Proposal for Instituting Effective Computer Education in Nigerian Public Secondary Schools

PREAMBLE
During my time as Uredo House Junior Captain in Federal Government College, Ugwolawo, Kogi State (Year 2003/2004), a handful of my juniors were Computer literate. Whenever these computer literate students disagreed on the procedure for getting a task done on a computer they turned to me, their House Captain for clarity and final say. Each time this happened, I pacified them not to argue – I had not held a mouse at the time. Shortly after graduating from Secondary school, I enrolled for Computer training.

Years later, I undertook my one year National Youth Service at Ijaloke Grammar School, in Emure-Ekiti, Ekiti State. Upon resumption at Ijaloke, I was taken aback by the Vice principal confirmation that the school lived in the typewriters age. At this revelation, I requested her to reject my posting with the intent of seeking for a Place of Primary Assignment at the State Capital – Ado Ekiti. The Vice principal convinced me to stay back to create the change I wanted to see. I accepted the challenge.

I led the effort that got the Schools administrative block reconnected to PHCN, set up a computer room and became the pioneer computer room teacher. Before then, I had adopted a Computer training center within the community where I introduced selected students to basic Computer application. The arrangement was possible with the support from the Center owner, Ayodele Cephas and an elite group within the community that donated NGN 20,000 for fueling the generator. Ekiti State Government under the administration of Governor Kayode Fayemi, donated two (2) new Desktop computers to the School.

I left Emure fulfilled, the school had an active computer training room with 5 Computers, 30 students knowledgeable in basic Application Software – Microsoft Word, Powerpoint and Excel. Typing and printing of Examination questions became domiciled in the school.

In 2017, many public schools remain in the typewriters age. Some of them manage to teach computer theory. This development is largely due to a lack of commitment and coordinated effort in ensuring that Public school students are grounded in Computer application upon graduation.

My Emure-Ekiti experience afforded me firsthand experience of how effective computer education can be institutionalized in Nigerian public schools. This is important in an age that the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) is administered by Computer Based Test. More important is the realization that computer education in an ICT age is empowerment and must have skill.

Given the foregoing, I am putting forward this proposal to you and request your financial and moral support in making it a reality.

THE PROPOSAL
• Institute practical, hands-on computer training in Nigerian Public Secondary Schools.
• Training to include computer programming for interested students
• Introduce Graphic Designing to Fine Arts Curricular
• Introduce Digital Marketing to Secondary School Students.
METHODOLOGY
• Design/Prepare a training Curricula – in Progress.
• Get selected schools to set aside a building for computer education.
• Equip computer room with at least 20 Desktops Computer/Laptop. With support from government, philanthropist, old students’ associations, individuals and corporate bodies.
• Trainers will largely be Corps members. They will earn allowance for their efforts and commitment. Youths within the affected communities can also volunteer to support the project.

STAKEHOLDERS
1. Old Students Associations
2. Parent Teacher Associations
3. Corporate Organisations
4. Community Associations/Groups
5. Philanthropists
6. Federal/State Ministry of Education

STOPGAP PLAN
To form alignment with identified Computer training centers within communities to train selected students at subsidized rate. Training fees to be provided by sponsors – Individuals, Corporate organisations, Community leaders etc

APPEAL
I call upon all Nigerians to support this project by doing any of the following:
1. Sponsor at least one child for Computer training at a cost of NGN 10,000.
2. Donate Desktop Computer/Laptop to this project.
3. Use your sphere of influence to initiate this project within your community.
4. Contribute ideas on how to actualize this plan within your immediate community.

All contributions to this project will be duly acknowledged. Regular reports will be given on the implementation and beneficiaries. Lets do this for posterity and the betterment of the Nigerian Child. Thank You.

For sponsorship/enquiries/support you can reach me via mirthfemi@gmail.com & 07052193183

History is always there staring people in the eyes but they would like to twist the course. Tell me why apart From Oba Aka (who became king as a result of conspiracy) is the only non-Ilajo king in Kabba history. Why is not written anywhere in history that a non-Odolu man became Obajemu and why has Obadofin never been rotated? I think you should also say Omodos are entitled to the crown of Obaro since its a free for all. I am not an Ilajo man for your info but I am a student of history

Profsomeday... you need to go back to study your history. I may not be wrong to tag you a baby history student. I will come back to school you about the Obaro stool in Kabba history and provide resources and evidence to show that the Obaro stool used to rotate amongst the clans. Please dont spread junk, poisoned history.

