Restructure Nigeria now – Olu Falae

Elder statesman and former minister of finance, Chief Olu Falae has cautioned that Nigeria must be restructured before the next general elections in 2019. The octogenarian, who was also the presidential candidate of the Alliance for Democracy, AD in the 1999 presidential election believes that for the country to move forward, she must go back to the 1963 constitution. According to him, what he is clamouring for is that everyone should remain in Nigeria, but it would be a more balanced Nigeria, where the ethnic groups are free to pursue their priorities. Speaking with Daily Sun, Falae said, “Most people are not interested in an election, if it is going to take place within this un-restructured Nigeria. The election would produce the same injustice and uncertainty. We must restructure before 2019. “Those who did not want it did not have free education. Chief Awolowo decided to have the Muslim Western Board to take care of the Western people going to Mecca. The other people did not have it. Fine! We decided to have a House of Chiefs and the East did not want to have one and there was no problem. That is what we need. Nobody should be forced to behave like another person. Uniformity does not mean unity. This is because we are different people with different objectives, cultures and values. “A heterogeneous society cannot operate a unitary government. Look at Britain that is our former colonial power, they are of the same race, colour, religion, language and culture and yet today, you have four governments in Britain. They include the parliament in Scotland, the Assembly in Cardiff, the Parliament in Northern Ireland and the Westminster defacto federal government. So Britain itself has gone into a federation although they are homogeneous. Here we have about 600 different ethnic groups, not the same culture, not the same language and you want to treat us as a homogeneous country and a unitary government. It is not possible. It does not make sense.”

7 Things You Need To Know Before Gaining Admission Into The University.

Of a true fact it is said that the expectations of an individual when cut short, due to unexpected flamy situations either due to the fact that what he/she meets is below his/her expectation or too high than his/her plans is enough demoralization to hunt failure and desert success. On an average getting into the university environment is not as bitter as a lot of people will like to define it to your hearing, you know why ? Good, mainly because of the fact that the setting of your mind before coming in will determine if you’ll be able to handle what ever you meet that might want to call itself an obstacle, One major break down to remember as we begin to harness the list is that; where you are coming into is a universe, a country, a town, and a community on its own not neglecting the fact that its an academic setting. Expect anything but bear in mind these 7 things: 1. YOU ARE NOT IN SCHOOL FOR THE CHURCHY THINGS: You will like to dispute the fact with this statement; but are you aware that there is a huge difference between being RELIGIOUS and being CHURCHY/MOSQUEY as the case may be, always remember the fact that you were first a student, before the fellowship/gathering found you, so church duties should not stand in the way of your success. 2. YOU ARE NOT IN SCHOOL TO MAKE FRIENDS: Hmmm…….. Seriously ?? You’ll say; yes !. If making friends happen to be your main priority you, are one step ahead of being busy for nothing. No doubt friendship makes the world go round and fun to live in, yet bear in mind that no one will make you a friend if u are not a student, and when you journey in the path of failure. 3. GET READY TO AVOID RELATIONSHIP DISTRACTIONS: This is mostly common to the guys being the foundation of the problem, Don’t be deceived you’ll find beautiful girls/ladies that will entice you as a normal guy, but remember the fact that you can’t bare two things for your mind and emotions to work on it’s one at a time you either get engaged while you sink academically or float academically and let girls follow and admire you. To the ladies don’t be deceived never let them get you because it actually unnecessary, for one guy to take advantage of you all in the name of fun. True love is rare but the one’s interested in the hole between your legs is REAL, so decide… 4. ASSIGNMENTS AND CLASS ATTENDANCE ARE IMPORTANT NOT NECESSARY: You will by now know what an assignment and class attendance means, no new meaning it is the same from your secondary school. They are important because it constitute your continuous assessment for the semester which in most times acts like a grade saver, and not necessary in the sense that No one should or must threaten you for not doing any assignment even the lecturer. You are in the university now and there nothing hurts like your negative decisions. 5. NO ONE CARES WHO YOU ARE, OR WHAT SCORES FOR ENTERING THE UNIVERSITY IS: Just as you must have heard that in the university, you are as free as oxygen in air, remember that you need to respect every individual you met on campus because as a fresher as most schools will call the new in takes. Mild respect tho not to the extent of embarrassing your self. Most importantly forget the fact that you graduated from the best secondary school in the country, or that you were the senior prefect in there actually no one cares all they care about surprisingly is what you have as a treasure in you that you have to share, present your self as being useless and you’ll be taken as that. Remember that first impression lasts long also fake nothing to avoid nemesis. 6. YOUR ACADEMIC CAREER IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN ANY POLITICAL AMBITION: Quote this any where and stand by the fact that being in power any political position is fun and always memorable but don’t forget also that you are first a student before you are qualified to be elected and that main objective you need to satisfy convincingly. I am not trying to kill your moral for it but pls work on your studies even while you aim at that, because at the end what you are able to achieve after your 4 – 5 years in school matters a lot not your political power or leadership qualities. Even tho most times it reflects depending on the position held and it varies from school to school. 7. GET READY FOR FUN CATCHING AND GET CARRIED AWAY: Now we are at the main point that a lot of people will look forward to harnessing when they finally get into school. It is advisable to be out going but not to the extreme. Catch your fun when necessary but never forget to return to your book as soon as the fun is over. All work and no play will make you a dull individual. With all these being said I’ll like to tell you to get ready to get developed, and grow. Be open to learn new things from your colleagues that know about them especially things that are of interest to you surprisingly it might not cost you much cash except more of your free time, unlike you learning them from outside. Don’t graduate from the school with your result alone, graduate a new and developed individual. KEEP MIND THAT YOU ARE THE AVERAGE OF THE FIRST THREE FRIENDS YOU MAKE WHEN YOU GET INTO THAT SCHOOL.
