The acting registrar, Abubakar Gana, announced the release at the council headquarters in Minna, Niger State on Tuesday.

He said 829,787 candidates, representing 71.5 per cent, made five credits and above, including in English and Mathematics.

Mr Gana said 40,630 representing 3.53 per cent of the candidates were involved in various forms of malpractice as against 20,181 cases recorded in 2018, representing an increase of over 50 per cent.
He said the rise in the number of malpractice cases in 2019 was not unconnected with the deployment of the new biometric verification device used in the 2019 SSCE.

At Home,
Dear Rose,

It’s been a while since we heard from you, how are you doing? How are your studies coming on? How are your friends- Chika, Raymond and Mary, I hope they are all fine? By now, I hope that you are through with your exam? Is the result out yet? In your last letter, you said that Raymond had an accident; I hope he is responding to treatment and recovering from the injuries now? What of Mary, is she still leading her class? I hope everyone and everything is okay, if so, glory be to God.

The purpose of my letter to you today is to advise you on how to discover your talent, like you asked me in your last letter. I have given it a lot of thought and made a lot of researches about it but I am yet to get enough points to put forward to you in response to your question. However, I hope the points discussed below will go a long long way in explaining to you what a talent is and how to discover one’s talent.

To start with, talent is a marked natural ability or skill. It is an inborn or innate ability to do something exceptionally well. Also, a talent is something that you do most comfortably even if it is not so easy for others to do. An author (Oromidayo) once said that talent is the potent magic that makes you walk through the wilderness of this life without getting devoured by the hungry lions and terrible beasts. I could give you more than twenty definitions of talent but all of them will still be saying the same thing. Whatever definition one gives it, one thing is certain; talent is natural and it is inbuilt, it is not acquirable.


Having talent is a great privilege and the most beautiful part is that ALL human beings are endowed with different talents. That’s correct; all human beings are given talent by God. Many people may say that they don’t have any talent but this is falsehood, everyone has a hidden potential and this potential is enough to transport one to the top in life. Sadly though, many people don’t know that they haven’t recognized their talents, so they think they don’t have all. One young speaker once said that the graveyard is the richest place in the world because many people die with untapped potentials. I agree with him.

Is talent the same with education? No, they are very different. While talent is a raw material deposited in a person by the laws of nature and existence, education is the refinery that brings it out in all its glory. A raw gold is a useless piece of metal until it is melt in a furnace that is when the beauty comes out. So think of talent as that raw gold and education as the refinery that brings out the best in the talent, both of them are complementing each other. Talent without education that will fine tune it, give it shape, radiance and value is a useless potential. Sadly, many people are in the world today who is blindly going through life, wondering why they aren’t successful despite being talented. Such people have the talent but lack the education on how to bring out the best out of their talent.


This past week when I took my car to the mechanic’s garage for a repair, I met a young apprentice at the workshop. This young was singing Fuji and he was good at it that without any musical instrument or backups, he sounded awesome. I was marveled. For almost an hour that I spent there, this young man kept singing and he didn’t say a word twice, everything he was saying was offhand. It got to a point that his boss had to shout at him to stop singing and focus on what he was doing. I didn’t say anything but the thought came to mind- unbidden like a raging storm- that this young man has the talent but lacks the education. He would prosper more as a singer than a mechanic but who would tell him? If he had worked more on his singing, focused on going to a college to study music or things related to it, he might eventually be able to be the next Barrister (a late Fuji icon who was considered by many as the greatest Fuji musician that the country has ever seen). Because he loves singing more than machines, he will soon quickly lose interest in auto repairs and end up as a failed singer because he has not been trained on how to harness his potential.


I have said so much about talent without education; let me briefly say something about education without talent. Many young Nigerian ladies and men are not employed today because they were wrong in their approach and perspective to education. Many graduates all over the world have the clear vision of graduating from school with good grades, find a job in a nice company with a fat check and live like kings and queens for the rest of their lives. This is the common belief and mentality but it is a fatal error! School is not necessarily meant for you to get a job after graduation, it is meant to train you how to be employable and how to think of creating jobs yourself. This country today is full of graduates who are useless unless they are employed by someone else. But by themselves, they are useless.