The lioness sights the excited cub and wondered where he wandered to, she queried, “Where have you been and what gets you so excited?”. “Mum, I wandered to the plains; I had fun playing with my new friend”. Looking at the cub with tender eyes, the curious lioness asked, “New friend…, tell me about your new friend”. “It’s a kid (baby goat) mum”. “Oh mine! That’s game! You can’t be friends with a kid, you ate goat meat for dinner last night, the next time you are out to the plains, kill the kid and let us feast”.

One day, the cub was back to the plains and sighted the kid from afar. Sighting the cub, the kid retreated and had a flash back to their first meeting and his mother’s advise.

“Mum, I have a new playmate”. “Really, tell me about your new mate”. “It’s a cub…” she hardly let him complete the statement…. “My goodness! Where did you meet a cub, next time you meet one, Run! Run!!! Run for your dear life, they are not our friends, they will never be”.

Looking in the direction of the cub, the kid announced, “Do not come any close, I am not in the mood to play”. He continued, “My mother told me what your mother told you”.

I listened to the story at a restaurant earlier this week. A man narrated it to his friends over a plate of pepper soup while trying to make a point. I found the story absorbing and interesting.

It dawned on me that Nigeria, a country made up of many tribes and ethnic groups mirror the cub and kid. We have listened to different accounts from our “mothers” and allowed these stories tear us apart. Stories of how yorubas are not reliable. Stories of how Igbos are arrogant, proud and don’t like to pay their rents. Stories of how Hausas are the problem of this country……

Maybe there are elements of fact in these stories. However, having spent many years interacting with Nigerians from different ethnic groups, I can safely say that there is strength and beauty in our diversity. We cannot continue to stereotype ourselves; it creates a fertile ground for division, hatred and distrust.

Visionless and looting leaders are the beneficiaries of our lingering gullibility. The day we unite as citizens and demand for good leadership, Nigeria will get out of the woods.

Nigerians Unite!

God Bless Nigeria. God bless you.

Recently, I have been contacted by friends to outline the information required for preparing a business profile. For the benefits of young entrepreneurs and to contribute to the information available on the subject, I have decided to share my knowledge on Business Profile preparation in a simple and non-academic style. Please note that the information provided is a guide and not a one size fit all template. The content and structure of a business profile depends on an organizations industry.

A Business Profile can simply be defined as an organisations “Curriculum Vitae”. It serves one/all of the following purpose;

+Requirement for a Tender Submission
+Tool for Business Development efforts
+Record for keeping track of organisations history/activities.

It answers the questions prospective clients needs to know about your business. Questions like, what you do? How competent your company is? Why they should patronize your services?

A typical Business Profile includes the following:
+Title Page

Chuks had recently completed his service year and relocated from Enugu to Lagos in search of a white collar Job. He lives with Segun, his secondary school mate. Since his arrival to Lagos they cruised in Segun’s Car.

Two weeks after his arrival, Segun had a week long business engagement in Ibadan; he tutored Chuks on how to use the Danfo bus. When you get to your Bus Stop, say “O wa”. Laughing, Chuks dismissed his advice saying, “That should not be a problem”.

It happened that Chuks boarded a Danfo bus heading from Onipanu to CMS, Lagos Island. As the Danfo approached Stadium Bus Stop, Surulere where he should alight and continue to Bode Thomas with a Kepe Napep, Chuks turned down the volume of the music blasting from his headset and signaled the bus conductor; “Am good here” he said in his typical low pitch Queens English accent. The bus conductor smiled at him admiringly; guessing he was miming a song. Getting agitated, Chuks tried to recollect Segun’s lecture and screamed, “Sho wa…?”
Sighting Chuks through the front mirror the driver queried his Conductor, “Kabiru, se bobo yen wa ok sha (Kabiru, I hope that passenger is alright?). When Chuks recalled “O wa!” the Danfo was approaching Costain Bus Stop.

Remember I.K Dairo’s Song…? “When you dey reach your bus stop make you shout Well Well, O wa, O wa”. O wa means, “I am alighting”. Literal translation means, “There is” – Don’t say there is O.

Moral of this Story
When you get to a new place, learn the tradition and culture of the people. If you are good at learning a new language, learn to speak their language.

