Foreign Affairs / How Donald Trump Can Be Removed As President Without Being Impeached by VastFinder: 8:09pm On Feb 17, 2017
Since US President Donald Trump signed the executive order restraining citizens of 7 Muslim-majority countries from entering the United States, the situation has become tense and attracted several reactions from all over the world, with some people calling for the impeachment of the billionaire turned politician, two weeks into office.

But there is something else that could mean Trump can be kicked out of the White House without having to be impeached. It is contained in section 4 of the 25th amendment to the constitution- which was ratified in 1967.

According to this section, the vice president and majority of the cabinet secretaries can write to the president pro tempore of the senate and the speaker of the House of Representatives, letting them know they don’t think the president is able to fulfill his duties.

The vice president would then become acting president – which in this case, would be Mike Pence.

If this happened to Trump, he would have 21 days to convince a two-thirds majority of both Congressional chambers otherwise.

At present Trump’s party, the Republicans, have majorities in both chambers, but his opponents cross party lines.

Romance / 10 Things You Shouldn’t Write In A Valentine’s Card by VastFinder: 6:37pm On Feb 14, 2017
With Valentine’s Day fast approaching, do you find yourself lost for words? Instead of aimlessly trawling the internet searching for a poem to copy and pass off as your own, get creative with your cards, but make sure you avoid the following if you want to see another Valentine’s Day with your other half.

1. “I can’t wait to spend the rest of my life with you”
This goes hand in hand with “I can’t wait to have your babies”, and is a sure fire way to set alarm bells ringing in your partners head. If this is your first Valentines Day together, this is a great way to send your guy running for the hills.

2. “P.S. – don’t forget to change the cat litter”
Valentine’s Day is about love and romance, so avoid bringing up unsexy topics such as household chores, kids and mortgages in your card… unless you want to make it clear that you’re not in the mood that is.

3. Avoid X-rated content
It’s fine if you know that you’ll be the only ones reading it, but if it’s to be displayed proudly on top of the TV for all to see, then you may want to save the expletives between you and your partner.

4. “Roses are red violets are blue….”
Need I say more?

5. Don’t be boring!
Look at your card. Does it read something along the lines of: ‘Dear John, Happy Valentine’s Day, Love Anna’. If so, it belongs in the bin. Impersonal cards are pointless and will probably end up there anyway.

6. “I still love you, even though you’ve gotten fat”
Don’t use it as an excuse to point out their flaws. Spending a romantic evening with you will be the last thing they want to do after that!

7. No cheesy song lyrics
Reciting lyrics to Whitney Houston’s ‘I will always love you‘ is a definite no-no, if not a way to make him feel completely awkward and uncomfortable.

8. Don’t write an essay
Avoid rambling for two sides about nothing in particular. Keep it short and sweet and save some of the lovely things for.

9. No references to his ex-girlfriends/friends/mother
“I once received a card from my girlfriend which said, ‘Your mum and I saw this card and thought it would be funny’. Not something I’d expected to read in a Valentine’s card to be honest!” – Josh Reeves from London.

10. Don’t recycle the card you sent last year
Don’t laugh. People actually do this! Although men give off the impression that they couldn’t care less about Valentine’s Day, giving him last year’s card will only show him you couldn’t be bothered to make an effort, so why should he?

Romance / 10 Reasons To Be Happy You Are Single On Valentine’s Day by VastFinder: 3:43pm On Feb 13, 2017
Single on Valentine’s Day? Count your blessings. There are plenty of reasons why it’s great to be unattached on February 14th. Here are just 10 of them:

1. There no Valentine’s Day awkwardness or pressure. You don’t have to worry about whether or not you should buy him a gift, bring her white roses or red, or what the other person’s expectations for the day are. There’s no pressure to take a young relationship to the next level too soon, nor is there an expectation to reignite a long-lost spark.

2. You have a great excuse to hang out with your single friends. Whether you’re gushing over Valentine’s-appropriate chick flicks together or rebelling with horror films and Chinese takeout, Valentine’s Day can be a great day of bonding. If you’re disappointed to miss out on a candlelit meal, host a semi-formal dinner party that celebrates friendship and singleness. (Being single doesn’t mean you have to go without champagne, either.)

