Dear Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq,

I know many people have written to commend you for a job well done, so far. Some have even gone further to suggest ways and ideas to move the State forward and make your administration a successful one, while some have also written to condemn some of your moves. All these are expected in a democratic setting.

Mr Governor, I am writing, not for personal gratification, or to draw out a personal gain, but to appreciate you for making women first in your government. I have been in Kwara all my life, and this is the first time, I must say, where due respect, fairness and relevance is giving to the womenfolk in the administration of our great state of harmony.

This chapter has gone a long way to rectify the imbalance generated during the general elections where men occupied all elective positions in the state, and not just that; it also fulfilled the demand of advocacy groups that 50% of every state's political appointments be reserved for women.

As the Yoruba often say when trying to be frank— "ki amo pa iro, ki amo ja ole", Governor Abdulrazaq, you have done the unexpected. The women of Kwara are, therefore, appreciative and will forever be grateful. We are grateful that out of 16 commissioner nominees, 9 of them are women. This is unprecedented.

Similarly, I commend the appointment of a highly successful professional and brilliant mind from FBN Mortgage, Mrs. Omoniyi Shade as the Chairman of the Kwara State Internal Revenue Service (KWIRS), taking over from Prof. Muritala Awodun. This shows that you know and can identify great talent when you see one. We respect that you have seen the best in the women folk. I respect you.

Sir, you recently made history by nominating the youngest commissioner ever in Nigeria. The nominee, Mrs Joana Kolo not only became the youngest commissioner nominee in the country, but she is also set to become the youngest woman in the corridors of power in Nigeria.

I have no doubt that Mrs Joana Kola and the other female commissioner nominees including Hajia Saadatu Modibbo, Mrs Arinola Fatimah, Afolabi Adenike Khairat, Ahmad Fatima Bisola, Aremu Bose Deborah, Oyedun Juliana Funke and Oyeyemi Olasumbo Florence, will represent us well and shame every critic that has doubted their ability and capacity to perform.

Summarily, Your Excellency, you have blessed the women community in Kwara with 56.45% representation in your cabinet. My prayer is that divine wisdom follows you and your team every step of the way through your administration as you paddle the affair of the state, especially in areas of employment creation, economic rejuvenation, youth inclusiveness, waste management and sustainable development.

Your nominations are in tandem with Goal 5 of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). With this, we are hopeful that your administration will set the path for the realisation of more sustainable development goals in Kwara. I sincerely wish you the very best, Sir.

To the distinguished female commissioner nominees, you have become our leaders, torchbearers, pathfinders and representatives. I commend you for all your efforts and contributions that culminated in your recognition and nomination by Governor Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq. This is just the beginning. I enjoin you to use your positions to create platforms to nurture and raise more women in the State. You must endeavour to carve developmental niches for yourselves in the professional and political terrain of the state. Your actions and performance must lend credence to the wordings of "what a man can do, a woman can do better", promote equity, fairness, good governance and justice. I wish you all the best as you prepare to serve our State and her people.

God bless you, God bless our Kwara!