There are many people in the world today that the world will never forget in a hurry. These people had left a permanent mark on the fine silk of time; they have carved a niche for themselves in their fields. They are immortal. People like Michael Jackson, Isaac Newton, Abraham Lincoln, mother Theresa and so on. These people have combined education (whether formal or otherwise) with their talents and made themselves unforgettable. So talent and education go together, a talented singer who lacks musical education will most likely end up as a failed singer. A talented footballer who doesn’t understand the rules of the game will spend much time on the bench than on the pitch.

From Your loving Father.
How then can someone know what his or her talent is?

The answer to this question is very simple. Whatever you feel so happy doing is your talent. Rose, if you wake up in the morning and feel like singing nonstop, then that is your talent! Knowing what your talent is takes careful examination of yourself. But talent is always there at the sub surface level, yearning and begging to be set free. It is like a beautiful flower, covered with a bushel; its beauty hidden to the world. Rose, I believe that with all that I have said in this letter, you will start working on discovering your talent? And when you eventually discover whatever it is, I hope that you will be diligent enough to nurture it to maturity because a newly discovered talent is like a new born baby. It is exposed to starvation, exposure, diseases and problems, it is now the responsibility of the mother to protect it from all these problems. Your talent is the new born baby and you are its mother, you must nurture it and bring it to maturity and this will only happen if you are constantly working on and improving your talent.


Knowing what your talent is is not enough; working constantly at it is what makes it worthwhile. Nobody wants to know that you are an exceptional writer if you don’t write new things constantly. No one cares that you are gifted in inventing new things if you don’t bring up new ideas regularly. Consistency is what makes talent to be perfect and noticeable.


Rose, I already know what your talent is but I won’t tell you. I want you to find it yourself. I raised you since you were a baby and I know what makes you happy and what gets you angry. I know the things that you love..... https://heavenoasis..com/2019/08/letter-to-my-daughter.html

Revolution is a political upheaval in a government, a nation or state which is characterized by a great change. It is a vital part of our political development and the democratization process. Revolution is as far back as the history of man itself. It is a very useful weapon of political, economic, social, spiritual and cultural change. Over the millions of years of man’s existence, the world had seen great revolutionaries whose names are permanently engraved in the history book of the human race. Some of these great revolutionaries were: Leon Trotsky who was Russian advocate of Marxism, the founder and first leader of the red army. Meena Keshwar Kamal, who was an Afghan women rights activist that founded The Revolutionary Association of Women Rights but who was assassinated in 1987. What about Emilio Aguinaldo, the Philippines savior who led the country’s army against both Spain and the United States of America before he finally died in 1964? The world will not also forget Jose Maria who was killed in 1913 because he was so devout in his struggles for democracy and social justice in his country-Mexico. The list of these generals goes on and on.


A painting of liberty and freedom.