“Darling, the room is hot can we turn on the generator for an hour?” “There is no fuel in the generator” replied Kola, he continued, “You know I am yet to be paid January salary, we can’t afford to run the generator as we used too”. Kola pulled off his shirt and stepped out to get fresh air. He called his children, “Gbenga! Uju!” join me outside; tell your mother that the weather is cool here.

Juliet reluctantly joined her husband and children. In the course of their interaction, Juliet suggested, “Darling, I am thinking that we should start a hand fan business, what do you think?” Kola’s face brightened, she continued “I can sell to young mothers who visit the antenatal clinic, you may also get a market for them at your workplace. “Brilliant idea…. that’s my Juli, Juli….!” exclaimed Kola. Gbenga, a primary 4 pupil, had an idea too, “Mummy, I will sell one to my aunty in school”.

To escape the heat of recession, you should consider “pulling off” your cloths by cutting down on unnecessary spend and finding a legitimate alternative means of income. Only then will you realize that the weather is cool outside. Think of the service(s) to provide to earn additional income and “fuel your generator” – meet your needs.

Look around you, what needs can you meet? What services can you provide? What problems do you anticipate in the near, distant future… can you provide solutions to them? Borrowing the words of Strive Masiyiwa, “Go where the need is greatest and help the smallest”, Think global, act local!

I look forward to hearing your success story.

Sincerely yours.

My friend, Aboje Ocholofu talks about preserving our Mother tongue in an interview with Television Continental (TVC). Are you making any effort to preserve your mother tongue or you are one of those Mothers/Fathers/Uncles/Aunties without tongue?

I am particularly disturbed about the preference of English names to our indigenous names by young parents. Anastasia, Fredrick, Derrick, Serena chosen over beautiful names like Ufedo, Ife, Ayo, Ebun, Ngozi etc

My country people, make Oyibo no take everything wey we get from us na. I love my local dialect, Owe Language.. Can you speak and write your dialect?

What are you doing to preserve your Mother tongue?

Heading home from the adjoining street to my house, I caught sight of two ladies talking, smiling and gesticulating. It appeared they were on the lookout for a Taxi. I kept my ears open as I walked past them.

The taller of the two ladies revealed to the other, “I am not comfortable wearing this dress”. I turned my head to see her dress; a pink flowery patterned dress revealing her spotless, fair skin and just long enough to cover her bum. She was struggling to maintain her balance on a 6 inch ankle shoe. Her friend chuckled at her confession and said reassuringly, “You’d soon get used to wearing it”.

As I continued my walk home, “I am not comfortable wearing this dress” resurfaced on my mind. The lady models a new convert to the “runs girl” business. It was a Friday night; she’s probably on her first assignment – to a strip club or sugar daddy’s place.

In my meditation, this part of scriptures came to mind,” Don't copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God's will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect” (Romans 12:2) – New Living Translation.

As recession bites hard, individuals once seen as upright, honest and reliable are beginning to waver. I am here to encourage such individuals; hold onto your good values.

A good name is still better than gold and riches. Turn to God, be creative, network, unleash your talents and pray. The days of recession are numbered; you’d triumph in Jesus Name (Amen).

Hold On!

“Excuse me”, our eyeballs met as I turned in her direction, she plead “please I want to drink water”. Her looks portrays a 25 years old cut away from friends and family, a loner who lives in her own world. I saw in her eyes, a soul whose life is shaped by an absence of love and care; she has embraced lack and lives in the moment.

“How many pure water do you need?” I asked, “One” she replied. It is a sad reality that millions of Nigerians cannot afford a meal per day, a condition attributable to ineffective leadership, impoverished mindset and ailing educational system.

An impoverished mindset makes a man crave for “free money” and acquire stupendous wealth through corrupt, questionable means and abuse of office. The proliferation of MMM and it derivatives speaks volume of our values. The Abacha, Ibori’s, diezani and recently Yakubu’s of this world are merely a reflection of our value system. There are millions of them in the Civil Service, the National Assembly etc but what shall it profit a man to acquire so much wealth without owning any business? Not even a pure water factory!

The Dangote’s of this world still access bank loans to expand their businesses, not so with the Yakubu’s who form 90% of the Nigerian population. Kleptomaniac looters who find themselves in government positions, they attempt to steal for themselves and their unborn generation.