3. Make the day all about you and the things you love. You hate roses but love daisies — so buy yourself some. Stay in and indulge in the guilty pleasures you don’t get enough of: favorite foods, a trashy television show, a bubble bath or a new book. Pamper yourself, guilt-free.

4. You’re going to save money. Valentine’s Day, with its romantic dinners, flowers, gifts and (occasionally) sexy lingerie, can get pricey. Instead, count your financial blessings and buy those chocolates half price on the 15th.

5. You can spend it with your Hollywood crush. Who needs a boyfriend when you’ve got a Leo DiCaprio movie marathon lined up? (Invite friends over who share the same crush and swoon together.)

6. You can roll your eyes at other couples. They won’t even notice.

7. You can escape the fake holiday’s commercialism without disappointing your partner.
It’s easy to shrug Valentine’s Day off as a Hallmark-created one — until there’s someone in your life who’s not-so-secretly hoping you’ve made a reservation at the most romantic spot in town.

8. You can celebrate where you’re at right now. You’re not in a bad relationship. The future is open to endless beautiful possibilities. Choose hope, rather than self-pity.

9. You can eat those chocolates in sweatpants, a way more comfortable option than doing so in a cocktail dress.

Related: You don’t have to squeeze into a cocktail dress.

10. You won’t get dumped on Valentine’s Day. We think Valentine’s Day should be about celebrating all the types of love in your life — not just romantic love. So what and who do you love?

Vast Cares!

Romance / Top 10 Things You Shouldn't Do This Valentine's Day by VastFinder: 3:11pm On Feb 13, 2017
...Say it with flowers instead.

So you want to get your Valentine something special this year, but you’re not sure what exactly. Chocolate and roses? A spa package? A poem? Whatever you choose to do, you probably wouldn’t want to take your cue from our beloved soap opera characters this year. Here are the top ten things you should avoid giving your Valentine!

10. Do not Give him or her surveillance jewelry: After EJ asked Nicole to marry him on"Days of our Lives," he presented her with a beautiful diamond bracelet. After Nicole happily put it on, EJ revealed that there was a tracking device implemented in the bracelet – kind of like an ankle monitor but with some bling!

Diamonds may be a girl’s best friend so opt for some jewelry with more bling and less stalker-ish devices.

9. Do not Change paternity test results: Probably not a good idea to switch paternity results and lie to your lover. This practically takes place on every soap! On "Days of Our Lives," Sami Brady switched results countless times. Currently, her grandmother Caroline switched Parker’s paternity results but this blew up in everyone’s faces. On The Bold And The Beautiful, Amber is trying to pass off Oliver's baby as Liam's. She and her mother, Tawny, plan to switch the paternity results soon. How many people can guess that this will blow up in Amber’s face? Shocker? I think not!

How about surprise him instead with his favorite cologne or a new sweater? Something that says "I love you," rather than "I’m a whack job!"

8. Do not Steal his or her baby: Not the greatest way to get to someone’s heart!

On "The Young and the Restless," Adam had stolen Sharon’s baby, Faith, and given her to Ashley. Sharon temporarily left Adam when the truth came out, and even though she's kind of lost her mind and taken Adam back, it’s still not the greatest move to pull this love day! On "Days of Our Lives," EJ had Sydney kidnapped to try to get even with Sami. He ended up using the situation to try to get Sami to fall in love with him again. Obviously this didn’t work out!

Want to make someone fall deeply in love with you? Steal some poetry and recite it instead of stealing a baby!

7. Do not Pretend to lose your memory: This might seem like a clever idea at first, but pretending to lose your memory about your break-up with your ex isn’t the best way to get him or her back for Valentine’s Day. Jana’s plan on "The Young and the Restless" isn’t exactly working out for her. She’s faking amnesia to hold on to her ex-husband, Kevin, but his mind and heart are clearly set on Chloe. Learn from Jana and don’t guilt-trip your ex to stay with you this Valentine’s Day!

