NEW YEAR RESOLUTIONS

Now that 2016 is here, or more precisely, January 1, according to what I was told, the sun shines differently, and people shout coherently. I was also drugged into believing that every January 1 is a time of Reformation, especially of battle plans. Coincidentally, I was also told that every January 18 marks a new year for my proud self. See, I'm not ready to entertain confusion with unnecessary drinks, so I'll just stick to January 1. I know I've not been good but I ain't that bad you know? After careful observation and evaluation, I came up with these fantastic resolutions which will be the watchtower of my new year.

According to my Pastor, he mentioned a lot about this year that I felt any child born this year must have been created and endorsed by God himself, not just an Angel. For that, I have decided to adjust my life accordingly. Please read with me.

CLOTHING
1. Henceforth, I shall no longer slimfit my clothes. This year, is my year of DIVINE ENLARGEMENT, which is why I have decided to wear more loose fitting clothes than tight ones. I'm not ready to jeopardize my enlargement here just because I followed the slimfit-clothe-wearing generation. "When God is ready to enlarge me, I don't want my clothes standing in the way."

2. I will wear more of flip-flops than trekkers or other heavyweight shoes. Since this year promises to be my year of DIVINE UPLIFTMENT, I have decided to wear light weight shoes to hasten that. I believe the angels will be happy knowing they have lesser weights to carry. No devil in the form of shoes will stop or bog me this new year.

3. I promise to wear 3 different perfumes. Yes 3, and 6 shades of deodorants in preparation for a year of DIVINE ENCOUNTER. To think that I may be visited by angels this year, I need to start smelling nice.

FOOD
4. I promise to eat less this new year, which is why I've gone through the trouble to creating a new menu. New year, new menu.
For breakfast; I ll take only cereals laced with sugar, milk and chocolates, taken but not limited with cupcakes, snacks, and popcorn.
For lunch; I'll take only 10 handfuls of solids, with specially prepared delicacy, drowned with only a pack of fruit juice.
For dinner; I will eat only chicken ribs, breast and hinds. I'll also manage 2 plates of rice, with different flavours for each night.

LIFESTYLE
5. I promise to laugh more in this new year. I don't know how many muscles I have in there, but it will be good to exercise those mouth muscles ahead of speeches and testimonies I'll have to give this new year.

6. I promise to forget and put the past behind me. This includes forgetting everyone I owe in cash and kind. Its a new year. I've carefully written out the names of those who owe me, so my sudden new year amnesia won't make me a victim.

7. I promise to stop visiting our family house. See, a prophet is of no value in his own house. I don't want unnecessary arrow attacks in the new year.

8. I promise to hang more with girls than guys. Doctor says too much guys is not good for my blood pressure.

9. I promise...

STRIKE: A WRONG APPROACH TO NIGERIA'S EDUCATIONAL PROBLEMS.

Mission: Opposing the theme.
Goodevening ladies and gentlemen, I'm Emmanuel Okunlola by name and representing the Lautech team which is opposing the aforementioned motion.

Defined according to Wikipedia as 'work stoppage caused by mass refusal of employees to work', strike stands as the commonest and inherently the most effective in managing grievances amidst the many weapons of labour unions. The educational sector of Nigeria is in no way exempted, having witnessed long and grievous ones over the last few years and has come to be the most dreaded by students and the government. Several problems face Nigeria's educational system right from the primary to the tertiary level, ranging from selfish interests, wrong attitude to learning to under-qualified lecturers, however, the fight for better learning and teaching conditions has stood as a giant birthed in Herculean blood. The aim of this essay is to explain how beneficial strike has been in alleviating the problems and how it has always been for the greater good.

One fight which will never end in this world is one of satisfaction, and that brings us to the first and most popular reasons for strike -- salary. No matter how strong passion is, remuneration remains a chief source of motivation in any path that man chooses. Whether it is underpayment or non-payment, when lecturers are not motivated to work, the brunt of it all falls on the students. After a meeting, the union leaders may decide to warn the government with a strike to send home their wishes which ultimately cripples educational activities in the school. The result of this is a call-to-order for the government to initiate a negotiation and after their wish is granted, they return back to work with a much more refined rigour. This has proved a saw common amidst workers over time, 'strike is the only language the government understands'. A well-paid teacher has no excuse for non-performance, and will try to give his best.

Furthermore, strike ensures better working and learning environment for the students and teachers. Since the government rarely visit the schools, it is the responsibility of teachers -- lecturers to ask for conditions comfortable and proper for students. In many schools, there are cases which lecture halls are severely overpopulated that several students are left hanging outside of the hall, unable to gain anything from the lecture. It is the duty of the state or federal government to erect infrastructures for such schools. The situation witnessed during the last general ASUU strike strike comes to mind: The union had tabled its requests before the government which included the upward review of retirement age of professors, adequate funding to revitalize the university system, progressive increase of budgetary allocations to the education sector, setting up of research and development units by the companies and others. The aforementioned points and its non-fulfilment had prompted the 6-month-long strike, and the final result had the government conceding to their wishes.

[Strike also in some cases are initiated by students out of frustration and grudges. In this case, the student union Government may declare a lecture free day in protest of an unforseen incident, poor housing conditions or a policy which may not directly come from the government but the school authority. Students agree to step out en-masse, sometimes aggravated into destroying school properties till their wants are met.]

As much as students detest these incessant strikes, it has always served its purpose and many others as blessings in disguise. Strike affords students an oppourtunity to learn outside school, since education is not confined to the walls of a classroom alone. Ranging from trades, certifications to work experience and beneficial extracurricular activities, students can make good use of the strike period to widen their scope and knowledge. The knowledge gained in this period will help the students in their academic life and even after graduation. For others, it may help shape their attitude towards education and life in general, because the nonchalant attitude to academics is also a major bane to the Nigerian Educational system. Importantly, what most students see in schooling is getting a certificate and not learning, and that in a way is curbed by strike as it helps them to realize what the labour market is all about. It ensures that students are taught patience, the means of survival, endurance and discovery of alternatives asides getting in the queue of unemployed graduates.

Though the Nigerian educational system seemed pitiable, through the efforts of strikes, it is now being rebuilt to enable it gain international standards. Strike has come to be an important part of the system, as it shows how sensitive people have become to their conditions -- what the government fails to notice. It has ensured that Lecturers and students alike do not settle for less but fight for what they truly deserve. It may appear that strikes are indeed degrading, it has always been the most important and effective weapon in fighting Nigeria's educational problems.
