                    <description><![CDATA[Left to quest on the journey of no return,<br />
I bid you farewell on this trip to Saturn;<br />
How shall you, my dear, survive,<br />
In this planet with nothing to revive?<br />
<br />
Your ebullient boss,<br />
Down on earth in your initial hose;<br />
Barked orders to you in the eye of the dragon,<br />
Who knows better way to win and get done?<br />
<br />
You in the real live,<br />
Or him in the theoretical hive?<br />
That’s what superiors do,<br />
Giving orders even to their boo.<br />
<br />
How shall the opulent understand suffering,<br />
If he has not lived in such bearing?<br />
How shall the poor envision riches,<br />
Without bits of such stitches?<br />
<br />
<br />
The best people to define a pain;<br />
Are those in the realms of its rain,<br />
Not those who think they know,<br />
They are Change’s greatest foe.<br />
<br />

                    <description><![CDATA[Just like the bringing down of the World Trade Center, so was it sudden and fictional when I heard the death of Michael Jackson yesterday. The great pop star could not out-dance death.<br />
<br />
Hmm. Death is what i called: THE UNIVERSAL CROWN. It does not matter if you're a king or maid, black or fair; it just takes its toll on the rich as does to the poor.<br />

May his soul Rest In Peace.]]></description>

                    <link>http://dainfinity.tigblog.org/post/714205</link> 
                    <description><![CDATA[We are at it again. The National body of Academic Staff Union of University (ASUU) in Nigeria yesterday embarked upon an indefinite strike action, coming after a warning strike of some weeks ago.<br />
<br />
The Government , according to the union, has been very receptive to their demands and eeven the compromise that was reached by both parties from a negotiation led by the reknowned Gamaliel Onosode on behalf of the Government.<br />
<br />
Sometimes in 2006, an indefinite strike of such that lasted 6 months occured. Days passes swfitly, who knows what happens now? In hope the parties involved - Government and ASUU - would resolve in no time to pave way for the progress of the youths.<br />
<br />
Let all this old men and women in both parties stopped being selfish and let them think of us for a while.<br />
<br />
The truth is non of this parties are conquesting in the interest of the students. Even the porpoted 26% of bugdet allocation to education, I'm sure is not in our interest. At least, many of these lecturers rarely come to class and those that come, we know what they are like.<br />
<br />
Ejo, e ro ti wa mo ti yin - (Yoruba language, meaning - consider us in your priorities.<br />

                    <description><![CDATA[Before I could open my eyes, it is yet another day, another start of a working week. Iranians are still on with their protests, the injured in Pakistan Taliban war are writhing in pain, the Militants in the Niger Delta region in Nigeria are yet to make a U-turn, the Znox case of killing a fellow student goes on in Italy, the 2009 Confederations Cup rolls on with goals… and the list is just beginning.<br />
<br />
With complications everywhere, will this day; week be different? That was the question that mornings my heart. Thoughtful was I for unheard answers. Then I asked: “Was there none of these yesterday?” It was from the answer that you are thinking that I finally realized; it is another day with the same people, no difference. But if only we could do things a bit different; nag less, greed less, cheat less…or better still do them for progressively to no one’s detriment- IMPOSSIBLE- things could get better.<br />
<br />
You however can do that you are doing or about to do better. <br />
…It begins with you.<br />

                    <description><![CDATA[Iran's election went through without violence but the aftermart of the outcome has sent the Capital, Tehran, into disarray. Moussavi that had the support of the women and the youth was not favoured. The streets of Tehran is having road blocks and burning tires. The University of Tehran was not spared has students protested the results has well.<br />
<br />
The fishy part of the result however is that the largerf percentage of voters are women and youth most of who supported Mossavi.<br />
<br />
Let's hope things do not go bad beyond what is on now in Iran. <br />
<br />
But why can't the people's wish be done in the spirit of true democracy?]]></description>

<br />
My thinking is that if Saro Wiwa was to be alive what will he have wanted such money to be used for? If the government had yielded to his outcry maybe things would not be as pessimistic as they are in the present Niger Delta.]]></description>

