As an Addition, to an earlier reported news of a New VC of the Premier University of Ibadan, i believe it's pertinent to give a little information (profile) about the new man at helm of affair in UI. Who is Prof Abel Idowu Olayinka?

Prof. Idowu Olayinka was born on 16 February, 1958. He attended Saint Bartholomew’s Primary School, Odo-Ijesa, from 1964 to 1969 and was appointed the Senior Prefect in his final year. He was admitted to Ilesa Grammar School, Ilesa, in 1970 and completed his secondary school in 1975, finishing in Division One.

Abel Idowu Olayinka read Geology at the University of Ibadan (1977 - 1981), obtaining a BSc (Geology) with Second Class Honours (Upper Division). He read Geophysics at Imperial College, University of London and obtained an MSc and the Diploma of Imperial College, in 1984. He attended the University of Birmingham (1985-87), for his PhD with sponsorship from the Committee of Vice-Chancellors and Principals of United Kingdom Universities.

He had post-doctoral training as a German Academic Exchange Scholar at the Technical University Braunschweig (1996) and as Alexander von Humboldt Fellow at the Technical University Berlin (1997-1999).He joined the University of Ibadan in 1988, as Lecturer Grade II, and was elevated to the rank of Professor in 1999. He has supervised five PhD theses and 76 MSc projects.

He has authored/co-authored 41 journal articles, one book and co-edited/written 11 chapters in books. He has presented nearly 100 Conference papers. He is a member of many learned societies. As Dean Postgraduate School and Head Geology Department, at the University of Ibadan, he was involved in encouraging scholarship and scholarly publications, mentoring of emerging scholars and capacity building including skills for writing competitive grant proposals. He has an impressive record of fund mobilisation and management. He has received travel grants from and served as Consultant to many organisations. Prof Olayinka is a former Deputy vice chancellor Academics of University of Ibadan.

Before this, he had also contested for the Post of the vice chancellor of Osun state University. (Indeed, the patient dog, eats the fattest bone).

Incidentally, the immediate VC Isaac Adewole who also is an ijesha man like Olayinka was his senior back then in School (Ilesha Grammar School). So, it's more like an Old student handing over to his junior. Lolz

Congrats Prof from Micronut.

To get to the pinnacle of one's career is no small achievement, indeed it's good to see a prof that have come a long way to take this rare academic leadership role. Hearty felicitations to Prof. A.I Olayinka and family and the entire Great UI @ Large.

Long Live the Premier University of Ibadan.

Thank You all for the seeing sense in the above nonsense, Nairaland is too powerful and resourceful than to be seeing it degenerating. It's a collective responsibility and we owe it a duty by joining hands. It can always be better.

dearpreye:
What more can I say? You're also endowed with literary skills. It's one of those skills I love deeply.

Well, people understand life from various angles due to their background and other factors.

Whenever you write folks will appreciate and some others will denigrate. They're all very important to us.

Truckpusher is an oasis of wisdom. I've learned so much from him. I'll endeavour to see that thread on entrepreneurial infrastructure. It's the way to go.

Smiles! Thanx alot....

dearpreye:
Coming from someone I deeply respect. Thank you!

dearpreye! You have written this piece excellently well. It's concise and aptly mind blowing.... I read it and read all over gain, i have always had a mindset of creating something, cause have been blessed with loads of Entrepreneurial ideas. Many have identified the spirit in me and have encouraged me not to look back, while some other have seen my move as a mere noise making.. But then i remain undeterred, When i finished with a 2.1 degree in biochemistry and decided an MBA school is my next point of call, many of my classmates and lecturers started calling me names... Today am not regretting this path, even when have not been earning a living myself, but am pretty sure, i would come out with something worthwhile soon.

I wrote this piece https://www.nairaland.com/2378227/self-employment-real-stomach-infrastructure sometimes ago, i had recieved more accolades and mockery from folks too, especially the percieved "Salary better grads", who feels the noise about self employment and encouragement is an empty noise to demonize the salary work, which i have evidently clarified. Coming here to see contributions from Truckpusher, you and loads of other great minds on this platform is a great moral booster. Let me say have never had it better on nairaland than today, am impressed. God bless you real Good.

Good day Mr Seun, I do hope this my short piece meets you well. Let me first thank you for coming up with a great idea of setting up a forum like this. Indeed, this has been the NO 1 Social sites for most Nigerians (Particularly the youths).

Your forum has given birth to thousands of blogs that litters the social media today. In fact, i tell friends, if you don't know a forum called "Nairaland", then you are missing a lot, because this is where everything is happening. Nairaland is First in All, For latest information in Nigeria (Even before many Newspaper houses or Radio stations).

