LEADERS AND HEIRS ACADEMY SCHOOL FOR FUTURE LEADERS Children in the UK finish secondary at 16/17. Children in the US and Canada finish secondary school at 17/18... a few of them 19. The British children would still go ahead and graduate by 21/22. The Americans and Canadians will still go ahead and graduate at 22/23/24. Or a few years more for courses of more than 5 years. In Nigeria, skipping classes is now the order of the day. Every parent claims their children are the genius and smartest and too intelligent to do all classes. For the life of me; I don't understand what a child who is less than 16 is doing in a University or any tertiary institution for that matter. Where the hell are you rushing these children to? And no! Those who skip classes are most often NOT among the most intelligent. In my primary school, I can remember that the best five students in our class did NOT skip any class. I know the top students in my primary school and we know that mos...

Nigerian governors, especially those for whom he said he was inspecting their projects have distanced themselves from the public ordeal of former minister of aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode following a calamitous press conference in Calabar Cross River State that has drawn massive backlash from citizens and civil society groups across the nation. The former special adviser to former President Olusegun Obasanjo had claimed that he visited six states across Nigeria over the last six weeks. However in a curious turn of events, none of the governors have spoken in defence of what Daily Trust newspaper described as “not only reprehensible, but also constitute a setback of press freedom, in a most dire form” after Fani-Kayode verbally harrassed the newspaper’s journalist and Calabar Correspondent, Eyo Charles. The governor of Cross River, Ben Ayade, in whose state the denigration of the journalist took place is yet to react. A source close to the governor, says he wants to distance hi...

Written by  Eedris Avudi Danjuma  And Anold Ali Ovurevu This is a Good and Serious wake up call. Ebira Compatriots, this is for you👇 Dear Ebira of good conscience, Most of our public schools will no longer exist in the next 10 years. Almost all schools in Etahi in Okene are gone. Thanks to Ebira barbarians who chosen to convert those school premises to residents. It took the intervention of Old students of AAAMCO to prevent them from turning the campus to residential. The barbarianism is spreading across Ebiraland.  The former OTC is gone. OSS is gone. Some of these uncivilised idiots even had the audacity to go to court to claim their clan donated the lands. And so what?! It is Igala you expected to donate Lands for schools in Ebiraland? How can you hide under retrogressive clan to take lands from schools as if children of Ebira don't deserve education anymore. At the time we need to expand our educational structures to accommodate growing population, these ...

Written by Muhammed Ibn Muhammed Izala is a sect that can not trace their leader(s) to hundreds of years back. Do they really understand the word INNOVATION(Bid'a)? How many of them have their biological Father & grandfather as Izala? How many of them were even taught and mentored by Izala? How can a sect who refer themselves Ahalil Sunnah Muslims not sincerely love Prophet Muhammad Rasulullah ﷺ endlessly? And how can they not love the Awliya'Allah(Learned Scholars) who practically lived their entirety in propagating ISLAM through the fear of Allah and love of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ? Haven't they read the story of Khidr(RTA) and Prophet Musa(ASW) in Surah Al-Khaf? Tariqatu Tijjaniyah had existed as Ahalil-Sufa during the time of Prophet Muhammad Rasulullah(SAW).  They were recognized so much that Allah(SWT) described them in the Glorious Qur'an. We challenge the Izalas to give us a date of their existence. Below are some of the Ayats(Proves) of the noble Qur'an that...

Written by Musa uninabuja WHERE IS JUSTICE?, WHERE IS ONE NORTH?, WHERE IS ONE NIGERIA?   Renounce Prof Adam Okene Ahmed Abere       I have had cause to argue with some people that Nigeria is not for all citizens but recent development in our prestigious military institution; Nigerian Defence Academy (N.D.A) is making me to think twice. If professor of international repute; Professor Adams Abere of History and diplomatic studies in the revered institution who contested for the position of Provost and appointed as the acting Provost( ???) could be so casually disposed and replaced with someone who never participated in the selection exercise, then one wonders the kind of country we are yearning to realise our collective destiny. I began to smell a rat when he was appointed on acting capacity. A society that thrives and condones injustice, is a society that is doomed to fail. This ugly development in the nation's military Alh. Shuaib Akaaba...

Marriage between a woman and a man need Understanding, Patience, Faith and Courage before it can work. Before marriage, we all thought that once the knots are tied, this life go sweet die. Only you with your man/woman, enjoying, partying, shopping, doing somersaults anyhow, this, that, yen yen yen😂... Akụkọ🤣 Most of us didn't consider the pressures that would come from home keeping, financial pressure on the family, stress from inlaws, friends, coping with the demands of our jobs while securing the home front, etc. We didn't even think that a time would come when little discussions could result to very big quarrels, and you could actually keep malice with your partner, and say to hell with him/her.  We thought having sex everyday would just be fun since we've gotten the licence to be weird, we never imagined that we would one day be forming tayad in the oza room😀. We thought everything would just go as planned and we will live happily ever after, never did w...