                    <link>http://dainfinity.tigblog.org/post/681883</link> 
                    <description><![CDATA[Condemnation has trailed the unrepentant nuclear test by North Korea. The White House, China, Russia and even their sister country, South Korea, has vehemently called the act as threat to international peace. While the international community is uncomfortable, North Korea celebrates what they see as joining the community of nuclear weaponry owners. Pyongyang’s defiance was claimed to be a violation of the 1953 International Armistice Act to which North Korea claimed she no more belonged.<br />
<br />
I will not castigate North Korea in terms of what they are into but the general “International Nuclear Family.” I see North Korea as saying they have the capability of nuclear weapon mastery and they are displaying it. Of what good would this be in the possession of all the countries that have it? Our leaders seat at the forefront and beef up security to the future unseen. Why would one country lack this if she can produce it? Better still, while should the others have it anyway? It sure will take a defiance like that of North Korea to do such. The alliance that South Korea made with the International Community has however made their northern neighbor tell them that such act calls for war. If these leaders could scream such threat, I am beginning to see how less the citizens are important to them. Where two elephants fight, the grass bears the brunch. I hope these people consider their people in every step they take in this regard.<br />

                    <description><![CDATA[YOU ARE ILL<br />
<br />
The context of health might have definitions to constrain it into citable issue, it, in the actual sense, spans through a longer telescoped viewpoint. The World Health Organization in 1948 defined health as; "a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity". While it is agreeable largely, the Africa community and indeed Nigeria is more concerned at deteriorating health status than the healthy status of citizens. Unfortunately, even the facilities available are inadequate, yet little is done about promoting good health.<br />
<br />
The mental health of many people is indeed not commendable, as stress seem to have besieged the Nigerian community and the world at large. Social relevance is also a monster in the social health status of people, considering the unemployment rates and the global financial crisis epidemic. With these two ill health status, the physical wellbeing of the population is threatened. <br />
The internal clock of humans, technically called the Circadian Rhythm, is not what most job demands. Family pressure, relationship crises, survival, etc, have shaped people to be convenient with inconvenience. The seat of consciousness in man is on daily basis getting used to conditions that are murky. According to the Internal Biological Clock in man, sleep is deepest and most enjoyed at 2:00am (www.wikipedia.org). Yet this time is just about the time many people are on their toes. Insufficient input as against the output on daily basis, have taken hold of both the elite class and the illiterate. This makes it more unhelpful when diseased states are discovered. <br />
<br />
Rather than narrowly facing the challenges of diseased states, campaign for healthy living should begin to attract more attention. The influx and subsequent acceptance of Tradomedicine into the present day world should be controlled by national agencies to prevent the rapid growth of death due to them as many uncertified herbal medicines are finding their way into the community on daily basis with a major intent of making money. <br />

                    <description><![CDATA[I'm not talking on fund raising, so what I'll be saying will be more  the 'job'. If you've ever wanted to produce a magazine with your passion for writing and/or little fund, some of the important things you should consider include:<br />
<br />
1) WHY MAGAZINE: You don't have to walk the other peoples' idea that has been water if you cannot be creative enough. So, if you just want to produce a magazine for a vague purpose, then you are just disgracing the media folk. Identify why the print media is your choice and work on it, because if its on e a level of a varing push, you might get bored in the whole process of production; its sa very tiring one for beginners! So question youyrself: "IS THIS THE BEST WAY TO REACH MY TARGET AUDIENCE?"<br />
<br />
2)CONTENT: That you can write does not mean all that has to be in your magazine should be written. NO! You might want to produce a pictorial magazine, mixed, interviews, sport-tennis, soccer-etc<br />

