all these, you must believe, what God say concerning you and you won't suffer long. Even death is put is put to death by His word. "I shall not die but live, to declare the word of the LORD in the land of the living" You should not have business failure, "whatsoever you lay your hand will prosper" You cannot be barren, "Non sh...

SworDYouths

This youthful time. The youthful age is the most vital in the stages of ones life, there the life of one take it shape, what one moulds ones life to be  at this stage, determines what  one will end up being in life, if there is no change. It is a stage of strength, where one can drive ones vision at it peak, put in major of ones time and best of one strength, regardless of the gender.     One thing I have noticed is that, most of the things people want to tell youths is all about relationship. Yes it is good but they  refuse to let the youths know, that just one of them is worth, gate, wright brothers, Abraham Lincoln, dangote, Einstein, Shakespeare and lots of great men and women who had move the world.

SHE STOOD ALL LONG II

Hmmm! Sorrow filled Ajike's mind, she had been the only one taking care of her children since her husband died. And now, Aina her only daughter was pregnant for a teenager like her. Ajike had promised the four of them a good life as much as she could try. All the support promised by friends and family when her husband died, was no where to be found. She did all she could, working on her husband's farm as no one strove with her to take her husband property. If any did, the god of his house will strike such. Ajike did not give his children farm work alone, she gave them opportunity to choose a vocation. So they work in the morning on the farm and learnt their vocation in the evening. What Aina did added to her load but she determined not to allow her dreams over her children to fail. With the support of the mother and other siblings Aina was learning as well as following her mother to the farm. When the pregnancy was advanced, she had little strength to do hard works.    ...

EDUCATION; NIGERIA AND ADVANCED COUNTRIES

There is no definition of education that surpasses it being an enlightening experience, which involves the giving, and receiving of systematic instructions. There are two sides to education and they are giving and receiving. Receiving in this stance means learning from a higher source of knowledge and not just learning but also having a complete understanding of the information or instructions that are being divulged from this higher source of knowledge. Giving here means a higher source of knowledge impacting other people with knowledge from the abundance of its own mind. It is however important to state here that giving and receiving can be from a higher source of knowledge and also a lower source of knowledge, anyone is allowed to impact knowledge in the field of learning. If education will ever work there has to be a higher source of knowledge that keeps filling refilling itself. The educational system have changed so much in recent times that knowledge from the previous year may...

DESPERATE SINGLES

Marriage is the prayer of the  singles, they want to have the joy of being with the one they love forever till death do them apart. At certain age, the society expect one to marry. If he or she is not. They become head news for gossips. Family begin to ask questions and the single began to get pressured, becoming desperate, and sometimes,wanting a spouse by any means. In this, they make mistakes. They accept who they see, not thoroughly checking if the person have the quality they wanted in a spouse. The bid to just get out of that challenge they are facing covers their sense of reasonings. There they go with those who do not have anything for their future. Note this, be  major decision of one's life should not be made in desperation. Then they fall into a ditch by getting married to who will break their teeth with good punches, some who will starve them or the one that will make them less of human. It is bitter experience for those who have falling a prey of desperation. ...