The world will never forget the Arab spring which threatened to tear the Middle East and North Africa apart in 2010 and 2011. The revolution cuts across the Arab countries in the middle Eastern Asia and North Africa, starting from Tunisia in 2010 and to other countries in Africa and Asia with millions of protesters in those countries taking to the streets, defiling weather and unfriendly climatic conditions doggedly. Most of these protests and revolutions yielded positive results as there were urgent changes in governance, changes in administration and policies. These protests began as response to the oppressive standard of living in the said countries and countless cases of the violation of fundamental human rights. Egypt will never forget this period in her national history as it witnessed dramatic changes in governance and quick succession of governance.
In Tunisia, President Zine El Abidine Ben Ali was ousted, charged to court on different count charges, exiled and his government was overthrown. In Egypt, President Housni Moubarak was ousted, arrested, sued and his government was overthrown. In Libya, Muammar Gaddafi was killed during the civil war and his government became history. In Yemen, President Ali Abdullah Saleh was ousted and government rein was handed to a national unity government. In Syria, President Bashar al-Assad was confronted with civil war and armed rebellion which he was unable to stop before it escalated into a full bloody carnage and rampage. What about Bahrain? Thank God for Saudi Arabia led intervention unit, the government could have been overthrown like the other. In Kuwait, Lebanon and Oman there were government changes as a result of series of protests. In Morocco, Palestine and Jordan, there were constitutional reforms in order to appease the protesters. Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Mauritania and other Arab countries too are facing fires and civil unrest from the protesters.
Of course, the leaders of these protests and revolutions were in most cases, taken, tortured, imprisoned and even killed but the governments were unable to stop them all the same. And must same fate happen to Omoyele Sowore, a presidential candidate in the last presidential election in Nigeria under African Action Congress who is currently leading protest and calling for the Nigerian revolution? What does the Nigerian constitution says about protests and call for revolution? Is it not part of his fundamental right as a citizen to speak up where perceives oppression?




Sowore and the peaceful protesters.

The revolution, popularly known as Sowore Revolution is among other things calling for the implementation of the National minimum wage, freedom for religious and political prisoners like El Zakyzaky, abolition of tuition fee for secondary schools and tertiary institutions in the country, providing a lasting, working solution to the issue of insecurity, provision of employment opportunities for the youths and sacking and prosecution of corrupt government officials both past and present who loot public funds for private use. These are basically what Omoyele Sowore’s revolutionary movement is calling for but the Nigerian government decided to twist the narrative and capitalize on the fact that revolution in nature is a treasonable felony which attracts severe punishment. Therefore, they are brainwashing the general public about the real intent and the purpose of the movement.


Even if he had not included the word “revolution” in this protest, the government of Nigeria would have found an excuse to still taken him into custody as a potential threat, not against the peace and orderliness in the country but itself which may lead to its eventual overthrow. So this government’s actions are still bordered on selfishness instead of the oneness and wellness of this state.
We haven’t forgotten yet Tu Face and his still born protest a couple of years back. Just when he was about to start leading the protest, he suddenly pulled out and gave no tangible reason for doing so order than the fact that some unscrupulous elements may use the avenue to cause mayhem and wreak havoc that was the last we heard of it and after it, this is the next major protests against the government..... https://heavenoasis..com/2019/08/sowores-revolution.html

CHAPTER ONE.


OLU AND THE THIEF.
Once upon a time, there was a family called Adegba family. Mr. and Mrs. Adegba had three children; the eldest was a boy named Olu, the second child was a girl named Ife and the last child was a boy named Tolu. They were twelve, ten and eight years old respectively. One day, Olu was celebrating his twelfth birthday. His father gave him a toy car and his mom gave him a set of puzzle but he was not happy. He wanted a toy airplane.
“Dad, I don’t want a toy car. I want an airplane” He said as his father presented the car to him.
“Olu, listen, I will buy you that airplane as soon as I have money but this is what I can afford now, so manage it” his father soothed but Olu was not happy.
“No, I don’t want!” he shouted as he threw the toy car against the wall. The car broke into tiny pieces. He walked out of the living room.



His younger brother and sister watched all these and were sad that Olu didn’t appreciate their father who was trying to please them. They picke3d up the tiny pieces from the floor and thrashed them. They found Olu crying loudly at the back of the house. They tried to sit beside him and comfort him but he chased them away from him. Throughout that day, Olu did not speak to anyone and he refused to eat his food. When night fell, he went to bed without saying goodnight to his parents and siblings.




