http://kinsblog.tigblog.org/ What's on the minds of young leaders from around the globe? en-us http://kinsblog.tigblog.org/post/554767
They’ve been together for 3 years running. Regarded as best of friends by all and sundry, the truth which they both admit, yet…
They have been nicknamed husband and wife, girlfriend and boyfriend, yet…
They have known each other so well to their houses and people, yet…
Well, you may say ‘why didn’t they define their friendship?’ - your guess is as good as mine.
Or how do you describe it if he’s been her chief adviser about her boyfriend vis-à-vis she is to him about his girlfriend.

This scenario is not strange to many of us. At least, if there were no gatecrashers, there would be no heart mangers (who cushions your heart when your boyfriend breaks it). Come to think of it, is there any word like boyfriends/girlfriends? It’s better made an issue of latter discuss.

Just one question keeps begging for ideal answers within my heart. Ideal – because I have had many answers already, but how ideal are those answers?

Why is it that when a guy asks a lady out, the answers are always pending? I mean pending – even if you’ve known each other for long, say three years. Just like the scenario above. The guy later asked her out and as usual – “I need to think about it”, was her reply. Even when she has thought over it severally in her imagination their entire three years of togetherness! Or is it possible that it never crossed her mind he could ask her out in the entire years? Funny enough, her ‘yes’ has been prepared in the last three years, why then would she say ‘no’ in the first place?

Not only did she delay for weeks, her mouth was friendly with initial ‘no’ while her heart was beating- ‘yes, yes…’ all this is the time!

It has become more of a law than principle to have ladies delay to communicate their usual initial ‘no’, expecting the guy to persist – sort of branding themselves while putting him in the ‘begging’ mood?
Hear their reasons: ‘Agreeing on the spot makes me look cheap and weak’. Good answer, but I’d rather it’s not ideal enough for the 3-year observing kind of guy. That cheap thing was a trash! In short, pending means ‘no’ especially if you still wait to be pestered and reminded over and over again.
Isn’t it funny? – Your best friend for 3 years. You think he doesn’t know what’s cheap in you or your weak points all these years? That’s not a point! Think about it.
Next, he asks why you are saying no. You want to be smart with him; hence you retort, “I’m already engaged”. Gosh! That’s another blunder you just committed. I may not know the right answer/excuse you could give to ward a guy off, but I am sure of one thing. Tell him you are engaged and you just opened the discussion game for him freely. “Of course I don’t expect a pretty lady like you, intelligent, vibrant…to be single at this age, except there is a problem you don’t want to discuss…” you can imagine a million ways he picks up from there. The truth is your answer was meant to ward him off but it is his most expected answer, to which he has rehearsed possible techniques to sort that out.

Some ladies also think it’s terrible to have such guy as a friend who’s not talking for three years. Well, you may be right but I challenge you – how many of you or your friends are not gatecrashers or gamblers in relationship? You don’t have bystanders who you just think – he would be a right click in case this one fucks up even if he never asked you out. You call it deputy or assistant boyfriend/girlfriend. Besides, you don’t marry your enemies, you marry from your friends and it could be any of them, no matter how close you think you are.
Before I run short of ink, a word for the ladies - remember the men are wired to be impatient naturally, so don’t delay or expect to be pestered to talk. The next time you see the guy, he may just be talking something else while you keep looking to his face, expecting him to ask again and again.

To the guys – abeg, no dey shield these ladies from prospects if you no dey do now. Allow guys who gree do some chance so the lady is not at loss. In short, stop shielding!
Do you think ladies who are interested should ask the guys out? Text first

Going through the school of ‘thinknology’ is not an easy thing to come by among students and even corporate workers in the business circle. This pivots the topic on a cosmopolitan platform in the audience it attracts - both the old and young, working and undergraduate class.

Thinking intelligence as is otherwise called, is a very critical tool to the survival, happiness and success of individuals in their workplaces, family and life as a whole. It is the process of intentional arrangement of thoughts for wonderful results and performance. Very technical as it is, it encompasses the techniques of discerning what to think (selective thinking), how to think (thinking technology), and when/where to think (thinking smartness) and application of ordered thoughts (thinking proficiency).

Needless to highlight the essentials of critical thinking, we would help ourselves by imagining what stands us out from the other species of living entities – the apes, monkeys, guerrilla, buffoons to the least developed species. The advantage you as individual have over them is your capacity to process, refine and apply fresh thoughts to impress smartness over them. Thus, not even the energy most animals have more than you gives them the advantage, but your ability to order thinking patterns and apply them to produce results, give you the competitive advantage.