                    <title>GUN SHOT AT PROTESTING STUDENTS...won fe pa wa</title> 
                    <link>http://dainfinity.tigblog.org/post/295667</link> 
                    <description><![CDATA[Ladoke Akinttola University of Technology(LAUTECH), Ogbomoso, has been undergoing some unrest for some time now. This was due to the inhumane increase in the tuition fee of the students from six thousand five hundred naira to a whooping sixty thosand naira. This however led the students representative to visit the co-owners of the instituion. <br />
<br />
Their visit to the Executive Governor of Osun State, Prince Olagunsoye Oyinlola, two days ago did not yield good fruit as the Governor was quoted to have said that those that cannot afford it should leave since it is not compulsory for average family to go to school. This led to their going to the office of the Oyo State Governor, Otunba (Dr.) Christopher Adebayo Alao-Akala yesterday, 27th November, 2007. They `were however scared away with gunshots while trying to force their way into the premises. Special Adviser to the Governor on public matters, Pince Dotun Oyelade, confirmed it himself that gunshots were fired but no one was injured. Information however has it that a student was shot.<br />
<br />
The heart-rending part of the story however, ies the use of firearms rather than Tear Gas, to dissolve the students protests. The same was what happened on Thursday, 22nd of November, 2007, at the premises of the school, when the students started their protest. The Alaafin of Oyo and the Special Adviser to oyo State government, Chief Layiwola Olakojo, were at the school for a programme, when the students started their peaceful protest and obstructed the road with one of their buses.<br />
<br />
It however took the firing of gunshots into the air before this people felt the students could allow them move.<br />
<br />
Very soon, i know that shooting at the students would be the next way to dissolve their bound.<br />
<br />
We urge the infant ministry of youth to raise for our course and other NGOs. The loive and course of youths look insignificants to these nits.<br />

                    <title>THE OLDEST LIVING ANIMAL IS AFRICAN!</title> 
                    <link>http://dainfinity.tigblog.org/post/265913</link> 
                    <description><![CDATA["Addwaitya", an Aldabra tortoise, is believed to have lived for 250 years, before his death, on 24th March, 2006, at Kolkata zoo in Calcutta (www.discoverychannel.ca). Presently however, Harriet has been eyed since November 2005 as the intending world oldest animal. She was believed to have been picked up on Galapagos by Darwin and taken to England. She was believed then (2005) to have spent past 160 years in Australia. She is expected to celebrate her 175th birthday, next week, thus being revered as the oldest creature on earth.<br />
<br />
But behold! In sub-saharan Africa exists a tortoise, nick named "Alagba". He is found existing in the West African region, precisely Nigeria. He lives in the palace of the Soun of Ogbomoso land, Oba Oladunni Oyewumi (Ajagungbade III), in Oyo State. Alagba is believed to have lived up to 320 years. This though very doubtful, was confirmed by the King himself who said he knew the tortoise while he was a child-prince. He however has spent up to 32 years on the thrown and he is the twentieth King on the throne. Ogbomoso town was founded in mid 1600s(www.wikipedia.org).<br />
<br />
While it was asked most sons of the soli that are aged now, nine out of every ten people knew of the existence of "Alagba" while growing up. Some even said they do go to the palace with their parents back then to look at the animal. <br />
<br />
<br />
All we need are some doubting Archiologists to come and prove us right. You can contact me through this blog if interested or mail me at:dannyibk@yahoo.com<br />

INDEED, THE OLDEST LIVING ANIMAL IS AFRICAN!!!]]></description>

                    <link>http://dainfinity.tigblog.org/post/265013</link> 
                    <description><![CDATA[Today should be day two of exams in Ladoke Akintola University of Technology (LAUTECH), Ogbomoso, but unfortunately, it is not. The last session of meeting and negotiations till yesterday even only confirmed that the strike still continues.<br />
<br />
This is suppose to be the end of session exams despite the last three months strike action by the national body of ASUU. Worst of all is that the end of the strike is unpredictable as both sides seems to be unbent. <br />
<br />
Meanwhile, the national body of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), renewed their request yesterday as they hinted the Federal Government of their intentions to take gross action of their demands are not met in few weeks.<br />
<br />
What step in what direction is this strike action all about? We are just hoping that something good will happen soonest as a miracle. Or alternatively, we as the rearly considered and highly affected should take some aactions so as to help ourselves out.<br />
<br />
The fate of Nigeria education will surely not be positive in these present hands. ]]></description>

