  They have been leaving before I was born. By the time my grand children become grand parents, MIGRATION will continue to happen. Yes, it's called "Migration". In Nigeria, where EVERYTHING; from the straying of a husband or wife, to too much rainfall is blamed on the government, its the fault if Mr. President. People have always moved; locally and internationally. Its not new. It seems more now, because the world population is also growing by the minute.  In Nigeria, there are British, Canadian, American, Indian, etc., DOCTORS. Again, it's called "MIGRATION". Their nationals are not cursing out their governments. Free citizens of the world have the right to relocate to other nations. Even though there are more people leaving the US and the UK than Nigeria, a search online, would mostly throw up the exaggerated Nigerian figures.  We must learn to stand with our nation, always. When we go out there, cursing our nation and bringing down her image by painting h

BRIEF ON WAI BRIGADE VOLUNTEERS

Background On March 20, 1984, the then Chief of Staff, Supreme Headquarters, Major-General Babatunde Idiagbon launched a campaign on ‘National Consciousness and Enlightenment’  at the National Theatre, Igamu, Lagos which lifted the nation into a sphere of national awareness and prepared ground for the then Head of State, Commander-in-Chief, Major-General Muhammadu Buhari’s clarion call that we are all Nigerians and we must fight indiscipline. This formed the basis for the nationalism and patriotism campaign, the third phase of National Consciousness and Enlightenment – the WAI crusade which was launched in Jos, Plateau State, on Monday, August 27, 1984 with emphasis on the National Symbols – the Flag, the National Anthem, the Pledge and the Coat-of-Arms. The War Against Indiscipline (WAI) Brigade was formed therefore to give practical effect to the campaign against indiscipline. It is a uniformed voluntary association of able-bodied young men and women trained and ex

ANIOMA STATE - MY PASSION

Welcome to my blog. OMG! I can't believe I'm blogging!! Its true, I am blogging. When my children bullied me into acquiring a blackberry phone a year ago, I had no idea that I would ever come to blogging. You see, Most people in my generation are terrified, yes terrified of the common PC. As a teacher, I have met with adults who break into sweat at the thought of having to sit in front of a computer. I think I have done well in terms of following modern technology, particularly as it relates to the internet. Not only can I 'ping' and 'blog', I can set up what I need to take part in a webinar e-meeting ( I am not explaining what a webinar is. If you can't work it out, you only have Prince Emmanuel Ohai, the able convener of the Movement for the Creation of Anioma State, to ask, he got me hooked) I almost got carried away by technology. I am passionate about all that I do. If I believe in it, I do not do half measures, I go all out f