Foremost, you need to understand that the brain has variations in its performance act at different times and moods of the day. It’s been thought of, that the learning portion of the brain is most impressionable in the early morning and at nights. This thesis might not work for every individual but it has a verifiable fidelity if well examined. Suffice to add that you need to identify the time your brain is most impressionable and avail it to the maximum in a process called THINKING SMARTNESS. You don’t just waste your time for critical thinking by substituting it with a less cerebral work like exercise. This way, your ten-minute thought at this time is more valuable than your thirty-minute thought at other times. The brain is also expansible in capacity, and can be worked upon to produce wonderful results.

Similarly, what you are to think should be factored in, before you determine the best time that will do for the thinking. For instance, thoughts for poetic and emotional works are not best fit for the afternoon when most environments are noisy. However, this time could be very relevant for absorptive or observation thinking. This is the time you can deliberately absorb ideas and visions in the microseconds as it ‘filters’ across your mind. Usually, the stimulants for such thinking are embedded within the environment; hence you must have the capacity to absorb such thoughts or visions, which are to be worked upon (cerebral work) later during the time for cerebral, intellectual and critical thinking (usually at nights) when distractions are minimum. This explains the phenomenon of SELECTIVE THINKING.

Beyond the preceding example, you need know that not every thought that visits your brain should be hosted. That’s why the term ’filter’ has been used to refer to processing of thoughts in above paragraphs. You may not have the control over the things that come to your mind but you have an option of choosing which of them should be hosted or entertained. DANGEROUS THOUGHT is the term used to describe thoughts that deserve no hosting in the brain. For instance, thinking of suicide as an option or panacea to any problem is a thought in this category except in extreme cases of medical termination of lives and its correlates. However, such thoughts are not impossible to pay uninvited visits to your brain in a dampened economy like that of our nation – Nigeria.

Some thoughts that will destroy your life and the thoughts, which mould it, pass through the same channels. That is why persons with psychiatric deviations/disorders are exempted to be tried as accused in the law courts.
For instance, RAPE is a dangerous act that has been premeditated and hosted in the brain as dangerous thoughts for a long time before it reaches a threshold and bursts out to manifest in the act. Thus your cognitive ability to identify good and bad thoughts and filter them through your mind is the THINKING MANAGEMENT level you must reach.

Here is a spice to how you can deliberately filter and manage your thoughts as they come to your mind. As thoughts come, you must first link them to results and consequences. It is very risky to host and build an idea you have not thought out the consequences, no mater how positive or negative they are! Then imagine you are to die in the next few minutes and ask yourself- will I like to have that consequence in my epitaph after my death? Similarly, there is a place of conscience – it is that thing that helps you see why a good is good and why a bad is bad. Usually, deciding good or bad thought doesn’t take much time like processing the thoughts. The conscience has a pre-programmed ability to identify the good and the bad and it usually does this in not more than a few minutes/seconds after the thought hits the mind.
The moment you drag for minutes with your conscience in identifying a good or bad thought, it is usually an indicator that the thought is faulty but you are seeking motivations to engage in it. After identifying whether the thoughts are good or bad, then deliberately ward off the unpleasant thoughts. You must identify the source of that thought and remove it. If it is; an object - remove it; your location - exit the place; people around you – excuse yourself and so on. This process of how you think is another must-reach level called THINKING TECHNOLOGY.

THINKING CONDITIONING is one of the ways to boost the mind for effective thinking performance. Here, you must know the things that ‘put you in mood’, your ‘excitants’ for a particular thinking performance. This also varies with people; for some, it is music while others tap inspiration, (a result of critical thinking) from reading. For some, it is brainstorming that sharpens the mind, while others are ‘put in the mood’ by compliments and applauds. Take for instance, you want to …….. Those things that make you think critically about that subjects are the excitants. You need to have the ability to connect to these excitants to achieve effective thinking. If you have done thinking related to that before, just reminisce/recall the things that were constantly repeated shortly before the thoughts flow. Then connect to them to condition yourself to such thinking. Sometimes it might even be colours. You may have noticed that some colours make you think well more than the others. This is a testimony to the fact that colours are cerebral communicating languages. Some writers can’t write effectively without background music because the thoughts would not flow while such easily distracts some writers. Some cannot think without being well fed; some go to the oceans because it opens their mind to think. Some people are better thinkers in dim lights than bright light. Hence thinking conditioning is the process of making available, all the possible excitants that make you think effectively on a particular subject. Just putting your brain in that congenial atmosphere will do.