In Genesis 1:28, God charged you and me “To be fruitful and multiply”. This charge has been constrained to mean procreation. Our nation is currently experiencing a steady rise in population that is unmatched with good leadership, a development that holds disaster if left unchecked. Is there more to “be fruitful and multiply” than child bearing?

There is a dearth of mentorship in our nation because privileged and successful citizens, entrepreneurs and supposed elders have failed to be fruitful, they have failed to multiply. On a closer look, be fruitful and multiply is what leadership is all about.

As Nigerians, when God buried Iron Ore, Lead, Barite, and Crude Oil underneath our soil, He commanded us to be fruitful and multiply. He meant explore, refine and process these resources, export some to earn foreign exchange, create products for your use and build social infrastructures for the good of all.

In the Parable of Talents (Matt 25:14-30) Jesus told a parable of a master who travelled and entrusted his property to his servants. According to their abilities, one servant received five talents, the second servant received two talents, and the third servant received one talent. A talent was a significant amount of money. Upon his return, the master asks his three servants for an account of the talents entrusted to them. The first and the second servants explained that they put their talents to work and had doubled the value of the property with which they were entrusted; each servant was rewarded:

The master said to the fruitful servants, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant. You have been faithful over a little; I will set you over much. Enter into the joy of your master.’— (Matt 25:14) New English Translation

The third servant, however, had merely hidden his talent, by burying it in the ground, and was punished by his master.

Dear Nigerian, God is saying to you today, “be fruitful and multiply”. It is the only lasting solution to the recession that we face as individuals and as a nation.

Be Fruitful and Multiply!

“How far BabT, are you set for the Lagos trip” queried Johnson. “Lagos…” I mused, “What is happening in Lagos?” He clarified, “You are one of those shortlisted for a job test with Ariosh”. Ariosh is a Lagos based Engineering, Procurement, Construction and Installation (EPCI) Company that has a yearly tradition of testing and interviewing the top 10 final year undergraduates from the Faculty of Engineering, University of Ilorin, Nigeria; specifically from Mechanical, Electrical and Civil Engineering Departments. It is said that one of the founders is an alumnus of University of Ilorin.

The job test notice was within a short period, the list was pasted on a Thursday and the test scheduled for Saturday. I reached out to one of my course mate who was selected for the test. “Hi Greg, don’t you think we should all set out for Lagos in the same bus?” Greg one of the analytical minds my class boasts of, responded frankly, “BabT, what if there is an accident? I weigh issues from two sides, the positive and the negative” he continued, “let us find our way to Lagos individually”. Still desiring to travel with at least one of my course mates, I approached Clement who confirmed that he sets out for his trips first thing in the morning when the road was less busy, his preference was at variance with my traveling philosophy – all that matters when I travel is safe arrival, the time of arrival is of less importance.

Later that evening, I bought a “my clear bag”, prepared and printed my CV and packed my bag. I looked forward to the Lagos trip and hoped that my Industrial Training experience with International Energy Services Ltd (IESL) will give me an edge. My Industrial Training experience got me hungry for the corporate world. I was counting days to become a graduate. The Ariosh prospect was a welcomed development. Here is what my Industrial Training looked like.

INDUSTRIAL TRAINING
INTERNATIONAL ENERGY SERVICES LTD – IESL (June 2008 – Dec 2008)

On my first day at IESL branch office at Plot 1661 Oyin Jolayemi Street, Victoria Island, Lagos, I was dressed in a white T-shirt and blue baggy jean. While waiting at the reception to complete the required formalities, I watched smartly dressed men and women use the exit. My T-shirt, Afro hair and Baggy jean which were ‘acceptable’ norm within the campus stood me out. This development saw me overhaul my wardrobe.

IESL offered me a firsthand work experience. The resumption time was 7am; all employees are expected to be punctual irrespective of their residential location. I lived in Lekki, getting to work early was not a challenge, motorcycles (Okada) were not out of bound at the time.

Before reporting to the Mechanical Department of IESL, I was selected to attend a 2 weeks training on Caesar II Software for pipe stress analysis. The training held at IESL Headquarters at No. 94 Awolowo Road, Ikoyi, Lagos. During the training, I had free breakfast and lunch and was paid training allowance. It came to me as a big deal, being fed and paid to attend training. If this is what being an employee is about, what was I still doing as an undergraduate?