Olu suddenly woke up in the middle of the night because he was very hungry. He was quietly from his room to the kitchen because he knew that his mother always kept cookies in the freezer. When he got to the kitchen, he opened the freezer and took a chocolate cookie, while he was going back to his room; he began to hear some strange sounds. He listened carefully and the noise grew louder. He tip-toed towards the direction of the sound and he observed that the sound was coming from the living room.
When he got to the living room, a thief was there and he was packing all his parents’ electronics and mobile phones. Olu wanted to shout but the thief quickly covered his mouth with his large palm. “Hey, don’t shout” The thief begged “If you don’t shout, I will give you anything that you want. Do you hear that?’
Olu nodded his head then the thief removed his hand from Olu’s mouth.
“What is your name?” The thief whispered so that others would not wake up.
“Olu” he said.
“Olu, good boy. What do you want me to buy for you?” The thief asked.
“I want a remote controlled airplane” Olu said quickly. He was happy that someone was ready to buy it for him.
“Okay. I will help you to buy it but it costs a lot of money. Do you know where your dad and mummy keep their money so that I can use it to but it for you?”
“Yes, let me bring it” Olu said and he went to where his parents kept their money and he gave it to the thief. Thief put the money in his picket and he promised Olu that he would come back with the airplane.
The following day, Olu’s parents discovered that they had been robbed and they immediately reported to the nearest police station. Two policemen were sent to their house to investigate the robbery. Mr. and Mrs. Adegba were questioned if they saw or heard anything while the robbery was in progress but they said no. The three children were also asked if they saw or heard anything but they all said no. The policemen left and promised to catch the thief.


The following day in th3e middle of the night, Olu woke up because he thought someone called his name. “Olu, it’s I, your friend. Let me in” said someone that was standing outside his window. Olu quickly opened his window and the thief came in with a wrapped parcel under his arm.
“Is that my airplane?” Olu asked excitedly.
“Yeah, I always keep my promises” The thief said and gave him the parcel. Olu quickly unwrapped it and found the airplane inside. He was very happy.
“Thank you” he said as he began to play with the airplane. Olu gave the thief the money he had stolen from school and from his parents then the thief left.
In the morning, Olu started playing with the plane before anyone woke up in the family. After three days, Olu received a letter from the thief.
“Dear Olu,
I believe that you are enjoying your airplane that I bought for you? I hope your parents are doing good? If so, I am happy. Do you want to become like me? Do you want to be a thief? If you become like me, you will have everything that you want and nobody can mess with you. I am expecting your reply soon. Bye.
Your friend.”
After reading the letter, Olu quickly tore it so that nobody could see it. However, he thought a lot about the content of the letter. He knew that it was bad to be a thief but he thought of all the things that he would have if he decided ds to be a thief. He thought of many days about it and finally he replied the letter to the thief and said yes.




Olu was very excited to be trained by the thief. Whenever he was coming back from school, he would go to the thief’s hideout to be trained and he would later go home. Throughout all these, Olu was clever enough to hide what he was doing from his parents and his siblings. He kept behaving like a good boy at home and he pretended to be paying attention to his studies.


CHAPTER TWO.



THE BOY BECAME A THIEF.


Finally, he became a thief after four years. He began selling fake money, robbing and kidnapping. He became very notorious throughout the country and he was number one on the police wanted list. Eventually, he ran away from home and began living in a place no one knows. Olu was so good at stealing and robbery that his master began to feel jealous. So the master planned to kill but Olu knew about the master’s evil plan towards him so Olu killed the master instead.
Eventually, Olu became a very rich man and he built a very big mansion and got married to a beautiful woman who gave birth to two children for him. He was teaching his two children bad things instead of sending them to school and teaching them the right things until the whole family became bad and notorious. His children always fought in the streets and steal other people’s things. His wife always party late in the night and engaged in prostitution. All of them forgot God and continued following bad way.
One day, while Olu and his new gang were about to rob a market, they saw a police checkpoint. At the time, he was armed with guns. While the policemen were checking him, he became scared because of what they would do to him. So he quickly brought out his gun and shot the five police men at the checkpoint and ran away. He ran back home and told his wife what had happened.
“Pack your bag, we need to quickly travel away, otherwise, the police will soon be here and we would be arrested!” he said urgently as he ran to his room and began packing his belongings inside a big travelling bag.
“But let’s go ne4xtweek” his wife said, “I have a party that I want to att3end tonight”
“No, let’s go now!” he shouted at her. Let’s go to Brazil, we will be safe there. Nigeria is too hot for us now. Let’s go to the airport before it’s too late. Where are the children, call them and let’s go! ”