Why Nairaland is the king of all forum?, a guy asked me because that's what i call it.. I dream here, even when have got no battery, i miss it more than my girlfriend (lolz). Sometimes i sleep here (though not like INTROVERT and LadyF).

Yes, NO 1 Job site that brings all others together in one. I can mention countless number of unemployed graduates that have had cause to smile from visiting the job/vacancies sections. Testimonies and helping hands here and there, CV Writers have made so much money from here too (Lolz, business is moving here mehn), Many GNLD and fake jobs companies are being exposed only here, i mean you only get that on Nairaland, which have saved many Jobless graduates their meagre resources, which they could have used in travelling for useless interviews that is aimed at extorting them.

What about the career section? With no iota of doubt, the career section have been of immense benefits to alot of youths and those who are planning to change careers. The best of Nigeria Career Egg heads like Jarus of Jarushub.com and Xfire started from here.

Talk of anything you want as a budding and passionate young man and woman, the career section would help you hone your skills to make it a reality. Now tell me, who gives a real-time chatting and quick response platform like this? if not Nairaland, It is not a matter of contest, no one does it better than Nairaland which gives a career Site that gives you information free at no single cost.

Mr Osewa, having said all that, and without becoming too explicit or an overnight praise singer, it is undoubtedly that your platform has given Nigerian youth so much at no cost, in fact if it's a country that gives people awards for adding values, you deserve a National Award by Mr President.

For over four years that have been here, i have watched you closely from your hiding corner and can not but agree that you are a shinning star for every Nigerian youth with foresight. May God bless You to continue to do more.

But Nonetheless, i want to advice you that there is still more to do to strengthen and sustain this platform, than what it is now, unlike what it use to be. I have discovered 6 Formidable sections that has been helping humanities and more essentially the youths than others, which are the Job/Vacancies Section, Education, the Career, the Family Section, Agriculture and Healths.

But it seems Politics, Celebrities( Which has suddenly turned nairaland into a gossip site like lindaikeji) and Crimes sections have suddenly beclouded the aforementioned 6.

They are the ones we see on front pages every now and then. The Politics section has contributed largely to the tribal war among youths of different ethnic nationalities while the Celebrities section is giving a false impression about fame and what morality should be.

Today, you hardly sees Educational news and Career related on frontpage, even when we get it, they are always few, where as these are stuffs that an average Nigerian can benefit from not chindinma simbi hair style or linda's black gate. (lolz).

I Wish few amendment can be made to these loopholes to propel and foster Nairaland to the next pedestal, as an informative and Educative hub, which it has long been known for.

Thank you sir.

One of the reasons i have my reservations about work life in Lagos. But it always seems all the works in this country are amassed in Lagos. 80% of the jobs on Nairaland and jobsites are in Lagos. Must we all move to Lagos??

Funny enough, when i look at the life uncles and cousins are living in Lagos, i feel somehow....... Some have been working for close to 10yrs with no house and meaningful investment. Rather they tell me how difficult and expensive things are, a 2bedroom flat could be like 700k for a year + agent.. Now how do one cope when the children started going to school and bills grows while salary may be crawling...

Yes one would be working in lagos but ur mates in town like ibadan, akure, osogbo, owerri, minna would have built their house, own some other investments that they could run to even when the hard times knocks... This is why many lagosian don't want to come home when they are called upon, except if u are lucky to get a huge salary job..

Lagos! stop tempting me, am scared of you. lolz

op, you don't have any excuse not to have a degree if you so wish. Ofcos, many of those who had it are not better either. I want to salute your courage for this spirit. Rewrite ur gce to have the Chemistry, apply for schools like NOUN.. They are established to suit your purpose, check programmes you can study at ease with your job and i assure you, in the next four years, you would be happy to take this decision. By the time you are done with schooling, you would realise your scope has been widened and you can develop creative ideas backed with your certificates to show you are an authority.....Do not be sad about it, rather be challenged and take this risk. God bless!!! http://nou.edu.ng/#

Interested! can write extensively on Entrepreneurship, Healths and Nutrition (that's why i answers " microNUT". Lolz). Also on Agriculture and culture. You can reach me on yhemielu@gmail.com

whitecloth:
Its not really an insult sir, it comes with soo many messages, depending on how you view it. one f the meaning is that what Nigeria is producing is what we are eating and so on.
We just have to step up.
That's all.

