Following the end of the second World War, Harold Gillies ran a private practice and trained many doctors in the techniques of plastic surgery. World War I was one of the most destructive and violent wars the world has ever known. At least 2 million people died in the war, and the number of people injured was much higher than that. While many soldiers returned home in one piece, there are many others who returned home injured and badly disfigured. In the U.K. The work of one man, Dr. Gillies, would let many of them live a normal life again.

History has a lot of lessons for us. History itself though an event of the past is vision of tomorrow. History is a divine prophet. Little wonder why science relies on history so much to unravel mysteries. I have not seen in history a government or political party in its second term that outperformed its first term in office. Public office holders often disguise and show less of their color in first terms only to activate the beast in them in their second term when they think nothing is at stake. Former president Olusegun Obasanjo awed the world in his first term in office, teachers had their fortune and Nigerians smiled more in his first term. Obasanjo showed the beast in him in his second term. Olusegun Mimiko governor of Ondo State was brilliant in his drive for a better plight for Ondo State citizens and we sang his name. Mimiko got his second term and his current dispositions are tantamount to that of a possessed mad man who listens only to the voice of his demons and we curse his name daily. I wonder and ponder over the matter of second term for President Jonathan, and I have 5 reasons why I think Jonathan’s second term in office will be a national disaster: INSECURITY The carnage unleashed by boko haram terrorists in Nigeria is alarming. The situation is ominous and the government of the day’s body language says “no cause for control”. The kids’ glove used by the present government in dealing with this barbaric and animalistic disposition of terrorists is dangerous and dreadful. The President dines with boko haram sponsors and declared a ceasefire when it appears that the military is winning the war. It is annoying that the military only decided to assault book haram when top military commanders were killed. Obviously the government is playing political games with the peoples’ lives. A nation under terrorist’s siege will never experience peace if the evil is not stamped out from the land early enough. Now that the president has failed to eliminate this evil under first term pressure, there is nothing to expect from him in his more comfortable second term. CORRUPTION We have experienced successive governments of thieves but never in history have we had it so bad. Corruption under President Goodluck Jonathan’s government is being defended and encouraged in no little measure. We have seen thieves pardoned and incongruously awarded. Sanni Abacha’s award comes to mind. The wanton consumption of oil money by the minister of Petroleum Alison Madueke is unchecked. The whereabouts of over N20 billion that grew wings in the NNPC is yet to be discovered. We have not seen conviction and imprisonment of corrupt public office holders and that is enough proof that corruption will increase to disastrous levels in Goodluck Jonathan’s second term. Certainly it will! Would you allow that? UNEMPLOYMENT It is no more news that Nigeria is a ticking time bomb. The problem of unemployment and our poverty rate is pitiable. Just like past governments, the government pumps billions of money into fixing the problem but the average Nigerian does not benefit from such provisions. Perhaps it is just money for the colonies of thieves swarming the corridors of power. We will hold the President responsible for the sins of his Ministers. The death for Job in the recent Immigration recruitment comes to mind. Conditional ties to loan packages ensure that only the rich benefit from such provisions hence the increasing gap between the rich and the poor. The recent N220 billion intervention fund was given to the Bank of Industry that has consistently failed to use billions already in its coffers to better the lives of the very needy. This trend will continue in Goodluck Jonathans second term in office. We therefore foresee the same result. Mr Jonathan! You don’t deserve a second term. My readers, does he? HIGH COST OF EDUCATION Every problem we face in our country stems partly from poor education. From the uncivil act of terrorists to the street hawkers, something is lacking. Education! The cruel increase in tuition fees recently in our universities and colleges has put many out of school. I suppose the government should augment the increase with scholarships and education loans as practiced in foreign countries with high cost of education. It is plain robbery to bill us so high without matching quality. The recent greed induced increase in Tution fees at National Open University of Nigeria speaks volume. We need quality and affordable education that we can use to better our lives even if there are no jobs out there. Unfortunately, I don’t see it happening in Goodluck Jonathan’s second term. Should we