They travelled to Brazil and the following day, Olu began his job.
“Can’t we do another thing instead of robbery and stealing?” His wife asked him. “We will soon be sent away from Brazil; too if we keep stealing”
“If I don’t steal, I will die because when I went to a herbalist four years ago, he said if I stop stealing and robbing the I will die” Olu said sadly.

AGAISNT ALL ODDS- KELECHI OKWUCHI.


-KELECHI OKWUCHI Is one of the two survivors of the Sosoliso aircraft that happened in Nigeria in the year 2005. She was born on October 29, 1989, in Orlu Imo state and grew up there though she attended boarding school at Loyola Jesuit in Abuja, Nigeria. At school, she was an excellent scholar and the pride of her parents.

In 2005, she was traveling with 116 people on Sosoliso Airlines from Abuja to Port Harcourt. The plane crash-landed at the Port Harcourt International Airport and nearly all the passengers aboard died except her and another passenger. The news of this crash shook the whole country.
At the time, I was still in my fourth year in the secondary school and what made the news of this crash so grieving to me at the time was that 2005 was a year that Nigeria witnessed two plane crashes and lost a First Lady. Even at that tender age, I was an avid news reader and a political observer.Then, I never knew that someday, I would be writing the story of one of the survivors today.

When she was interviewed on Bella Naija she shared the traumatizing experience of the last moment before the plane crash, she said
“Fifteen minutes to the end of the flight, the pilot announced that we were soon to land at the Port Harcourt airport. I remember I was sitting in an aisle seat, and my close friend Toke was on the aisle seat to my right. The ensuing turbulence was getting very frequent, but I didn’t think too much of it until someone from the back shouted ‘Is this plane trying to land?’ I couldn’t see out the window from my seat, but now I think about it that was probably for the best. Everything was so surreal in that moment. I turned to Toke, and we held hands, and I was like ‘Maybe we should pray?’ Before we could even start, there was this sudden shrill sound ringing in my ears, and next thing I knew, I was waking up in Milpark Hospital, South Africa. To this day I don’t remember the actual impact of the crash.”

She and her best friend, Toke with 110 people were on board, when the plane slammed into the ground and burst into flames. Immediately after the crash, seven survivors were recovered and taken to hospitals, but only two people survived.

It was the second air disaster to occur in Nigeria in less than three months, after Bellview Airlines Flight 210, which crashed on 22 October and which was why I would never forget that year.


Kelechi was critically injured in the plane crash and has since undergone 100 surgeries in order to recover. Despite the traumatic episode, she only grew up stronger—she went on to graduate at the top of her class from university and even performed on “America’s Got Talent.” where she reached the finals.

THE AMERICA GOT TALENT.

She became famous during America’s Got talent after receiving a "yes" from all four judges during her first audition on the show where she sang Ed Sheeran’s ‘thinking out loud’ on Tuesday 6 June 2017. She gained the attention of viewers across the world with her story but does not want people to vote for her based on that. She wanted people to love her because she deserves it and not out of pity for what happened to her.
On her twitter handle, she said “I will never ever forget this moment and this feeling. Not ever. I’m incredibly grateful to God for giving me yet another performance to look forward to on the America’s Got Talent stage. Whatever happens, I’m humbled.” At the auditions, her talent got her to the finals before she was out....... Read more here https://heavenoasis..com/2019/02/agaisnt-all-odds-kelechi-okwuchi.html

YORÙBÁ PRE COLONIAL POLITICAL SYSTEM IN NIGERIA.
- February 18, 2019
YORUBA TRADITIONAL POLITICAL SYSTEM
The pre colonial Yoruba political system was arguably one of the most politically advanced societies in the sub Sahara Africa. It had most of the features of the modern society. It was democratic to some extent and there was checks and balances against arbitrary use of power.
Yoruba pre-colonial administration was not highly centralized compared to Hausa/Fulani system. The reason being that the Oba is not an absolute ruler and there is the principle of checks and balance. Examples of Yoruba kingdoms include the Oyo kingdom, Ekiti parapò, Ijesha, Ẹ̀gbá Aláké kingdom, Ijebu, Abeokuta, etc. In this case, Oyo empire is normally being taken as case study.