If you really want to play pretend – why not do it in the bedroom?

6. Do not Send him or her to a deserted island: Does distance and time apart make the heart grow fonder? Not exactly for Victor and Vivian on Days of Our Lives. Kate and Brady secretly lured Vivian and her manservant Gus away to Victor’s uninhabited island. He wanted to get his revenge on Vivian for stealing his company and estate away from the family. Maggie convinced Victor to bring Vivian back to Salem by promising she’d go on a date with him. Once Vivian returned, she proudly told Victor she’d give him a divorce. Guess she didn’t appreciate his vacation getaway gift to her!

Want to show her you love her? Go to a spa or surprise her with a vacation – which you’ll go to together.

5. Do not Cheat on him or her: On "Days of our Lives," Philip and Chloe probably won’t be celebrating Valentine’s Day with their spouses. Chloe slept with her stepdaughter’s husband, Philip, when she thought that Daniel was cheating on her with Carly. Add to that, Chloe ended up pregnant with Philip’s baby and now both couples are separated and miserable!

To avoid such misery this Valentine’s Day, perhaps it’s best to cook a romantic dinner instead of cooking up some lies!

4. Do not Hide him or her away: Desperate to hang on to your love this Valentine’s Day? Keeping him or her near you forcefully might not win you points. Whether you’re hiding a lover away in some basement as Stefano did with Marlena years ago, or hiding her in a sarcophagus as Victor let his grandson Brady do to Vivian on "Days of Our Lives," your Valentine might not appreciate being kidnapped or locked somewhere (usually?).

Want to play hide and seek this Valentine’s Day? Why not hide your Valentine’s gift and have him or her search for it? Sure beats hiding him or her away from the world!

3. Do not Lie or keep secrets: This is a no-brainer! Keeping secrets and lying to your partner is something to definitely avoid this Valentine’s Day. Natalie and Brody on "One Live to Live" have been lying to their significant others, John and Jessica, about their one night stand. This resulted in Natalie's baby's DNA test proving that Brody, not John, is her son's father. Neither John, Jessica nor Brody know this.

On "All My Children," Green Lee wouldn’t tell her fiancé, Ryan that his ex-girlfriend Madison is pregnant with his baby. Can anyone else see where these webs of lies will lead?

If you’re going to tell white lies this Valentine’s Day, it might as well be to plan a surprise for your Valentine!

2. Do not Impregnate yourself without your man's consent: Trying to get some serious commitment from your partner this Valentine’s Day? Drugging them into sleeping with you to get you pregnant may tie you two together, but probably won’t make him too happy. Take it from Daniel on "The Young And The Restless" after the psycho Daisy drugged him and pretended to be Amber so that he’d have sex with her. Ashley impregnated herself with Victor’s sperm to have Abby. Years ago, on "Days of our Lives," the whacky Vivian stole Kate and Victor’s Petri-dish baby so that she’d carry their son, Philip. As you can see, none of these couples are still together, kid or no kid!If you really want to start a family, why not say it with a gift, like lingerie?

1. Do not Try to kill him or her: The number one thing you probably shouldn’t do to your Valentine... If you want to have a Valentine this Love day, it’s not a great idea to kill him or her, is it? After almost tying the knot with EJ on Days of our Lives, Sami learned the truth about EJ kidnapping her daughter. With Kate’s warnings that EJ was going to take the kids and run, Sami ended up shooting her ex in the head. Red may be the color of love, but a bloody Valentine isn’t the most romantic now, is it?

Opt for something else that’s red – roses, a heart-shaped box of chocolates –anything that says "I want you alive."

Health / We Sleep To Forget Things, New Study Reveals by VastFinder: 6:50am On Feb 13, 2017
Sleep is as mysterious as it is vital for our wellbeing. Over the decades, researchers have proposed several mechanisms through which sleep rejuvenates us, but we still don’t fully understand the big picture. Now, two recently published studies come up with an interesting explanation: we sleep to forget some of the things we learn during the day.