Coming practically, you may have noticed that going to funerals usually help you think and appreciate the value of time and speed in your life. This is a typical example of thinking conditioning. Sometimes it happens subconsciously. Low or no noise and being alone help you think with ease.

After good thinking, what next do you do? You need to arrange your thoughts and translate them to results. This phenomenon is called THINKING PROFICIENCY – thinking to get desired results. Here is a clue to arranging your thoughts. It’s called the MIND MAP. To do critical thinking, you need to first identify with thinking smartness, condition your mind to think and open your mind to think. Sit back and write everything that comes to your mind as they come. Initially it may appear distorted like it makes no sense but just write it down. Do not develop the ideas initially because you will be closing the gate to entry of some new visitors, brighter ideas that will amaze you. You get to a limit where continuous flow seem to seize, then link your points/ideas up with arrows or dotted lines and you will find sense in the ‘nonsense’ you thought on paper. From there, group them and further develop the ideas that come lately as you think on each group. This way, you have ordered maintained a constant flow of thoughts, arranged and ordered your thoughts to produce the desired result.

In all, you must think by the day, think by the minute and do split-second thinking when the need arises. This will help you grow immensely, measure your thoughts and succeed gradually by the day. Remember, the brain is expansible in capacity and you do this by thinking consistently. Just like any unused machine, thinking is a lubricating fuel to the brain; hence any unthinking brain eventually seizes production and dries out in a BRAIN DRAIN. So think well, splendid and excellent things that would mould and not fold your life. You must grow by thinking! I welcome you to the thinking college.

For as many that may ask “what is physiology?” I will less be taken aback as I have been asked the same question by almost everybody that gets to know I’m studying physiology.

Physiology - the study of normal functioning of the human system – is commonly referred to as the backbone and pillar of medicine. That notwithstanding, there is a little popularity attached to it when compared to other medical-related courses.

Generally, physiology as a course has its vicissitudes like any other course. However, it is one of the courses where; while some students obtain a B.Sc degree, others obtain a B.Tech degree. Specifically, the B.Tech degree issued after the completion of a 5 year course is offered in only one university in Nigeria while others award a B.sc degree after a 4-year duration of study. This disparity has priviledged the B.Tech students to some extent but also has been identified as a great demerit, characterised with intractable challenges. But why the disparity in the first place? – You ask.

According to investigations conducted, the B.Tech physiology is informed by the quest to produce students who have a practical teaching and industrial experience applicable to their field during their internship in the 4th year of study. Good premise! Besides, all first-degree courses in a University of Technology attract a B.Tech degree. However, the questions that should be answered include; are these premises properly monitored? Have they produced desired results? Of what implications do they derive to concerned lecturers and students? What difference do the B.Tech students make in their workplaces? And so on.

While it is a good thing for B.Tech students to engage in Industrial Training (IT), the not-too-good news is that only a few of them get good placements in their field. Even for ideally placed students, it is usually a tall order for them to dream of employment in their IT workplaces after leaving school – Hospitals announce they cannot employ physiologists, yet they engage them and use them during IT. Excellent it is, that students who get IT placements in relevant workplaces get the practical training and grooming but they should be given a chance of employment after school.

Similarly, the five –year duration is a subject of complaints among many B.Tech students. They opine that if at all it makes any difference, the extra one year is too long to commensurate with the gains, hence conclude it is time-wasting. For instance, the extra one year for B.Tech students, it is believed, accounts for introduction of ‘irrelevant’ courses into their curriculum. Or how best do you connect; site selection and planning, a course from URP department to physiology?

Worst of it all, many of these courses are offered as a major course (sometimes 3 or 4 unit courses) by the host department, implying a detailed course content beyond the scope a physiologist can understand. That notwithstanding, the screening of our scripts is given a ‘strict touch’ that equals that of students from the host department. Usually, such classes host three to four other departments resulting in congestion of lecture halls, uncontrollable noise, poor teaching, demotivation to attend classes, and poor results.

