Former President Olusegun Obasanjo last Saturday was among the 10,653 graduands at the 5th convocation ceremony of the Open University of Nigeria (NOUN).

It was learnt that 15 of the graduands made first class.

Obasanjo who was said to be unavoidably absent, bagged Master’s Degree in christian theology.

Other notable graduands include the Emir of Hadejia, Jigawa State, Adamu Abubakar and the traditional ruler of Awgu, Enugu State, Igwe Felix Okechukwu.

Others were over 70-year old Rear Admiral Orisha, (Rtd), who bagged fist class in Mathematics and a 78-year old Femi Balogun, who bagged LL.B from the School of Law.

In his speech, the Vice Chancellor of NOUN, Prof. Vincent Tenebe reinstated the commitment of the institution is establishing study centres in the over 774 local government in the country on the next 15 years.

He also stated that strong efforts are being made to ensure that law graduates from the institution are allowed to attend the Nigerian Law School. Stating that if such is feasible in countries like UK, India, South Africa, Tanzania, there is no justifiable reason why it shouldn't be in Nigeria.

Gulen Institute Youth Platform is an international essay contest annually organized by the Gulen Institute at the University of Houston and is open for high school students in grades 9th through 12th enrolled in public or private schools all over the world.
The contest challenges young minds to identify the obstacles to stable peace and social harmony and to offer possible solutions from their own cultural perspectives. The Youth Platform also offers a unique opportunity for cross-cultural understanding, as contest winners are invited to share their essays and engage in respectful dialogue with their peers from around the world.
Topic
Extremism: There are many ways extreme behaviors contribute to creating unsafe conditions for communities and societies. People, especially youth, are attracted to causes and join with others to create violence and destruction. Acknowledging that extremism is both justifiable on occasion and also responsible for considerable harm and disruption in the world,  select only one of the following propositions. In two thousand words explore to what degree is extremism is responsible for progress and for disharmony in the world.
Education fosters pathways for those who feel alienated to become more moderate in their beliefs and behavior..
2. It isn’t so much ideology that makes someone extreme but rather companionship for mutual goals and, if necessary, mutual sacrifice.
3. To eliminate extremism, society must eliminate injustices that create feelings of alienation.
4. Dispassionate reasoning is not effective in addressing extreme behaviors.
6. The existence of a global village in which there are great disparities in wealth and poverty present serious challenges for eliminating regional and global violence
7. Those who are extremists use emotional appeals to rally others to their cause and to justify their prejudices.
8. At the core of extremism is both cause and comradeship. Without both, there is no cohesion and no possible victories.
9. Without extremists’ united will to action, there would be few eliminations of societal injustices and little social progress.
10. Extremism today isn’t novel but is heightened by media that only recently have had the technological means of recording social injustices and social violence.
Organizer
International Youth Platform of the Gűlen Institute of Houston, Texas