not vote him out? POOR INFRASTRUCTURE With infrastructure developments comes jobs and employment. The government of the day over reliance on oil is disastrous. Almost all facets of Nigeria suffer except the oil industry. Agriculture has taken the most hit. The promise of diversifying the economy over the years have not been kept and in fact, despite the propaganda of improvement in agriculture, all over the south west, I have only seen a combine harvester in Ipeme town of Ondo State and it has broken down for over two decades now. How has the government of the day mechanized farming? What infrastructures have been developed? Mr Jonathan’s creeks and farmlands are polluted with oil, perhaps a reason not to border. Anyway, a second term will not bring the change. We say no. Rushing to the polling units to casts votes without considering our pressing issues and the capability of our desired candidates to fix these marauding problems will be unwise. The above points are not mine. They are all from the greatest prophet and seer of all times. History |

WORDS FROM A FATHER TO HIS SON ABOUT WOMEN AND MARRIAGE I got this on FB and thought it wise to share with you guys. It’s funny but there are a lot of sense in it: 1. My son, if you keep spending on a woman and she never asked you if you’re saving or investing, and she keeps enjoying the attention, don’t marry her.  2. My son, a woman could be a good wife to you, some could be a good mother to your children but if you’ve found a woman like a mother to you, your children and your family, please don’t let her go. 3. My son, don’t confine the position of your wife to the kitchen, where did you get that from? Even in our days, we had farm-lands where they worked every morning… that was our office. 4. My son, if I tell you that you’re the head of the house, don’t look at your pocket; take charge. 5. My son, if you want to have a long life, let your wife be in-charge of your salary, it will be difficult for her to spend it when she’s aware of the home needs and bills to pay but if it’s in your care, she will keep you asking even when all has been spent… 6. My son, don’t ever beat your woman, the pain in her body is nothing to be compared to the wound on her heart and that means you may be in trouble living with a wounded woman. 7. My son, when you marry, if you live a bachelor-life with your wife, you will soon be single again. 8. My son, in our days, we had many wives and many children because of our large farm-lands and many harvests, there are hardly any land for farming anymore, so embrace your woman closely. 9. My son, under the cocoa tree that I did meet your mother could be your eateries and restaurants of nowadays, but remember, the closet thing we did there was to embrace each other. 10. My son, don’t be carried away when you start making more money, instead of spending your money on those tiny leg grlss that never knew how hard you worked to get it, spend it on that woman that stood by you even when there was no money, not those always asking for money. 11. My son, when I threw little stones or whistled at the window of your mum father’s house, to call her out, it was because I missed her so much. 12. My son, whenever your girl changes, if it’s because of money, then she wont be a good wife. 13. My son, your mother, rode the bicycle with me before I bought that tortoise car outside there, any woman that won’t endure with you in your little beginning should not enjoy your riches. 14. My son, don’t compare your wife to any woman, make her see reasons to change until u get tired. 15. My son, there is this thing you people call feminism, well, if a woman claim to have equal right with you in the house, divide all the bills into two equal parts, take one part and ask her to start paying the other part. 16. My son, I met your mother a virgin and I took more yams to her father, if you don’t meet your wife a virgin, don’t blame her, what I didn’t tell you is that our women had prestige. 17. My son, I didn’t send your sisters to school because I was foolish like many to think a female child won’t extend my family name, please don’t make that mistake. 18. My son, your mother have once locked up the cloth I was wearing and almost tore it because she was angry, I did not raise my hand to beat her because of a day like this, so that I can be proud to tell you that I never for once beat your mother. 19. My son, in our days, our women had more of natural beauty, though I wouldn’t lie to you, some had minor painting of their appellation mostly on their arms, the ones you people now call tattoo, but don’t forget that they didn’t expose any part of their body like your women of nowadays. 20. My son, your mother and I are not interested in what happens in your marriage, handle your issues. 21. My son, remember I bought your mother’s first sewing machine for her, help your wife achieve her dreams just as you’re pursuing yours. 22. My son, don’t stop taking care of me and your mother, it’s a secret of growing old and having your own children to take care of you too. 23. My son, pray with your family, there is a tomorrow you don’t know, talk to God that knows everything, everyday |