We store memories in networks in our brains. Whenever we learn something new, we grow new connections between neurons, called synapses. In 2003, Giulio Tononi and Chiara Cirelli, biologists at the University of Wisconsin-Madison,proposed something very interesting: during the day, we learn so much and develop so many synapses that things sometimes get fuzzy. Since then, the two and their collaborators have made quite a few interesting additions to that study.

For starters, they showed that neurons can prune out some synapses, at least in the lab. But they suspected the same things happens every day, naturally, in our brains — probably during sleep. So they set up a painstaking experiment, in which Luisa de Vivo, an assistant scientist working in their lab, collected 6,920 synapses from mice, both awake and sleeping. Then, they determined the shape and size of all these synapses, learning that the synapses in sleeping mice were 18 percent smaller than in awake ones. That’s quite a big margin. “That there’s such a big change over all is surprising,” Dr. Tononi said. This was a big tell and helped direct their efforts.

After this, they designed a memory test for mice. They placed the animals in a room where they would get a mild electrical shock if they walked over one particular section of the floor. They injected some of the mice with a substance that had been proved to prevent the pruning of new synapses. The mice that experienced this were much more likely to forget about the section and after a good night’s sleep, they tended to walk over the section again, while mice that slept normally remembered better.

Then, Dr. Tononi and his colleagues found that the pruning didn't strike every neuron. Some 20% were unchanged, likely well-established memories that shouldn’t be tampered with. In other words, we sleep to forget — but in a smart way. Another interesting consequence might concern sleeping pills. These pills might interfere with the brain’s pruning process and might prevent the brain from forming memories properly.

Markus H. Schmidt, of the Ohio Sleep Medicine Institute, said that the studies make a very good point and found one of the benefits of sleep, but he questions whether this is the reason why we sleep.

“The work is great,” he said of the new studies, “but the question is, is this a function of sleep or is it the function?”

Of course, it would be very difficult to replicate this study on humans.

Health / Position Of The Hospitality Industry In Nigerian Economy by VastFinder: 5:56am On Feb 13, 2017
The school system in Nigeria is often influenced by the constant changes that are occurring within the political institutions. The ability of the stakeholders and actors within the educational system to adapt to the organizational changes has attracted attention in the last decade.

Currently, there is controversy as to the nature, pattern and methods of training teachers in the country. At the centre of the controversy is the confusion over the role of the educational administrators in secondary schools.

Teaching involves the use of wide body of knowledge about the subject being taught. Teachers at all levels of the educational system are very important in the overall development of any nation. Teachers’ education is the process which nurtures prospective teachers and updates qualified teachers’ knowledge and skills in the form of continuous professional development.

It is on this basis that the educational administrators play several roles in teacher education in Nigeria. The term, teachers training in this study is used interchangeably with teachers education.

Teachers’ education revolves around the policies and procedures designed to equip prospective teachers with the knowledge, attitude, behaviour and skills required in the performance of effective duties in the classrooms and in other social gatherings including churches.

Teachers’ education is often divided into three stages namely:

*. Initial teacher training.
*. The induction process involving the training and supports of the trainees during the 1st few years of teaching or the 1st year in a particular school.
*. Teacher development or continuing performing development and intensive process for practicing teachers.

Crime / Possible Solutions To Human Trafficking In Nigeria by VastFinder: 8:40pm On Feb 09, 2017
Human trafficking has become a bad menace and for us to over this, all hands must be on the deck to this problem. It is a modern day slavery that everybody must fight to a standstill. Below are possible suggestions on best ways to fight against human trafficking in Nigeria.

You can easily provide required help to victims of human trafficking only if you know about the indicators of human trafficking.

Both young and old can get such knowledge by attending human trafficking awareness trainings. It has become a serious issue that most organization group across the country must include it as part of human development in their organizations.

Once you notice any case of human trafficking or you suspect that such a thing is ongoing, never hesitate to report to the appropriate government security agencies that can handle such things. The Nigeria Police Force is one of the Organizations to inform about this act (Police are your Friend).

