A Call to Accountability: An Open Letter to NAOSS National Leadership - EMO writes

Image
  As a concerned student leader, it is with utmost disappointment that I address the current leadership of the National Association of Osun State Students (NAOSS) National, under the stewardship of Akinnibi Miftau Oyenpemi. It is imperative to articulate our collective dissatisfaction and demand immediate transparency and action. Approximately three months ago, NAOSS National announced that the Osun State Government was set to disburse bursaries to 100 indigent students per local government. Given that there are 30 local governments in Osun State, plus the Ife East Area Office, a total of 3,100 students were slated to benefit from this initiative. To facilitate this, a sum of ₦2,000 was collected per student as NAOSS dues, supposedly to ensure the beneficiaries' eligibility for the bursary.

NIGERIAN POLITICIANS AND THE MASSES,  ARE WE STILL BRETHREN? There can be no democracy without truth. There can be no fact without discussion, there can be no change without opportunity. Without opportunity, there can be no advancement. -Casting a ballot is the best way to make a change in a democracy. Let us use democracy to make the world a better place Challenges to true democracy: Poverty and poor education  POVERTY and poor education continue to be two impeding factors to true democracy in Nigeria. Democracy as a concept of governance finds the best expression when the masses and members of the grassroots fully participate in the decision-making process, without any influence whatsoever.

"No matter the form of Christianity you practice,if there's no love in your heart, the sincerity and authenticity of your Christianity is questionable" If your character is not good, Don't confuse people again Renounce your faith.

Develop a Supportive attitude Supportive Attitude - As a community of believers, our job is to lift up our brothers and sisters.

Joseph was 28 years old and in prison. While in prison he was in the same cell with two other men. One night both men had separate dreams. Joseph interpreted both dreams and in three days things happened exactly the way he said. This is where the story gets interesting. Eleven years earlier, Joseph also had a dream.
