Nairaland / General / The First Man In Nigeria To Travel Round The World by damyslim(m): 8:07pm On Nov 09, 2017 |
The name Olabisi Ajala doesn’t really ring a bell to the younger generation of Nigerians, but the older generation would certainly know all about Ajala. He was a Nigerian called Moshood Adisi Olabisi Ajala. He was a renowned globe-trotter, socialite and free lance journalist, who was described in many Nigerian songs as Africa’s greatest traveler. He was born in Ghana, then moved to Nigeria to school and went to the US at age 18 where he started his travels in the 50s. He supposedly went to 87 countries in six years and mostly on his bicycle. People who were close to Ajala, spoke in glowing terms about he’s personality, with he’s trademark long beard, he was referred to as a globe-trotting socialite who put his nation, Nigeria, on the world map because of his drive to explore the unexplored and chart the uncharted. Ajala’s travels got him to wine and dine with heads of states and leaders, including the former Nigerian Prime minister, Tafawa Balewa, the late Greek President amongst others. Way back then in the 70s, Legendary Nigerian musician, Ebenezer Obey even composed a song in he’s honor, with part of the lyrics saying, “Ajala travels all over the world” Olabisi Ajala got married to an Australian wife, who gave him four children who are all based in Australia. Like his travels, Ajala had offsprings scattered all over the world, he also has two children in the United States, and one in England. A Legend Ajala was gone, and not honored. in 1999, he died in his residence, a rented apartment, his grave in Central Lagos isn’t any different from the others. Ko Although it looks like Ajala is gone and already long forgotten, but thanks to his travels, his foot prints are still imprinted on the sands of time. 1 Like |

Education / The State Of Yaba College Of Technology Campus by damyslim(m): 10:22am On Sep 13, 2017 |
THE STATE OF OUR(YABATECH) CAMPUS Greetings to you from the throne of solidarity, I seize this medium to bring to your notice the challenges plaguing us as students of Yaba College of Technology. With downright condemnation, the Dr. Mrs Kudirat-led administration has implemented a truck-load of anti-student policies which are rather obnoxious, outrageous, inglorious, fraudulent and in a manner that has flagrantly disregarded any acceptable form of democratic process. This maladministration is clearly evident and visible to us as Students of the College in areas ranging from astronomical hike in fees for all obtainable payable, poor welfarism of Students and most importantly the suspension of our Students' Union on grounds that are logically unacceptable and are in violation of the fundamental rights of students to freedom of expression and association. The management in other to achieve this inhumane policies, proscribed the S.U.G for an alleged inconclusive election conducted by staff of the college without a report from the electoral committee to affirm this claim. After sending the union on a despotic sabbatical, the management cashed in on this lacuna to geometrically increase fees for every payable on campus. Students now have to pay heavily to obtain transcripts, acceptance fee is now twice the price, students are to pay X-ray and Medical Exam/Services fee separately amongst a host of all others. This is coming at a time when the economy is still struggling to find its bearing and citizens are exposed to series of harsh realities which are largely pecuniary in nature, at a time when there is massive retrenchment and downsizing of workforce in the private sector and a time when state governments have blatantly refused to pay above the #18,000minimum wage.. To put this in proper perspective, the hike include the following but are not limited to; an 100% increment in acceptance fee, 33% increment in school fee., as well as 317% increment in transcript fee. Other illegal levies are been collected under the guise of departmental and hostel charges. Just recently, hostel allottees had to cough out #700 each for undocumented reason. To further increase our woes and make life unbearable for us as students, the Dr. Mrs Kudirat-led management has clapped down on all forms of cooking in halls of residence. This is been done with no regard to the financial implications to be incurred by the students. This is also a move that is inconsiderate of the health risks posed to students, as there are no regulatory body in place that would certify every edible on campus fit for consumption. At this point, we as students of YABATECH openly condemn all of these barbaric neo-liberal policies meted out on us by the Dr. Mrs Kudirat-led management of our great citadel of learning. We forthwith, demand as follow; 1. IMMEDIATE REINSTATEMENT OF OUR STUDENTS' UNION GOVERNMENT. OUR RIGHTS TO ASSOCIATE BASED ON OUR COMMON INTEREST IS SACROSANCT AND INDEPENDENT STUDENTS' UNION IS A RIGHT! 2. THE MANAGEMENT MUST AS A MATTER OF EXIGENCY, REMOVE THE 'NO COOKING' BAN PLACED ON ALL HALLS OF RESIDENCE. THE MASS OF STUDENTS CAN NO LONGER AFFORD TO BE EXPOSED TO THE RISK OF FOOD POISONING AS THERE IS NO CONSTITUTED REGULATORY BODY GUARDING THE PRODUCTION AND SALES OF EDIBLES ON CAMPUS. OUR CONSUMER RIGHTS' AS STUDENTS MUST BE PROTECTED 3. THE REVERSAL OF ALL FORMS OF ILLEGAL AND DESPOTIC FEES ACROSS BOARD BACK TO STATUS QUO 4. WE DEMAND THAT MULTIPLE JAMB REGULARIZATION FEE AND CHARGES AGAINST US BE OUTRIGHTLY SUSPENDED ALUTA CONTINUA.......... VICTORIA ASCERTA # SaveYCTstudents # OccupyYCT # NoYCT @70WithoutS.U.G Post it, like it, share it