To me, results of such extra-departmental courses should be observed to verify poor performance when compared with intra-departmental courses. A better way to achieve good results in extra-departmental courses is for the department (not host department) to determine the course content, and invite a lecturer from related host departments to teach the students separately from the host department’s students. Here the course content is usually precise, relevant and understandable unlike the detailed jargon, students strive to cram and pour, in the case of mixing the students.

For a typical physiology student offering four complex extra-departmental courses (in his third year), it does not allow focus on relevant physiology courses leading to poor proficiency in the career line. The extra-departmental courses constitute excess workload that deprives attention and proficiency in physiology courses. If truly the extra one year seems to create a vacuum, I advise that, allowing students to specialise and attain expertise in a specific segment of physiology would do, other than filling the vacuum with irrelevant courses. This way, the students can focus and become proficient in specific fields like aviation physiology, cardiovascular, respiratory, sports and exercise, and neurophysiology.

Just as I was instructed by the police to write a statement after having been arrested without any allegation, it just dawned on me that if they knew it were a hobby for me, they would have sheathe their words and not attempt such. But just as it was more of an out-of-volition thing, I deem it fit to share the ordeal suffered in their hands via this medium.

Most often we talk about corruption, intimidation and undue molestation of our fellow civilians by the uniform people. This has been on for some time now but has never been this pronounced like I experienced some days back. Tell me what else a country like ours expects from young, agile and ready-to-serve Nigerian youths who embark on the volunteer journey all in the name of achieving a better society only to turn out as crime suspects of the police. Fine, being a crime suspect, you say its no big deal, but the process defies the explanation or use of words to say “terrible”.

This was the case as two young student volunteers (my friend and I) were organizing a youth interactive and networking session with the SS3 students of a secondary school in Ado Ekiti, Ekiti State in respect of the World AIDS Day Celebration. While in the process, we visited the State Action Committee on AIDS (SACA) to seek their support particularly in the provision of IEC materials for our upcoming programme. Shortly after we left the SACA office for the nearby secondary school, and on reaching agreements with the school authority did the State Anti-Crime Squad of the Nigerian Police, Ekiti State Command, accost us.

The policemen dressed in just one single identity as policemen – their police-inscribed bullet proof, parked on us in a scoop that eventually resulted in our arrest without any allegation. We were just accosted, intimidated and threatened with a gun. We were ordered to mount the back of their patrol van while our laptop was seized immediately. Right from that moment, their inhumane show started like it was a concocted plan to implicate and molest innocent civilians. Judging by the way all the rank and files conducted in their tipsy manner, it was evident they were wronged with nitrogen narcosis.

However, thinking it was a staged thing was far from the right as it was already a known misdemeanour that was not meted out on us only, but all other unsuspecting and easy-going civilians. While in the van, “where is your ID card?” asked one of them in a hush voice. On presenting our ID, his inability to identify the validity of the ID was nothing more than most denigrating! “ Do you think you can dare me by giving me an expired ID card, you think am a fool by giving me this? You are in trouble today”. Those were the words of one of this khaki people. That notwithstanding, you could always trust them with doing something – harassing and threatening you, insinuating that you were trying to fool their intellect, by giving them an invalid ID, an ID that was issued this year with a validity of two years. But for the timely correction of his colleague, only God knows what could have followed as an aftermath.

The question that remains dangling in the whole case is: when are we going to revere and accord appropriate respect to the civilian population? Or is it true that the khaki and gun thing really intoxicates without leaving anything other than insensitivity, callousness, and a host of other unthinkable attributes in such uniform men? In a Nation where the number one threat to social growth is that of HIV/AIDS, one would expect that the fight against such pandemic should be of concern to everybody. However, it’s most pathetic, disheartening and almost incredible to hear of how frustrating the actions of some khaki people have been great menace to achieving the HIV-free society as projected by the Millennium Development Goals.

Never satisfied with our calmness notwithstanding their empty threats, we were marched into their filthy interrogation room like is always done to miscreants. There, we were then alleged to be ‘yahoo boys’, an allegation we immediately refuted. Presenting our movement and mission to them using all available pieces of evidence, they would never allow just and fair hearing but still hold their allegations.

To worsen our anxiety, they entered into a close-door meeting while our laptop remained with them. While that singular action suggested many things to me, most prominent among them is the possibility that they could configure implicating materials and packages on the laptop to substantiate their prior false allegation. You would agree with me it was not an impossible act in the Nigerian setting.

