'Omo iye mi ruwo wa' literally means -you are my mother's child,but connotationally,it means-anything for u my brother.

I think Remo was founded by different yoruba subgroup arriving at different times.Perhaps their former dialect had influence their Ijebu-u may search for Makun war.

Any other duke is a wash;Bleep the nigga!

THANKS FOR MY BELOVED ORIKI.

Okay, bruddah.

But are you sure Remo was founded by by a next Yoruba subgroup - or just basically revisionism folks created cos of Nigeria and the ceding of more powers to the Remo king by the Colonists in 1937 or so? Anyway, that's a story for another day.

Tell that nyggah - but it seems he's a proper Ijebu Ode prince. But he should allow it, there can only be one Duke in a Dukedom. grin

[size=14pt]MOFIS offers overseas scholarships to 10,000 Nigerian students
[/size]


The Mike Omotosho Foundation International Scholarship (MOFIS) has offered tuition waivers to 10,000 Nigerian students who want to study undergraduate and postgraduate programs in Cyprus, Malaysia, India and Russia.




The Mike Omotosho Foundation International Scholarship (MOFIS) has offered tuition waivers to 10,000 Nigerian students who want to study undergraduate and postgraduate programs in Cyprus, Malaysia, India and Russia.
Speaking at the unveiling of the program, MOFIS Founder, Mike Omotosho, said it was set up to help Nigerian students gain quality education abroad.
Omotosho noted that many Nigerian students have not been able to acquire the sets of skills and knowledge that is needed by employers due to the shortfall of admission spots available.
"We have over 1.5 million candidates apply annually for admissions into universities nationwide but only about 600,000 are admitted," he said.



"Some of these unsuccessful applicants become frustrated and sometimes, resort to crimes; hence the need for meaningful access to university education has recently become indispensable in Nigeria as a result of population increase and volume of awareness of the role of the university education in the development of the individual and the nation at large."

"The foundation is committed with her partners to walk our Youth through the right path, because we believe that access to quality education is the lifeline for a bright tomorrow."
All Nigerian students with at least 5 credits in their O Level Examination are eligible.
Mike Omotosho Foundation International Scholarship was founded in 2010.

[size=14pt]21-Year-Old Nigerian Student Louise Jaiyeola Oduyoye Develops Emergency Power Backup For Surgeons Called Neva
[/size]

Prior to recent developments, electricity has always been one of the major issues we face in Nigeria – an issue which affects all industries and hospitals are not exempted from this. I can’t imagine what will happen if there is a power outage while surgeons are in the middle of an operation…

I could go on and on about how unpalatable the issue is but that’s not what this post is about…. This post bears encouraging news about a female Nigerian student studying at the University of Derby in the United Kingdom who developed a device to help in the event of a power outage in an operating room.
21 year-old Louise Jaiyeola Oduyoye developed a mobile medical battery called Neva which provides backup electricity to surgical theatres. The device is rather similar to the regular UPS (uninterruptible power supply) but is more dynamic in that it can be adapted to advanced situations. Neva contains replaceable lithium ion battery packs with enough power output to power critical machines during surgeries and reduce the risks associated with power outages.
Louise Jaiyeola Oduyoye is a Mechanical Engineering student at Loughborough University where she is pursuing her Master’s degree. Neva was a product of her completion of the requirements for obtaining her first degree in Product Design Engineering at the University of Derby.
In a comment about her invention, Louise said Neva was “developed for countries that have difficulty accessing uninterrupted power supplies so they can perform these surgeries in-country rather than fly people out.”
We can only hope Neva will be produced en masse and will be made available to hospitals in developing countries to help save millions of lives.

[size=14pt]Lagos Warns Against Punishing Students For Hijab
[/size]




The Deputy Governor of Lagos State, Dr. Idiat Adebule‎, has said that tutors general and principals in education districts across the state should not punish student who wears hijab and berets outside school premises pending the case currently in the court of appeal.

Adebule, who represented Governor Akinwunmi Ambode, spoke at the 2015 annual conference of the Muslim Students Society of Nigeria (MSSN), Lagos State University (LSAU) branch, on Sunday.

It would be recalled that‎ members of MSSN Lagos had sued the Lagos State Government over harassment of students who wore hijab in some public schools.

Though the students lost the case to LASG in the High Court, they have filed an appeal suit.

Adebule gave the warning while responding to ‎the speech of the out-going President of MSSN Lagos, Kaamil Kalejaiye, on threats ‎by some principals and tutors general in Education Districts one and five.

‎She said, “I have taken down the complaint on hijab as regards principals and tutors general ‎in District One and Five. I will get across to all principals that until the court case, pupils can wear their hijab outside the school. Students can still wear their berets in the school premises and outside‎. I know that after the court case, we will have to come back to the table to discuss for a very positive conclusion.‎”

Kalejaiye explained that the change in government should amount to an improvement in the yardsticks of development.

Among the yardsticks, he listed were education, health, agriculture, legislation, economy, science and technology among others.

He said, “We are yet to see any significant change in the education sector which happens to be the most important to us. It is our utmost belief that free education is not impossible in Nigeria. Education is a matter of choice and consequence; it is an investment choice that any leader has to make, but it pains that the students are made to pay so much and get lesser value.

“With our current situation, we should know that we have met the moral obligation to beckon on every Muslim the right to his/her religion. Now is the time to change our bankruptcy laws and fight against corruption to ensure that the pensions of our fathers and salaries of our elders are protected ahead of politicians’ bonuses; and the time to protect social security for future generations.”

The new president of the society, Saheed Ashafa, called on government at all levels to invest appropriately in education.

[size=14pt]Nigerian Student Creates App That Helps To Find ‘Social Buddies’
[/size]

Meet talented Nigerian student Ire Adewolu who graduated with first class in mathematics from the University of Leeds in the UK.


As part of the BSc Mathematics degree all students of the university were required to undertake a project in their final year.

Thinking about his project, Adewolu decided to do something that would really interest him and would be worthwhile. Thus, he came up with an idea that his project should address a problem he had experienced during his first two years as a student at Leeds.

When Adewolu wanted to go to out to a club, a gig or some other local events, his friends did not share his enthusiasm. Therefore, he missed out on some of the social activity he would have enjoyed.

The student was absolutely sure that there were many people in the same situation who would like to find ‘social buddies’ to share in activities but did not know how to do it.


Ire spent hours trying to find the solution to the problem. He decided to use his knowledge of mathematics, logic and self-taught computer skills to build an App and website which would help like-minded individuals to find each other and share in the same activities.

It took him four weeks to build the App and website, using Java code. Ire’s personal tutor helped him by giving advice on how to go about the project and suggesting areas where the App might be improved.

And so Lintivity was born. It provides a platform which helps people to find like-minded individuals and share experiences with them. It allows people to see what is going on in specified locations, search for activities and provides the opportunity to engaging with the local community.


Now Ire is planning to start his own business based on his project and is actively marketing to universities around the UK and other organisations.

Members of his family were originally very sceptical about his career plans and would have preferred him to go into banking. However, now they have seen the potential of Lintivity and strongly support Ire.

No, oga (uh gah) means boss/big man, but o ga (oh ga) is an expression. Kinda hard to explain.

It's expresses exasperation. Like "this thing don tire me o" or "unbelievable".