...making a DIFFERENCE

Dear Mr. President

It is with a heavy heart that I sit down to write Your Eminence. As a conscious, patriotic and progressive youth, I could not help but register my dissatisfaction with my country’s plight alongside a volley of plea to your administration to rescue this dire situation. Excuse the curtness of my manners. The intensity of my pain has almost robbed me entirely of formality. My passionate plea is not for a personal gain but for a revision of government’s position on issues of health, poverty and education, the individual components forming the fulcrum around which our collective development and glory as a nation revolve.
Sir, I read the disapproving remarks you made at the 58th general conference of the Nigeria Medial Association (NMA) concerning the unpleasant effects of various strike actions embarked upon by the country’s health professionals on the nation’s health. With a commensurate level of concern – and perhaps more, I have found myself under the onus of speaking on this trend with a view to achieving an impressive turn in events.
By the same token, a flush of reassurance stole my heart when I read your solemn promise, alongside the Senate President, to release the 1% Consolidated Revenue Fund to cater for health needs – in line with the National Health Act of 2014. This is a remarkable development. There is, however, still far more to be done to make this administration the true, long-awaited group of heroes.
Sir, I will always be reminded to say that nothing has been more pleasant about the present administration than President Muhammadu Buhari’s unconditional devotion to unceasingly protect the interest of the citizenry. In many of your words, Your Eminence has always reiterated your unfaltering devotion to putting your country first. Sir, I am a fan of your confession for being for everyone, and, today, Your Excellency, I seek to invoke that spirit of selflessness and dedication to the common man's good to seek your favour pro bono publico (for the public good).
Mr. President, it is always interesting to know that Nigeria has a fantastic population of a hundred and eighty million people – conservatively. Unfortunately, this feeling of national pride is not without an admixture of an aching sore. The country’s high death toll owing to a gross inadequacy of our health sector is the source of this enormous pain.
In a statistic that will shake the cruelest heart, sir, the 2006 UNICEF State of the World’s Children Report reveals that about 580,000 mothers die from pregnancy-related causes – annually, while close to 750,000 children are buried amid bitter tears before their fifth birthday. It is also a thing of national shame that our dear country loses $1bn to medical tourism every year whilst forfeiting its thousands of well-trained medical professionals who continually search for greener pastures to other countries ― no thanks to the inadequate resources channeled toward maintaining the country’s health sector. It is exceedingly disturbing that the country has set aside only a paltry ₦1,500 – according to an analysis – to be spent on our individual health needs.
As if it never happened, sir, the country seems to have totally forgotten the Abuja Declaration. Since there are piles of documents that struggle for your presidential attention, may I be honoured to remind you of the promise our dear country made some seventeen years ago. On April 1, 2001, heads of states of African Union countries met and pledged to set at least 15% of their annual national budget to improve the health sector. While the duo of Rwanda and South Africa have attained this praiseworthy target, it's disappointing and dissatisfying that the purported Giant of Africa is nowhere within sight. Instead of progressing we have only continued to stagnate. In fact, the situation has gone for the worse with the 2018 budget which has considered a ridiculous 3.95 percent for our healthy subsistence in the national budget. For years, we have depended on aids to tackle diseases like HIV and Polio.
If this deviation from a sealed pact has been ongoing for years unaddressed, I believe the time is now to hold firmly to that pledge. Now is the time for the country to shift focus to the deteriorating health sector. And this will never be possible until the country retraces its position toward the Abuja pact that stipulates a modest 15% of budgetary allocation to the nation’s health-related concerns. Another step in the right direction is the release of the 1% Consolidated Fund Revenue for the health sector. In the name of humanity and love and for the sake of our collective national development, may I humbly and passionately solicit that Senate approves the 1% consolidated fund with the 2018 budget as promised, while future efforts would be made at assuming the aforesaid 15% target.
It is a ridiculous and unspeakable source of collective shame to humanity that an incredible 130 million girls are out of school, when a report has exposed that it costs less than a loaf of bread or a newspaper to educate a girl in a day. Sir, it is a great source of national disrepute that our dear country ranked as the 27th for a girl child to get an education. While this is uncomplimentary, prima facie, a regional consideration tells a more discouraging reality. With the heinous insurgent incidences of Boko Haram, over 1000 schools have been destroyed in the North while a thousand five hundred more have been closed as of 2016. Sadly, 52% of girls in the North-East are out of school.
If the business of the nation is business, there is yet a fascinating and untold economic yield that accompanies the education of the girl child. As unbelievable as this may sound, pundits are unequivocal in their assertion that educating girls to the same level as boys could benefit developing countries to the tune of at least $112 billion a year. In fact, one 2008 estimate suggested that the failure to educate girls to the same standard as boys cost developing countries $92 billion a year. This should not be so incredible. The last prophet of Islam, Muhammad (may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), has said, “when you educate a woman, you educate a nation”. Bridging the gender gap could yield an enormous gain in developing countries, a figure that has been presumed to be between $112 billion and $152 billion dollars a year, according to 2017 One Campaign paper.
In the face of this resource boom, it is disappointing – though not surprising – that a massive number of Nigerians still flourish in stark penury. While poverty may seem an insurmountable impasse for the country, experts have confidently proposed education to be a potent weapon against the towering poverty in country. There is an abundance of evidence that countries who have a more educated population are healthier, wealthier and more stable.
Educating the girl child carries as much importance as increasing the budgetary allocation for the health sector. This is because education is light, wealth and power. Girls who do not get educated are at a high risk of becoming child mothers, are more vulnerable to disease, and suffer the risk of dying of AIDS.
With the look of things, this cost of our little investment in the health and educational sectors – especially of the girl child – is too expensive for us to bear as a developing nation. Sir, an increased health spending will translate into a healthier and increasingly productive population, just as an increased educational allocation and monitoring would mean a healthier, wealthier and more progressive population. Shouldn’t we be more concerned about people’s lives than infrastructures?
On a final note, I would love to express my cordial greetings to Your Excellency. It is an honour to be a witness to the milestones your administration has achieved so far. While I admire your success, let me hasten to add that there is still so much to achieve. A lot has been done but a lot more is still undone. My genial wishes to the honorable Senate President, Dr. Bukola Saraki, and the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Mr, Yakubu Dogara. I sincerely hope the duo would be served copies of this letter of aching concern.