Thank's for your contribution, on the above, i bet to disagree, if only you know how many of those watermelon are getting rotten away in the north, i have seen how tomatoes get wasted in benue state, also in ondo state/osun (Govt reserves area of Ife North), plantain are so cheap because farmers do no see who to buy. If i may ask how do poor farmers keep producing more if no local retailers like shoprite and other big groceries outlets do not patronise them? Ofcos, the would be discouraged.
My point is this, if we can no export, atleast we can eat it. Are you telling me agroproducts is more abundant in ghana than Nigeria that these people would have to be visiting ghana for banana? I disagree sir... This people are just wicked. How many of them patronise our local fish farms? what of our poultry..because they make so much profit from importation.

Shameful!!! When Shoprite is importing Ordinary WaterMelon from South Africa while our Own is rotting away on the farm.
To even hear, that they also import plantain via one SBC Company from Ghana is more shameful.....

I keep telling many of my folks, there is so much to do and earn a decent living in agriculture, especially now that we imported almost everything, from tomatoes to pepper to even common vegetables. Have tried to check most of the legumes and vegetables displayed at Shoprite and could not but attest to the fact that importation has eaten us deep.. From cucumber to common oranges, all na importation. Yet we keep complaining about dollar exchange rate, when in actual fact, we don't have any business with dollar, rather people should come and buy from us.

I believe so much in Agriculture, it's the only business with little risk if all conditions are fairly stable. God has blessed us with a fair weather and it would only take us to make the good use of this god-given gift with abundance hectares of arable land.

It is a generally acclaimed and accepted fact, that food drives the world; apart from clean water, access to adequate food is the primary concern for most people on earth. The success stories of new businesses in the agricultural sector are increasing and word is spreading fast about the great potential in this sector. As a result, agricultural entrepreneurship and commercial farming are becoming increasingly trendy – even among the young.

In Kenya for example, ‘doing agribusiness’ is becoming hip; an increasing number of university students are skipping the job search to build agribusinesses instead.

I have had my sheer experience as a young farmer while growing up. My dad being a consummate and a passionate subsistent farmer himself is one man that has planted all sort of farms crops from beans, to yam to cocoyam to banana and almost everything you could think of, as a local farmer. No thanks to Abacha Era that makes life so difficult for Teachers then, but from this challenge i have come to realise that he practically do not spend a dine from his meagre salary then except paying of bills.

Like i could still recall, i use to distribute "Ewedu" early in the morning (immediately after fajhr prayer) to all canteen and restaurants in our neighbourhood then. After i must have kitted up in my neatly dressed School uniform, with the ewedu and efo in bagco bag. I use to realise nothing less than 500naira within 30minutes on daily basis which my father use to keep for my daily stipends and transport to school. Hardship! one may say but challenging and Interesting.

I remember i discussed with him the last time of my interest to go into Agrobusiness as an "Entrepreneur" and i can still see the interest in him even in his late 60's, as he advised me and even told me about the booming "watermelon" planting a friend told him.

I wish Mr President can make available soft loans and provide economy policies and frameworks that would encourage Nigerian youths to give Agriculture a trial, especially now that the Oil boom is fast going into extinction. Check world Agricultural Map and Statistics, you see America as leader in Corn Production, Thailand in Rice, Indonesian in Palm oil, India and Uganda are the first and the second largest producer of banana in the world, How pitiable! Most worrisome is that Nigeria is not in any top 10 from all of the above.

In 1950s and 60s before the advent of oil prior to Nigerian independence various regions in the country were predominately engaged in comparative production ranging from food baskets, cash crops to timber and also solid minerals. In the then western region were known mainly for cocoa, kola nut, cashew nut production etc, while the north were been known for herds, skin, dairy products, cotton and groundnut which Kano was then popularly known for its groundnut pyramid. Also in the east were palm produce.

At Ibadan a high rise building was built and called "Cocoa House." This building signifies the hegemony in power of production and comparative advantage enjoyed by then western region in cocoa production. The building was formerly called "Ile Awon Agbe" (i.e. "House of Farmers". It was the tallest building inAfrica in the 1960s. The regional administration of Chief Obafemi Awolowo was proud to tell the world, in the era before the Oil Boom, that Cocoa House was built entirely from proceeds of international trade in agricultural commodities such as cocoa, rubber and timber.

Even after 1967/1970 civil war however; the country was still making a descent living on foreign exchange through these products but sadly the story is no longer what it use to be, as things have suddenly gone bad.

We can do better with Agriculture and Farming if we have the enabling environment and if our youths realised farm life is not as rusty as it seems, we can always make it trendy and lively if we believe in it.

Find him a mentor in that line, Encourage him to watch Academic and Educational programmes on TV's....E.g VISTAS ( A career guiding programme on NTA), Voyage of Discoveries ( Also on NTA, Showcasing young innovators with good inventions). He belongs to the Arts and science world.

But i stood my ground, today she is studying English Education and i see a great future in her.God bless u
