Kudos to Rochas,
its embarrassing how confident some of us are with our ignorance,
some even take it a step further by being wicked in their accusations,

Some have deliberately mixed up the intention of rochas foundation with that of the IMO govt
Free education smply means free tuition, any other thing is an extra
Most foundations are simply helping to actualise God's wish to make this world better & he has not abandoned them,
Foundations are sustained more by rich ideas than by the wealth of their founders

A university does not have to be a 'do it all' as we are familiar with in Nigeria,
It may choose to specialise to the limit of its funding
With advancement in technology degrees are being offered online, it is what pple do with knowledge that counts, not where they acquired it

Foundations apart, some govts across the world are offering free university education, Finland & some other Nordic countries are there
I was in Saudi Arabia last year, & met Nigerians who are schooling there, some claim for as long as 7yrs,diff course as long as you dont fail, the govt pays even foreigners for going to school
we need to widen our horizon, & see which positive directions some nations are moving in, civilization is like a race, those who are behind need to move at a faster speed in other to catch up with those in front, talk less of surpassing them. ........

Back to Rochas, there is nothing wrong in trying to find out how he made his money, but he has repeated this severally while campaigning for presidency, beyond that, we all heard when he was accused (amongst others) of not delivering on an aviation contract, he defended himself well & was the only one offered an apology by govt. More importantly is the facts that he confessed to sowing the early seeds of his business in the NORTH, northerners have not come out to accuse him of ripping them off, even in this political dispensation where false witnesses can easily be bought, & the EFCC is a willing tool in the hand of the ruling party

Youths of our nation, if all u can do is to encourage & pray for is dreams to be actualised, God will deem you to have made a contribution, you can keep your votes to recycle the other clueless people u have voted for in the past ........

For the records, age apart, in spite of other attainments that may discourage one to 'begin again', the Awujale of IJEBULAND enrolled for a degree in Law at the national open UNIVERSITY, just this year at the age of 78, in spite of several honourary doctorates, your sister should have nothing to fear or be ashamed of ....

At the Osun Education Summit in February 2011, chaired by Prof Wole Soyinka, Aregbe lamented about the critical situation of Osun State Univ. & promised to look at these key issues

High School Fees
He said no civil servant, living on his legitimate salary can afford to send their children to this university
He said deductions are made by previous admin from Local Govt Councils to fund the School, whereas some of the the LGs do not have students there
He promised that the issue will be radically looked into
He asserted that multi-CAMPUS system may contribute in part to ineffective management of resources

As we speak it is obvious that the man is concerned about these things , but some challenges are more serious than others I am sure AREGBE is believable & will respond sooner than later.

Africa's challenges are many, so are its criticisms, solutions are what is greatly lacking. While some are trying, but unfortunately in the wrong directions believing that physical infrastructures ALONE would get us their, yet there are a few who are developing human capital, building infrastructures of the mind, investing in the youths to meet future challenges. The truth is that in any race, the person behind (as Africa is) needs to move at a faster speed if he EVER hopes to catch up with the people in front. The report below rekindles some hope, however when it was first mentioned, many waved it off as an empty promise, even now that it is being implemented the vision is not too clear to some, as events unfold lets hope many more will come to the the realisation that Africa's greatest resource are its people & like other resources we need to add some value before we can expect great returns.





"Indications have emerged that the training of shortlisted candidates for the Osun Youths Empowerment Scheme (OYES), an initiative of Governor Rauf Aregbesola aimed at empowering 20,000 youths within his 100 days in office, has begun.

Already, a two-day workshop had been held for the trainers of the candidates that would participate in the scheme. The workshop was held in Osogbo, the state capital on Tuesday and Wednesday.

Speaking at the two-day Train-the-Trainer workshop, one of the Coordinators of the scheme, Abiodun Aremu, pointed out that the take-off of the programme through the workshop was a clear demonstration of Aregbesola's determination to banish unemployment and poverty in the state.

Aremu, a former general secretary, Labour and Civil Society Coalition, said the initiative was unprecedented considering the huge figure of 20,000 youths involved.

According to him, the philosophy behind the scheme was to place human capital development as a prelude to social and other forms of development. He said the co-coordinators of the scheme would ensure that they make the initiative a reality to the satisfaction of the government aimed at engaging the youths without fair or favour.

Also at the occasion, the Publicity Secretary of the scheme, Mr. Olatunbosun Oyintiloye, said that the ongoing process was the fulfillment of electioneering of Aregbesola's administration.

Oyintiloye, who is also the Assistant Director, Community Forum of the Bureau of Communication and Strategy, office of the governor, said the government would continue to explore all possibilities to raise the social and economic profile of the people.


He said about 280,000 youths applied for the scheme, out of which 20,000 would be shortlisted, noting that other applicants would be taken into consideration and accommodated in subsequent scheme, especially in agriculture.