Upon completion of the training, I was assigned a workstation and got on well with the mechanical department team. Being a multidisciplinary engineering company, I had a good experience of the interrelationship between the engineering disciplines – Process, Civil, Mechanical, Electrical, and Instrumentation. I learnt to use AutoCAD Software for drafting, how to calculate duct sizes for HVAC installations on a rig and how to interpret engineering drawings.

On a personal note, I began learning Hypertext Markup Language (HTML), it signaled the beginning to my web development background, The Mechanical engineering lead ones mistook me for a ‘Yahoo-Yahoo’ protégé given the time I spent on the computer and the undivided attention I committed to it.

I learnt that the company was owned by Dr. Fawibe, an economist who favoured training his staff not minding the possibility of them leaving the company for another one offering higher pay. Read more about my Industrial Training experience on my eduportal.

TOWER ALUMINIUM

My second Industrial training experience was with Tower Aluminium, a foremost aluminium products company in Nigeria and West Africa. A family friend introduced me to his friend who gave me a note to the Human Resource Manager. On my visit to the Human Resource Manager, she handed me a plain A4 paper and requested me to write an application letter. I completed the application in no time, her face lightened as she read the application. I could sense she was impressed. Looking away from the application she said, “Are you aware we do not pay allowance to Industrial trainee students?” I hid my disappointment behind a faint smile and replied, “Yes ma”. She continued “You can resume at our Oregun factory next week”.

On my first day at Tower Aluminium Oregun factory, I reported to the Human Resource Manager who introduced me to the Head of Operations. My experience at Tower Aluminium was a contrast to IESL. The factory is a large building with about 5 offices – the head of operations, Human resource Manager, the medical officer, the Quality Control office and Store. The main building was an open space with machines, production lines and factory workers stationed at various points along the production line. There is a mechanical workshop where worn out equipment parts are machined and repaired.

I walked round the factory with my Samsung Camera phone recording and observing the pot and Kettle manufacturing processes. The factory workers were diligent in their work and spoke in hush tone. They mistook my identity as an inspector who was taking note of their performance. It was a huge relief when they found out that I was an Industrial Trainee.

The Mechanical Workshop was integral to the production process, fabrication of machine parts were carried out at the workshop. The head of the Workshop never liked me; a development attributable to the Human Resource Manager oversight of not introducing me to the Mechanical Workshop team. He took the omission as a slight to his office and made me suffer for an offence I did not commit. This cost me valuable experience. He related with me like a foreigner, my attempts to win him over were futile.

His Assistant, Baba Ibeji (Father of Twins) as he was popularly called, liked me. He lectured me on workshop practices and introduced the workshop tools, their names, sizes and functions. He taught me how to use a pipe wrench for threading. During a practical session, I broke a pipe wrench; the incidence marked an end to my practicals at the Mechanical Workshop.

I met and became friends with Abiodun, a fair complexioned, slim and hardworking factory worker, our discussion revealed that he was studying Economics at the University of Lagos and used the monies gotten from the factory to sponsor his education. He worked on the punching machine, used to punch holes on pots at the point where the handles are riveted.

One word that stood out at the factory was SAFETY. I recall reading a notice on the factory wall that outlined compensation for operators who lose their fingers to the Press Machine. Throughout my Industrial Training period, I observed the Press Machine from a distance. No amount was worth my body part. I heard accounts of operators who lost their thumbs to absent-mindedness while operating the press machine.

Having had two contrasting work experience with International Energy Services Ltd and Tower Aluminium, I was eager to join the world of work, my dream was to work with an Engineering firm like International Energy Services Ltd.

LAGOS TRIP

I left Ilorin for Lagos around 1pm; coincidentally I traveled in the same bus with Greg. He had an Engineering Math text as companion. He tried to get me to join him in studying, “BabT, what is the velocity of…” I declined with tact, “Abeg leave me joor. I am not in the mood to task my brain for the velocity a plane traveled. Why should an oil serving firm ask such question?” He continued with his studies.

I was ‘entertained’ during the journey by supposedly love birds whose relationship went sour during the trip. At a point, the guy forcefully seized the girl’s phone and flung it out of the Bus. Both of them tore at each other, the driver had to pull over to calm their nerves.

I arrived Ojota, Lagos by 6pm and made for Bode Thomas where I passed the Night….
