Funding Nigerian Universities
The funding of Nigerian Universities is at its all time low, despite the purported efforts of successive governments, not much can be shown for the efforts. Therefore, there is an urgent need for stakeholders in the country’s education sector to align their different objectives to rescue the University system from total collapse.
An apsect of fundraising is captured below;
The big issues here therefore, are; what is different from the Nigerian case and that of the UK and other places (?) Are there no corporately responsible companies in Nigeria (?) Are we lacking of wealth benefactors and formal students OR Are the universities not blessed with them (?)These questions are begging for our answers for a start. What is your take?
Just Three Stories - Steve Jobs
Steve Jobs needs no introduction, he is the person behind the Apple Computers maker of mac and the i- (s) of this i-world; he is also the person that gave us Pixar, the great Animation Studios in Hollywood.
Steve strikes one as the average Joe with an average Joe story. He is like the rest of us in many aspects; but he swam against the currents and weathered the storms of life through in the midst failures, loss and the threat of death via cancer. Through it all he still stands victorious, I think you too, CAN!
I wish you will have all the time to read see this clip of Steves’ speech to a graduation class of 2005 at Stanford; Steve by the way did not graduate from college himself. He said “Today I want to tell you three stories from my life. That’s it. No big deal. Just three stories”. Here him;

‘IT’ Can Be Good Or ‘IT’ Can Be Bad
‘IT’ Can Be Good Or ‘IT’ Can Be Bad - It’s All Up To You!
Contributed by: Theresa Twogood
What is ‘IT’ that once experienced leads to more of the same ‘IT’? What is ‘IT’ if bad that feeds off of and gobbles up every good and simple pleasure known to man; but when good, gobbles up all negativity equally as well? What is ‘IT’ that once realized makes one undertake the mission of passing ‘IT’ on to as many people as possible as if playing a game of tag! What is ‘IT’ that we humans feel we must pass back a forth daily if not hourly? Why do we who understand ‘IT’ to be either bad or good, however still allow others to continue sharing the bad ‘IT’ with us? What is ‘IT’ that if allowed to continue or remain bad can and will at times lead to clinical depression as well as serious panic and anxiety issues?
By now we all recognize that ‘IT’ refers to the state of our mental state of being. ‘IT’ can be either good or bad; it’s all up to the individual. Why then is it that now-a-days we adults seem so bent on sharing and passing negative ‘IT’ with each other, back and forth? Are we modern adult’s just gluttons for punishment? Why do we allow others to continue to share their negative ‘IT’ with us or better known as, ‘neg’ us out? Read more »