Have been thinking of this for so long...
Let's see your contributions.. lol

28 May 2016.
Our paths crossed.
Not in some pristine location with soft music providing the perfect ambiance or in some hallowed setting, lifting up holy hands. Fellowshipping? Nah!
We met on the feisty street of Facebook, the `walless´city of Zukerville, where love flirts constantly with war. Yeah!
It was a weekend, meaning no work. Like David, from the walls of my page, I took a stroll on the busy streets of Zukerville, trying to catch up on all the avoidable dramas I have missed when a birthday picture caught my attention. Babe!
She´s not your typical social media slay queen and the poses were nothing out of the ordinary but …in her eyes, my raging Arian soul finds an unusual calm. Blissful innocence!
When did we become friends? I quizzed myself while scanning through her wall and updates as I always do when accepting a friend request or when someone catches my fancy. Mehn, she isn´t just beautiful and intelligent, she´s also a Jesus lover! AMEN!!!
I remembered the scripture, which says:
´Every good and perfect gift comes from God…´
I slid into her inbox. Yes Lord! Not every time, you hear an audible voice urging you to make the move for it!
I broke the ice with a nice birthday message. Two minutes later, she responded. I felt like I won the lottery. We chatted for the rest of the day and the days to come. It was pure bliss! After a couple of days, it was hard to go by without chatting with each other. Hol up!!!
I lied. She showed me pepper on the first day oooo! Not the second day, first day of chatting! She finished me!!! You know Lawyers naaa? Omo, I was on the hot seat oooo with no lifeline!
Chai! Dami made fun of me. Called me ´Deeper Life Youth Pastor ´and said my surname means ´Bicycle´. Lmao!
(See screenshots below)
Now who is laughing last? Hehehehehe!
We took to each other like fish to water. I am very accommodating and playful and she has this child-like curiosity and innocence that sometimes comes off as being blunt. I fell in love with her sincerity and days into our friendship, I knew forever has a hand in this.
However, things weren´t always this rosy and beautiful. We had moments when we felt like giving up. In fact, some 6 months ago, we broke up! We came to the end of ourselves and like a pack of cards, we fell …
Apart.
But in that moment, when we have come to the end of ourselves, we turned it all to God. Like a seed, fallen to the ground and buried, we saw our flaws in our unclothedness. And in the secret, we worked very hard at our flaws, keeping communication lines open.
The change came but not as rapid as we anticipated but when it finally did, we were grateful for the experience because it made us stronger.
And on the 7th of April, 2018, we will be saying our vows to each other.
True, love can find us in strange places but lasting relationships require the work. Dee, you are worth the work! And I will gladly put in the work over and over again. Thank you for not giving up on us and for putting up with my naughtiness.
Finally, thank you Facebook for the platform and the opportunity to connect.
Oya, lemme slide into her inbox again. Lol!

[Ibadan]–Information reaching THE PAGE has it that the University of Ibadan might be planning to increase clinical levy for students in clinical sciences from 12,000 Naira to 100,000 Naira.



The increase, THE PAGE learnt, will be carried out under the label of “Health Professional Training Fee” and will exclude other fees being currently paid by the students.

According to sources close to the Provost of College of Medicine, University of Ibadan, management is anchoring the new decision on the alleged development that the Federal Government of Nigeria has stopped financing Federal Universities.

To effect this plan, our source further revealed that the management is planning to have a Parents-Teachers meeting at the University College Hospital (UCH) where the parents will be ‘deceived’ to accepting to pay the proposed increment after which the University Senate will officially approve it.

Similarly, there have been growing concerns too amonsgt the students in the main campus about a possible review of accommodation fee from 14,000 Naira to 30,000 Naira.