You must never hesitate to become a volunteer in your community or set up a volunteer group that will be vigilant against human trafficking act. This will help to curb the menace faster, while the government is left alone to do the fighting.

After setting up such a community awareness program against human trafficking, make sure you make the government aware of such so that they can give you required recognition and assistance when you need.

Public awareness is the one of the key to fighting against human trafficking. You and members of your volunteer groups should hold public awareness programs to counter human trafficking. It will positively help your effort since it will get the general public aware of the problem, which will make it easier to curb human trafficking.

Education / History Of Nigerian Education System by VastFinder: 6:48am On Feb 07, 2017
Many will be so much Interested in surfing the net, when it comes to History of Nigeria. Mot only that, them it would be preferable by all if it its History of Nigeria Education sector.

Education in Nigeria did not start when the Europeans came; education had been part and parcel of this country long before those Europeans brought in western form of education to the African West coast.

In those days, children were taught by the adults about the works, survival skills, social activities and culture that prevailed in those days. While the western form of education is being imparted formerly, these other forms of education were taught to the children in informal manner. Be that as it may, they achieved their expected end.

Despite the fact that the western form of education had not come in those days, there were some Nigerian societies that taught their kids about cultures, social responsibilities and other things in formal manner. This is to say Nigeria was an organized entity long before the Europeans came. For example, the children and youth of those days were taught about rite passages and a host of other things in rather formal manners. They might not be able to read and write European letters, but they had grounded knowledge about their cultures and societal practices.

When the people from the western world came to Nigerian, they started building their own form of education on the already established cultural and societal backgrounds.

When it all began
It was in the 1840s; that was when the Europeans invaded Nigeria with their own form of education. It all started in those coastal cities of Nigeria, like Calabar and Lagos, along with a host of other coastal cities. Few decades after, many European schools were already established in these coastal cities with Nigerian students on admission in such schools. These students were taught mostly by European teachers, who taught them how to read and write. Mode of teaching in these schools was English language.

It must be noted that Great Britain, Nigeria’s colonial masters, did not contribute anything to education in Nigeria. Rather, it was the missionaries and churches that sowed the seed of western education in Nigeria. Only very few schools were funded by the British colonial masters in those days.

However, many Nigerian graduates were allowed to study at universities in Great Britain on scholarships, many of which were given by the British government.

The British government was actually not interested in expanding western education in Nigeria; they were only interested in giving grant to mission schools to carry out such expansion.

Northern part of Nigeria is predominantly occupied by Muslims. In those days, the people of authority in this part of the country actually prohibited western education; they opted rather for Islamic education. Reason for such prohibition was because the religious leaders in this part of the country did not like the idea of the Europeans interfering with their religion.

Consequently, lots of Islamic schools were established in the northern part if the country and they taught their kids only about Islamic religion as the sole form of education. It was only at a later time that they started yielding to the inevitable pull of western education. Despite their yield, some of them still combine both Islamic and western education together.

How things stand today
Things have really changed today. It is now on record that up to 78% of men in Nigeria are educated in the western way and that up to 64% of women have received western education. The result was arrived at based on the level of English literacy obtainable in Nigeria. The percentages do not mean all those people have received university education; it only means that they had passed through one form of western education institution or the other.

It must also be stated that this statistics is based on results obtained mainly from the southern part of Nigeria; many of the northern states in Nigeria are still hell-bent on Islamic education alone and some of them still see western education as haram.

Be it Islamic or western education, Nigerians are educated one way or the other. It can therefore be said that Nigeria is a nation filled with the educated.

Only two higher institutions were present in Nigeria as at the time Nigerian got her independence from Great Britain. These higher institutions were Yaba Higher College and University College, Ibadan. Yaba Higher College was founded in 1934 and University College, Ibadan was founded in 1948. Later, Yaba Higher College had its name changed to Yaba College of Technology, while the name of University College, Ibadan was changed to University of Ibadan.