Political Institutions of Yorubas K
(Using Oyo Empire as a case study).

The Oba:
This position is hereditary but in a case where the previous King had no male survivor, the husband of his eldest daughter may be crowned King. There have been one or two cases where the king had no survivor at all, in such cases, the next king would be appointed from his extended family. The Oba is the highest authority in Yoruba kingdom though not an absolute ruler. He is both political and spiritual head of the Oyo kingdom popularly known as Alaafin of Oyo. Also, the Oba must be the eldest son of deceased king and a member of the royal family. He is well respected by the subject and this explains why some have regarded him to be the ‘working companion of gods’ (Alase Igbakeji Orisa). only that, Oba can be addressed as ‘Kabiyesi- Ka bi o ko si’ (Nobody to challenge your authority), yet, there is the principle of checks and balanc. Oba can checked by other institutions like Oyomesi, Ogboni cult, warlords, etc. The argument is that Oba must always respect the views of the people in the society. This, perhaps made Yoruba kingdom to be more democratic. Oba ruled with the assistance of chiefs called Ijoye like Otun, Iyalode, Balogun, òsì and so on.
With these chiefs, Oba can exercise judicial, legislative and executive power particularly over serious cases like land dispute, crimes etc.

The Bashorun :
Bashorun is the prime minister in the kingdom and he is the most powerful person after the King
in empire. Because of the sacred nature of the Alaafin's kingship, he only appears in public three or four times in the whole year, therefore, it is Bashorun who appears in public on behalf of the King and pass whatever information the King has for the people. He serves as the bridge that connects the King and the people together thus, he wields a lot of political powers. There have been cases of some Bashoruns who became tyrannical and dictatorial. Example of this was Bashorun Gaa who used his position to kill many people, including his own father in law. Eventually, he was killed in a mysterious death that was orchestrated by the ogboni society. This is another prove of checks and balances in the empire.


Oyomesi:
Oyomesi can be regarded as king makers. They are prominent chiefs comprising seven notable individuals within the community. Specifically, Oyomesi are the institutions charged with the responsibility of appointing the king from a royal family. It is headed by Bashorun. However, the consent of the Oyomesi is required before any reasonable decision could be taken by Oba.
It is important to stress that the principle of checks and balance in Yoruba kingdom makes it possible for the Oyomesi to check the excesses of the king. For instance, the Oyomesi (kingmakers) may compel the king to open calabash (it is an order to commit suicide) if the king is dictatorial and arbitrary in rulling the people.

The Ogboni:
The Ogboni cults on the other hand is often regarded as secret cult because their activities are much hidden to the public. They perform rituals on behalf of the society, and also check the excesses of both the Oba abd king makers. The group of Ogboni therefore is headed by Oluawo.

Aare Ona Kakanfo: ( The Army Commander)
Esos or warlords is a group of people that provides adequate security in the Yoruba kingdom. They helped to protect the life and properties as well as preventing the community from both internal and external aggression. It is headed by ‘Aare Ona Kakanfo’ who provides military support to the king. He is abnormally powerful and that explains why he stays outside the community. More importantly, Aare Ona Kakanfo is expected to commit suicide if he losses any battle which means he must not be defeated at the war front. Nevertheless, he check the excesses of any institutions by withdrawing or neglecting military responsibility.

Yoruba pre-colonial systems, Oyo empire as case study was centralized though with the principle of checks and balance.