                    <description><![CDATA[Well my topic looks like you don't understand? This is it:Ladies I discover (in a hard way though), are pearls of enigma, thus they are meant to be carried with charisma. A guy could really be zealous, but not at the expense of that true solumate of yours. What is success if you don't have people so dearing to rejoice with you? It is obviously incomplete.<br />
<br />
I'm not advocating for letting go your purposeful dreams 'cos of your social life (no such relationship is worth neglecting a purposeful pursuit), but the bitter sincerity is they could exceed their tolerance limit and lo! you might let go the very good hand.<br />
<br />
Another side to this is that misplacement of priorities often occur when you are not with someone with whom your goal align. This often will poss alot of setbacks and many unresolved issues.<br />
<br />
Whatever you do, long as you know the time to get committed to your partner will not be visible, you need not do it at all. So, if you're in one relationship now (guys in particular), please be very , very, serious with your partner. Ladies will always often need maximal attention so don't stifle them. That is often a major demand from them. <br />
<br />
Remember, just as you felt you will be good together, some other guys like you are feeling the same and they might just provid the care she's dying for. <br />
<br />
She would need you to tell her you love her very often, to be with her almost always, to send erotic text messages consistently, calls unluimited, show her off as your heart-throb to as many people around you as possible. In all to be 'ALWAYS' their.<br />
<br />
I'm still trying to win her back as at this. Hey, don't pity me, I'm just paying the price of my negligence of the salient care she needed. So let me pay, 'cos I deserve it. I hope she yields.<br />
<br />
You want to know my story? Then watch out!!!<br />
<br />
Its good to go social sometimes. hope you enjoyed it.<br />

                    <description><![CDATA[The wonderful day when Nigeria could call herself a nation, is celebrated today. While we organize banquets, seminars, rallies, etc, let it stare clear in our minds that this freedom we thrive in today is the toil, labour, struggle, fight and even death of some heros.<br />
<br />
Looking at where we are as a nation, we can not but reminiscence the crushing rule of the military. However, let us not bask too long in the dark story. We are a year older today, how we can as individauls, youth and even groups move the nation to its promise land, should be our focus. Let us  not cry over spilled milk.<br />
<br />
Your faith, strides, believes, initiatives, passion, vision, direction, are what this generation has been waiting for to have a complete reaction. While we also have our thriving ambitions, let us remember that the best way to  get what you want is to help others get what they want. <br />
<br />
Leave history, make history.<br />
<br />
Because you live as a Nigerian gives me and alot of people hope that we can be better than what we are as a nation.<br />
<br />
GOD BLESS NIGERIA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!<br />

                    <description><![CDATA[Fine, alot of youth-driven initiatives are on to change our world. If you ever have the oppurtunity to be in their meeting, you'll understand what they go through before they come out at all to act.<br />
<br />
For the organizations that have been very active, it is not by virtue of how large their membership are, but the passion driven spirit of a limited few. I wrote a poem i called clumsy aspirations, and it what led me it was alot ao visions that I felt, at tat point, i wanted to achieve. I sat and reasoned, then it dawned on me that when there is too much to do, Im often will not be able to do much before time retires.<br />
<br />
This is a major challenge of most of the individual strengths that we have propelling these groups. Most of these people are so over-ambitious that they get little done but do gross talking.<br />
<br />
Most times at meetings, it is talk and talk with flinching and excusses when actions are needed. this sadly, as only driven such groups concerned, a few  or even negligible distance forward.<br />
<br />
I implore youths to do less of taklking, do much of meditative thinking and aot morem of focused and objective actions.<br />
<br />
Remember, "We can stay where we want to if we are ready to pay what it takes to." {ibukun Olagbemiro}.<br />
<br />
While you talk the talk, let us importantly stage the drama and eventually take the worthy steps to action.]]></description>