Several years after Nigeria’s independence, several other universities were formed and some of them are University of Lagos; Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria; Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife; and University of Nigeria, Nsukka. University of Benin was founded in 1970.

Federal universities were founded in other parts of the country at a later date, and this was how cities, like Maiduguri, Sokoto, Port Harcourt, Jos, Ilorin and Calabar got federal Universities around the 1980s.

At a later date, the government established institutions of agriculture and polytechnics across Nigeria in cities like Kaduna and Lagos.

As at 1980, it was recorded that up to 12 million Nigerian students were enrolled in primary schools. Up to 1.2 million children were enrolled in secondary school in that year also. Furthermore, teachers training colleges had up to 240,000 students on enrolment. Up to 75,000 students had gained admission into universities as at that year. These numbers do not include those Nigerians that gained admission into foreign universities.

The decay of today
Yes, Nigeria had it good in times past. We started very well on the path to educational liberation, but it is unfortunate that education state in Nigeria as at present is nothing to write home about. There is great decline in education systemand values in Nigeria today and many university graduates are unfortunately unemployable since many of them are half-baked graduates.

What is the way forward?
No one can actually say. The government has lots of work to do and the teachers too need to be proactive. Another factor that seems to be drawing education backward in Nigeria is the poor quality of teachers being produced today. Nigeria really has a long way to go if the country is to get better educationally.

The current President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. He is hated by Nigerians living in the South East and South-South regions of the country. Now that he is also the Minister of Petroleum in Nigeria, the hate for him has graded up high due to the fuel scarcity rocking the nation.

Ayodele Fayose: Governor of Ekiti State. This out-spoken man is widely hated for his series of hate campaigns through the media against President Muhammadu Buhari prior to the 2015 presidential elections and he is still critical about the President months after the elections.

Senator Ahmed Sanni Yerima: Former Governor of Zamfara State and Senator of the Federal Republic. He is highly hated for his strong support of the implementation of Sharia law in the northern part of the country with his state being widely regarded as the home of Sharia; and his marriage a few years back to a young girl of 13.

Rotimi Amaechi: Prior to his recent appointment as Minister of Transportation, he was one time speaker and governor of Rivers state. He was formerly a PDP member before he defected to the ruling party. He is regarded as a betrayer of the people of the south-south region and the PDP. He was among those that helped unseat the immediate president, Goodluck Ebele Jonathan.

Rochas Okorocha: He is the Current Governor of Imo state and is disliked my many Igbos due to his alignment with the ruling party and his strong support by the President. He is known for giving speeches his people dislike.

The very out-spoken lawyer is widely hated for his multiple attacks against President Muhammadu Buhari, which many Nigerians deemed malicious and baseless and for some very controversial comments he made about the Igbo race.

Reuben Abati: Special Adviser on Media and Publicity to former President, Goodluck Jonathan. He is widely hated for his strong defence of government policies and stands — regardless of whether the policies are widely accepted or not.

Lai Mohammed: Prior to his recent appointment as Minister of Information, he was the spokesperson of the ruling party the APC. Many Nigerian tagged him to be 'Lie Mohammed' due to his reliance on heavy propaganda.

Elder Godsday Orubebe: Former minister for the Niger Delta. Widely hated for his attempts at disrupting the proceedings of the 2015 presidential election collation, during which he was acting as a polling agent for the PDP. Ever since, the name ‘Orubebe’ has become synonymous with trouble.

Education / History Of Islamic Education In Nigeria: How It All Began by VastFinder: 4:53pm On Feb 04, 2017
Islam came into Nigeria in the 9th century and this was the time Islamic education began in the country. Islamic domination and Islamic education began in the Bornu Empire; that is, in the northern part of Nigeria; this was during the time of Mai Idris Alooma, who reigned till 1603.

Aside Islamic schools, the king also furthered the establishment of Islamic pilgrimage, building of mosques, Islamic courts and the likes.

Islamic education spread further from the Borno Empire to other parts of Nigeria in the years that followed. By the 16th century, many of the cities in northern Nigeria were already practicing Islam and the Islamic education system was already established in them. Islamic system of education later moved to the middle Beltan part of Nigeria.