While giving our verbal statement as their investigation proceeded, “you said you were giving HIV lecture abi, then give us our own portion of the lecture!” interrupted one of the policemen. All this happened while we were made to seat on bare floor. To add juice to the drama, he challenged our knowledge, talking despicably and disdainfully about our ‘good citizen’ mentality for everyone present, to mock and laugh at. “What do you know about HIV, besides, who send you work?”

Having found we were inculpable, and their allegations were baseless, we were referred to their Area Commander who made worthy, relevant inquisitions. He later ordered for the release of our laptop, but not after having spent over four hours in their domain, and having extorted some amount of money from us. The show ended that way.

The truth remains that cases of laptop snatching and related offences have been on the high side in recent times within the town, but that does not throw to the wind, nor alter the law of the land that the police profess to protect which states “an accused person is not punishable until proven guilty in the law court”. As law-updated as they claim to be, they seem to be ignoramus, or better still, oblivious of this portion of the law, going by the way they mal-handled and ill-treated us, depriving us our fundamental right.

If this could happen to young persons on a volunteer work, more importantly working to fight the course of achieving an HIV-free society, then it’s simply portentous of the extent to which we need to go in advancing such course among such odds. More importantly, it is worth sharing to help motivate ourselves for how far thus we have gone, and at the same time, brace up ourselves to combat such odd challenges, should it reoccur in future event.

The last one being a three-month strike embarked byASUU. this time around, it's sthe fight for the lecturers' over nine months allowance that is the viewpoint taking the center stage.

What then could be said of the scenario where the students read like 'bookaholic' but get the 'laziholic' experience in results. I have always heard that what you give to life is what it gives back to you. while i do not contradict this, i simply want to say that, the magnitude of your effort is your motivator, not your achievements. I write this because i witnesss the inside-out of deliberate acts of self pity and guilt my class members experience whenever a result is released. the much inputed effort does not corespond your woeful grades. moreso in a college of health sciences where the bulk of the class is 'serious' The question of 'did you read' does not even surface. As we approach exam season, the libraries are full while every tree shed is a good study room. changing the mindframe of people to developing themselves and not succumbing to lecturers' threat to falure, seem to be misconstrued as unseriousness. While i take no joy in sounding perfect, i wish to pass the word for the bookaholics getting laziholic effects that knowing oneself, doing self-checks, and exploring opportunities are things they often miss.

The truth is, there are more parties concerned than are being carried along in the ASUU palaver. The lecture situation in my school (LAUTECH) here does not make any difference yet as the strike, according to ASUU was to fight among all other things the deplorable situation of infrastructural facilities in the Nigerian universities. I resumed school expecting that things would change for the better within the first few weeks, but to my utmost chagrin, we still sit on laboratory tables ,compete for use of lecture halls and embark on lecture schedule spanning from 7 am to 7 pm owing to this predicaments.
It's hightime ASUU was decisive in its resolve to consistently fight to finish their course of advancing the course of the Nigerian education system within which they are key players. I understand there is an impending internal strike in my school now due to the backlog of monetisation arrears owed the lecturers by the two state governments. I pray God puts an end to this longstanding struggle himself.
Cheers.

Perhaps, she has successfully danced to the perspective of people that it was realy redy to hold light by dropping the Nigerian electric energy production capacity by 50%, a scenario which may have earned it the 'noble' position of one of Nigeria's most corrupt facets,giving credibility to that claim.

We eventually got to this checpoint where we saw soldiers deployed there following the aftermath of the election protests in the state.
They were purpotedly doing a fake stop and search operation even though theroad was barricaded with logs of wood.we stopped and parked by the roadside as instructed by the soldier. To our greatest surprise and contrary to expectation of demanding money from the driver, he pounced on the passengers, ordering everybody to unload his bag and unpack his belongings and personal effects.I was pissed and i only reacted by praising my God THE SOLDIER THEN PICKED ON ME AND STARTED THREATENING ME WITHG GUN SAYING I WAS TOO BOLD AND COURAGEOUS FOR HIS LIKING]]> Thu, 24 May 2007 10:20:00 EDT http://kinsblog.tigblog.org/post/209283 7.6333333 5.21666677.63333335.2166667 http://kinsblog.tigblog.org/post/166881 Sat, 17 Mar 2007 07:12:00 EDT http://kinsblog.tigblog.org/post/166881 7.6333333 5.21666677.63333335.2166667