                    <title>STRAYING THE NATION'S (NIGERIA) FUTURE</title> 
                    <link>http://dainfinity.tigblog.org/post/260949</link> 
                    <description><![CDATA[Exams are signaling in my school (LADOKE AKINTOLA UNIVERSITY OF TECHNOLOGY, LAUTECHOGBOMOSO, OYO STATE, NIGERIA), and expectedly the pressure is on. Alot of students falling sick, tests emanating from different angles and most of all (at least in my school), we are just starting and ending some lectures. <br />
<br />
Some of this late coming and sometimes non-chalant lectures are expressly delievering their lectures with the attitude of expecting the studdents to grab magnetically. <br />
<br />
What practically follow is that the tests and exams often come determinly diffficult to pass. But students always strive harder to get meaningful grades. <br />
<br />
The heart lanceting part of the ordeal is the inputing of the results. How can you explain the wrong input of your result and the subsequent ineptitude plea of the Exam Officers that it is beyond their power to correct a mistake they outrightly made? This is becoming a norm, especially in the Faculty of Basic Medical Science.<br />
<br />
What I likened it to was a surgeon performing an operation and cutting off the wrong vein or muscle, and he comes out to say; "I 'm so sorry, I mistakingly cut off the Jugular Vein of my patient. And now I've lost him." <br />
<br />
What should be done for such a surgeon, I think will do for this Career suffocating officers.<br />
<br />
The effect of this is some students actually giving up to give their best. Wrong focus , attitude, etc, sets in. Thus the subsequentstraying in asome of these helpless students. <br />
<br />
We hope things don't continue with this trend, and wish all students of this Faculty and school at large a resounding success in their exams...against all odds.]]></description>

                    <title>NIGERIA YOUNGSTARS AND THE FUTURE: ARE THEY MAKING THE RIGHT CHOICE?</title> 
                    <link>http://dainfinity.tigblog.org/post/258173</link> 
                    <description><![CDATA[ I had a younger brother and four of his friends come with Mum to Ogbomoso, Nigeria,(where i'm presently schooling) yesterday. They actually came to resume at their new Senior Secondary School all the way from Ibadan (South West Nigeria).<br />
<br />
I called my younger brother and asked him a question i've asked him Alot of times before now. His response, though completely different from what he use to tell me, I was very unhappy about a situation I've being trying to help for some fairly good period of time but have made little progress.<br />
<br />
Answering my uninteresting enquiries, he displeasing told me he was decide this time with his response earlier. This prompted me to inquire into the decisions of the rest of his peers with regards to what I'd previously asked my little brother. And guess what? Not one of them disappointed me as they gave expected answers.<br />
<br />
All of them wanted to be in science class and four of them wanted to be medical doctors in future. But that was not 75% of them would have gone for. What had influenced their deciosion was majorly their parents' wishes and peer influence.<br />
<br />
In a career talk show organized by my secondary school's Alumni early this year, at Oritamefa Baptist Model School, in Oyo state, Nigeria, 85% of the most senior students are hoping to pursue a career decided by their parents and influenced by their peers. With many young people around me, the story is not different.<br />
<br />
With th present obvious shift of the world from Industrial Age to Information Age, will this kids be able to fit into the fast approaching world in few years to come? Sad it is to note that most parents even after living for more than 15 years with their  kids cannot conclude on what they like to do. In other words, it is not with the knowledge of  councelling that this is done, but with obsolete intuition that that is the only way they can be secured in future.<br />
<br />
Without being bias, they are often always wrong because today, most students and youth are going all the way to do things that are immiscible with the courses they offer in school. For instance, many students are good fashion designers today, and they are just counting days to get out of school and start their business. many students like this are studying disciplines that are contrary to their parents dictates.<br />
<br />
In my own little way, i try to organize career talk shows so as to enlighten this kids. They need to be allowed to follow thair heart. Or better still, the services of a councellor be employed, and this, many schools (Primary And Secondary) in Nigeria lack.<br />
<br />
The establishment of functioning and effective Guidiance and Councelling Unit in Nigerian schools will help check this problem ]]></description>