Islamic religion and Islamic education came into the southwestern part of Nigeria during the reign of Mansa Musa of the Mali Empire. This was during the reign of the Abbasi Dynasty.

Movement to southwestern part of Nigeria and the establishment of Islamic education was due to incursion of Arab traders from North Africa down the northern region, across the river Niger into the southwestern part of Nigeria.

There are evidences however that Islamic education came to the southwest from Mali, hence the name “Esin Imale” given to it by the Yoruba people. “Esin Imale” means religion of the Malians.

The Malian traders that brought the religion into Yoruba land were called the Wangara Traders and they were the ones that established the first set of Islamic schools in the region.

The first sets of Islamic schools were established in the southwestern part of Nigeria between the 14th and 15th century. The education system further took root between the 18thand 19thcentury.The above means Islamic education came into Nigeria long before Christian education. The very first mosque to be built in Yoruba land was built in 1550 AD in Oyo-Ile. This also served as the venue for Islamic education.

Truth is no Yoruba kid was attending the Islamic schools as at that time; the mosques were built to meet the spiritual and education needs of the foreigners coming in from Mali and other parts of Nigeria into the southwest.

Soon, mosques were built in other towns in Yoruba land, like Ede, Ikirun, Ijebu-ode, Abeokuta, Ibadan and Oyo. This incursion happened in the 18thcentury and the mosques also served as centers for Islamic schools in these towns.

The destruction of Oyo led to the scattering of Muslims in the town to other towns around and this further led to the spread of Islam and the Islamic education system.

The intertribal war in Yoruba land further led to the spread of Islamic teachers across Yoruba land, since these Islamic teachers were acting as amulet makers and spiritual guides to the Yoruba soldiers.

The first form of Islamic school was established as Koranic Centers and purpose was to teach people about the Koran. These Koranic centers also taught Islamic studies. Later, the Muslims started establishing conventional schools, where they expose new converts to other forms of education.

Food / Recipe: How To Prepare Suya Spiced Chicken Nuggets by VastFinder: 4:54pm On Feb 03, 2017
This started as a craving for some McDonalds chicken nuggets. I would have just bought some but the God of self-control is alive and well.

I can’t indulge too much in deep fried stuff (except Buns and Scotched egg because they are life and I would always fall for them).

I wanted some heat in this chicken but I also wanted my Relatives to be able to enjoy it. I introduced most of the heat into the breading instead of the chicken itself. I used my signature *** in order to keep the chicken pieces moist and busting with flavors.

This is one recipe you want to try, it will be enjoyed by adults and kids alike.

Prep time: 10 mins
Cook time: 40 mins
Total time: 50 mins

Ingredients
For The chicken

*. 6 pieces boneless skinless chicken thighs (or 3 breasts) – Cut into bite size pieces
*. 1 maggi cube
*. ½ teaspoon salt
*. ½ teaspoon ginger powder
*. 2 tablespoons plain yogurt
*. 2 garlic cloves (minced) breading
*. ½ - 1 cup panko or bread crumbs or crushed crushed plain cornflakes
*. ½ teaspoon salt

Other Ingredients
*. 1 tablespoon suya spice
*. ½ cup flour
*. 2 large eggs
*. 2 tablespoons VERY cold butter – cut into small chunks

Directions
*. Combine all chicken ingredients.
Set aside to marinate for 30 minutes.

*. Line a baking sheet with parchment, set aside. Preheat oven to 400F
*. In a large bowl, toss together all breading ingredients. Set aside
*. Add flour to a bowl, mix in suya spice - set aside
*. Crack and beat eggs in another bowl, set aside
*. A couple pieces at a time, generously coat chicken pieces in flour then toss into egg mix and finally into breading.
*. Shake off any loose coating and place on lined oven tray. Repeat until all the pieces are breaded.
*. Top breaded chicken with butter chunks and bake for 15- 20 minutes
*. Broil for an additional 5 minutes

Serve and enjoy!!

Great recipe isn't it?