Oyintiloye said: "Every great nation is a product of the deliberate efforts by all classes of people at nation building, irrespective of their age, sex or ideological group, and young people have always had a major role to play. We need to promote the efficiency of joint work and its impact on the living conditions of the population, and provide the government with a methodology to ensure articulation of plans and priorities. This is the basis for the scheme.

"It is time to empower our youths through active and proactive positive participation instead of being engaged as political thugs, and constituting a menace to the society."

Sorry, I took time off to refresh after a tough week.

I WISH I hv the time to respond to all replies before I Lvn TOWN IN THE NEXT FEW MINUTES to earn a lvn.

However, note that I'm not the beneficiary of this appointment, neither is it Seun or any of his admins, even they, can only guess

I did not mention his screen name because I do not have his permission to do so , or to even announce the appt on NL

From my privileged knowledge the person in question he can best be described as shy, gentlle, humble & intelligent

He has in the past opened one or two threads on the Gov. but his most complimentary remark on NL is a prayer in 2008 that the man wins

He has never been engaged in abusing or engaging the Gov's opponent in any way (neither have I)

The spirit behind this apptmt is evident in the designations, which simply indicates that the Gov recognize internet as a powerful media & his strategy is to separate it from electronic, press & traditional community forum ways of reaching out to people at various levels,

Much more later

trouble looms if Jonathan runs – Primate Ayodele

More Stories on This Section

Equated with Nostradamus, a 16th century French Physician/Prognosticator, Primate Babatunde Elijah Ayodele of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church gained prominence for the accuracy of most of his predictions. He recently spoke with Sunday Sun in his modest office in the Oke-Afa, Isolo area of Lagos where he again reeled out several mind-blowing predictions. Excerpts…

2011 election
Expect a lot of happenings. There will be election in 2011 and President Jonathan and IBB will contest. But I can tell you that (Abubakar) Atiku, (Muhammadu) Buhari can never rule this country again. As for Jonathan, he will contest but he will not win. There will be rigging and all sorts of vices. We all saw what happened after the June 12 (1993) election was annulled.

I have told you and I repeat it that this democracy will break this country. Apart from democracy breaking this country, the issue of zoning will bring no good to the country. The solution is that Jonathan must not contest the election if you want peace. He should honour the gentleman agreement in the PDP(Peoples Democratic Party) so that the country can move forward. If Jonathan contests, he will win by force but it will cause a lot of problems for the country, and this country may break up as a result of it.

People may see this as a bad prediction, but for those that have ears let them listen to the warning of God. People may criticize it but it is a warning from God. For those that God loves, He reveals himself.
People are pushing Jonathan to run for presidency in 2011 but he should not listen to them. Old politicians will pitch tent against themselves that may result in another coup in Nigeria. In the interim, a sponsored coup is likely to occur. I know President Jonathan may not like what I’m saying, but he should not listen to sycophants.
We predicted last year that there would be changes in (late President Umaru) Yar’Adua’s government. A lot of people criticized it. If Jonathan wants this country to be one indivisible entity, he should not contest next year’s presidential election. I am not against Jonathan, but that is what God says. We are saying it the way God revealed it to us. This is not a matter of calculation; it is what God said.

I am saying it for the avoidance of doubt that Nigeria will break up. Whether we pray or not, it is the wish of God. I know many people may not like to hear this. Some may be saying why is this man talking like this, but it is what God has decreed. Nigeria will not experience peace until it breaks up. I don’t know when it will happen but it will come to pass.

Let us pray for peaceful election. Lagos State governor, (Babatunde) Fashola, will be elected for a second term but it is not going to be easy for him. There will be problems in Ogun State because of the 2011 election as a greenhorn will emerge as the governor. Alao-Akala will be elected by force in Oyo and there is going to be problem in the state. In Ekiti, Oni will contest and will win. [size=8pt]I did not see (Rauf) Aregbesola as governor of Osun.[/size] If the internal wrangling in the Osun State PDP is not resolved, they may not pick the right candidate for the election.

After the 2011 election, there is going to be agitation for a new state from the present Osun. Ijebu State is coming out of Ogun. A new state is coming out of Lagos

Now that Aregbesola is governor of OSUN State, Primate may need to upgrade his crystal ball or review his prediction for respectability 

Interesting, to run into a thread about the celebrity status of a former student of mine.
A lady with many sides, & has always shined, dreamy eyes, fine face, great height, unique interests.
She has since moved on to greater things, like a British law degree.
Maybe soon her admirers would be discussing her Legal/Political career. Just may be.
Best wishes 

Pitching is allowed in a number of professions, architecture, advertising etc. but this is not the best way to go about it 4 either party or the profession.

A bad brief can hardly lead to the best solution, however broke both parties may be, if u notice some smart guys have started deleting their BIDS

It's a free world anyway.
